scorpion!

[rm]

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.

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

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


*I'm just going to assume that we are somehow introduced, because the Internet is like a roof. Or something.

The game is underfoot!

Fucked by a florist? ;-)

[rm.livejournal.com]

But is that really a disaster?

[1-mad-squirrel.livejournal.com]

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

[1-mad-squirrel.livejournal.com]

Depends on the florist. ;-)

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

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

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

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

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.

And on the fucking.

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."

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

I have a story...

Ooh! do tell!
