Silliness Stream? Prunk! - Page 5

The smell of diesel, the taste of metal, the sound of engines, the feel of the wind, the sight of the earth passing far below...

OK, zepplins aren't for everybody. But for those of us who are filthy rich or at least good talkers, they're a very handy mode of transportation. One of my favorite right now. I've got Reynard packing and preparing the ship. I can't tell you the actual top speed (top secret, you know) but I can tell you that I prefer a very leisurely trip... more time to read, study, and drop water balloon.

I think the baronness has something in mind. I know she does. She never comes to me unless she needs something (and has exhauster her other options). We'll see, but for now, I need to make sure that Reynard stocks good gin, and my silk pajamas.

One way or another. If the baronness' offer doesn't seem... sincere, I have some other expeditions planned. This time, I'm packin' heat! Or at least someone who can defend me. ;-) Now SHE's a fox, but probably more like kitune. We might even try some smuggling organs. I hear South America is ver', ver' nice this time of year. Holy mole!

The baronness' last coded message doesn't make sense. That and I got chicken soup on it. The broth isn't bad, the oil's the problem. Dang thing is translucent and I can't figure out her fancy writing.

And, for needless clarification and complication, Reynard is my manservant. Normally, he's an opthamologist, but he lost a bet. I'd bet he's more careful next time, but I'd probably lose. :-D

Armed and ready to travel! Bodyguard service occasionally for hire, if the adventure sounds like fun -- and if I happen to be bored at the time!

mvisconte · 03-05-2010, 03:02 AM

Aye! A volunteer!

Quick test for suitability for the hardships we may encounter.

Right or left? Toward the inside (wall) or outside? Aisle or Window (or middle of 4 screaming kids)? Hard-boiled or soft? 2-minute or fried hard? American or Cheddar. Beer, Wine, Bourbon, Scotch, or Vodka? Small arms or crew-served battery?

Squatty-potty, slit trench, chemical, porceline, shovel and leaves, DIY composting? 25 #, 50 #, 75# pack, or burros? Sharp edged hand-held instruments, throwy things, bludgeons, chemical, or consistent, high-precision, high-speed, long-range, accellerant-based, mechanical punch delivery system?

Alton or Mario? McGyver or death? Automobile or ship? Watership or Airship ? Airship or Spaceship? Ship-shade or "pull down the shades"? Country or western? Classical or Fusion? Rap or the sound of rabid dogs savaging a cute bunny-wunny? Rock, Scissors, or Paper?

Raw, rare, med-rare, medium, med-well, or over?
5 second rule, or I found this lodged under the couch, it's great, want some?

Jerky or drive-in?
Chocolate or chocolate malt?
Whipped cream or whipped topping?
Round nose or JHP? 380, 9, 40, 45, 50 or other?
Iron or optics? Active or passive?

Schedules and plans are more important to results or "It may take a while, but I'll take the whole damn hill, singlehanded!"?

Fred or George? Pinky or Da Brain? Ren or Stimpy? Batman or Joker?

Be prepared to justify you answers. You have 60 seconds, except for the essay questions.

Oh, and can you keep a zepline on track for hours at a time with little/no contact with the ground?

GeoffC · 03-05-2010, 04:48 AM

mvisconte · 03-05-2010, 08:32 AM

ALL of them? I like a man who isn't afraid of being diametrically opposed to himself! But we're not heading anywhere near Asia, so, sorry... no cats.

Ah, I know what it is... South America -- CHOCOLATE! You are sure you aren't Mayan? Ah, for a good stick of Nestle's. (grins... hasn't Nestle turned into the McDonalds of Chocolate? Or is it the Burger King to Hershey's McD'?)
