2006: Double the Pratchett, Double the Fun!


I wonder if Amazon delivers to caves....

September? man thats a long way away. He told me it was done when saw him last year. Bah!

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Well then, blame the publisher.

[justicefornone.livejournal.com]

damn you Publisher. I Needs Feegle Storys!!!

[chinchilla82.livejournal.com]

Okay, I can wait until September whilst I scramble to play catch up. :B

Of course they do. It's part of their own little plan of world domination. Personally, I prefer it to be them rather than our own...ahem...wonderful government.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Hmm, now that you mention it, maybe a cave isn't such a good idea... they tend to get suspicious of people who live in caves and do stuff like fire missiles at them.

Er...

Cave Delivery

[thefordmustang.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am one of the contracted Amazon mail couriers who delivers books and CDs to cave dwellers,though I have not done this in Canada yet mainly Missouri, Iceland and Turkey. I think it is the Gloom of Night clause- so both me and the Icelandic pack ponies have to wear head lamps. It gets a bit hairy and is slightly fatal if we make a wrong turn but otherwise it pays really well. And having a copy of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" usually gets us out of most bad situations.

Since I am part of the Spelunking Delivery Service we have to work in all conditions. The contract has a Rain clause, a Snow Clause, a Heat Clause (useful when volcanoes erupt driving people underground) the aforesaid Gloom Clause (helps with delivering to the Bat Cave) and such but I don't do too much beach cave delivery work because (and please don't let little kids know this) there is no Sandy Clause.

Yay! It'll be my birthday present to myself :)

Imagine if Amazon and Google combined into a super power to take over the world? Ebay would be their Secretary of Treasury and Barnes and Noble their Secretary of Defense. Ehehe... :3

Yes, they are very suspicious of people living in caves. I suggest...Mongolia. No one bothers with poor Mongolia, other than our own president's five minute visit where he looked around and said, "Yeah, they're poor. But they don't have any nuclear missiles, so let's move on." And they have steppes, yaks, and tents. And don't forget fermented mare's milk and butter tea. Best things ever! ^______^

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

Yay! This post may have just helped me make a vital decision about college!

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

I imagine Mongolia is the international equivalent of Idaho.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Looks a lot like it, too. Steppe can be lovely sometimes.

Fewer yaks in Idaho, though, I'd imagine. And Idahoans never almost took over the world. More interesting national costume in Mongolia, too... on the other hand, Mongolia doesn't have nearly as many greasy spoons.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

0_0 ... Really?

YOUR ICON RULES, by the way.

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

Probably they have about the same number of strange toothless men. That's what I remember most about Idaho...

[ari-enchanted.livejournal.com]

LOL, thanks.

Yes, I've been debating about whether to take a year off before going to college or not, but I definately need to be in Canada, working on a Celtic Studies degree when a book about small blue quasi-Scottish men comes out. It's clearly destiny.

[disneyboy.livejournal.com]

Sounds cool (literally and figuratively!) Unfortunately, I'm sure I'll still be about 498 Pratchett books behind by September...well, at least I won't be bored waiting!

[ardys-the-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Coolness.

Dang, I better get reading if I want to catch up by then.

*scrambles for the bookshelf*

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

All you'll need to catch up with are the Tiffany books, which shouldn't take you too long... there are only two of them, and they're relatively short.

Re: Cave Delivery

[ardys-the-ghoul.livejournal.com]

*is speechless*

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

There are so many cool things in that post I can't even begin to comment on them all.

[ardys-the-ghoul.livejournal.com]

Ah, so that's okay then.

I'll just have to hitch a ride to the nearest Borders, then.

Re: Cave Delivery

[disneyboy.livejournal.com]

Are you serious?? I totally thought you were kidding at first, making up a crazy story worthy of Pratchett (or some post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie), but, then, your life in Iceland is pretty remarkable! Either way, I want dibs on the movie rights!

[thefordmustang.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the kind words!

** Feels better about that mail delivery to the world's deepest cave in Caucausus Georgia ***

Re: Cave Delivery

[thefordmustang.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thanks for the nice words! My life is not that exciting, at least not until I get to move to Iceland full time for good and ever. Now it is a part time existence.

Cool! I get to have a movie about me! Yippers! Is it animated? If you do a movie of "Going Postal" can I work on the set?


And yes, this cave delivery stuff is all very, very true- at least for my alter ego. :-)

Re: Cave Delivery

[disneyboy.livejournal.com]

When I'm in charge, hey, I'll cast you in the movie! No problem!;)

Re: Cave Delivery

[thefordmustang.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I could probably play myself pretty well and definately do a voice over of myself easily! :-)

If it is the Going Postal movie, though, I honestly think I would not physically match any of the characters. Mentally, yes. Physically, nope.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

You could be the girl who asks Miss Maccalariat if the Post Office embraces divertingly.

(er ... you are a girl, right? I seem to have gotten that impression...)

[thefordmustang.livejournal.com]

Of course! That would fit, I think. Or, if I put on aging make up the women who loves to say that the post office is MAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

And, yup. I am female. Guilty as charged. If I were a guy there were thousands of roles I could play, but such is life.

Though I think I would be a killer (no pun intended) Adora Belle Dearheart if it were animation voice over since I talk with a low husky European accented voice and have the same sort of sarcastic humor without the bitterness. I used to crack up the geek boys in high school with my Bette Davis and Mae Davis impressions. Physically- nope since I am not the right age and have blond hair and am not tall and don't smoke- I just sound like I do.
