Comparative...Let's Say 'Humor'

Shortly after encountering the Numidid, someone makes the inevitable “Numididn’t” joke. 

(#00744 - B013)

“I am Numidid,” said Ambassador Su'sin, offering her hand.

The newly-minted Ambassador for the Consortium of Steam immediately struck a pose and said, “Oh nu-mi-di-en’t…”

One of the other members of the Consortium of Steam smacked hirself in the face at that. “We’re being ambassadors, today…”

“I don’t understand,” pleaded Su'sin.

“It’s human comedy,” explained Ambassador Stiiv, also of Amity. “Remember the archival stuff in your stereotypes module?”

“Oh,” Su'sin literally climbed up Stiiv to perch on her shoulder and said. “Let me try to get it right,” she fluffed herself up. “Yes she nu-mi-di-id.”

It was one of the rare cases that an alien species got along with the Consortium of Steam straight from the introduction. And one of the cases that caused the Galactic Alliance to argue about the infectious nature of human insanity.

Artsy Fartsy part 14!

This is the last of them! I forgot to document more than a few, but here are the very last of…

The Photos:

  1. Wind chime tassels in gold and silver

  2. Black pendulums for all hypnotic and occult needs

  3. Assymetrical ‘cherry’ pendants, the making of

  4. And how they were put together

  5. That’s about a yard of clip-on earrings on a chain

  6. The gift presentation

  7. Look out, Isabella! They’re headed your way!

Challenge #00743 - B012: A Requiem for Glory

The grass is always greener on the other side of the nuclear war.
Sometimes due to glowing with radiation, granted.

“War,” said the Elder. “We had to fight it, of course. Those evil bastards on the other continent were going to destroy our way of life. So we had to destroy theirs.”

“Um,” said Krii, raising her hand.

“Yes, what?”

“Did they know that was why we attacked? Because, um, it might explain

bunnybennett:

A veneer of a human being struggling to make the trolley and find a way out of the sinning dark. What’s underneath the rubber personality and faulty smile? A bastard decay. The wrong body filled with the rot of the soul. Its wrong down to its core and it will die alone. Let this thing decay in the gutters less it infect others…with those… trolley bones. #bunnybennett #isabellabennett

TBH this photo and that blurb kind of make me want

Challenge #00742 - B011: You Stole What?

To paraphrase Die Hard:

“Now I have a Death Star. Ho Ho Ho.”

“This is your claim. A dwarf planet in a Sargasso. Big whoop.”

“It’s not a dwarf planet,” said Lenn Ybalius. She was busy watching her controls and making certain she piloted her way in on certain vectors.

“Oh, you hijacked a moon,” singsonged Prella. She had a low opinion of her business partner. “That’s above your usual standards.

Please stop telling us it’s not about race and to move on cause IT IS and WE WONT until justice is served and equality is established!

Artsy Fartsy part 13! [or 12a if you’re a triskadecaphobiac]

For my last two, I went for subtle… and not very subtle.

  1. Semi-patriotic red, white, and blue fun danglers. On gunmetal clips, of course

  2. Demure red pins with glass bugle beads. I broke like four of those little suckers before I figured out how to handle them properly

That’s it until I can lay my hands on six more clip-on finings. I am SO close to being

Artsy Fartsy part 12!

These were my last clips (currently) so I had to do something special. Which includes a DIY chain tassel tutorial!

The Photos:

  1. Each tassel contains two rings of seven chains

  2. For the earrings, cut two even lengths of wire. Better to cut longer than you expect to use than have to pull it apart because it was too short

  3. Stick a neat little U-bend in one side

  4. Just add tassel rings

  5. Close the wire up and thread any

Artsy Fartsy part 11!

I was so busy whilst the internet was down that I ran out of clips. I NEED SIX MORE TO FINISH I’M SO CLOSE AAAAAARRGH!

The Photos:

  1. I had all these irridescent beads and a need to make something black

  2. I had all these non-irredescent beads and a need to make something black

  3. This pair of earrings is made almost exclusively from single pairs of things found in grab-bags

  4. I’ll be using some of

Challenge #00741 - B010: Not Quite MST3K

“Guys! Guys! I have a loaded machine pistol in my hand and I have no idea what I’m doing!”

Shayde giggled. “Awright. That one had a point. The goal is tae make fun of the movie, not the common hollywood tropes, ye ken.”

“It’s still fun,” argued a SPOEn who called herself Molly Ringwald.

“Aye, it is tha’.” She pointed at the screen. “BOOM! Take a shot!” She

Write your story out in a word processor on your computer, save it, and wait for your internet to return to life. Nobody will mind if it's...

I’m currently using my phone as a wifi hotspot and shall therefore be using the internet VERY sparingly.

It’s a hardware issue - in that the wires that the telephone company were supposed to be maintaining were allowed to fail and now my house and 120 other households are now officially incommunicado until freaking MONDAY.

Today is Friday.

You can guess how pleased I am about all this.
