News Report #2

Nov 25, 2011 13:30

[Phone]Well, it looks like the holiday passed without too much incident -- just a little bit of insanity before hand. I don't know if anybody got to the bottom of that, but I'd really love to know what made a good chunk of our citizenry lose their ever lovin' minds. It certainly had me in an-- odd position, for a while. Not bad, I guess, and nobody ( Read more... )

Who is this...? Your voice sounds familiar. Wait, it's... Roseanne, right? Pulitzer Prize Candidate?

Peter Parker, speaking, just to put us on the same page.
God, there were so many P's in those two sentences...it's like I'm spitting here.

Roxanne.

I remember.

[Whoops...awkward...]

Aheh. I am... so sorry. I'm bad at names sometimes, and this was... one of those times. That is embarrassing. Roxanne. Like the song! I got it now.

Well, I'm guessing you didn't get a case of the Crazies, huh? No running around seeing horrible hallucinations like axe murderers or Sarah Jessica Parker?

pluckyreporter November 26 2011, 07:24:51 UTC

Yes. Like the song.

[ABOUT A PROSTITUTE. Please don't bring that up either, Peter.]

No. A -- friend of mine did. But I got him talked down from... anything too nutty.

[Don't worry! There's only so much room left in his mouth with his size 9 1/2 in it, he couldn't fit the other foot in there if he tried.]

Yeahh... It, um, it wasn't pretty, speaking as a guy who was on the other end of Cookoo Land for a while there.
[involuntary shudder]

It was the shrooms, as the kids would say. These funkadelic mushrooms popped up overnight I guess. I would assume they were spread by spores from somewhere and flew all over town. Drones and very stupid normals people got the madness by deciding to cook them for their households or eat them.

pluckyreporter November 26 2011, 18:39:13 UTC

Mushrooms?

The town was on a bad trip?

webball November 26 2011, 18:42:16 UTC

The town was on the mother of all bad trips, yes. It was more like a bad vacation. Filled with our deepest fears, biggest regrets, Chevy Chase steering us all into zany misadventures interrupting what should have been a normal family road trip, etc.

pluckyreporter November 26 2011, 19:10:40 UTC

Even worked in a Chevy ref, huh?

Good to know.

webball November 26 2011, 19:44:34 UTC

[A quick chuckle] Well, I try my best.

...For the record, I totally wasn't stupid enough to eat one of those things. Well, I mean... I DID, but... okay, the drone cooks at the diner put them into my steak bomb. So, I was tricked. Swindled, even, of my sanity.

pluckyreporter November 26 2011, 22:59:41 UTC

Sure you weren't.

Ah well. Thanks for the explanation.

webball November 26 2011, 23:42:17 UTC

Sure thing. Lesson of the day is: Always Inspect Your Sub Sandwiches. Especially if they look pretty.

I'll see you when I see you, Roxanne Likethesong.

pluckyreporter November 27 2011, 05:08:50 UTC

Yeah. Thanks.
