Category: Parody Tribute

This is my tribute to Robert Asprin, who died very recently.  The whole dueling wizards idea comes right from his MythAdventures stories.  Of course, it is also a tribute to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  And the only movie I have ever seen where beautiful maidens were begging to be spanked and left unspanked.

And needless to say, to explain this story in the fewest possible words, I made reference to Harry Potter, the creation of J.K. Rowling.




No one was as surprised as I was when I found out that magic is real.  And all the things that you see in Harry Potter are possible.  It is too late for me to get into Hogwarts, so I had to learn magic by trial and error, and by sharing secrets with other magic users.

I was corresponding with a Hedge Wizard by the name of Roscoe.  Either I frightened Roscoe or he became jealous of me, so Roscoe tried to kill me by casting a spell that sent me into an alternate reality.  He had to pick something from a book I had read or a movie I had seen, so he had to try to read my mind.  And he had seen something that said "Great Peril", so that was the alternate reality to which he sent me..  And I would be stuck there for at least 24 hours.

I couldn't remember what I had seen or read that had "Great Peril".  I was wearing a suit of armor and standing in front of a castle.  This worried me.  I knew I would last about two seconds if I got into a fight with a real medieval knight.  Just then I heard voices, so I ducked between a buttress.

"Let me handle them!"  cried one knight.

"Yes, let him handle us!" cried a group of young women.

"No, no, too perilous!" insisted another  knight.  And he dragged the first knight off.

I suddenly knew where I was.  I was at Castle Anthrax.  I quickly ran into the castle before they could close the portcullis.

"Fair Maidens, I am a questing knight seeking the Holy Grail and I have seen it glowing from the tops of your ramparts.", I said to them.

"No, you haven't, it is just a Grail shaped beacon that was lit my twin sister, Zoot," replied Dingo, the leader of the fair young maidens.

"Oh, Zoot is so wicked to raise the hopes of an innocent knight such as myself, and then dash them.  She should be punished."

"Here in Castle Anthrax, there is only one punishment, spanking!  You must spank Zoot and then have your way with her!" Dingo said to me wondering if I was going to run away as Sir Gallahad did.

"Alas, how tragic!" I said. "It is a terrible thing, but someone has got to do it. So it might as well be me."

"How do we know you are really going to punish Zoot?" asked a still suspicious Dingo.

"The only way I could prove it is to give you a demonstration."

"Very well, demonstrate on us all, then you may punish Zoot!"

Soon  Dingo was over my knee, her skirts high above her waist, her beautiful bottom bare and turning red as I spanked her.  And there was a long row of pretty maidens waiting their turn.  It was then I realized that this exertion actually might kill me, but it would be worth it.

LOL now there might just be a spanko's dream death in this funny and interesting tale. I enjoyed reading this piece very much even though I have never read either piece that the author spoke of in his narrative.

Yes Death by giving a spanking now there is a crafty spell to cast to upon someone you know has those desires, Roscoe was indeed a very wise wizard and the young knight did indeed rush in where fools fear to tread. :)

The author did a wonderful job on this piece it was extremely entertaining and well written.

A very cute story and every spankos fantasy.  I suppose there are worse ways to die :-) I thought the author was clever inserting himself into the story and of course, when Sir Gallahad ran away from the peril he was more than willing to face it.  There wasn't too much else with regard to using ones imagination, but overall it was a quick enjoyable read.

Well I did like this one, though not familiar with the work of Robert Aspirin, the influence of 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' was overwhelming. The story was cute and fun without being overly original but I liked the finale which must be every spanko's ideal. If we all have to die let it be from the exertion of spanking a row of pretty maidens. Nice.

This is a cute story.  Well if one has to go, spanking a beautiful maiden is the way to do it. It is never nice to fool a knight.  Yes. lessons have been given on the knee since the time of the pyramids.  Is it possible that Mark Anthony taught Cleopatra a few lessons at the time? This writer has the ability to bring this entire story to life.  Both the flow and construction of this story made for an enjoyable read.  I look forward to reading more stories about the young knight's time in the Castle Anthrax.
