[The Count]

* loads up the awful unbakeable Arbuckle doughballs.
*Uncle D lights the fuse, which has to be set on a rapid-fire trigger.
*Ed kills off all the replicating spamturds from one account that decided today would be a brilliant day to attempt an attack.
counts how many have been eliminated so far, trying to keep up with the other new members at MC.

Do not bring your evil into our forums!

 

[The Count]

*Reads through the message from Kathy, sends her hugs and good thoughts.

*smells something in the oven: hey, what that?
Is der dünüts with nummy nummy fruits.
Ed: So that explains the shot from the blunderbus heard earlier.

*Chef just blasts straight through a big lump of dough to get the holes in them.
Ah-ha! A baker's dozen, vonderful.
Wha?
That means you made thirteen doughnouts.
Uncle D: Mmm, 13, such a wonderfully unlucky number.
I thought "dozen" meant 12.
Yes, but in old medieval times, the baker ended up with enough of a last bit of dough after the first twelve... So that bit got used to make a thirteenth pastry, calling the group a baker's dozen.

Ed: And they say public education's dead these days.
*Orders some Day-O banana pepper meals from that place and Gina usually go to for dinner.

 

[The Count]

*Hopes Robin is doing okay while staying with his Uncle Kermit and two aunts until Kathy's able to come back.

UD: Ed? What are you doing up at this deathly hour?
Me: Dinner was unfortunately late tonight, very late.
UD: Mmm, one of your shifts then.
Me: Yep. An acursed ritual I have observed and will have to continue to observe since that operation back in 2001 just before I started law school.
UD: So how are you whittling down the battle against the clock?
Me: Meh, just going through forum posts, maybe hoping a fic will be updated, the usual.
UD: And your brother's grand graduation party's tomorrow, fright?
Me: Already today my fiend, but yes, and Mom's gone all out with the preparations, pulling or pooling her littany of resources into service.
UD: Well, hope you're able to rest in peace later.
*The phantomly dragon skulks off to chat with the townhouse's ghosts, if he finds any on his rare work brake.

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly (plays Ni No Kuni to an absurd degree): I love this game.

 

[The Count]

* chows down on a bowl of cereal with some dried fruits.
* is at Nelson's Car Repairs getting the Countmobile fixed and inspected to make the trip next week to one of his cousins' weddings.
* reads through a couple of cookbooks after Ed put away all the clean flatware and glassware and silverware in the kitchen.
*Fatatita and Gaffer are playing tag inside the patio.
*Prairie keeps somewhat of a watch over the cats while she's got her jester and King of Eight dolls/figures, smiling at having a real dragon (Uncle D) to storm the castle.
UD: Yes, well, storm is fright, but should it be snowing? *Laughs at the reference/joke.

Hey Kelly. Have you ever played Oogie's Revenge?

 

[RedPiggy]

Kelly: Nah, Ed. The closest thing I've come to for a Nightmare Before Christmas game is Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2.

 

[The Count]

Sorry I didn't reply earlier... Stupid phone company saying I had an overdue balance to be paid.

Actually, Oogie's Revenge is available for Playstation 2, it's The Pumpkin King that's harder/more obscure to get.

 

[The Count]

After the police officer with the drill gets traffic to stop, Cookie and Grover and Rosita and Herry cross the street to get to the playground t Hensonville Park to play until it's time for lunch.

*Happy sigh.
Is that because you finally learned my Halloween Town cousins' names?
Not just that buddy, but the Tim Burton World contingent of characters is once again better organized. Now just need some descript help to keep working on the ones I've tapped for the current 401-500 square, but there's time for that later.

*Kicks back to listen to MCR during the rest of the morning.

 

[Katzi428]

*Dropping a note to the scare crew etc:
Hi all!

Love & hugs
Kathy /your human mom, Robin)
PS.. someone want to plant that green face with a WHOLE bunch of kisses for me please!(you KNOW which green face I mean!)

 

[The Count]

Huh? Maybe she means Apt 2.
*Crumples up the note, tossing it into the wastebasket, then moves on to put the kitchen stuff away.

* is down at the Bat, Bolt & Skull filling in for one of our waiters since he has such experience at Charlie's and O'Brien's.
Prairie's at the library reading a story of hers while Rosita's on the computer chatting with her online penpal Lola.
* washes up the dishes after lunch, after Ed removes the previous load.
