A: Yes, but without the smoke or dust - so quieter and less noticable.

*poit*ing smileys! Yay!

The suspense is just too much. Those poor suffering socks...

...and Am is very gracefully remembering one of the many rules of Squirrel Club:

Rule #1: No pooftas.

(one last bit before bed)

The party is now officially in full swing, unlike the poor laddy who has been in full swing for at least the last 20 minutes. RSE raises his hat as DGMa, stick waving, races past in hot pursuit of Ravenne, who's trying to find a pole to write "Germany!" on.

Enough ZCs and variants have been consumed for people to be uncertain as to whether they are really still there, or if they are about to turn up two days ago. Maybe as a result of that, the disco ball seems to be reflecting light not normally seen in this universe.

VR pauses in his hunt for more bacon, distracted by what seems like a very faint squirrelly smell. But before he can open his mouth to bark, the smell of cooking bacon wafts through, shortly followed by WDE barking. The squirrelly smell no longer noticable over the bacon smell, VR continues on his hunt for bacon.

those dogs !! they're so easily distracted ! talk about single-minded... who's going to save the psocks if they've all got bacon on the brain ???

ShortNCuddlyAm · 05-11-2009, 04:22 PM

(I knew there was something I meant to do today...)

<flash forward>

Hugo: Lefty, you've got to promise not to panic when I tell you what I'm about to tell you. Panicing will be bad, especially as it will wake the scarf up.
Lefty: OK, Hugo - I promise. Let me do my deep meditative breathing first though.
Hugo: When di... never mind...
Lefty: Ommmm... Ommmmm... Ommmm... Omnomnom...
Lefty (sounding calm and centred): OK, what did you have to tell me, Hugo?
Hugo: We're in a tumbledrier and I think...
Lefty: A WHAT???!!!! ARrrgghh! HELP!!!
Scarf: Mrrrsrrr?

DixieGal · 05-11-2009, 04:30 PM

You wanna know something that I've been too embarrassed to admit? Here goes: For the first 2 days, I thought it said tumbleRIDER. It made a lot more sense when I saw it was really DRIER.

Curly · 05-11-2009, 04:30 PM

Oh no! Nobody panic!

zelda_pinwheel · 05-11-2009, 04:31 PM

not the TUMBLEDRIER !!!

don't panic, you'll wake up the scarf !

don'tpanicdon'tpanicdon'tpanicdon'tpaaaaAAAAAAHHH !!!!!

ShortNCuddlyAm · 05-12-2009, 06:01 PM

<flashback>
The door closes and a whirring, thumping noise permeates the apartment. Several *poits* and the furry grey beings are gone. The cats, unimpressed by the LITTLE RED DOT vanishing, pad through to investigate the noise and - more importantly - to find out why it has started but things like pettings and food haven't happened. Bewildered by the absence of any human, and the lingering smell of squirrel, they pace to a more comfortable location

zelda_pinwheel · 05-12-2009, 06:11 PM

oooh, taking away the RED DOT OF CHAOS prematurely... this could go many places, but none of them good...

ShortNCuddlyAm · 05-12-2009, 07:48 PM

<flash forward>
Hugo: You promised not to panic, Lefty. Now you've woken the scarf and we're getting all tangled up because she's panicing too.
Lefty: But we're wet! And in a tumbledrier! We'll shrink and matt and... Hugo... I want to look at my postcards again...
Hugo: Don't worry. Look, howabout we undo the safety pin and I might be able to...
<minutes of frantic sock wiggling later>
Hugo: It would be hard enough if we were still, but with the movement, the heat and the humidity... I'm sorry, Lefty...

The only sound that can be heard for a few moments is teh noise of the tumble drier and the quiet sniffing of a sock.

Scarf: Mrrrfffsrrfff nidea...

zelda_pinwheel · 05-12-2009, 07:52 PM

hmm... the scarf has an idea... scarves are notably flighty but you never know...
