Eight minutes to spluge

Spluge is a word I created. It means to type random thoughts so as to ease the enormous pressure on my brain-thing. I think. Anywho, I like to wander around and think about it, dolphins have no hands, and yet they still swim without lettuce is the only vegetable that is never sold frozen or canned, only fresh. Tommorow I'm going to start the 10 in 10 challenge. Ten significant pieces of writing in ten days. I think that the most tasty thing in the field of battle would have to be the food. Corpses and dirt may very well be good, but I would rather feast upon hardtack and raw stew. My mind is speaking in riddles but my fingers tell a different tale. It calls to those who cannot hear and bids them farewell in the strictest sense of the word. I cannot keep typing, alas, because my eight miutes is almost up. Anyway, I don't have as much in my head, I huge-spluged last night.

Political Opinions

No, I am not going to say who I support, or which party I think is better. I simply want to rant about the way the president is treated. For eight years, former president Bush was called everything from idiotic to conivingly evil. This, in and of itself, is perfectly fine and legal, due to the First Amendment. However, when this message is being put across, not in words, or arguments, or any rational way whatsoever, it changes. When you draw a cartoon showing George Bush as a big-eared buffoon, or when you have such pictures on your website, you're no longer really saying that he is incompetent, you have moved on to showing how idiotic you really are. There is nothing wrong with practising your Constitutional rights, but degrading someone for no reason other than you disagree with them is despicable. To say you disagree, and then move on and obey the law passed or accept what happened because he was elected by the majority of the nation is mature and a much nicer thing to do. George Bush is not the only president (former or not) to recieve such critisism, whether it be earned or not, but he seems to have gotten the most. You may not agree with me on these views, but, if you comment and tell me how wrong and stupid and (insert your own expletive) I am, then you're just showing how little you think about others, and how selfish you really are. I would, however, like to welcome any comments of a rational and mature nature, whether you agree or not.

(Not so)Lucky Larry Bites the Proverbial Dust

I ran another Call of Cthulhu scenario for the same player as before, again playing Larry. This time, he got a letter from England (his native soil) to come and investigate a man's dissappearance. When he arrived he immediately set to work looking around and reading various papers that the man had in his desk (including the infamous play, "The King in Yellow"). When night fell, he discovered a body and set off into the nearby woods hot on the trail of the killer. Unfortuanately, the killer happened to be a warped and horrible terror of the Cthuloid type. Larry was killed, and his little dog too.

Enter Adolf (no, he's not a german), a bounty hunter from America currently working off some problems in the British police system. He was called by Larry directly before he went into the woods. After a short interrogation of the lady of the house, Adolf went off after Larry. In the clearing he found Larry's body (as well as that of his dog), but no horrible monster. On his way back to the house, Adolf saw someone climbing in through and open window and soon chased him.

Inside, Adolf confronted Larry's killer and, eventually, killed him. He then picked up a few things and left. One of the things he took was an old tome, written in latin. Although he could not read it, Adolf soon found a student at the nearby college that agreed to translate it for him. Unfortunately, the student was driven insane by what was written in the tome, and hauled off to a sanitarium.
