you all suck and i rule
Geez.
Thanks a lot, people.
You start an innocent game of Hide and Seek.
You find a great hiding spot.
And then you wait.
And then you wait some more.
And then you discover that your previous waiting was merely a prelude to the true waiting.
And then… you realise that NOBODY HAS TOLD YOU THE GAME WAS OVER.
THANKS A WHOLE FREAKING LOT, PEOPLE!
I was under that bed for TEN DAYS!
It didn’t cross any of your minds to possibly yell out “Olly olly oxen free”??
I’m really dusty and really REALLY hungry.
Stupid sore losers. Just because I’m the best-everer Hide-and-Seeker doesn’t mean you leave me out there to ROT!
I MISSED CHRISTMAS!
Everyone else got to have turkey and stuffing and Christmas cookies and presents and hugs and ham and I DIDN’T GET TO HAVE NOTHING!
NOTHING BUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I WON AND EVERYONE ELSE LOST! SUCKERS! YOU SUCK! I RULE! I AM THE BESTEST! YOU ALL CAN EAT MY-
[Furious whispering.]
What?
[Even more furious whispering.]
Oh.
[Pause.]
… Ahem.
It appears… that when one initiates a game of Hide And Seek… the first recommended action is to inform the other participants of the… existence… and… start of the game.
Heh.
My bad.
…
I still rule.

What?

Well, Sween, if you’re still really hungry, I have it on good authority that 5 remnants of fruitcakes are making their way to my abode even as we speak. Feel free to stop by.

We still have lots of cookies left. Want some?
I wondered what happened. I thought you were just passed out from eggnog.

welcome back monkey pants - we did miss you….
I never realised you were HIDING — sneaky monkey…
It would have been ironic if Charleton Heston would have been the one to find you …

But hey - at least you missed the turkey casserole, turkey soup, cold pumpkin and the dry stuffing leftovers.
And the cookies…

RJ: Nothing someone likes more than to see their attempts at obliquitude fly straight over the heads of their readers. Success!
Suldog: Eep. Where’s that hiding place?
lightspring: I can honestly say… and I think this is a first since I was at my mother’s teat… I had NO EGGNOG this year. It’s sad.
g-dog: Ironic… or campy social commentary?
SassyK: …Turkey cookies?

Yes you do rule! Rule like the rulingest ruler that ever ruled.
Even if you did abandon us for many days to be left to our own devices. Which SUCKED.
So maybe on second thought you DON’T rule. So there.
*blinkblink* sorry man…the chocolate ran out a couple days ago.

Hey — no chocolate forgives much.
