Hidey Thread 489: What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs by daveshayne

The natural habitat of flamingos seem to be front lawns. Perhaps they have a symbiotic relationship with Garden Gnomes.

Lawn flamingos are really ninja house protecters in disguise.

Not that I recall but I bet that if you feed parakeets a diet high in whatever kind of shrimp the flamingos eat they would turn red too. This is an experiment that must be performed! I'll need a grant proposal, several pots of coffee, and three grad assistants.

Reminds me of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:
Mrs. Gloop: Where is my son? Where does that pipe go to?
Willy: THAT pipe just so happens to lead directly to the room where I make the most delicious kind of strawberry flavored chocolate coated fudge!
Mrs. Gloop: Then he will be made into strawberry flavored chocolate coated fudge. They'll be selling him by the pound all over the world?
Willy: No. I wouldn't allow it. The taste would be terrible. Can you imagine Augustus flavored chocolated coated Gloop? Ew! No one would buy it.

It's sunday evening. I have, by choice, no plans - nothing I need to do. Consequently I am just a trifle bored. Anything exciting going on around here tonight? I thought about letting all of the budgies out of their cages but somebody would wind up having to clean up the feathers which strikes me as being a bit of a drag. Maybe we could race badgeloons?

I think that everybody is busy getting ready for fall and/or DragonCon. Things should pick up a bit after Labor day. Meantime I'm very tired but I must stay awake for at least twenty more minutes to avoid failing at a minor annoyance. I'd be giddy if I had any energy at all. Turns out there really is a spoon but the fork is a figment of the matrix. Weird huh?

Huh. Wonder if I can spin one of Amdobell's epics into a one camera lesbian porn fantasy digital release movie? Hmmm... change Mal to Sal, Wash to, um, Gash(?). Simon can stay Simon, he's a lesbian trapped in a man's body, or anyway that's what this working script calls for. & so forth.

*ponders inevitable litigation for cutting daveshayne out of executive production credit*

It's not about cynically ripping off other peeps' works, it's borrowing tropes. And devoting half the budget to the legal team, cuz litigation can be fun, especially in light of the subject being lesbian porn.

And so the great DC slowdown has begun. A time of quiet as the thread lies deserted by those flocking to Atlanta.

In these corridors are echoes of times past and visions of things yet to be intermingling with the fevered dreams of senile seers muttering toothlessly in languages dead before the dawn of history about planetfalls and peonies bedecking the floors of the universe.

A breeze blows a piece of old newsprint across the desolate plain.
