*Bursts in surrounded by Uruks, then starts driving them out again*

Sorry about letting those Uruks in, they were following me.

I don't have time to read up on anything now, sorry.

Tell me about it.

Looks like Hiril will be prepared for MoME anyways.

I guess me and...and... who did I pick? Faramir? Looks like we'll be flying by the seat of our pants.

:D:D:D

Again.

by **Dubatuluk** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 4:03 pm

seat of the pants flying is the best way to fly. *nod*

Hey all.

Tiiiiiired. SOOO tired.

Anyway, I'm house sitting for my aunt and great aunt as the whole family is gone to Disneyland for a week and apparently my behavior looked suspicious so the neighbors called the police on me yesterday. :roll:

Not as exciting as it sounds though because I heard about it forth hand. It just goes to show that I am still the family mushroom. I'm always in the dark, even when I'm suspected of being a robber. :lol:

by **notlistening** » Tue Sep 21, 2010 4:12 pm

Aww, Dubs, that's no fun. It's nice the neighbours are attentive but no fun to have cops turn up at the door.

I got pulled over for a breath test on the wya home from the snow on sunday. Of all the peeps in the world to pull over, I'd be one of the last to take a drink. Ewww... :roll:

Looks like we'll be flying by the seat of our pants.

Aren't we always at MOME???

Hey, did someone warn Hiril about the inevitable food fights??

Hi Wenchie, glad Ali is here and safe.

by **IrisBrandybuck** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 4:46 am

Shhh, don't scare her off!

So, tell us, why, exactly, did they pick you to pull over for a breath test, hmmm?

They heard about MoME, didn't they?

by **Calma** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 5:23 am

Good Heavens to Betsy... :roll:

It's only Wednesday.
It feels like it should be Thursday of next week.
Man, those inspectors can't leave too soon.
The stress has been just.... well, just..

One more day.
Just one more day....

Have a good one, people.
Later......

by **Tookish_Traveler** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:03 am

The Inspectors...

....or is that Corporate???

:lmbo:

by **Lebasi** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 9:30 am

Hiril told me about the food fights, so she does know. She wasn't at all daunted by the idea...

My brain's abandoned me, I've forgotten what I was saying if I was saying anything that is...

Anyway, I got a new sewing machine yesterday. :yippie:

Randomnessssss is my guess. And shhhh...MOME is a sekrit! :wink:

nl was probably driving on the wrong side of the road....

:D:D:D

by **Hiril Elfwraith** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 5:17 pm

Hee hee. I've read most of the past MoME contests. Wouldn't dare otherwise.

So yes, I know what's coming. I've picked out my and the Witch-King's outfits accordingly. Black doesn't stain.

Dubs, it's because you're an orc. The orcs always get picked on. *pats Dubs' head* There, there.

NL: You were too awesome. They decided that people can't be this awesome normally, so you had to be drunk. Or something. :roll:

I dunno, I was always kind of weird at offering condolences.

Psst. Have you guys met Edith? She's the kitten-eyed Fell Beast I, um...appropriated from a Sue wandering through Minas Morgul looking for Frodo. As though we'd still be stuck in the third age--honestly! Everyone knows that everyone is on good terms with Hobbits now, because Hobbits are awesome.

Um Yeah. Anyways... :roll:

Well, come to find out that the inspectors will be here all week...
Sweet Mother of Mercy.
What have I done to deserve this?

Oh, ah, Tooks, that would be corporate, not the inspectors. :wink:

I'll pass on MoME again.
But I'll read it.
Got to see how the new kid holds up. :wink:

Lebasi, cool on your new sewing machine.

We've been bitter enemies ever since.

Is it Friday yet?

a girl fell beast? :shock:

sniff Oh, what large teeth you have! I mean white sparkly teeth, I know you probably hear this all the time from your food but you must bleach or something, 'cause that's one dazzling smile you got there and do I detect a hint of minty freshness? :wink:

by **Edith the Fell Beast** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 6:26 pm

Oooh, hel-LO handsome!

It's spontaneous, to be honest. I was property of a Sue once. *shudders* That's why I have these ridiculous blue eyes, not gorgeous black ones like yours...

And those claws! I envy those claws! So sharp and black...

by **truehobbit** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 7:45 pm

from beautiful, sunny New England!

Just wanted to let Wenchie know we're going to Vermont (

) now rather than the Adirondacks. Would've been lovely to meet you, but hopefully some other time. :hug:

Though, if you happen to be in Boston at some point you could just let me know - except we'll be away Sunday and Monday and Tuesday to Thursday, though, so pretty much all the second week of our holidays. I guess that's too short to plan something.

I'll try to keep checking the boards the next couple of days nevertheless, though.

Hope you're all being good!

by **notlistening** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:12 pm

Yah for TH being in New England. Are the leaves changing colour yet?

by **Hiril Elfwraith** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:24 pm

A little. It's a bit unusual that they're this late--normally they change around mid-August. :roll:

Hmm, but the mountains are getting slightly dyed with a color other than green, which is nice....

