There is one thing that I think we can be sure
of in this part of the world for sure, and that is what ever happens with the End
of the World it will not involve fire and brimstone because even an entire
coach load of boy scouts with their fire making badges could not set fire to
anything at present. Not even an object that has Highly Inflammable Keep away
from Boy Scouts with Badgers (sorry Badges) and Matches written in huge red
letter on the side.
Mum and dad said they wanted to pop to the
supermarket for a few items today which at face value seemed like madness, but
surprisingly worked out OK. They think there were a couple of reasons for this,
firstly sheer good luck; that always helps a lot and although in general terms
we are not the luckiest of people every now and again something small will go
our way. Then making sure they were wearing the appropriate clothing made a
huge difference, Bearing in mind the main topic of discussion this week (the 21st
December and the End of the World) they both dressed up as The Grim Reaper.
Yes I think as lots of
people are starting to get twitchy about the increased possibility that based
on the law of probabilities sooner or later some mad loony will finally predict
Armageddon on the right date. So as you might expect of an already nervous
crowd in a crowded supermarket seeing The Grim Reaper smiling back at you as
you attempt to push your trolley into the frozen food aisles (party nibbles
section) it can be a little off putting and lead to a smallish stampede. Add to
that the sight of another Grim Reaper (dad) throwing cheese slices at little
old ladies with a parrot on his shoulder disguised as a gull, and a small
stampede quickly becomes a mass riot as the masses flee from the store
clutching frozen turkeys and Christmas crackers (not the ones you put cheese
slices on). As dad said when he arrived home he might go shopping as the Grim
Reader more often, possibly the January sales if we have not all been destroyed
by aliens.
The one good thing that came
out of this event was that the school goats last trip on his Steam Powered
Catapult before Christmas was today, and his arrival through the skylight was
timed to perfection and he was able to graze happily on fresh Brussel Sprouts
for ages. I think goats are one of the few animals that eat Brussel Sprouts so
he was very happy, however Brussel Sprouts can give goat’s bad wind and a goat
with bad wind is bad, so I don’t think any self respecting alien will go near
him tomorrow.
We are having a Chinese as
our evening meal tonight from the Chinese take away and although not as Chinese
as say Captain Nessman’s Chinese Christmas dinner it is still WELL YUM and a
fitting way to end the last day before the arrival of Intergalactic Cheese
Slices, Space Gulls and Aliens.

Wow! Five! You have five subjects in your blog post title. I don't think I have ever been that adventuresome enough to go much beyond two on rare instances. I noticed that I mistakenly had 'ehough' instead of 'enough' in that previous sentence, which would be enough with too much. And enougn would be enough that didn't have enough.
ReplyDeleteWell you could argue that the grim reaper, the end of the world and goats are all dealing with the same thing . . . . Apocalypse.
DeleteI will say Mr ESB if you see a Trojan Space Gull then keep your head down and offer it some fish
I wiLL.
DeleteI have been tweeting for the past week asking all doomsday believers to give me their things, especially electronic gadgets. I guess they're holding out just in case. lol
ReplyDeleteYes that is the problem with the End of the World no one will believe it until it ends and by then its a little too late.
DeleteNothing wrong with a good Brussel Sprout. Any you don't or need you send up the road to me. yum YUM YUM!
ReplyDeleteWell Mr H eating those might just save you from the aliens. They are not something any sane alien would go near as far as I know. . .
