Hubris- Like Wildfire

Sep03

Chapter:

News spreads like wildfire at the Fest!  I guess with that many people all crammed together, lots of things spread like wildfire. News, Gossip, Talk, Innuendo, etc.  Vomiting, as we’ve seen.  The Flu, once would expect.  COVID, if this were the real world (but in the Hubrisverse, there ain’t no such thing because it depresses me.), food poisoning, fleas, unmentionable vulgar medical issues we also don’t wish to deal with here ’cause they ain’t funny… and, of course, Wildfires.  Those would, by definition, spread like wildfire.  Campfire, too, if left unattended would spread like wildfire after a certain point.  You can probably guess the point at which it begins to spread like wildfire.

 

Just gonna leave that joke riiiiiight here for ya.

Hubris- The Gift Of Gab

Jul30
by on July 30, 2021 at 3:33 am
Chapter:

Enis can talk his way into and out of anything.  Just ask him!  He’ll tell ya.  And tell ya.  And tell ya.

I’ve met a few people like that.  Look ya in the eye and tell you something that just… isn’t … so.  But because they believe it for the moment, and because they expect you to believe it because they said it, and there’s that personal charm or charisma or psychic evil power or whatever they got, you sorta feel like you’re not just supposed to just walk away thinking “Poor stupid imbecile. I hope he doesn’t hurt himself.”

And you get drawn into the crazy.

Chapter:

Just who are we most threatened by, here?  Enis? David? Paste? Hometeam? David’s investment group?

Heck no… just don’t get Dorothy involved, for heaven’s sake.

Hubris- Worth and Value

Jan08
by on January 8, 2020 at 12:01 am
Chapter:

So, what’s a thing worth?  Whatever someone will pay you for it.

I’ve seen people say that the value of a baseball card is a specific dollar amount because they read it in the price guide.  Well, I know from growing up buying comics that the amounts in the price guide are only valid if you can get someone to cough ’em up.

Hubris might be overvaluing his store.  Maybe not.

I’ve got an old Jeep.  People ask how much I want for it.  I say, “Six thousand.” and they say “It’s not worth that.”  to which I reply “It’s worth more to me in my driveway than in yours.”  So, yeah, my old rattletrap isn’t worth six thousand to a bank, or to some guy who randomly wants me to sell my Jeep without me saying “Hey, I think I’ll sell my Jeep.” but in the end… Well, in the end, Peter’s not going to be able to buy the Outdoor Galore Store.  Wonder how he’ll react to that?
