PHHH # 1120.9 Date: 11/12/6 Wipi Set Hounded by Sjorn Dork, HeyYoPaully (better late than never), Delicut Sikee (or Ginger Beard?), X-ploading Fete, Hand Solo Weather: rain Time: about an hour Venue: Sondek park to the swamp and back I nearly bit it today. Wipi led us into a swamp, or was it a fen, or a bog? It was definitely a wetland. The only sign of human life in the place was occasional white flour disintigrating in the rain and a solitary birthday balloon which had floated in from a faraway suburb. Though not so cold, there was no sun in the sky and the visibility was less than a meter in any direction due to fog, thorns, and the pissing rain; I was afraid I was a goner. Only Dork, Exploding Feet, and I ventured in to follow Wipi's trail, and I, being the heaviest of the group by 5-10 kg, was sinking faster, and further into the mud. With each step, each movement, I only managed to twist myself deeper into the clutches of the unyielding, unfeeling methane-spiked muck. Aphixiation on this atmosphere of Uranus and the oozing waves of cold black water tugged me gently toward death and dream. And in my dream I had a vision of a fair princess, bathed in light with beautiful blue eyes and red flowing hair. She spoke to me in a strange tongue. Wide eyed, I stared, transfixed and amazed. Then, she stopped, and said, "Forrest, when the hell are you gonna learn dutch? FORREST!! It's me, Heleen, have you forgotten me!? Get your ass out of that swamp right now, before I hop on the next flight out of Nairobi, and beat you senseless." Rudely awakened from my would be final rest, I realized what a shitty hash it was, and trudged on, following the white powder dots like a cocaine addict followes a line. Hand Solo and HYP thoughtfully shortcutted the ill-fated trip into the swamp, while EF, SD, and I barely escaped with our lives. A pointless loop led us eventually to the other side of Sondek park, where Wipi introduced us to his only friends, a family of badgers with a taste for Arizona ice tea. In the badgers' house, we wolfed down multiple bags of cookies and jars of salsa, while Solo talked about having two houses and the difficulty of keeping his hoes in line in each of the respective area codes. And after realizing that only Solo and HYP had not yet watched Borat, we all reenacted our favorite parts of the movie. I regret seeing Exploding Feet and Sjorn Dork demonstrating their parts in a mock-up of the hotel scene. Paully was excited by the rubber forearm, and Solo agreed, saying he'd like to change his name to Fist Solo. Anyone want to set next week?
