So, how was Hawaii?
Um, great. Why are you in my house?
Long story.
You write novels.
Point taken…. So, I don’t write much humor. Not one-liners, anyway—I like to think I’m good at subtle irony. So I asked Robin for a little help.
Robin.
She’s funny, you know? And I didn’t know if she’d get back to me soon enough, so I emailed Buffy and Blogless and Dave and a couple others.
How many others?
Most of the regulars, most of the semi-regulars. Word gets around, you know? I even think Anon slipped in the back door with Ril and 150.
Back door.
Someone had this idea of doing the slush for you while you were gone—a thank you present. I can’t remember how we found your house, but then someone thought of searching your address book for Miss Snark’s number, so we could thank her, too. And we got hungry and there were these cookies, and if you give fairyhedgehog a cookie she’s going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give her the milk, she’s—
How does the TP fit into this?
Uh. Well, I was upstairs trying to figure out your computer—that’s one ooooold computer—so I could do the day’s Face-Lift, when the party started. I’m, uh, not much of a party person, so I waited it out.
Where’s everybody now?
Well, Dave’s probably still at the store looking at chemicals in cleaning stuff, trying to figure out which one’s best and if he can make his own batch cheaper. More cheaply. Whichever. Robin’s in the corner with a lampshade on her head. VKW’s actually cleaning. Oh, and I think Anon is trying to drunk-dial Miss Snark.
Did the slush get done?
Uh….

I laughed out loud at this; and I loved being included so thank you!
Nice!
Love the minion invasion.
Very clever and funny -- though I doubt you'd every find Anon and me in the same room together.
Well done!
I'm with FH - laughed out loud at this. Plus, how did you knmow I loved lampshades?
Excellent.
Enjoyed as well. Particularly appreciated the "take a mouse to the" allusion.
