The Legend of Awesome Manny

There is a tale that has been passed down from generation to generation about a man who walks the path of the Jedi. The only thing known about his appearance is that he wears Jedi robes and a visor, he also walks with a lightsaber. Unfortunately, his miracles were never documented, but according to the story, he's deeds have helped mankind throughout time. According to the bible, Moses was able to part the Red Sea with the assistance of God to help his people escape from the Pharaoh. In other documents I have read, the people say there was another man there. Before Moses spoke to God, this man walked onto the Red Sea itself and using his own power, he singlehandedly parted the Red Sea. The only description the people had was, he wore Jedi robes, a visor, and he had a lightsaber. As his miracles became more and more awesome, people began to refer to him as Awesome Manny. According to the legend, Awesome Manny is the only man alive who can stand up to Henry Kayz's charms.

Unfortunately, Awesome Manny is just a legend, but I believe he lies dormant in one individual by the name of Manny. My belief was confirmed on September 30, 2007 when I was talking to Manny about buying a specific type of shades, in response he said, "I only wear Oakleys." At that point I know, even if it was for a split second, I witnessed a glimpse of Awesome Manny. Even Jason, who never believed in the legend of Awesome Manny, became a believer. It was truly breathtaking. It was like looking into the face of God and seeing him give you a thumbs up.

In reality, Jason and I think that if Manny wore bathrobes, sunglasses, and walked with his lightsaber, he would look awesome. Especially, if he pretended the bathrobes were Jedi robes and that the sunglasses were visors and walked around the city like that. This is how we came up with Awesome Manny. Unfortunately, Manny is not awesome therefore he will never do this. Therefore the world will never witness Awesome Manny.