VT, you say? *peers across state line* Hmm...

Vermont is probably my favorite place. Enjoy!

Hiril! Yes...you're probably right. My once Elvish appearance isn't what it used to be.

(Character was one of the first orcs ever made.)

Okay. I know what I'm buying EVERYONE for Christmas this year.

by **IrisBrandybuck** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 7:39 am

Dubs, I LOVE them!

I think I'm going to buy everyone a set too...even the people who don't get LOTR.

by **Tookish_Traveler** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 8:59 am

Those are adorable, Dubs. And I don't say that about many things.

:D:D

I thought that pic might actually be Corporate, Calma. Looks sorta like ours too.... :lmbo:

Ooooo. 2 fell-beasties? The plot thickens!

hobby is in Vermont? Ah...sounds loverly.

by **Storyteller** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 1:14 pm

Oh my. A fell-beasts invasion!

*Seeks cover*

by **Calma** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 3:39 pm

*runs in screaming.....*

AAAGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!1111oneoneone

Sweet Mother of Mercy.
They'll be back tomorrow.

help me...

by **notlistening** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:31 pm

Calma, I think you need to take the fell beasts with you to work tomorrow. I'm sure they can scare the jeepers out of those interlopers with one grin...also I think their drool is toxic. :wink:

Yah, it's friday. I'm glad to have a weekend where I'm not doing much. I love to ski, but it's exhausting as one gets older. So I think I'll sleep in, go do some shopping and see the Sorcerer's Apprentice in teh afternoon.

The plushies are so cute! Not sure what I'd actually do with them and Louie may not like another stuffed toy taking his limelight... :roll:

by **Tookish_Traveler** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:49 pm

Hmmmmm... Calma needs our help.
Looks like a job for...... the TVM crew!!!!!

Louie! Fire up the engine! I'll adjust the transbolic coil. We're heading to the Pacific NW!

:horse:

Ok. Where the phillips screwdriver?

by **fell_beast** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:53 pm

here Tooks, let me use my talon to tighten up that...thingy.

we're coming to aid you, dear Calma!!!

by **Gamgee Wench** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 7:30 pm

Wow...beasts and she-beasts have invaded the thread!

Truehobbit!!! :hug:

I've been meaning to email you! So you are not heading up this way? Bummer. But Vermont is a beautiful and closer choice. My heart is just in the Adirondacks...my favorite mountains. I would so love to just head out to Boston, and normally I could, but the next three weeks are super busy. I really don't see a clear day to do it....unless something lets up. These kids I've had complicate everything.

I'm so sorry it doesn't seem like we will meet.

Monday next week my oldest son is having his wisdom teeth out then I need to drive him round trip back to college...up almost to the Canadian border....then the next three days I need to get a big contract out for work. Between the construction firms, the lawyers and the State agencies, I'm about ready to pull my hair out there. But I will win! After that I need to knuckle down and get ready for this party for my newly married friends, which is coming up in two weeks. After we planned the menu and ordered the wonderful cake, I have not done another thing to prepare.

And....well, life is just busy. And I'm still getting vegi's from the garden and I just made wonderful raspberry struedel muffins! Tried out a new recipe and it's great. I've got raspberries ripening everywhere and I have to do something with them.....other than just freeze them. And.....I'm babysitting the neighbors pumpkins/turkeys/chickens/dog/cats (thought I lost a cat today but found it) for a few days.....fun but makes for crazy mornings and nights. And those turkeys STINK!!! Blech.

OK....I'm done! Hope everyone has a nice evening/morning/day. And Calma...hope work goes better.

by **notlistening** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 7:40 pm

I just made wonderful raspberry struedel muffins!

YUM!! I'll be right there. And for something fun to do with raspberries, coat them in dark chocolate. There's delish!! :love:

Sorry you won't get to see TH though.

*collapses*

Well, MoME is well underway (the WiKi will soon be making his appearance), Edith has adopted "Are we there yet?" and I'm very very tired.

Well, I still am tired. At least I was until I did my math. Now I'm wide awake. That's not good, because then I'll be dead tired tomorrow. But I can't help it that I'm a night person!

Doesn't help that we're going to have to leave for school half an hour early, at 6:50!! I hate getting up early. I'm definitely wearing my glasses. No time to play around with contactses, precious!

That aside, I'll still probably end up walking, but I dread having to get up and then walk a mile to school. Given the nature of my life, it'll probably be raining too. *sigh*

During the time when I was supposed to be animated, my brainwaves were flatlining, and now when they're supposed to be cooling down, they're wide awake. :roll:

Go figure. The only time I'm not tired is when I need to go to sleep.

I've also discovered that glassy-eyed, unfocused, unblinking stares are all well and good with glasses, but it's not the wisest of ideas with contacts, especially toric contacts (I have an astigmatism).

I'm going to need more eye drops soon.
