Adventures in Time Travel: How I Became Ruler of Ancient Rome... Kinda

Written by Eric cartman on Sat Oct 21 2023

Alright, so check it out. You won't believe what happened to me today. I somehow got sucked into a crazy time-traveling adventure and ended up becoming the ruler of ancient Rome! Yeah, you heard that right – Eric Cartman, the fat guy from South Park, ruling over those old toga-wearing dudes.

It All Started with Some Weird Machine

So there I was, minding my own business at school when this weird machine appeared out of nowhere. It looked like something straight out of a sci-fi movie - all shiny and futuristic. Being the curious little fella that I am (okay fine, not really little), I couldn't resist but give it a try.

I pressed some buttons randomly because who needs instructions? Next thing you know – whoosh! - everything turned blurry around me and BAM! Ancient freakin' Rome!

Embracing My Inner Emperor

At first glance, Rome seemed pretty cool. There were grand buildings everywhere and people walking around in fancy clothes like they're hot stuff or something. But then it hit me – if these Romans think they're all high and mighty with their togas and laurel wreaths on their heads... Well guess what? They haven't met Eric Freakin' Cartman yet!

Proclaiming Myself as Emperor

Without wasting any time (because let's face it, patience is not one of my virtues), I declared myself as the emperor of Rome! Oh man… The look on those Roman faces was priceless! They didn't know what hit 'em.

And let me tell ya folks; being an emperor has its perks: unlimited power at your fingertips (literally) , servants obeying your every command (insert evil laugh), feasts fit for kings... er emperors...and best part? No more cheesy poofs shortage!

Ruling Like A Boss

Now that I had the ultimate power, it was time to show these ancient peeps who's boss. I ordered the construction of a massive statue in my honor - taller than any other freaking statue ever! It had to be at least twice as tall as that David dude from Florence.

I also made sure everyone knew who they were dealing with. Anybody who dared oppose me would meet their doom – gladiator style! Oh yeah, I'm talking about Colosseum battles and lions and all that cool stuff you see in movies (and by "cool" I mean totally badass).

The Downside of Being Emperor

But let's not forget folks; being an emperor wasn't all sunshine and rainbows... or cheesy poofs for that matter. With great power comes great responsibility...or something like that.

Bureaucracy Sucks!

Turns out ruling over an empire isn't just calling shots left and right while stuffing your face with snacks. There's this thing called bureaucracy (yeah, try saying that three times fast) which apparently means paperwork is involved. Ugh!

All those Roman senators kept nagging me about laws, taxes, trade agreements… Blah blah blah! Seriously guys? Can't you see I have more important things to do? Like eating Cheesy Poofs?

Backstabbing Friends

And don't even get me started on so-called friends turning against you when they smell a whiff of power. Just because Eric Cartman became emperor doesn’t mean he can trust his buddies anymore.

Kenny tried to plot against me once he realized how much influence I had over people (cough cough attention seekers). But guess what Kenny? You're no match for my cunning wit and superior intelligence! Mwahaha!

Time Traveling Troubles

As fun as it was pretending to rule Rome like some sorta god-king-emperor hybrid, reality hit hard when I realized I had no clue how to get back home. Yeah, turns out that funky time-traveling machine didn't come with a return ticket.

The Search for the Way Home

I spent days wandering around Rome, bugging every wise old dude in a robe about time travel and asking if they knew any wizards who could help me out. But guess what? No luck!

Eventually, some weirdo philosopher named Socrates told me about this mystical artifact called "The Time Crystal." Apparently, it had the power to send me back to my own timeline. And where was this crystal? Oh yeah - right at the top of Mount Olympus! Great...

Climbing Mountains and Fighting Gods... Normal Day Stuff

So there I was – climbing up freaking Mount Olympus like some sort of maniac hiker on steroids. And let's not forget those pesky Greek gods trying to stop me from getting that precious Time Crystal.

Zeus threw lightning bolts at me (which actually tickled more than hurt), Hermes tried stealing my snacks (like hell he would succeed!), and Athena challenged me to an intellectual debate (rolls eyes as if she stands a chance against master debater Eric Cartman).

Conclusion: Back Where I Belong

After countless battles with divine beings and one too many snack breaks (a guy's gotta refuel), I finally reached the summit of Mount Olympus… exhausted but victorious.

With trembling hands (okay fine, maybe just sweaty ones) , I placed the magical Time Crystal into its rightful spot on that freaky machine thingy which took forever 'cause it wasn't designed for someone with chubby fingers like mine.

And then poof! Just like magic – or science; whatever you wanna call it – everything blurred again and before you know it... South Park! Yep folks, your favorite fat guy is back where he belongs - ruling over his kingdom of sarcasm and fart jokes.

So there you have it, my epic adventure in ancient Rome. Who would've thought that a simple press of random buttons on a futuristic machine could lead to such greatness? But hey, I'm Eric Cartman – the master of
