The Isolated Blurt Thread IX: Insurrection

[IrezumiKiss]

"Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest — thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated."

— Beau Taplin, T e m p l e s

Hang in there, the milestones brings it all rushing back. Grieve on your time.

Tell me something about Halloween. Do you dress up and go out, give out candy, do anything fun?

Halloween is a multi-event holiday and I will wear two costumes this year.
The week before a pumpkin carving party which was last night.
On Halloween a costume party which has slowly become a dinner over the years.
Next an over the top costume party where the whole house is themed immersion style, starting with the walk from the street. This one has incredible hand made invitations that arrival months before.
The next day is a pumpkin smashing party using long swords.
There is some overlap in the attendees, but not much and usually I am the only one to go to all 4 parties, we shall see this year. I keep thinking there is also something on Sunday too, but I will have to check.

I am going to leave candy on the stoop.

For someone who doesn't drink or anything and never entertains anymore, I go to a lot of parties. I hope I can get through them all, I may just bop through the pumpkin smashing one, long swords are heavy. Since I got sick, earlier this year, I haven't been able to do 8-10 hrs of back to back parties or cons, but I have been working on building up my stamina recently so I am hopeful.

What are your plans?

I will sit outside in the yard beside Grumpy (and maybe my son if he stops out), beside a warm fire, with soup and a beer and hand out candy to about 300 ToTers!! I love seeing all the fun costumes.

My pirate costume may or may not be worn...I may save it for the cruise, it depends on the weather Friday night.

My girlfriend is a huge Cowboys fan. Good luck tomorrow.

The young lady I go on wine trips with is a Cowboys fan too. I suspect she was dropped on her head as a child.

Fucking police helicopters are going WILD here. It's like Apocalypse Now.

They have helicopters in England? I had no idea.

What did you think it was Prince William was flying for search and rescue?

yeah, we swapped 'em for a cargo container full of Toblerone's

was a good deal.

Wasn't that in a land far away though?


I prefer to think of England as a place of castles, and knights in armour, and fair maidens, and mutton, and serving wenches...

A giant eagle, obviously.

Why a fair maiden, of course!

his unmodified turbo engine AS350 B3 helicopter on the world's tallest mountaintop...

I want fish tacos. Thanks Gar Nate.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I have a subconjunctival hemorrhage... according to my interweb research.

 

[Riles]

I have never had a fish taco and I still think they sound nasty.

You should lay off the heavy lifting....or the autoerotic asphyxiation.

I dismissed them as a new fad, but I have to say... they are pretty damn good. I wouldn't really call them a taco though. More like a fish sandwich, but I'm not one to quibble.

I think something must be going on when I'm asleep, because i wake up feeling like I've been run over by a train.

I suspect someone is coming in late at night, drugging me and making me move furniture or chop firewood or something.

I'll have to turn on the hidden cams in my bedroom.

I'm losing too much blood. Goddammit, I don't have time for a transfusion this week.

Dear Dishonest Sweaty Ball Sucking Scum,

When you arrive at your destination in France, the room you paid for with my CC will NOT be waiting for you. Thanks to the interwebs, my bank, and the travel company you used, I have thwarted you with only a minor inconvenience to me.
bwahahaha

I'm happy you thwarted them. That's a great word. Thhhhwarted.

May I suggest an improvised tourniquet? Perhaps a belt? And also a call to emergency services?

I am too! And i love that word!

Although the name used was probably not their real name, the guy i talked to at the travel company was so flustered he gave me the check in date, the name the reservation is under, and the name of the hotel. I wish i had the money to be there when they show up just to toy with them.

It's internal but I deal with it a lot. Emergency services aren't currently needed, but some lab work will need to be done.

I keep hearing this but my brain rejects it.

If you were splitting wood, you'd feel it...plus you'd get ripped. And why is this the only part of that post I am having issue with? I've clearly been here too long.
