Oh boy, I just have to smile right now, because after all this talk of vegetables (and the difference between a cucumber and zucchini) I was asked to cashier a few nights ago. My last customer before I was making them kick me off the register so I could go on my last break and go home, was this guy, and I'm not kidding you, he had 4 whole carts full of groceries. Amid them were vegetables, one of them being two zucchinis. When I picked them up, I stared at them for a little bit and recalled the picture Herm posted of the zucchini. I couldn't help but remember the conversation and smile a little bit as I still had to ask the guy and make sure that what I was holding was really a zucchini. Once he said yes, I put in the code, and couldn't hold back a tiny chuckle just cause I found the situation really funny.
Unfortunately, that was the only funny thing, and the only product I can recall because after that point was when I realized cart after cart how many groceries this dude had, and by the time I finally got everything checked out, I was brain dead for the evening.
I just had to share that story with you guys though, cause you'd be the only ones to see the humor in it.

*looks up as the silver smoke as it starts to disperse, and sees a flaring five shining inches from her. Backs away slightly.*
What is that?

That's a really good question. Hmmm. I hope that doesn't catch on the curtains or something because that could be a fire hazard.
(Hey Moia, I thought the zucchini thing was funny! It made me laugh, because I've been in that position before too.

Maybe it can be put out by water.
*shoots a jet of water from her wand at the flaming 5, but the water simply sizzles and disappears, and the 5 starts flaming even more*
Oh dear.
(Hehe. True moira! ;D Also I bet if you get someone with that amount of load in the one of the supermarkets I go to at least, the cashier would probably frown, and try to resist the urge to leave. )

ooc: oh dear, it's been forever since I've been here. Sorry. Time seems to be going by faster lately. . .
bic: *looks at the flaming 5 that has been burning in her room for a while* Uh. . . ookay. You say water doesn't work on it, Herm? *picks up a smiley face pillow and throws it at the flaming number. It passes through it, but the intensity of the flames seems to lessen somewhat* Hey, did you see that? *looks at the pillows on her bed, all smiling* Do you think the smiley faces pose some sort of power?

I dunno. Maybe it's like some magic hologram or something.
*she picks up the smily face moira threw and turns it round to see small flaming red writing on it. Reads* "5 is not the number of minutes Ko had to wait on the telephone line, before being transferred to an answering machine".
*lifts an eyebrow* Okay, what is this?

(Hermy, that creeped me out )
Well... if 5 isn't that, then what could it mean? 5 is also the number of Hufflepuffs that we have, but I think it has a wider application than that...
Maybe if we keep throwing smiley face objects at it we can get more clues?

OOC: I have no idea what it means! Wiz sent me a PM asking me to write it, and so I did. I'm waiting for his reply to see what he's brewing. I know he had been wanting to plan something for a while, but 5's?
BIC: *looks puzzled at the smily face still in her hand* Yeah maybe we could try it again. I mean, what 5's do we know of that might have some sort of significance?

I meant that it creeped me out because we're roleplaying here but the thing about me being transferred to an answering machine was what happened IRL when I rang up a certain university... and I ranted about it in my Glenmore entry!
Now, let's see what it could mean:
5 is the number of digits you have on your hand? 5 isthe first sum of two prime numbers (2+3)? 5 is the name of a crappy British boy band from the late 90s? 5 is the number of continents on earth? 5 is the average number of years before a child goes to primary school?

Okay that's creepy.
*thinks* Nah I don't think it's anything like that.

Wiz what the heck are you doing?
*tries to move but can't. Turns to Ko at her side*
What do you do in the case of being kidnapped?
