Directional Sneezes

Sunday, November 29, 2009

Tried to sell this one but couldn't...so here you have it. My rejected material for your consumption. Enjoy!

Crelbow sneezes are for the weak. Here’s a list of ten much more productive places to send a sneeze this winter.

1) Into the face of another person - Germs are kind of like bees; they’ll leave you alone and latch onto another person if you shoo them in that direction.

2) Into your Popliteal Fossa – The back of the knee, as equally cave-ish as the crelbow, except further away from the face. And hey, if you can get down there in time without hurting yourself, why the heck not?

3) Into a folder – Simply file the sneeze away. Just make sure it’s labeled accordingly (e.g. Top Secret Germs) to deter people from accidentally opening it.

4) Into the box where you store your summer clothes – This way when you open the box in the spring, the sneeze will be so happy to see the sunlight, it won’t want to infect anyone (except with said happiness).

5) Into your laundry basket - It’s gonna get washed anyway, right?

6) Onto the sticky side of a piece of tape – Just think of it as ‘extra glue’. Note: Do not use this tape to wrap Christmas presents. No one wants vomiting and chest pain as a gift. However, if you happen to know where Osama Bin Laden is hiding, why not send some tape his way? Fighting germs and terrorism, now that’s a well placed sneeze!

7) Into a bottle of hand sanitizer – They instantly cancel each other out.

8) Into a balloon – Good. Now quickly fill it with helium and let it go. Ha! It’s God’s problem now!

9) Into a drawer – Only to be used as a receptacle in very desperate situations. Make sure you duct tape the drawer shut immediately after contamination, regardless of whatever necessary items (passport, insulin, etc.) that might be trapped inside.

10) Onto a pig – Make sure you yell “Take THAT swine!” right afterward to ensure a clear message.

Light

There is such a fantastic sun today. I suggest you go outside and let it push down on you. Literally. Light causes pressure much like the wind. It's the basis of radiation.

Now go outside and try to become radioactive.

Ominous

It's official. Winter is coming. And I live in Ottawa, so it's coming like a bad movie sequel. 'The Return' or 'With a Vengence', that sort of thing.

In other ominious news I realized on the bus the other day that I have a frequent thought pattern that occurs. If a few people get on the bus and I'm sitting in a seat with an empty seat beside it, I secretly hope no one will sit beside me, HOWEVER, when a whole gaggle of people get on the bus I hope only that the smelliest/grossest person doesn't sit beside me. And so, when the gaggle of people get on the bus and I see a nice, clean looking person I will create more space for them. Is this horrible? Probably. Or is it just horrible because I'm writing it out loud? Exactly.

In other news we have seen one or two of these suckers around the basement.




They scurry. It's ridiculously creepy. Every time I see one, I cover my ears subconsciously I guess because I'm afraid it's going to run up my body and into my ear where it will lay eggs and my brain will slowly degenerate and I'll die and then the scientists who get my body (oh yeah! They can take it, I don't care. Why not? I mean, once the ice cream's gone, why keep the box? The ice cream is fucking GONE), the scientists who get my body will open my brain and then the bugs will run out and up into their ears and so on and so on.

Anyway, we didn't know what they were called, these bugs, so Ciaran started calling them "scuttlebugs" which is a pretty apt name. Turns out they're house centipedes. And perhaps I've written about them before. But yeah, we call them scuttlebugs. Oh and I looked up "scuttlebug"? Turns out that in urban terminology it means "the act of placing or attempting to place one's testicles inside the anus or vagina of a female sex partner."

WOW.

We're still calling them scuttlebugs anyway.
