Song For Junior

Spent the afternoon in Greenwood, IN, getting measured for my tux, and then checking out the local mall. They got a nice mall in Greenwood. Had an Applebee's in it, and for some reason there were kiosks around the store selling used books, movie posters, and other stuff you'd expect to see in a comic book convention or something

Oh dear God, the sea salt people. I got jumped at Christmas by one of them. I got hugged by a gay man selling sea salt facial scrubs, even though I didn't buy anything. It made for a surreal day.

That's gotta be them, then. I mean, what's with the whole Q&A thing? Just tell me my face looks like a mess and that I can rub salt on my face to fix it, or whatever. For a minute, I thought she was gonna start telling me the benefits of Scientology, or inform me that Israel is really Palestine, but the Zionist-controlled media has brainwashed me. That's how bizarre this was.

easy fix.

I learned how to rebuff all of those kinds of salesmen. With your most sincere face, just tell them, "I'm sorry, but my God forbids me to talk to kiosk people."

I'm still undefeated since going to that technique. And the looks on their face our priceless. When you're told that you're the exact person that someone's God has on the black list... it's like knocking them backwards on the evolutionary scale.

I've been really worried that the sea would get too much salt in it, since it doesn't evaporate so there's all this salt in there since the beginning of time, or at least of water. I'm glad these people are doing their bit to keep the sea less saline.

(where'd I stick that rolleyes emoticon? I just had it...)

Oh god, the infamous Snape-as-Jafar picture. Thank you so much, I now have to scrub my brain with bleach AGAIN.

I can't remember the product name of the sea-salt stuff she was hawking, but I've definitely seen it at my store. When Bath and Body was near my department, I had to arrange and rearrange those bitty little boxes all the time, and man was it a pain.

Oh god, the infamous Snape-as-Jafar picture.

I never noticed before, but the robe under his school robe is striped.

I never did like the Bearded Snape pics, not even the funny one where he's rearing back and aiming his wand. Our boy's clean-shaven, end of discussion. This was obviously an imposter.

At least you'll die with a belly full of Sizzleteat & Felkmeyer's Patented Wooly-Booly Wart-Infested Crumbcakes, the pastry so sweet it lures ants to crawl down your throat while you sleep.

Heh. Funny. And really disturbing.

SIRIUS BLACK: SCOURGE OF DRAPERY.

How ironic. Maybe it was revenge.

[sistermagpie]

Just what I was thinking. That JKR--sets everything up!

ha ha ha... you beat me to it.

Book 5: The Drapery Strikes Back

[merenwen_81]

When I was living alone, I once got this old man standing behind my door. "Is your mum or dad here?" he asked and I truthfully said they weren't. So he went away. That's the only time me looking about 10 (I was 23 at the time) has come in handy when dealing with people selling something or possibly trying to save my soul. I never found out what it was that he wanted.

For some reason, I really love Snape's Grudge though nothing much happens. It's all the people telling Harry what an ass he is, though sadly he doesn't learn anything. I think Snape makes the "maybe he got it straight from the manufacturers" comment, because he knows who the Marauders were though I'm not sure why he let Lupin leave with the map if he does. You'll learn about the incident known as The Prank later on. Not to go all fangirl on you (except I totally am), but the part where Lupin tells the boys he needs to talk about their vampire essay was used as "evidence" in the Snape is a vampire theory.
