[8:14
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
recall a dream where I found some kind of uhh, mythical creature in
my bedroom and I tried calling you to see how to get rid of it.
It
was like a sprite or nymph or something
[8:14
AM]
Oh
yes?
We
manage it?
[8:16
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
think I woke up before I got a hold of you
[8:16
AM]
BTW,
its Iron for the one
And
propose marriage to the other
You
know...just in case it comes up
Though
with your penchant for elfin women, maybe hold off on the abjuration
effort for a couple weeks and...you know...see how it goes.
[8:18
AM] Mr. Blue:
It
was like a little dragon/lizard looking thing
[8:19
AM]
That's
decidedly not a nymph.
A
sprite might pull that look though.
Nymphs
are the va va voom! of the spirit realms.
As
long as you don't get one that wants to drown/eat you, you're "fine".
But
yeah, the general impression on nymph mythology is that everything is
cool unless the guy wants more than a fling.
Then
the nymph tend to run for it and get themselves changed into trees
and springs and grottoes and echos and spiders and stuff...depending
what god/goddess is involved.
(Having
fun yet? You picked folklore. Hehe.)
[8:32
AM] Mr. Blue:
It
was also being followeda round by a little thing with wings
[8:34
AM]
Little
person thing or little who knows thing?
Regardless...
In
your case: iron for fairies.
If
they laugh that off, salt or (assuming you can get it) untarnished
silver for evil entities
Hehe...every
time I look at "it was also being followeda round by a little
thing with wings" I see "a round thing with wings"
Morning
Mr. Brown
[8:49
AM] Mr. Brown:
Mr.
Blue, that is strange.
I
kept having a goblin/troll/brownie mixed-type creature on Wednesday
in my dreams.
It
would not go away.
I
kept fighting it and trying to get rid of it
I
ended up in some bedroom as well.
[8:49
AM] Mr. Blue:
The
dream started with a snake in my bedroom. But it was already dead.
It had tried to eat itself and died.
Then
it wasn't dead... it came alive.. and became a lizard.
I
tried to catch and/or kill it but it kept disappearing.
Then
it started flying around and was even appearing when I was walking
around (some) city.
So
I tried texting Mr. Silver to see what to do.
[8:51
AM] Mr. Brown:
That's
what was messing with me.
[8:52
AM] Mr. Blue:
Yikes
[8:52
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
knew it was a dream, but I was still trying to get rid of it.
[9:02
AM]
Mr.
Blue's was a sprite or pixie type by that description.
Everything
sounds small – pixie.
Mr.
Brown's? Not sure yet.
[9:02
AM] Mr. Blue:
Goblin
maybe, or just a troll.
[9:03
AM]
Depends
what it was doing to hassle him
[9:03
AM] Mr. Brown:
It
kept showing up, try to grab me. And I would fight it off.
It
would be gone.
I'd
go somewhere else...there it is again.
And
I would try to fight it away again to get rid of it
I
rarely have to deal with any cool nice creatures in my dreams
[9:05
AM]
So
it just showed up to hassle you over and over?
It's
a Boggart, probably. Brownie gone bad.
Hairy
and ugly when you see them. They help out around the house
unless you make them mad. Then they'll mess with you for
years/generations.
[9:08
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
wonder what I did to make him mad
[9:09
AM]
Well
it WAS “a dream”...
(said
the shaman, with a wink)
[9:14
AM] Mr. Brown:
Wow
that is very nice. Human-shaped ones are worse. lol
Explains
the whole “nightmare” feeling.
[9:14
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
use to have Bed shakings in my childhood home. I would wake up and
my bed was shaking
It
was a wood frame bed, flush on the floor.
Not
normal or easy for it to shake.
I
ended up saying “Stop it”. Then it stopped.
So
I don't know if something was there doing it, or if it was me in my
half-awake stupor shaking my own bed with telekinesis
[9:16
AM]
Hehe...I
ever tell my shaking bed story from college?
Probably.
Bunk
beds.
I
was top bunk.
At
night - if my roommate was out - something would start shaking the
bed...just a bit.
I
eventually figured out the frame would start resonating with my
heartbeat if I laid still long enough and there wasn't a
counter-measure...IE my roommate in the bottom bunk.
[1:28
PM] Mr. Brown:
[2:52
PM]
Tai
Chi “fight”...
Looks
like all the guy did was overrun him.
Fought
like a total slob - charged and windmilled til the master tripped.
Shame
Still...a
valid garbage “technique”
I've
been both beaten and “beaten” by it.
I
was a fair to good fencer in the SCA, but if a fellow does that to
you, if you don't hit him on the first thrust its basically over and
you're on the ground...
