Hounding After Hours

TED!!!



I chased everyone away.

At first, I thought i smelled then sniffed my arm pits and that is not the case.

Ok, so tonight I've been coming up with the latest Branch Tedian holiday and while I can't really post it here, (maybe in the humpNgrunt) I have to say it is some great fun.

Um, white text it?

Or PM it?

Or rep it?

'Cause frankly the suspense is going to drive me nuts.

You've never met a sexy wolf, have you? They'll seduce you when you least expect it! And a fox? You don't have the will-power to say "no".

Maybe if we found you a cute sheep....

A sheep with a drivers licenses and numb-chucks

Ted can pretty much work furries into anything, Boston. You should really just expect it by now.

Ok, well, the ninja weapons may have been a bit of an exaggeration.

Also, I have to work tomorrow, so I really couldn't drive up right now.

But I have the weekend free.

I should, shouldn't I have.



You don't think the Branch Tedian holiday involves those, do you? Because if so, I may have to retract the whole "dying to know" thing.

I do, yes.

Well, dammit, a little heads-up warning before I went and gave him suggestions as to how to tell us all about it would have been nice.

Sheesh, Soapy.

I was once hit on by a drunken bear. Well, a dude in a bear costume on The Strip on Halloween, but still. It was both charming and chilling and I won't soon forget it.

I, um...sorry. I'll let myself out.

Sorry?


*refreshes pm box*

I got nothin yet, btw. Maybe you're safe.

Isn't that like a rite of passage on the Strip at Halloween, though?

I mean, it seems like it should be anyway.

Huh. You know, I can see how it might be.

Was he a cutesy cartoon bear? Or the ferocious kind?

FOTSGreg said:

Bos, I see... I guess my time here's nearing its end if that's how everyone feels.

I'll see y'all later, maybe.

Oh for pity's sake, man. If I'd known you were going to take it so deeply personal, I wouldn't have said anything.



This is not a cause to flounce. Yes, crazy uncle, but an amusing crazy uncle, and you bring a certain something to the thread that it would otherwise lack. A certain flair, if you will.

I was simply not inclined to let the whole pot/kettle thing slide. You've known me for years, Greg. I'm blunt, I'm direct, and I say what's on my mind without much recourse to tact.

I was not trying to chase you off, by any means.

ok?


I'd offer to bury the hatchet, but I don't trust you with sharp implements.



(And seriously, the sushi was tongue in cheek.)

Boston- There are so many rites of passages there, all disturbing on some level. My fave was the Zombie Walk last October, though. We walked the Strip all done up, and I was a slot jockey tourist zombie complete with bloody visor and fanny pack.

Soap- Not cutesy, but not really ferocious either? Kinda patchy, like it was stuffed in a fraternity closet for years and years. Ah well, I do attract the classy ones! *sobs quietly*

Not to butt in on anything, but I'm already awfully fond of the horror board here and hope everyone is planning on sticking around for the forseeable future...

Seriously, Greg?

Is this just a you can dish it out but can't take it thing? You're taking this way more personally than I did, or than I meant it to be.

I honestly thought you were made of sterner stuff.

TedTheewen said:

I have some candy in the van, in case you need some. And I have puppies in my basement now!

Is that what it takes for you to say hello to me?
A visit to your basement?

Cause, your gonna have to do better than....ooo...candy in a van!!

Is it a windowless van??

Oh come now, Debbie, surely you aren't going to fall for that, too??

I thought you knew better.

A 'Sara Lee' truck, Sunchips, Doritoes - potato/potahto.

but...there's gummy bears

Well hello PD.

Oh, fine, go on, get in Ted's van.

I wash my hands of the whole thing.


(Also, with nothing more than a little saliva, we stuck a gummy bear to a poster in my freshman year homeroom class. Stayed there for three months. But by all means, eat up.)

And I should get to bed, I think.

Night Hounds

About ready to call it a night also.

G'night Bos.

Most of my research is being done through a professor at the university that is very, very well versed in predator behaviors, and somewhat tolerant of me beside. Albeit they have a heavy focus in bear, wolf, and more "Alaskan" predators. I also have taken courses on predator behavior and am required to have an update in the subject every year in order to keep my job, which requires I work in the wilderness of Alaska, where large predators are not exactly uncommon. It is fiction, but I am doing quite a bit of proper research, not just watching Discovery Channel and Animal Planet and looking things up on Wikipedia.

A certain amount of anthropomorphizing is required in fiction - but in this case only to the extent where "for whatever reason, this animal is batshit and not behaving like others of it's species typically do" is anthropomorphizing.

I'm tired, but I think I'll stand by that in the morning. One of the perks of working closely with a very prestigious professor is, his equally notable friends are willing to fact check for you.

Moving on to more interesting topics, my mom is convinced our house is haunted, now that she's been home during the day alone (she's ill, and on bed rest).

Good morning guys.
