"Just in case I need to perform last rites, I'm here."

*mutters the Litany Against Fear*
I must not fear. Fear is the Mind Killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I would just like to note that the lady this intervention is being held for isn't, y'know, here...

Mmm-hmm... The lady in question has got work tomorrow, unlike us ne'er-do-wells. Rat didn't post this exercise in delayed hara kiri until after her bedtime.

Care to place a wager that this thread will drop off the bottom of the Recent Threads list before Our Mistress notices it?

Care to make a side bet that having noticed the thread, she won't post to it?

Care to make a third bet that, by this time tomorrow evening, Rat and any other unrepentant co-conspirators will either be smoking holes in the fabric of spacetime or else securely shackled to Her throne, plying their pedicury talents on the Divine digits?

I'll give you astronomical odds...


Prognosticatively,

zoid

P.S.
In a reverse of the Cap'n's statement, you might want to think about moving out of the middle... Not an ideal location, at present... Maybe a place out on the edge. We've got plenty of room in the foxhole *dammit!* fighting position, with welder's goggles for eye filters, and Spam and Ovaltine for breakfast. Dint'cha ever see what happens to them preachers what stands the field in "War of the Worlds" or "Dragonslayer"? One second they're all, "Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death..."; next second, flying body parts and simmering goo. It's like they wuz asking for it.
(NB: Y'all do know that the priest that gets flash-fried in "Dragonslayer" was Ian McDiarmid, a.k.a., Emperor Palpatine, right?)

Astronomical odds? Well. I place my money on her never seeing the thread.

But I remain safe in my undertaker duties.

...Say, where are the foxes?

A couple of counties over by now, I should expect. *zoid sniffs air for telltale scent of brimstone.* Hey, 'Me... You didn't happen to notice any standing pillars of salt on your way to the fox-, er, fighting position, did you?


Right! Ebo said that she had gone fox-hunting before she re-appeared on the Sereni-TREE. I guess she was wildly successful.

No, Zoid, no pillars of salt that I noticed.

* The Real Me carefully examines his current surroundings. *

You are mistaken, Zoid. I think that this is a foxhole. If YOU think that it is a fighting position, then WHO DO YOU PLAN TO BE FIGHTING??

* The Real Me starts to edge away from Zoid. *

I'm gonna feed her chocolate. and ice ceam with cocolate. and creme brulee and maybe a chocolate souffle.

See, if I tie her up here, I know she'll stay around long enoug to enjoy the treats.

*looks around wildly*

So, um, this foxhole is kinda cozy. I heard there was some crazy person posing as all the treehousers.

*joining Grey*
Where the fear has gone there wil be nothing. Only I will remain.

*zoid sticks finger in painfully ringing ear, and wiggles it*

Dude... I'm right here and it's a small fox- er, 'fighting position'.

Actually, it wasn't my idea to call it a 'fighting position'. The US military, in an attempt to seem more sympathetic to its growing female membership, mandated the change. Foxholes must now be called 'fighting positions', cockpits are euphemistically referred to as 'flight decks'.

I sh*t you not. So, while this shelter was originally a foxhole, as soon as Ebo climbed in it turned into a 'fighting position', in accordance with the proudest traditions of military history. I still think they need to rethink their strategy on this one though: As soon as you put a female member in a foxhole with a guy, it's all about fighting? I'm with you: I think that's the wrong message to send.

I don't know what the new, politically correct term for 'slit trench' is; but, we sure as hell need one cause this fox- *crap!* fighting position is getting crowded...


Linguistically,

zoid

I think she WILL see it, but won't post unless we stop talking about her. I don't think she cares what we say about her, just that we say it about her!...












So...how'bout them Bucs?

I'm shocked and a bit shaken that Malicious hasn't stopped by yet!

Thanks for the memory ! But wasn't it "a bunch of idiots" singing the song, and if so, is that a reflection on those of us who persist in posting to this thread? Just askin', since I seem to be one of them. Oh, well.

Packer fans welcome.
