So I had a LOT of fun, won the peep noshing contest ($10 iTunes card!) and got all three of my bean bags in the bucket, netting me a nice little bag of candy... My costume didn't win though, I got beat by an AWESOME homemade granny costume. Totally glad the little girl won, she looked perfect.
Ok: peep noshing (marshmallow peeps Gracie, no fainting!). They had this rope tied to the celing, which was attached to a loop of bungee cord. You had to put the loop of bungee around your head and under your nose, and then stretch it forward to where a tasty little peep awaited you, hanging from a string.
Everyone else keep tilting their head back to get the peep and the bungee cord would go FWAP up into the celing. I watched em do it and figured out that you have to get so worked up that you keep your head down and just use brute strength to pull farther.
By my turn, I was frothing at the mouth a little, grabbed that bungee, and started for the peep...almost got it...
AND THE GUY GRABBED THE STRING AND HELD IT WHERE HE THOUGHT I COULDN'T REACH IT!
GRRRRRROOOOWRRRRRR!
I let out a feral roar and charged forward, holding the bungee with my nose, tore into the peep and bit it in half, then I bit the string and sucked it into my mouth till the other half of the peep was inside....nummy.
I got some funny looks afterwards from the girls, bows and groveling from the guys, but hey, you do what you have to!
The bean bag thing was easy, I play boche ball and cornhole, so I am used to putting things where I want them.
Found out that the 28th was the DEADLINE for the essay, so I won't know for a while yet whether I won or not....grrr *foams a little*
Pics of my Ren fest costume coming up...just need to get them off the camera.
Oh, and I have switched to Firefox now, thanks for the advice Bethany, you are right, I will never go back to IE again!

ReplyDeleteAny add on recommendations? I got the spellchecker and some themes, but not sure what would be useful other than that.
Oh, and the smooth scroll thing too, I like that.
Gracie.....I don't think faints can BE epic...... do your giggle, that works for everything:)
Oh, faints can BE epic. you just do not have the wisdom of the ages for epic faints.
ReplyDeleteI don't use IE either, and I hate despise and loathe Google Chrome. iI use Lolifox, a varient of Firefox for Otaku.

"So true. Once it's in your gloom will disappear, The bad in the world is hard to hear. When in your ear a banana cheers.
So go and put a banana in your ear. Put a banana in your ear"
"I'd rather keep my ear clear"
"You will never be happy, If you live your life in fear, It's true!"

ReplyDeleteAir bends a vacuum surrounding the players of the dying cats, thus stopping the sound
ReplyDeleteYou can't stop a bagpipe. Not with ninja magic. Not with Unicorns. Not with Top hats. Bagpipe beats everything. (except Chuck Norris, but he is my friend anyway so no worries there!)
ReplyDeleteRock paper scissors BAGPIPE!
sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
ReplyDeleteBagpipes beat all, that was established. That includes vacuum.
ReplyDeleteHow else do you think the English heard them?
not through a vacuum, i can assure you. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow do you know? Have you ever tried?
ReplyDeletetried what? playing the bagpipes? no, i have not played the devil's instrument. or are you asking whether i have listened through a vacuum. like that's possible...
ReplyDeleteDidn't say it was possibly, just asking if you have tried it, never know with someone as demented as you:)
ReplyDeleteActually I think the mouth harp is the instrument most associated with pagan rituals. Bagpipes are primarily Irish and Scottish, both of which are known for being either Protestant of Catholic.
