The Official Nonsense Thread

[Caspin]

Day off today. I am waiting for a package to be delivered. Unfortunately the company attempting to deliver it appear to be entirely incompetent and I am losing hope that I will ever receive the damned thing.

I am fighting the urge to log in to work! It's quite busy but I really must chill out and try to enjoy my day off. I guess I'll load up a game and lose myself in that for a while. I need to sit quietly somewhere and try not to get injured. This week so far has been quite bad for clumsiness. I cut my hand on the box when unpacking the new lamp and nearly severed a finger, then somehow lacerated my arm at work on Monday (still haven't found out the cause) and bled all over my desk, to the alarm of my poor colleagues. Then last night I went to get my haircut and ended up nearly being scalped! My hairdresser had to take a phone call from his wife while he was washing my hair so he asked the beautician to take over. I was fine with that until it turned out that she has insanely long, pointy nails and was wearing huge gemstone rings on all of her fingers, so I ended up with quite a lot of scratches. I feel slightly fragile today.

Speaking of severed fingers, I neglected to take my own advice not to buy too many sweets.

Got these for trick-or-treaters (hopefully there won't be any and I can scoff the lot).




The orange balls are menacing pumpkins and the white balls are bloodshot eyes. The sticks are supposed to be "severed fingers", which I can relate to, but I only realised that when I opened the bag. In the shop I thought they were little coffins! It amuses me that there is some factory somewhere churning out chocolate balls that then get wrapped up to be eyeballs/footballs/christmas puds or whatever is needed at that time of year, plus one producing those sticks that are shaped like bodies - they've done a pretty rubbish job of making them look like fingers (coffins would have been easier, why was I not consulted...) but in a few weeks they'll be santa-shaped no doubt.

Silly, aren't they.
