Let's not speak of it. This summer was bad enough.

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.
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.
"Brains trump legs..." or, evidently not.
Wait--did we get the blood in the water title card this time? I either missed it or I forgot.
dcp--it's sheet metal, I doubt it would stand up to open flame. Plus, i would burn off all that tasty rusty patina.
Okay, who's the actor and what do I know him from?
