Morning Discussion

by Alice O'Connor, Feb 10, 2010 5:00am PST

"You shouldn't do that," she sighed. "It'll hurt."

"Nonsense! You just need to concentrate." He pulled the trigger and a bullet tore through his thigh, embedding itself in the walnut-effect laminate flooring. She shook her head.

She started, "I did say..." but trailed off as he gritted his teeth, took aim then fired again.

His lower leg flopped to the ground as his thighbone splintered and gave out. He furrowed his brow and went to raise the revolver again but paused. The damned mole on his knee didn't seem so much as troubled by the whole ordeal, let alone removed.

"Ah," he uttered, raising one finger. "No, my mistake. Dreadfully sorry. You're right--it does smart a little. Could you possibly ring for an ambulance?"

The alternate Morning Discussion blurb for today follows: That snow, eh? Tsk! Can't decide whether it's coming or going. Wotta loada old tosh and no mistake, my son.

If you have BioShock 2 chat to chat, hey, here's a dedicated chat thread.

Oh man I just went exploring outside since the snow stopped and whoever owns this car in my lot is in for a seriously shitty day.

The roads actually seem to be getting plowed fairly decently. US 1 at least looked pretty clear when I looked at it with cars going by. I am sure side roads are screwed though.

Also the wind out there is pretty bad and is going to cause problems for the rest of the night. Walls of snow went blowing by in the lot when the wind picked up.

      There's a truck in the lot here at work that usually has a small tarp over the windshield on snowy days.
      
      I don't think it would really work for us though. You'd still have to clear the snow off your car, then you'd have a bigass, cold, ice-covered tarp to store somewhere. The way we have it now, instead of all the tarp bullshit, we might just have to scrape the windows.

      It would also be pretty easy to scratch the car up, unless the underside of the tarp is made of snuggies. : sweat
