The Chinal Pearl Inn part 8

[sharingfantasies]

Crickets as big as Buicks, wolverines, bull deer, carnivorous sheep - and aren't there dinosaurs in them thar hills?

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised. I know there are a lot of dinosaur tracks north of here. So, who knows what is in the forest around here. Next thing will be bears or mountain lions I suppose.

 

[BigBadBadger]

That was no racoon it was Badger in disguise.

I believe it. That thing was bigger than any raccoon we had in the city.
And badgers are larger than raccoons? Yikes!!!!

well these Crickets aren't going to find themselves...

*suspects SF has them on her person*

 

[sharingfantasies]

No, those are daddy long leg spiders. I hate things that jump, especially crickets. If I had one of those on me, I would be jumping around freaking out.

 

[CFMB_fan]

Why are you pinching yourself?

Just to make sure I'm awake

At this moment in time I need a 7.62 Sharpshooter Rifle

 

[sharingfantasies]

Sharpshooter rifle? What on earth are you doing?

7.62 seems a bit under-calibre to me...

 

[chris2c4u]

He's hunting crickets.

 

[sharingfantasies]

Won't that thing put holes in my walls?

 

[chris2c4u]

Won't that thing put holes in my walls?

Ventilation.

 

[sharingfantasies]

I have enough leaky places around my windows and doors. I don't need ventilation in the walls. Jeez, I would have crickets EVERYWHERE!

A neighbour has left their dog outside, who for the best part of an hour has been barking away...

So a .fiftty is a tad OTT, actually, a 7.62 is

Presents SF an anti-Cricket device.

 

[sharingfantasies]

That I can understand. After Badger takes care of the cricket, he can go after the neighbor's dog that barks all the time also. And then he can find that sheep, if it is out there.

surely that is an "Actual" Cricket device

Have I mentioned how slow I am? Crickets move faster than lizards.

Badger, you need to get on commission.

*Chuckles rather loudly*

[BigBadBadger]

Badger, you need to get on commission.

my invoice will follow, I accept all major forms of payment, and some of the more unconventional ones

 

[sharingfantasies]

Badger, you need to get on commission.

He can get it from the ECB Premier Leagues. They have more money than I do.

Who said anything about money

 

[sharingfantasies]

I could pay you off with books, I suppose. I have lots of those. Not many I want to part with though.

Do you have a favourite book?

 

[sharingfantasies]

No, I couldn't narrow it down. As a kid I would say Treasure Island. As an adult, no way. I read about 300 books a year. I have some favorite authors, but no specific book.

 

[chris2c4u]

I'm similar but if pressed I could name a couple of special books

 

[sharingfantasies]

The book I couldn't get through was the Pickwick Papers. Maybe if I read it as an adult, but as a teen it was just too laborious to get through. I mostly read mystery/detective type books.
