In the basement of this building, there is a conference room. It is a nice conference room, with a large table and comfy chairs, and, most importantly, it does not seem to be home to any interdimensional or otherwise occulted beasties with tentacles, gaping maws, no particular sort of face, etc. I appreciate that.

But next to it, there is a bathroom. It is a three-stall bathroom painted a pinkish shade of putty. It is unassuming, and should be unalarming. And yet. Every time I go in the bathroom, I am moved to investigate all three stalls before doing my business, to make sure there are no masked killers, deranged monkeys, or unstable clowns with sharp implements hidden within. It's just the atmosphere of the place.

So today, I go in, I check the stalls, I take a piss, all seems well. And then, I look down at my feet. To the right of my right foot, there is an ashy smear. It is about an inch and a half long, and sort of cigar-shaped, with approximately seven bazillion little smearlets coming off of it like legs. It looks like someone has toasted a house centipede (that's a Five-Bugs-Fucking Bug in our house, for those who are keeping track). In fact, at first I thought it was a centipede, and the idea that I had dropped trou next to one of those Atomic Mutants was untenable. But no, just a smear. A sort of ... tentacled smear.

It was then that I began to think of jackbabalon23, and his recent story about Adam Last vs. The Greasy Spot On The Wall. Not good. What to do? I briefly considered scooping it off the floor and feeding it to the philodendron in my office. Could be interesting, but might be Bad. I settled for dropping a seal on top of it, followed by a liberal amount of tapwater. Ick, I say. Ick.

Completely unrelated, but...

Did we ever decide if we're going to Parade as a group, and if so, as what? Just wanted to check, because the registration deadline is August 1, and if we're responsible for signing ourselves up, I want to go ahead and get mine in, but if you allready signed us up, you are a God, and I &hearts you.

Done. We will be marching as pirates.

You = teh awesome. I worship at your feet, oh Lovely and Powerful God of the Details.

Hey, yeah. ..

[wildnsquirrelly.livejournal.com]

are we going to parade about with other geeks and assorted fandom associates, or will I end up parading about on my lonesome at 3 am?

possibly naked

Re: Hey, yeah. ..

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

We are officially in the parade, but if you feel compelled to parade at 3 a.m. I will probably not stand in your way. Unless you are naked. In that case I will more than likely be standing in your way, in a misguided effort to cop a feel. Also, I will not be the only one.

Re: Hey, yeah. ..

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

Not the only one by a long shot.

Plus, that there is motivation to have the camera on my person at all times.

Plus, you know, to keep him from getting caught, and kicked out/possibly taken to jail. Because I love you dearly, wildnsquirrelly, but I'll tell you right now, I won't have bail money. Just FYI.

Re: Hey, yeah. ..

[wildnsquirrelly.livejournal.com]

Bail money is only for people that get Caught!

Mwaahahahahaaa!

W'hoo!

Am I the only one who has a visual of you dropping a seal on the floor, although you being from florida, I keep picturing sea lions.

Seal

[rfunk.livejournal.com]

I'm right there with you. Well, except for the sea lions.

Re: Seal

[diermuid.livejournal.com]

No one esle seemed to mention it, I figured I was just really confused and everyone else knew what she was talking about.

Re: Seal

[zylch.livejournal.com]

nope, I'm perplexed too.

Re: Seal

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Me three, I figured it was a magical sigil, but then why wash it away? Oh right, chaotes...

Re: Seal

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

I figured it was a binding, so that she *could* wash it away without, you know, contaminating the sewer with any more unknown scary things than already live down there....

[wildnsquirrelly.livejournal.com]

Not too many Sea Lions down here as far as I can tell. I think they're more Pac N/W.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Not a lot of pinnipeds of any kind, I don't think. Except in the aquarium parks.

[diermuid.livejournal.com]

I was thinking Seaworld... everyone has sea lions instead of seals. It's like seals are normal animals and the sea lions are like water rodents that everyone can keep easily.

[duriyah.livejournal.com]

I was picturing some sort of Tuperware plasticy mat sort of thing that would seal it to the floor.

[wildnsquirrelly.livejournal.com]

Monkey!!

From the depths of memory...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Halt, demon, and give quarter!
*flail*

[duriyah.livejournal.com]

I vote for feeding it to the philodendron, if only to see if the plant mutates, and into what. But then, I don't work in your building.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

It seemed like a good idea for about 15 seconds, and then the thought occurred: "I've seen hentai films about that..."

[matchgirl42.livejournal.com]

Oh, bad, bad brain. No biscuit.

*goes off in search of the clorox wipes to get that image out of my head....*
