Adventure of the Day

[Clirkus]

Yesterday I promised some of my lovely Spammers that I would go on an adventure today and then tell them about it, so here it is. Enjoy.

I had absolutely no plans when I woke up this morning, other than I knew I was going to do something other than sit around the house all day. I recalled a few items that needed returning so I used them as an excuse to go out. However, I didn't really feel like going by myself, so I called up my best friend. Sick. My other good friend was at college so that wasn't going to work out. Then I remembered a friend from one of my classes. We get along very well, both of us being fans of Doctor Who, Sherlock, LOTR, and anything out of the ordinary. So I called her up (yes, it's a her. no, she's not my girlfriend), told her I wanted to have an adventure and being the cool person she is, she said yes.

We were a sight, I'll say, with my trench coat and her sort of 4th Doctor fashion style.

So I picked her up and we drove to the mall, I returned stuff, and since one of those return items was a book, we ended up at Barnes & Noble. So we poured over all the shelves of fiction and biographies and fantasy novels and talking to each other in extraordinarily bad British accents. I had no idea what I wanted, and after browsing everything I still didn't. Then it hit me.


Sherlock Holmes, volumes 1 & 2. (Yah, I know, phone takes crappy pictures) The best bit is that my exchange money covered them both, with three bucks to spare

Anyway, then we went to this tea shop thing 'cause she was gonna get some tea for her mom, still talking in awful British accents, when we actually run into a group of authentic Brits. Boy, that was awkward, but also hilarious.

After that, we got Cinnabons, and she recited and performed this poem from me. In the middle of the food court.

All my pwoblems
who knows, maybe evwybody's pwoblems
is due to da fact, due to da awful twuth
dat I am SPIDERMAN.
I know. I know. All da dumb jokes:
No flies on you, ha ha,

But you twy being
SPIDERMAN for a month or two. Go ahead.

You get doze cwazy calls fwom da
Gubbener askin you to twap some booglar who's
only twying to wip off color T.V. sets.
Now, what do I cawre about T.V. sets?
But I pull on da suit, da stinkin suit,
wit da sucker cups on da fingers,
and get my wopes and wittle bundle of
equipment and den I go flying like cwazy
acwoss da town fwom woof top to woof top.

Till der he is. Some poor dumb color T.V. slob
and I fall on him and we westle a widdle
until I get him all woped. So big deal.

You tink when you SPIDERMAN
der's sometin big going to happen to you.
Well, I tell you what. It don't happen dat way.
Nuttin happens. Gubbener calls, I go.
Bwing him to powice, Gubbener calls again,
like dat over and over.

I tink I twy sometin diffunt. I tink I twy
sometin excitin like wacing cawrs. Sometin to make
my heart beat at a difwent wate.
But den you just can't quit being sometin like
SPIDERMAN.
You SPIDERMAN for life. Fowever. I can't even
buin my suit. It won't buin. It's fwame wesistent.
So maybe dat's youwr pwoblem too, who knows.
Maybe dat's da whole pwoblem wif evwytin.
Nobody can buin der suits, dey all fwame wesistent.
Who knows?

I gave her a standing ovation, then we wandered around for a bit, talking about how we should organize a flash mob, maybe a Cyberman invasion or somthing XD and eventually made our way back to the car.

Now, I did talk to a few strangers, but the conversations didn't last as long as I had hoped, so mostly I just stared creepily at people. Anyway, on our way home we stopped at a Walgreens to pick up some cough medicine for my sister. We stalked some random guy in there for a bit, and I found this:

Nope, didn't buy it, but I was tempted. Those are actually eyeholes too.

The rest was relatively uneventful, I dropped her off, then was tailgated by some moronic semi-truck driver all the way home -_- which sucked, because my road is on a busy highway with no bypass lane. The good news is I didn't get run over.

And here I am, telling you all and fulfilling my promise that I'd do something fun today. Now I'm gonna go eat something.

I'm glad you made it back alive.

I really want a senator to just read that fucking poem during a filibuster.

I'd vote for him.

I just hope they actually go back to the old filibuster rules where you have to stand and talk if you want to halt shit. Now they basically just have to pass an anonymous note forward saying "hi, filibuster :3" and everything gets fucked unless they have a super majority to say fuck your filibuster.

But if a senator read that in session I would totally vote for him too.

Aww, they changed the rule? I just remembered the asshole who read a phone book for 2 days straight to stop the civil rights votes

I like having adventures. I'll admit this isn't the best one I've had, but it's still a pretty good one.
