Don't worry we'll be issuing clown-masking glasses to our people. (Just got the crate in from the Lanyon Imaginarium Armory.)
You will be invulnerable to all clowns, as well as several types of stand up comedians.

I am picturing your mighty armies of ponies, clowns, and glittery hangers-on marching off to war to the tune of "Bridge Over the River Kwai" performed on kazoo.

For booking just send a message. My usual fee includes a golden hairnet, three cows, and a bag of sour sweets (just because I finished the last one yesterday). :-D

These scary looking ponies with their green glass beads will surely make our enemy shake in terror!



Note: They are Katharina's and Calathea's ponies — Josh can have the chocolate chip cookies (WITHOUT raisins) to gain his strength for the battle.

We'll put Nicole in the front line when we'll attack, 'cause that's an impressive outfit! We are gonna have to slay some enemies beforehand though... where's Aleks when we need him...?!

Aww... you're the best, Johanna! :) Awesome!

Ginn wrote: "Nicole will be wearing the skins of our slain enemies!
Astrid will put on her full fairy princess--she wicked fast with those little wings of hers.
And I will be clothed in the traditional raiments of my people--the fearsome hobos!"

These outfits put the fear in ME! :-D The hobo one I can supply also quite easily. We'd have to ask Nicole how she feels about second hand clothes, though. These skins have been worn by other people after all!

I'm forging the hairnet even as we speak! :D

LOL. ;-)

AWESOME!!!!!

I think you may be quite right--though "Another One Bites the Dust" on whoopee cushions might also be possible.

"I so want YOU on every team I have!"

I won't wander far away Katharina either... she seems like a gal one wants to stick with during a battle like this. (I've already shopped for golden hairnets, cows and sour sweets...)

Ginn wrote: I think you may be quite right...

I cannot stop laughing at that picture! Uh mom, where do we get the whoopee cushions? Lol

Ginn wrote: "I'm forging the hairnet even as we speak! :D"

Ooh, I'm looking forward to it :-D
... if it comes to defending your books, though, I'd graciously offer my services completely for free (see what you get for writing these brilliant stories? ;-D)

Katharina wrote: "We'd have to ask Nicole how she feels about second hand clothes, though. These skins have been worn by other people after all! "

Well, I'm okay with second hand skins, generally, so long as they don't have any really bad tattoos. Like it would be hard to strike fear in the hearts of my enemies wearing a full backpiece of Snoopy & Tweety.

I could always just wear the skins of slain Plot Zombies--which by a startling coincidence is what I'm blogging about today over at Jessewave's.

Nicole already has a FULL wardrobe of tailored enemies' skins--and matching pumps.
(In fact I think she over at jessewave slaying zombies even as we speak.)

Ooooooh... matching pumps! I'm soooooo jealous!!!

Yeah, you've definitely got a point there... ;-)

How do we tune the whoopee cushions...?

Battle formation: everybody huddle around Katherina with golden hairnets at the ready!

*splutter* :-)

ETA: Help. I almost choked.

Katharina wrote: "These outfits put the fear in ME! :-D The hobo one I can supply also quite easily..."

I was going to say that we should make sure we don't show up to battle wearing the same outfit... but then I remembered that that's actually what armies are SUPPOSED to do...

Maybe we're less of an army than a rag-tag, rebel fleet making a heroic stand against the rising power of a tyrannical Dark Lord.

Ginn wrote: "How do we tune the whoopee cushions...? ...?"

Eat lots of beans...

We'll gas 'em out!

I'm the one wearing pink and glitter. And a red carnation through the buttonhole.

Johanna wrote: "I won't wander far away Katharina either... she seems like a gal one wants to stick with during a battle like this. (I've already shopped for golden hairnets, cows and sour sweets...)"

I've been known to talk people into sleep, so I think myself I might prove useful in this fight. Also, I have a very mean facial expression, profound expletive vocabulary and no shame. I think we have already won.

Katharina wrote: "Johanna wrote: "I won't wander far away Katharina either... she seems like a gal one wants to stick with during a battle like this. (I've already shopped for golden hairnets, cows and sour sweets....."

Hmm... at least the no shame part sounds strangely familiar... I wonder why...

Ginn wrote: "I think you may be quite right--though "Another One Bites the Dust" on whoopee cushions might also be possible."

