What a wonderful day for SHOW. Rainy and spooky outside. All the better to cuddle with my Winchesters. :)
Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Yes, SHOW. Two weeks has rarely seemed so long.
It's scary Amy, if this is two weeks without SHOW, what is the real hiatus going to feel like?
Let's not speak of it. This summer was bad enough.
Hey, I'm all excited about New Show! tonight, but it's got me remembering something that may have been a bad decision.
H and I were at the yard art place--old junk, repurposed junk, new junk with a fake old patina, all jumbled up and marked up an atrocious amount, you know, for junk. I stumbled on this circular piece of rusty metal about 30 inches diameter. It was a pentagram, the five-pointed star in the center cut, folded, and welded three-dimensional, circled by a three-inch or so solid band edged in a hollow rope design. At the top of the band were letters in wanted poster gothic, spelling in all-caps, "WINCHESTER"(!). H thought it was probably an outdoor sign for a store selling Winchester Arms: firearms and ammo. I glommed onto it and was determined it would be mine, but old dirty water trickled out of the hollow rope part, followed by (shudder) earwigs (I'm sorry. I can't close the shudder tag). Plus, when I asked, the proprietors wanted a usurous amount for the thing. Also plus, I have absolutely no place either inside or outside where I could reasonably hang it. It just seemed like insurmountable odds for what, ultimately, would be a fannish overindulgence.
But--Winchester! Devil's trap! Wanted it so bad. I may go back and see if it's still there and take a picture, at least.
I am kind of staggered that you were able to not buy that. I don't think I could have no matter the logistics.
Beverly! you could ... um, douse it in Raid or something. Dry it out! (although I can understand the ick factor)
BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!!!
Ahem. Or, y'know, sensible is good.
BUY. EEEEEET!
But-but--where'm I gonna put it? And, and, I'll never be able to look at it and not believe there are (shudder) earwigs inside the rim. Ugh. Ugh, ugh.
But yeah, cool. I am going to go at least take a picture of it, and I will see if I can bargain the price down. Enough to offset the earwig threat, anyway. (shudder)
How hefty is the metal? Would it survive roasting on a bonfire for a while? Guy Fawkes Night is coming up.
