My Life the Future Shock

Generally Contrary · 08 April, 2003, 06:24:37 PM

Or perhaps more accurately, my death.

I'm off to Hong Kong this weekend (expect updates from Necropolis) but I have this sneaking suspicion that, before I board the plane home I will be assasinated by a time traveller (fresh from strangling Hitler at birth). Okay, okay, I understand it would prevent the spread of the plague that will wipe out all mankind, but this kind of time paradox defying justice is a bit harsh, don't you think?

I'm not sure what the twist is yet, but I can promise that it will end, 'Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo'.

"not sure what the twist is yet"

That'd get you eaten alive at Pitchfest.

Of course, it could be that after I have dodged the plague weakened visitor from the future, losing him the scotch aisles of the duty free shop, I am detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure as a health risk.

Although, in this Grant Morrison-esque nightmare world I am conjuring, Her Pleasure has a lot to do with Black Rod.

'Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!'

Wow. Sure puts my mental problems in perspective...

Anyway my lifes far more shocking. A&E monday night injured juve, Tuesday night violent pschopathic drugg crazed youth smashes things up around my place, including a car, much traumatised teens & fighting to restrain him, damage, no sleep; wednesday?, why police statements all day...what fun.
brilliant wonder what tomorrow will bring...

bags of sympathy anyone?
fraught Bou.

Big bags of sympathy for you, Bou, that's some real shitty stuff there :(

Queen Firey-Bou · 11 April, 2003, 01:34:08 AM

why thankyou kind sir !

Trout · 11 April, 2003, 01:54:56 AM

Bloody hell, Bou!*

And there was me wanting to move to the countryside.

Hope you're okay, and the kids too.

Bou, you be bloody careful out there!

I saw a cyclist get hit by a car today, it was not very nice.

aj: love the icon!

Yes Bou, but where's the twist. I would think that your life would merit a multi-part epic rather than a throw-away humour 5-pager.

Actually, the above is an expression of my sympathy (and admiration for the people who do a job I proved I didn't have the cojones to do) in a comic book life-translation kind of way. But is this all life at the sharp end of public service or did some of this trouble come looking for you?

Devons Daddy · 11 April, 2003, 06:50:25 PM

to HONG KONG
