So a friend of mine asked

Were I a summonable monster, what kind of ritual would you craft to summon me? (Include items to lure monster-me and method for said fell ritual.)

I replied

Ruler-thwacking, slow-slow-sloooooooooow opening of a junk mail envelope (with my tongue), the donning of antlers, the setting of said antlers on fire, the dousing of my flaming antlers in my Cream of Mushroom Soup, a National Guard flyby, bubbling of bacon grease, and a telling of "The Aristocrats."

Current Mood: inordinately proud of this

My Austin friend can do massage therapy, tarot readings, data entry, and prooof reading (I put in that extra "o" to keep her on her toes). And she's offering these services farther and wider as a way to raise money for hella-scary dental care bills.

Be better, idiomagic.

Christine's ST scan (sadly, not a scan to see if she's a cat) came back inconclusive, so she has to take the second test. Oh, and everyone in that department was sent home early because of the snow, so she has to wait until tomorrow. And she can't eat, still. And she's homesick.

Ugh.

Happy birthday to my beloved slipjig!

And happy birthday to tek2way.

USA's next scripted series is a spy show starring Piper Perabo, Anne Dudek, and Christopher Gorham.

I am totally there.

Today: the year's first birthday amongst my circle of online friends.

Please to be sending "Happy Birthday" vibes to Adam Fromm, a.k.a. slipjig!

You like crosswords? Adam makes them. A year or two ago he got a crossword published in the New York Times. Later this year he'll have one of his Sunday crosswords published in the New York Times. Those Sunday puzzles are MONSTERS. And he wrangled one into shape.

That's just one example of the coolness of slipjig. Happy Birthday, man.

P.S. Why not? I'll re-share the birthday thing I wrote for him two years ago:

Y'all should give a flying fig
'Bout the birthday of our man slipjig
Adult beverages one should swig
Or instead maybe fly in a Russian MiG
That he's a year older is good, ya dig
(He's still years away from needing a wig)
His partners all know he's their own Mr. Big
And he thinks well enough to still do trig
So dance a dance like a whirligig
To the beat of drums by Anton Fig
And happy-fun party time we should rig
To celebrate the birthday of slipjig!
