'''George the Volcano''' is a massive puppet volcano that lives in Europe.  He has suffered fifth-degree burns from a run-in with [[Link]] and does not wish to be disturbed. Apart from this, he is infact a gigantic, naturally evolved Volvic Vending Machine who has gone slightly insane over the millennia from having to serve people like [[Tyrannosaurus Alan]] his volcano rock juices. He is also a massive (literally) pervert and likes grabbing various things by the conkers. Is thought to be the horrific lovechild of [[Thrakkorzog]] and an unknown partner.

He is extremely loud and obnoxious, known to bug travellers (usually [[Tyrannosaurus Alan]]) on a daily basis about various forms of Volvic. George has an unnatural obsession with his birds, often leading him to yell out "MY BIRDS!". Although George is often cool and collected, he is known to erupt from time to time. While he normally fills his water with Volcanicity (filtered through his handsome volcano rocks), he is occasionally known to put other things in his water such as twists, breakfast, cum, turds and bombs. Travellers must be wary to carefully inspect anything given by George before drinking it (despite the fact he will insist, sometimes to the point of [[violence]], that you TRY SOME right away).

Some fun facts about George:
 +
*His volcano rocks are incredibly handsome.
 +
*Life apparently grabs him by the conkers.
 +
*He is known to often say things he isn't supposed to.
 +
*He is one of the loudest beings in all of the universe, beaten only by [[Haruhi Suzumiya]], [[Binky the Clown]], [[Luffy]], [[Loud Kiddington]] and [[Icarus]]. The late [[Billy Mays]] was formerly in first place, but his death caused others to seize the title.
 +
*When provoked, he is capable of summoning the apocalypse.
 +
*Gorge is considered a suave ladies man among the bird population.
 +
*Being completely immobile, George secretly wishes Tyrannosaurus Alan would just fuck off and stop bothering him.
 +
*He is a pervert.
 +
*One time he was making Cillit Bang for breakfast.
 +
*He is the Volcanicity God and will not let anyone have the Chaos Emerald of Life unless they make a sacrifice to him first.
 +
*Location: Central France.
 +
*Really hates [[Yoshi]] because he hates watah! Glubba-dub-dubba!
 +
*Has the ability to spout out the cure for everything, but can only be done by saying magic words only Spoil-Sport remembers.
 +
*Is thought to be female, but he just has a ''very'' tiny penis.
 +
*Hated by [[Scott]] because his factory just happens to be right next to George, who constantly erupts.
 +
*Like George, [[Gwonam]] also has a very unhealthy obsession with birds.
 +
*It has been speculated that he is [[Misty]]'s father.
 +
*George is the owner of his own private car dealership. It is suspected that he uses his birds to slave away all day to make the cars, and although this may be true, the [[Scout|only person who ever saw it]] was too shocked to say anything. By the time he came to his senses, he [[No|forgot what he was going to say.]]

Volvic on the Nintendo Wii.

George the Volcano is a massive puppet volcano that lives in Europe. He has suffered fifth-degree burns from a run-in with Link and does not wish to be disturbed. Apart from this, he is infact a gigantic, naturally evolved Volvic Vending Machine who has gone slightly insane over the millennia from having to serve people like Tyrannosaurus Alan his volcano rock juices. He is also a massive (literally) pervert and likes grabbing various things by the conkers. Is thought to be the horrific lovechild of Thrakkorzog and an unknown partner.

Cultural Heritage: Prehistoric France

Personality[edit]

He is extremely loud and obnoxious, known to bug travellers (usually Tyrannosaurus Alan) on a daily basis about various forms of Volvic. George has an unnatural obsession with his birds, often leading him to yell out "MY BIRDS!". Although George is often cool and collected, he is known to erupt from time to time. While he normally fills his water with Volcanicity (filtered through his handsome volcano rocks), he is occasionally known to put other things in his water such as twists, breakfast, cum, turds and bombs. Travellers must be wary to carefully inspect anything given by George before drinking it (despite the fact he will insist, sometimes to the point of violence, that you TRY SOME right away).

Some fun facts about George:

  • His volcano rocks are incredibly handsome.
  • Life apparently grabs him by the conkers.
  • He is known to often say things he isn't supposed to.
  • He is one of the loudest beings in all of the universe, beaten only by Haruhi Suzumiya, Binky the Clown, Luffy, Loud Kiddington and Icarus. The late Billy Mays was formerly in first place, but his death caused others to seize the title.
  • When provoked, he is capable of summoning the apocalypse.
  • Gorge is considered a suave ladies man among the bird population.
  • Being completely immobile, George secretly wishes Tyrannosaurus Alan would just fuck off and stop bothering him.
  • He is a pervert.
  • One time he was making Cillit Bang for breakfast.
  • He is the Volcanicity God and will not let anyone have the Chaos Emerald of Life unless they make a sacrifice to him first.
  • Location: Central France.
  • Really hates Yoshi because he hates watah! Glubba-dub-dubba!
  • Has the ability to spout out the cure for everything, but can only be done by saying magic words only Spoil-Sport remembers.
  • Is thought to be female, but he just has a very tiny penis.
  • Hated by Scott because his factory just happens to be right next to George, who constantly erupts.
  • Like George, Gwonam also has a very unhealthy obsession with birds.
  • It has been speculated that he is Misty's father.
  • George is the owner of his own private car dealership. It is suspected that he uses his birds to slave away all day to make the cars, and although this may be true, the only person who ever saw it was too shocked to say anything. By the time he came to his senses, he forgot what he was going to say.
