Oh, man. I have no words.

She was all "Hey, this is pretty slipp-"

And the God of Comedy Set-Ups was all *SMITE!*

I kept walking for a step because I was convinced she just let her bag hit the ground. To be humorous. Really. I turned around, and all I could see of her were the soles of her shoes thrashing around at about eye level.

Me: "Do you need some hel-"

Her: "NOOOO! Just let me - *splat* - slide down - *splat* - the steps."

Me: O.o

Really, there's no helping me in these situations.

Truly a classic Mertastrophe. And this? "...like the world had decided to briefly become a six-year-old girl and break out the body glitter even though Mom told them not to." Brilliant. Funny and poetic at the same time.

I was not at all basing that thought on recent experiences with the stepdaughter and the vanilla bodysplash.

Nope.

Classic :)

That... thing... in your icon looks like a cross of Ponyta from Pokemon and an evil mangel-wurzel. Qu'est-ce que c'est?

It's "L'il Delirium" from the Sandman series.

Have you never read the Sandman comics? They are teh awesome. I have all of the trades if you ever need them...

*S* Yep, comdey gold, mostly because you are OK ;-) and because of that I am still giggling at helaaspindakaas' description of your thrashing soles.

humm thrashing soles would make a great band name ;-)

Glad you are fine, and though I enjoyed the Pythonesque quality of the scene, don't do that too often!

Spend enough time with me and, statistically speaking, you will witness just such a pratfall.

Like the time I fell out of dannimal's apartment.
Like the time I walked into a telephone guy wire under molnar_salomone's watchful eye.
Like the time I fell *off* the bus in high school and lay in the parking lot like a turtle on my back, unable to regain my feet because of the forty pounds of books in my backpack. (No LJ witnesses to that, alas.)

Oh, yeah. It'll happen.

Uh-oh?

The last time you had a hilarious walking catastrophe without self-injury in the presence of a male friend on the way to work....you married him.
