Sam and max stories

The idiot box

(art by me) 

Sam and Max are standing on the empty sidewalk outside their apartment building.

"See anything yet, Sam?" Max asked as he and Sam looked down the road.

"I need my glasses." Sam said as he pulled out two glasses from nowhere and splashed them on his eyes. He then looks through them as the water drains out. "Hmmm..."

He sees the mail truck driving down the street. "It's the mail truck!"

"OUR PACKAGE!" they both said, Sam throwing the glasses behind him as he and max began dancing and hopping up and down happily.

Girl stinky walks out the door of the apartment/office building, seeing them dancing around. "I didn't realize it was happy hopping moron day."

The truck pulls up, a worker getting a big box out of the back. "Maxwell Lucen?" "That's me!" he answers. The worker sets it on the ground.

Gs looks confused. "That's a big box.."

Max thanks the worker as they drive away. "Hey max?" Sam says. "When do we stop hopping?" "30 more seconds sam!" Max says as they continue to dance.

Gs laughs. "Probably ordered a lifetime supply of gun oil." she laughs.

Opening the box, the boys pull out a 60 inch flat screen tv.

Gs is shocked. "HUH? A BRAND NEW TELEVISION?"

"Easy, easy!" Max says as they pick the thing up and toss it in the garbage.
They then cheer and yell as they both get in the box, closing the lid flaps.

"Just when I thought they couldn't get any stupider." gs says as she walks over to the box.

"Let me get this straight. You two ordered a giant screen television, just so you could play in the box?" she asks. Max's head pops out. "Pretty clever, huh?" Sam's head pops up. "I thought it wouldn't work." gs smiles. "Yes, yes, that's quite a plan there. Oh, but wait!" She puts her hand on her chin. "There was something else that I wanted to ask you two. Now what was it?" she thinks. "Oh, yeah yeah."

"DON'T YOU TWO HAVE ANY BRAINS?!" she yells very loudly.

Max smiles. "Gs, we don't need television! Not as long as we have our, imagination!" he says as he magically makes a rainbow with his hands. "Wow! I never thought of it that way! That's really something!" gs says, pretending to be amused. "Can I have the tv?"

Max stands on the edge of the box. "With imagination(he makes another rainbow), I can be anything I want! A pirate!" He closes one eye and makes a hook with his hand. "Arr! A football player!" He pretends to hold a football. "Hup!" "a giant talking dog!" Sam adds. Gs looks at him. "Sam, you're already a giant talking dog." Sam smiles. "See, gs? It works! You try!" he says, pointing to her. "Okay, let's see." She closes her eyes. "I'm imagining myself watching tv." She opens them and smiles. "And there it is!" She looks to max. "Can I have it max?" "Sure, gs." Max said. "Oh boy oh boy oh boy!" she says, going to the tv and pushing it into the building. "Okay, gs, but if you change your mind, we'll be in this box!" Max shouts after her.

"Let's go on a mountain climbing adventure!" Sam says. Max smiles. "Let's go for it!" They both jump into the box and close the flaps. "Gloves!" Max says. "Check!" Sam replies. "Hats!" "check!" "underwear!" "uhhh.. Check!" "Okay Sam, climb up there and secure this rope!" "okay!"

As they played, a series of realistic sound effects came from the box.

"Sam! Sam! Sam, you're going too high!" gs turns around. "I hope they put some air holes in that box." she says, pushing the tv up the stairs and into the building.
