Why my aunt is awesome.

[eclecticgypsy]

It's not her birthday yet, but I remembered tonight a great story of why embermwe rocks. I was telling this story to a SCAdian I know, and I thought I would share it here, because it's the most hilarious thing that happened to me all of Pennsic this year.

I love embermwe! :-)

[embermwe]

Love you too. :)

:snerk: Actually I think that sounds more like your Mom than me..I guess I DO occasionally channel her tho in such situations.
(I think it might have been, "Chill out. I'm jarring curries and that one is next on the list.)I have known far too many tinhats over the years. They, just like soylent green, Are PEOPLE! ;p And come in infinite variety like people do. Some awesome, some awful. Most in betwen somewhere.

I adore that half lidded expression. It usually has a half smirk and the most utterly bored tone of voice to go with it.

I don't think you were channeling me... if someone had stomped their foot at me and whined like that I don't think I would have been nearly that polite. Something like, "Seriously milady...Do you think we post a guard at each end of the row and have them report to us when you turn the corner just so we can grab up all the Al-Hanout and throw it away so you can't have it?"

See? Not nearly so polite.

[eclecticgypsy]

Yeah. Mom or I would've fed her the remnants of her own dignity and pride over a side of rice.

With some Ras Al-Hanout.

Her, and Fake Cubeb Woman, are my two least favorite customers. If they were at least lucrative customers, I might be like, well yeah, but they buy like 60$ every time they come in, so... But no. Fake Cubeb Woman never buys a goddamn thing (customer, what?) and ITHAGRAH buys only that, Two Knives, and Omar's. And has a tantrum if we're out of any of them. Despite them being three of our popular blends.

[eclecticgypsy]

No, you definitely told her she must be good at it by now. I remember, because Ixy and I repeated the story to each other - particularly that line - for the rest of pennsic. In that gleeful "AHAHAHA" way that one does.

ITHAGRAH is the best acronym ever, I've decided. Makes her sound like a monster from Skyrim.

ith-ah-GRAH!

[synnoveaevael]

the story just gets funnier every time i read it. heh.

[eclecticgypsy]

Oh right, you're on here. I forgot that people actually still add people and use LJ beyond folks I've known for most of my life. *cough*

Yeah. ITHAGRAH!

[synnoveaevael]

HAHA! so sorry ;-)

[jjmarika]

That's the best response ever. :)