ROFL - oh Gods what y'all do to me...

Nicole wrote: "Well, I'm okay with second hand skins, generally, so long as they don't have any really bad tattoos. Like it would be hard to strike fear in the hearts of my enemies wearing a full backpiece of Snoopy & Tweety."

That totally makes sense. We'll tattoo the front with Disney Cinderella themes instead. THAT should shake them up quite a bit.

Ahahhhahhahaa... OMG, you are totally killing me... :-)

Ginn wrote: "Battle formation: everybody huddle around Katherina with golden hairnets at the ready!"

That works! I'll just trust you all to bring me the cows later :D
But, hey, wait. Aren't you the fearless leaders in all this, Ms. (x3) and Mr. Irregulars? Shouldn't we huddle around YOU?

Susinok wrote: "Eat lots of beans... We'll gas 'em out!"

hahahaa, that's an awesome strategy. There the cows would be quite useful, too. Think of all the methane they produce.
... wait a minute. If THIS is the strategy we'll follow, I'm not so sure I'm pro huddling around me. Actually, I'd rather you didn't... :-D

Ginn wrote: "I was going to say that we should make sure we don't show up to battle wearing the same outfit... but then I remembered that that's actually what armies are SUPPOSED to do..."

ROTFL @ what a terrible soldier you would make.

Still laughing!

It's reassuring, isn't it?"

Very. Nice to know one is not alone. :-D

It could just work!
(I'm sorry Bessy, no parachutes this time.)

Okay, someone remind me. What "awards" did Irregulars win? (Yes, I KNOW I need to keep track of this stuff)

Are you SURE those aren't raisins?

Here you guys have been having fun all day while I've been doing my taxes and listening to the audio files for Strange Fortune. I'm wondering what kind of a deduction I can take for magical artifacts...

I wanted to thank all of you for the insanity here. It's almost the only thing that's kept me sane this week. ;-)

Josh wrote: "Here you guys have been having fun all day while I've been doing my taxes and listening to the audio files for Strange Fortune. I'm wondering what kind of a deduction I can take for magical artifac..."

You have my sympathy; I spent last week on taxes... and then just stared into space in horror. Taxes...

Karen wrote: "I wanted to thank all of you for the insanity here. It's almost the only thing that's kept me sane this week. ;-)"

For my part, I'm more than happy to oblige.
Stay sane, by all means!

hihi :)

Karen wrote: "I wanted to thank all of you for the insanity here. It's almost the only thing that's kept me sane this week. ;-)"

Hey, this is the sweetest thing I've heard anybody say for a while. :)

And yes, I think that those SIX dabwahabadhawa rounds we still have to battle are keeping us all ultra sane for the rest of the spring, don't you think?!

Such a gift to have all this insanity here. (No, I'm not looking at Ginn's and Katharina's direction right now. I'm really not. No.)

Karen wrote: "I wanted to thank all of you for the insanity here. It's almost the only thing that's kept me sane this week. ;-)"

Well, you are very welcome, Karen, and thanks for that very sweet post!! I think I can speak for quite a few of us when I say that it doesn't take much work for us to keep up the insanity level. Really, it's the sanity that is so damn hard to achieve, so kudos to you ;)

Johanna wrote: "Such a gift to have all this insanity here. (No, I'm not looking at Ginn's and Katharina's direction right now. I'm really not. No.)"

I'm really not sure what you mean, Johanna, I'm the absolute epitome of sanity (ugh, ignore prior post, please, it might destroy my argument here). If you look at the definition of quiet, reasonable, and sane then there should be my picture next to it.
...Ginn, on the other hand, is completely bonkers. :-D :-D :-D

Some books instantly remind me of where I first read them, and this is particularly so with audiobooks - I remember a particular part of the road I was driving when I heard a specific scene - so don't let the sour taste of taxes contaminate Strange Fortune!

Karen wrote: "I wanted to thank all of you for the insanity here. It's almost the only thing that's kept me sane this week. ;-)"

It's good to have a safe place to let it all out, isn't it!

:-D
... still the T word is really bad. It's gonna take me at least a whole weekend getting my husband's and my stuff done and I'm procrastinating pretty actively. I'm wondering what kind of favours I can get out of him for that abysmal way of spending weekends... ;D
