"The Legend of Orro by Rat." "...The brothers Zorro and Orro stabbed the soldier....The soldier died." "TYPE TYPE TYPE." "Zorro made three quick slashes with his sword upon the wall, leaving his trademark 'Z.' Zorro hopped on his horse and fled." "TYPE TYPE TYPE." "Orro made three quick slashes with his sword upon the wall, but it looked nothing like an 'O.'" "TYPE TYPE TYPE." "Frantically, Orro made more slashes, but it still looked nothing like an 'O.'" "TYPE TYPE TYPE." "Orro turned his face to the heavens and screamed, 'Why are O's so #$@*&@# hard?!?' A group of soldier shot Orro in the back. Orro died." "Approaching the scene, the soldiers quickly recognized the dreaded mark of Zorro, but were baffled by Orro's sad 'O.'" "TYPE TYPE TYPE." "'Why did this man draw a triangle?' asked the first soldier. 'I think it's a star,' said the second soldier. 'It is an illegible mess,' declared the captain, 'Shoot him again for bad penmanship.' They shot Orro again." "TYPE TYPE TYPE." "We can't all be Zorro."
Orro undied.
