scorpion!

Talked to Patty. She's fine. Someone on the dig got stung by a scorpion so excitement was afoot (literally).

So on my list of disaster phrases of awesome cadence I now have:

- mauled by a tiger!
- punched by a pirate!
- stung by a scorpion!

So says the person who claims to hate puns ;p

Doctor Who is ruining me.

Ah, but is it ruining you, or rather...no, upon reflection, I guess it's just ruining you.

There's an awful Sherlock Holmes pun in there somewhere, I just know it...

The game is underfoot!

Or perhaps an awful Shakespeare pun. (Sherlock stole the line from Henry V)

He didn't steal the line, because he would have expected Dr. Watson to recognise it, as Arthur Conan Doyle would have expected his readers to.
But a Shakespearean pun would be the most awful, and thus best.

As long as it's neither Patty* nor a fatality.

Fucked by a florist? ;-)

But is that really a disaster?

Depends on the florist. ;-)

And on the fucking.

I once found a scorpion in my bathroom. It's not exactly the sight one wants at 3 a.m.

Oh, scary scary...I hope the stingee is ok!

Mauled! By a tiger! In the carpet!

Also, I know you don't care much for The Princess Bride, but this is the part where I'm obligated to say "Murdered by pirates is good."
