Hensonville City 2011

[The Count]

*Happy tired sigh. Finished fixing KG 124, posted some thoughts. Still waiting to hear back from Bo on that haunter question I submitted. Time to relax. Then I need to grab a temporary replacement towel and head off to the showers.
UD: I'll keep an eye out for the mail.
Thanks. *Drops dead on the couch.

Here is a Hensonville News Flash! Evil ninjas have attacked our town! The stealthy assassins might have gone unnoticed on their deadly missions if not for the vigilant efforts of our own Ellie! This valiant neighborhood watch chairperson, along with Ernie, Bert, and Susie, have managed to fight off the first wave of night-time attacks! But residents are urged to remain on alert until this threat is determined by our own Police Chief Link to be over! Please, stay indoors after dark, keep your Wii handy, and report any suspicious activity to the proper authorities! Ninjas are known to drop in unannounced, so everyone needs to --

*the Martians materialize right above Newsie, wearing black hoods and wielding macaroni nunchucks*
Pink: AWWWwww! Mn. Nin-ja. Yip. Yiiiip yip yip yip yip yip yip.
Blue: Awww, ninja. Yip yip yip uh-huh!

ACK! *struggles ineffectually under a mound of tentacles and flailing noodles* HAAAAALLLLPP!

Rhonda *shaking head* I think this is a perfect example of how videogames are ruining our culture.

Yep. Looks that way. *beat*
Wanna go play some Muppet Party Cruise?

Rhonda: You're on. I will kick your tail at the "Natural Disaster" minigame.

You always do...I can never beat that one...I'll grab the cheddar bunnies.

Rhonda: Kewl. Lemme get some iced tea. Be right there.

Blue: Aww, Sam-mo, awwww yip yip yip.
Pink: Mn, yip yip, entering dra-gon, yip yip yip yip yip.

Get OFF me, you freaks! Aaaagh! Where's Chuck Norris when I need him?!

*Two more Martians, one female orange and another fushia reddish materialize with pixy stick staffs, adding to the confusion.

Heh, guess he's gone from a Newsman to a Pacman.
Hope they don't make Kris have to brake out the everlasting octogum of doom.

I just bought a Temple of Doom, actually -- a used entertainment center. Massive heavy ugly three-piece thing. I plan to sacrifice to the Muppet gods upon it. Volunteers?

Rhonda: YOU have had waaay too much sugar today.

*thwapping a Martian with his mic and being thwapped by Pixysticks in return* Ungh! Little HELP here?

Rhonda: Sorry, sunshine. I don't do ninja rescues without some form of adequate compensation.

Argh! OWW! Er...I'll give you the pumpkin scone I was saving?

Rhonda*twitching whiskers* Does it have icing?

*THUNK* *BIFF* *UNINTENTIONAL SNORFLE* Aggh! Yes! Yes it has icing!

Rhonda: Well, all right then... *shoots off loud air horn*

*the Martians all freeze*

Rhonda: ALLLLL right you jellyfish freaks! Lay off! Go bug the guys in Apt 1 or something!

Blue: Awww...a-part-ment?
Pink: One! Mn. One. Yip. Yip yip yip.
*they wriggle from side to side and vanish*

Thank you... *gives Kris hurt look* You could have helped!

I don't do hentai. Not into tentacles. You okay?

*grumpily* Fine.

I am, however, into felt...

It isn't as though you're not taller than them---WHAT?

Rhonda: This looks like a good time to enjoy that scone by the pool. Seeya.

*Fails to notice where Newsie was in those promotions. Must have been one of the pics on the page.
* delights in counting Martians, or are they Zips from the planet Zap? (Obscure Sesame video game reference).
*Deadly sips a cup of black tea, finding it more calming than his usual green fog brand, reading through a piece of fic manuscript.

Kelly (dances around her house with a staff)

Cotterpin (sighs): We're never going to stop hearing about this.

Wrench: Why is she wearing a black poncho and some horns?

Cotterpin (shows him the spill's website ): As it turns out, that Maleficient thing has real horns under that hat and she can fly. It got Kelly all excited.

Kelly (sings): I saw my Hades, crying hard as Hades cries. What could I do-o-o? My baby's hate was gone ... it left my baby blue-ue-ue.

Cotterpin: He's always blue!

Kelly (sings): What kind of magic spell to use? Dogs and mice, make everything nice, but Gaston had beer, so baby said ... "We're outta here!"

 

[The Count]

Dance Hades dance?
UD: Well, I don't know about his lordship, but the boss is partial to the old Skeleton Dance.
The Transylwania Polka or the Batty Bat's more my kind of speed.
*Is happy for the upcoming movies, less than a month for TDKR.

 

[The Count]

Thankful the electricity came back. Another typical stormy, muggy, summer day.
*Waiting for the delivery monster to get through traffic so we can put groceries away and have some big burgers for late lunch/dinner.

Kelly (exhausted after taking the kiddies to the vet for their vaccinations): 'Pin? What's my itinerary tomorrow?

Cotterpin (designing buildings on the laptop): Uh, you wanted to install the other bathroom faucet ....

Kelly (shakes head): No, takes too long ... especially the way I do it.

Cotterpin: Beat Silent Hill 3 HD.

Kelly: God DANG, that collection is awful. Whoever felt the need to butcher that needs to be smacked around by Valtiel. They were NOT overacted! They're PSYCHOTIC! You're SUPPOSED to sound freaky!

Cotterpin: -_- Uh, yeah ... Anyway, you could wrap up Writer's Block.

Kelly (idea bulb): Now there's a plan ....

HooHah for writing! Go for it Kelly! I will myself, later tonight, finally...

Rhonda: You oughta do SOMETHING tonight. You slept all day.

You cannot shame me. I am on vacation!

What are you writing, anyway? You're on the laptop for hours at a time.

Ummmm...just a thing.

A thing?

A thing.

All right...is it bigger than a breadbox?

Rhonda: Why am I not surprised you remember what a breadbox looks like?

*scowl* Are you calling me old?

Newsie...think of yourself as a, um, "classic" Muppet. Like Rowlf. Or Kermit.

*yelling* I AM NOT AS OLD AS ROWLF OR KERMIT!
