So here we are in the Bryan, Ohio Holiday Inn Express. I like Holiday Inn Express, they have a free breakfast bar. And, more importantly, really good showers. I think we're all very happy about the showers right now.

And I'd just like to say that this whole trend of World's Most Bizarre Emergencies can, y'know, stop anytime. We're all fine, no need to worry, we'll be back probably tomorrow night sometime, but I swear there's something about the mutant gene that acts like a weird magnet. No, like a superconducting weird magnet, the kind you get in really expensive labs that you can't wear metal jewelry around.

Also, it's not a good idea to leave a dragon in the car on a hot day, even if you crack the windows. I'm just saying.

How'd the rally go?

The internets are mine!!!

And yes, showers are excellent, excellent things. 98% of it might have gone through me, but that last 2% was still of the icky.

You know, I didn't get to go on last summer's adventure but, really, on the whole, after this one, I think I'm going to petition to miss next one's as well. Just a bit of a hassle, really. Jamie, I think we need a vacation from our vacation.

Ha! I steals the laptop back!

Your power is way unfair when it comes to flying rotten food. You're right, though. I vote for relaxation time when we get back.

Bwahaha! You can't have it! It's mine! It's... HEY! STOP THAT! Eeeeep!

There was soemthing I was going to say... Oh. Want to take a non bizarre emergency trip before classes start? We could do the labor day thing...

See, my power is way unfair when it comes to combining an encyclopedic knowledge of your ticklish spots with stealing back the laptop again.

And that sounds like a heck of a lot of fun. Just the two of us? And where did you have in mind?

You cheat. You cheat a lot. Am phasing the computer out until I finish checking my email... :p

Yeah, I figure we could leave Lockheed with 'Yana. They almost seem to be getting along these days, in a bizare change of fortunes. I think the traditional thing is to go somewhere sunny and beach like, which suggests Florida, but I'm a geek, so Florida suggests Cape Canaveral to me...

Okay, that shouldn't work. Should it? I mean, it does, obviously, but the thought of getting internet service on an intangible computer is just wacky. And it's cheating way more than I was, just so you know.

He prefers 'Yana to me, is what it is. I'm gonna wake up to a drawer full of singed socks one of these days. And Cape Canaveral? You are such a genius. Always wanted to go there. :)

It's one of thoes things we don't think about too much, I think. Well, that and give thanks that the room's got wireless, maybe. Don't know if it would work if everything had to be physically connected.

You are such a genius.

That's wht they tell me.

"So, how long have you been a superhero?"
"Well, I'm not. But I _did_ stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!"

*snicker* Didn't need any superheroics, luckily. But I am never going to be able to watch "Christine" again.

Well, I've never been one for horror movies in general, so I'm not sure what the reference might be. :) I mean, I know it's a Steven King movie, but that's it.

It's the one with the homicidal car. Apparently gremlins are not just for movies anymore.

Dude.

You weren't kidding when you said we get the World's Most Bizarre Emergencies, were you?

I often kid. "Constantly" would not be too strong a word. But tonight, I am not. Tonight, I have been chased out of a Winnebago by canned goods and growled at by my own car.

Yeah, that's not something to kid about.


x_crowdofone
August 27 2005, 21:22:55 UTC
But all's well that ends with 'Yana settling the gremlins' hash and a steak dinner on my uncle's dime, as I always say.

August 27 2005, 21:29:41 UTC
Amen to that. Any thing that ends with steak dinner on someone else's dime isn't a _total_ loss of a day.

I'm just glad there was a complete lack of projectile vomit. That would have been more icky than I could have handled.

So we're not counting the fridge? Or the blender?

We are not counting the fridge and we are not speaking of the blender. Ever. Although I think I finally figured out what had Lockheed in such a tizzy on the way home.

Evil fridge.

It just doesn't seem to fit in his world view.

Dude. I've projectile vomited, and its so not cool. Its not cool, and its majorly gross. Worse when its like, that stuff that's in your stomach when nothing's in your stomach.


x_wytchbrat

That'd be bile. And I don't want to think about how often I've done the vomit when there's nothing to vomit thing the last day or so.

The rally went amazingly well. Definitely couldn't have pulled it off without the groundwork you helped set originally, so you've got as much credit due as anyone for any success HeliX comes up with.

Very good day.

Awesome. Wish I coulda been there. Way more fun than my day.

Yep, Forge = my hero.

You need to come home, though. For whacky hijinks that I can participate in. I am lacking of the whacky and it's just not fair.

Well, I'm home now. :) Did you have any specific brand of wacky in mind?