That
is, if they don't ignore the first thrust anyway...which a goon/cheat
fighter tends to do. Which is easy to get away with in an honor system since he wasn't actually impaled, groaning
in agony pouring out blood, and critically wounded like he should be.
I conspicuously "lost" to all three reigning kingdom champions - whom I definitely killed - within the span of month or less and never fenced again.
[3:16
PM] Mr. Blue:
MMA
is dumb
Especially
when you just sit on top of someone pummeling them
A
bit gay too
[3:17
PM]
Yup
The
most telling assessment of MMA by non-goons is "Men don't
fight on the ground."
[3:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
Almost
every other combat sport - even the ancient ones - have resets if you
get someone down like that.
You
get a point but your opponent gets to get back up and re-start
MMA
is like.. gorilla rules fighting.
[3:18
PM] Mr. Silver
Guerrilla
or gorilla?
[3:19
PM] Mr. Blue:
Gorilla
Why
not just allow biting and hair pulling?
[3:19
PM]
Yes
Any
reasonable combat situation that isn't one on one: if you end up on
the ground, you're basically killed by the guys who aren't.
[3:21
PM] Mr. Blue:
True
[3:21
PM]
There
are some styles that learn it as a realistic attack/defense.
But
if the sides have friends? (waves bye bye)
Note
in the given film that if any of the – oh – hundred guys watching
wanted to intervene, the goon was just dead.
[11:45
AM]
LOL
“Replace
POS do to water damage.”
We
just replaced the router 5/2, “do to water damage”.
Who
is the client, you ask?
PONDSCAPING
[11:46
AM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
[11:46
AM]
"Sir,
we'd like to request you stop trying to set up your equipment in the
ponds."
[11:50
AM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah
really. Where do they have it that it keeps getting hit with water?
I
mean... put a bag over it or something
[11:54
AM] Mr. Blue:
Just
charge him.
“Now
the guy's got Paulie as a partner. Cat peed on it? F*ck you, pay
me. Spilt milk? F*ck you, pay me. You had a flood?
F*ck you, pay me.”
And
then...When there's nothing left... You flood the joint out. You
disconnect at the tap.”
[11:55
AM]
(I
was waiting to see how you'd finish that one.)
"For
as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a Floodfella"
"What
is that? What is that? A new pool? I told you,
don't buy anything big."
"Yeah,
but it's on my mother's tap."
"Take
it back."
"But
it's on my mother's tap. It's OK."
[12:02
PM] Mr. Blue:
"This
kid used to restore water damage so well it was like brand new."
"I
don't do water damage restoration no more Billy."
"What?"
"I
said... you been away a long time... maybe you didn't hear. I don't
do water damage restoration no more."
"Hey,
why are you gettin' fresh over here? I'm just bustin your
balls, Tommy, geeze... This freakin' kid, can you believe him?
I'm only joking.......... Now go home and get your fuckin' wet vac."
“One
day I came home and the neighborhood kids had dug my mom some French
drains. You know why? It was outta respect."
[12:11
PM]
"Hey!
Hey! Henry. Here's a U-Bend!"
"Very
funny guys."
"Here's
a faucet!"
"Here's
a French drain!"
"Hey,
what do you like, the faucet or the French drain, Henry?"
[12:13
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Hey,
you got a phone? Two plumbers just stole my truck. You believe
that?"
[12:16
PM]
(snerk)
"And
then there was Jimmy Two Pipes. He was called that because he ran
every pipe two times."
"I'm
gonna run the copper, and some copper"
[12:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[12:19
PM] Mr. Brown:
"Leaky
Pipe Johnny...well...we won't say why he got his name"
"
Hey Leaky! How's it hanging?” HA HA HA HA "
[12:45
PM]
"Uh, Yeah Ma. We
hit a sewer pipe and its end...What do you call it? The end."
"The
cleanout plug"
"It
got caught in the water main. I got to hack it off. We
couldn't leave it, Ma, it's a sin."
[12:55
PM] Mr. Blue
"When
they found Carbone in the cistern he was so waterlogged it took them
three days to drain him out for the autopsy."
[1:28
PM]
"You
like bath fixtures, Karen?”
"Yeah...yeah
Jimmy, I like fixtures."
"Tell
you what. I've got all kinds of extra fixtures - MOEN, Kohler,
Delta, American Standard. They're right down there. Go
get yourself some shwag fixtures."
"Right
down there, Jimmy?"
"Right
down there."
(And
with that I'm done because I can't think of anything for "funny
guy")
Oh...one
more
"Why
you always bustin' my ballcocks?"
