Yeah, I think I can make that deal.

Cool. In the meantime, I'm going to keep trying to make this SN thing an actual story rather than a loose collection of crappy scenes.

Gold Bond lotion sometimes helps when nothing else does.

Lord, I just saw Sunday's ROBOT CHICKEN, which is one I hadn't seen before, and damn that was one SERIOUSLY dark take on Calvin and Hobbes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You'd have a really tough time getting the 2nd arm with the circular saw.

True. There'd have to be some kind of Rube Goldbergian contraption involved.

I have taken a hair dryer to myself. Aside from the killing of the itch (so far, pretty good, I remain hopeful), it really highlights where the rash is. I look pretty awful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

damn that was one SERIOUSLY dark take on Calvin and Hobbes.

Was that the one with the mental institution? I was pointed to it on YouTube. I really should have been watching the show all along, shouldn't I?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Peanuts sketch was even darker.

It worked? Woot!

You're not wrong.

So far. I'm still a little itchy in places, but that's probably because I didn't torture myself enough. You're not kidding about "itch itch itch hot hot OW OW OW...huh."

ita yes, and yes you should have been watching it all along. Seth is one adorable twisted little fucker. The DVDs are worth getting for the extras (big group commentaries with Seth as ring master).

The Peanuts sketch was even darker.

I dunno, that's a tough call. Maybe the dancing in hell epilogue tips it.

Seriously -- I first tried it IN the allergist's office, because when I had the skin-prick test for allergens I reacted severely. I mean the nurse came in the room, saw my arm, and said "OH MY GOD!"

Obviously, it itched horribly, and I couldn't stand it. The allergist jumped at the chance to show me the hairdryer trick (he claims to have "invented" it -- hello, ego), and my reaction was pretty much "This is annoying....nothing is happening....getting hot....still itchy....WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?!?!?....wait -- where'd the itch go?" It's like it just suddenly recedes. It's weird.
