Oh my, don't even think of scaring me like that again! I have a wild imagination and am about to go to bed, who knows what might appear in my dream.
.. I have to admit you've thought of it really wicked, though.

Ha ha/I beg your pardon.

Think of it appearing to clean up your room or kitchen while you sleep. (It also sings a series of slow, melodic, minor key Elvis Presley songs.)

Was there any misunderstandings?
Anyhow, that is tempting, the creature cleaning up my mess while singing quietly but it's still a rather scary thought. Just imagine what would it want for payment, ripping someone's guts out and eating them?

The way I figure it, if it wanted to engage in gut-ripping, it would just do it and forego the services exchange.

Unless it's shier than it seems... maybe it would want YOU to rip someone's guts out and feed it. Yeah, that makes sense.

Jesus Christ! ME ripping guts out of somebody to feed my room-cleaning creature?! Where are the good times when it was enough to buy a few tins of cat food? *faints*

I just thought I'd mention that despite the blodshed, I'm starting to rather enjoy our conversation. It might actually help with making my nightmares more bearable. Thanks.

Don't worry, I'm sure that for a little extra cash you can get artificial, high vitamin, guts in a reasonably realistic mannequin. I mean, you can't be the only Skia-vacuum-beast owner to have that problem.

Most people who make monsters and body parts and horror films and the like were nervous kids that had nightmares. They grasped control by learning the fear inside and out, and then manipulating it to serve them.

Humor also helps. he he.

I've enjoyed this dialog as well.

Hmm... that might actually work. The neighbours are going to be giving me extra weird lookd when I'll be delivered those mannequins, but at least I won't have to kill anyone. Also, I'd feel much better to know my beastie is getting enough vitamins If it got sick for eating crappy, nutritionally low guts, I'd have a really hard time getting it to a doctor.

Really? That's nice, I'd like to be able to do that. Learn the fear inside out and be able to control it. Maybe then I could finally watch Pan's labyrinth without having my eyes closed for the whole time.

Humor is a great thing, though one needs to be carefull about it. Never forget that if you can laugh at something, it doesn't mean it can't bite you in the rear. I had to learn that hard way, distrustful as I am.

I'm glad we both have.

If you bring the mannequins in at night, then you'll seem like a svengali or a murderer. I suppose you could order them online, and then they would arrive in boxes. Of course they'd better come when you're home, since I doubt that Beastie food keeps well.

In the end, while the thrilling smell of the fear of prey is intoxicating, I think your pet will thank you for it's shiny coat, cleat teeth, and quick vanishing and appearing ability.

Pan's Labyrinth is totally worth it, too. I cut my teeth on retro monster films. All the way back with Frankenstein, Dracula, and Godzilla.

Humor is a coping or social mechanism. It doesn't actually reveal truths or change one's position. Much to the chagrin of political comedians everywhere.

I'll do so, thanks for the advice. My beastie will be doing terrific after being fed so well.

I'll take your word on that one, no way I'm watching it. The cratures are too well animatied for my liking. I love Godzilla, though. Its head looks kind of square in some scenes, but it's a wonderful movie anyway.

It certainly does change one's position very concerningly if one's making fun out of big, tough, evil guys. Meh, political comedians, they're doing it for money, not to change something... Also, I've never heard the word chagrin before. Thanks for enlarging my vocabulary.

Chagrin is a good word. I've always been fond of it.

I think some political comedians, or regular comedians that get occasionally political, do sort of do it to change things... but it's also to feed a need in themselves. I think that most entertainers have to do something political or charitable to feel like what they're doing with their lives matters. The path of least resistance is to put political material in your routine, and that's even a good idea, but it still creates a political discourse that is based on funny not factual. And some times just angry or arrogant rather than funny. heh.

Go Godzilla!

Ha ha ha, yeah, going around pointing your finger at thugs and beasts, then laughing is a recipe for a broken face.

Beastie will be on its way to a blue ribbon at the.... thing ... show.

I agree, there's always the need to feel like one's life matters. It's funny how those who are most certain their lives matter are at the same time doing nothing productive or important at all. Personally, I don't really care, my life matters a lot to me and that's not that bad, I guess.

Didn't I tell you? I'm taking my beastie to a thing show next week and I'm sure it'll be one of the wonderfulest creatures there. Besides the special diet you've introduced to me I've been brushing it's fur every day. I don't want to brag, but it looks, well, as gorgeous as a thing like that possibly can.

ErnestAbacus In reply to BlackSheep6 [2012-11-29 00:37:04 +0000 UTC]

ha ha ha, so can we assume that people who believe their lives matter feel no need to pay their way through it?

SO then is insecurity part of the key to success? (bit of a jump there, but I think it's good one)

Whoah! How'd the beastie show go? How much does it shed? and do its hairs get in everything or do they turn incorporeal and drift away?

BlackSheep6 In reply to ErnestAbacus [2012-12-06 12:43:16 +0000 UTC]

One can surely assume anything one feels like it, as long as it amuses them.
I don't know if insecurity really does the thing, but it has done in certain cases. Maybe it's because insecure people don't feel like eveything they do is perfect and they try to improve their thing.

The beastie show went terrific, he/she, erm, IT won the pink ribbon!! The highest prize for beasties there is! I was so proud! Later, I fed it a special gut-treat with sprinkles as a reward for being a good beastie and not ripping the guts out of the people in the first row.
Ah, it doesn't shed much, it's very healthy. The hair that do fall off tend to have weird things happening to them, last time they turned into little worms and ate some flooring. I had some trouble removing them and repairing the hole later.

ErnestAbacus In reply to BlackSheep6 [2012-12-09 22:35:26 +0000 UTC]

Ought we assume, then.(Is an amusing assumption a subject of amussement{Pronounced: Ah-Me-Yooss-ment}?)

I wonder about that too. When I am all insecurity and no confidence, I tend to go stand somewhere else. If, on the other hand, I am all confidence and fully secure, I tend to not be interested in staying good at it. So, then there must be a state wherein I am confident, but insecure. That's whenever I do something right. heh.

I bet it looked adorable... or maybe just ironic, (hilarious?) wearing a pink ribbon. Did any of the hair-worms survive? If they ate flooring they might be worth breeding into plastic eaters for recycle/composting!

BlackSheep6 In reply to ErnestAbacus [2012-12-15 16:43:35 +0000 UTC]

Haha, a cross word between amusing and assumption, it has such a nice ring to it, should be put into some dictionary.

Yes, a state somewhere in between confidence and insecurity would be the best for production of... basically everything. I wonder why life is so hard and complicated.

The sight was an exemplary picture of adorable, not ironic a bit. As soon as irony got itself too close to my beastie, it hissed at it and then irony ran away screaming. That's a great idea you've had but I'm afraid the flooring they ate was wood and therefore only a pain in my neck (and wallet), not useful for recycling. I might have better luck next time I'm brushing its fur, I'll tell beastie if it can make the shedded hair turn into plastic-eating worms, I'll be able to sell them and make enough money to buy premium flavoured guts for its lunch every single day.

It's a word that wouldn't come up much, but there are times where I wish I'd had it to finish off a sentence or a thought.

Life is not made for our ease. I think that's why it is hard. Complicated is just what it takes for things to be alive. heh. I don't mind complicated much. We're built to deal with that.

what does Irony's scream sound like?

Your beastie is quite versatile! It has so much control of its body's peculiarities, I wish I could just tell my hair to grow or fall out, let alone turn into whole designer organisms.

Where did you get this creature?
