When you’re young, it’s an easy trap to fall into- “This hurts. I must have done something to it. Oh, yeah, I fell off a skateboard. I rode into a tree…” That sort of thing. Then, you get a few years on you, and things just start to hurt for no damn reason. Or at least not a cool, fun, reason. “Oh, I have a headache because the flexibility of my corneas suddenly diminished because evolution deems that I should be sabre toothed tiger poo by now and it doesn’t matter if my eyes falter and my knees sound like bubble wrap.”
Not cool.
I could never be a ninja. Every time I climbed up to someone’s roof, the cracking in my ankles would alert the guards…
Is the fest gonna be an annual thing?
The idea was to have the fest successful enough that Hubris could buy up Sportsmart and fire the snot out of Lowell. I don’t think he’s going to manage that this time, so either the fest runs one more year, or Greg finds another storyline that takes less work to draw.
Also … maybe it could take less than 19 months to draw out too. LOL
If it takes less time to spin out the next yarn, are you guys gonna lose respect for me?
[Thinks …]
Depends on the yarn, but probably not.
I’ll always respect you in the morning, Greg 🙂
hmmm … that depends on my cut. 😛
j/k nah, I won’t lose ‘spect for ya … I can’t draw worth shit, so I have mad respect for ya, yo!
Oh I hear that. As a kid I did all Sorts of stupid stuff, then hit my twenties and suddenly my body started going, “Oh I don’t think we should be doing That,” and “Ya Might wanna Rethink that…”
I remember one year I was hanging lights for the holidays from the roof of our old trailer I lived in. My knee landed on a little pointed bit of tar. It poked through under the knee cap (with out even breaking skin, mind you) making me howl like a bansidhe and nearly fall off the roof. Forever after that, I can tell you when there’s going to be a cold snap because of the darn thing. (by the way, y’all up here in the Northern Americas with me, expect an early winter.)
Ow.
I hope not on early winter, I got too much ‘prepare and finish before freezing’ work left. Besides I’m not even hinting I’m going to grow a good winter coat yet… My weather forecaster is a left toe that I accidentally rammed a pin through a joint on. Yep. It’s more accurate than Weather Channel…
Ah, hanging Christmas lights … I was doing that. One of the C6 glass bulbs broke just after I had twisted it in, and I got shocked cuz my mitten was wet. It was NOT pleasant. LOL
What’s worse? Being on the roof for a reason like, “Decorate so the neighbors think we’re in the spirit of the holidays?” or “I’m on the roof and soaking wet” or “I’ve broken a bulb and now the whole string won’t light up” or “I’m being electrocuted and I pray I don’t wet myself before I fall off the roof” or “I’m falling off the roof”? They all sound pretty iffy.
I installed large cup hooks on my eaves (single story rancher type) and took a mop handle and made a loop hook (straight wire, a loop that sticks up and a hook part that sticks out from there) and can take my lights and hang them in place from the ground. They come down easy then too. I can do all wiring precheck in the living room and replace bulbs before I go outside and hang them. My spouse doesn’t do the lights, I do them. Peace that ways…. (same for mowing lawn, I mow the front, so whatever I feel like moving and putting back or mowing around, goes)
Sweet!
