First, let me thank you all for coming in to audition. Looks like a great group of actors here.
You will all be trying out for parts in our edgy new play, Peter Pain.
Excuse me Mr. Director, I think there’s a typo here. Don’t you mean Peter PAN?
No. We’re staging the scenes of Peter and Tinkerbell flying in a whole new way. They’ll be hanging from piercings in the skin on their backs.
Ewwwwwww!!!! What is the artistic logic behind that?
Well, for one thing, it gives a whole new meaning to the name “Captain Hook.”
Okay actors, who wants to audition first? Has everybody had their tetanus shot? Remember, make sure you only fly over that big plastic tarp, so we don’t have to mop up the whole stage…

Noooooo!!!!! What is seen cannot be unseen.
“Get hooked, join the OE Blog Network”
What piercing reporting.
I am going to try to unsee this Dave, and pray the airlines don’t see it. Business, coach and the new hang glider rider class.
He is doing Spider-man all wrong!
Wow. Those hooks have got to be through a fair chunk of skin not to be ripping straight through.
Spin … Cinderella and Bambi hanging from the ceiling by hooks? Now you’re talking!
Oh dear. This helps explain why the doctors have asked me not to take vacations and leave you all unguarded. I’m feeling guilty already.
BG, we are behaving nicely today and playing well with others.
Vacation at the Tattoo Convention? BG get off the pc and get that tat finished!
justCAM… Bambi hanging from the ceiling by hooks means the restaurant serves venison.
Upon seeing those pictures, the shooting,..umm… piercing pains in my lower back just got less painful.
And, “hook” my son up to that holey convention!
Spin… not a good thing to think of, first thing in the morning…Bambi and Cindi on the hooks… when I havent even had coffee!!!
I saw how veal was made yesterday…. and I cant decide what to think about it…. I dont even eat beef/pork or veal!!!
A bit??? You say a bit??? Imagining Cindi swinging from the hooks… while Prince Charming mops the floor continuously has scarred me for life…
Actually…if you do it right you wouldn’t have that much blood to mop up.
E.
I thought it was Bambi’s mom that got the hook.
Crowgirl was lacking a harness for her brushcutter at the weekend. Maybe she can just stick a meat hook through her hip and attach it to that.
It’s okay, I found the harness today when we were dismantling the milking parlour.
Shra, they “make” veal the same way they make beef, it’s just a lot quicker and easier ‘cos the cows are so much smaller and lighter.
Baz, I can’t tell ya how, and I can’t tell ya why, but this post has actually inspired me. Thank you! Mwah!!
E.
Yeah CG, saw River Cottage the other day… Well, lets just say I am not keen on red meat….
E, you are really scaring me…. telling me you are only getting a piercing and not “hooking” up?
Too true Spinster…they are indeed a personal matter. So are my piercings come to think of it…
E.
Nah, we all know ifly only has eyes for Shra
Any hey, I only have…three piercings…it’s not what you think!! Honest!
E.
E – I wonder if it’s the same three that I have ?
Shra – I hate to break it to you like this, but white meat is just as dead !
Spin… I aint saying a word…
CG, yeah I know… but somehow chickens dont look as adorable as cows and the other 4 legged animals…
Good morning OE’ers!! I’m having such a depressing day that my head is not in work-mode and so I am going to challenge myself to see how much time I can waste today.
Anyone wanna open a book on it?
ifly is strangely silent on the issue of his eyes…but no, my stilettos aren’t red. They’re pink. Which is funny, because I hate pink!! Well actually, only the stilletto part is pink, the shoe is black the strap is shimmery multi-coloured fabric. Pretty!
Lou, I’ll take a closer look at your FB pics and let you know if our piercings match. Still haven’t heard from my dad on the sausage recipe.
E.
I wanna waste time too… soooooo bored!
Strangely, a lot of people asked me today when i finish up and when I said next friday, they all were like “counting days, eh”?… I didnt say this out loud… but I woulda liked to scream, “YOU BETCHA!!”
Shra, why not scream it out?! You’ll feel better and they’ll leave you alone for the next…8.5 days that you have left
Spinster, my spirits have lifted. Medi-donoughts helped but so did my hour in the sun for lunch. Lovely!! (And no I am not going to think about how I’m stuck back at work for the afternoon!!)
E.
You know what… if I was a beer lover… all I would want to do during lunch break is go and sit in one of the pubs here and have a beer and people watch….
So many tourists here that I almost feel like a native… teeheehee…
But seriously… I could actually do that right now… just that I dont like beer… and no suitable company around… Did I mention there are loads of dumb guys around?
Ahh… lunch in the sunshine… a glass of vodka and lemonade… a few choice Mr.Fab Abs strutting around with their bare minimums on….
Blissss!
Shra…I live in Ireland. Not many Fab Abs here.
E.
I know E… I saw the lack of it mahself…
Not that there are any better here… though they do wear their kilts.. and I must say, they look verrry cute..
Off to find some adorable chicken pics for Shra…
No No CG!!! You want me to turn vegetarian? I cant give up my chicken… not that I havent tried… I have… after seeing chick pics…
But.. but… but…. I cant resist chicken…
Next time you’re in Dublin Shra, I’ll make you my famous Chicken Fried Rice.
I’m a steak girl myself, having been born and bred in cattle country! (That’s Alberta, Canada to the rest of you folks
)
Mmmmmm steak! I think I know what I’m having for dinner tonight!
:drool:
E.
Thanks E!! Let that be on the menu for next time then!!!
