I jingled all the way →[More:]
She didn't mean to make me, but the gift of large reindeer bells around a couple packs of smokes was, immediately to my eyes, not a good idea.
Walking a block and a half in a big fat flaked snowfall was peaceful, and somewhat romantic, until the traffic picked up and the bells--
oh, the bells
headlights pointed right at your eyes
can you say attractive nuisance?

Cutting to the end, yes, i jingled all the way and i think i'm a bit holidazical for it.

slappy quonsakkah and a happy new tear

meanwhile, iconomy and i are putting our evil genius minds together for a not so hostile take over of an island nation.
any suggestions?

Bainbridge Island already has ferry service. Convenient to downtown and everything. The commute would be a snap. Here's a map.

Personally, though, I prefer Orcas. It's not as convenient, but it's twice as pretty.

I got dumped on Orcas Island once. Take it over.

the irc kids made me spill my perfectly mixed April Fresh

and everything was so perfect
*sighs wet sigh*
*over it*

oddly, i considered bainbridge.

and i may be feeling maudlin, but the seems nothing as restorative as hanging out with kingergarten aged kids even if, if not especially, when you're not at your best.

i prefer four year olds, really, as they are like silly putty and will melt on you like you are just so much padding.

crap. see, now i fell the creep of festivoustivities.
this is why i like lunar new year.

Plenty of kids on orcas, eth. We'll start with a two-pronged attack. Group A will invade Eastsound, while Group B seizes Rosario. Headquarters will be established in the hot tub. We strike at dawn.

Any questions?

can it be a jacuzzi?

it looks promising.
i need more maps.
and research.
and a map room and techno lair
or much in the way of liquid lubricant currency.

some sly timed immigraton and we may find a way

*musing*
*stroking non existent beard*

Research? You got it.
An overview.
Flight times.
Recon.
Sorry, no jacuzzi as such, but there is a whirlpool.

Maps coming up.

but i insist on a solid state of sobriety before i make any promises.

Maps 1,2,3.

Also, more recon. Somebody will have to take over the ferries, too.

And, if things don't go as planned, Canada isn't that far away.

Awaiting your orders, Cap'n eth. Arrr.
