Sidekicks, parrots and supervillians

[seandc]

"I was going to be Alf's sidekick, I was going to be Urkel 2..."
-James Marsters, on being ready to take any acting jobs pre-Buffy on tonight's Rove Live.

I saw a new kind of parrot today - just walking to the Government House stop, and I hear a loud PI-ARK! every now and then. Some looking around, and eventually a large pale-green parrot emerges from the tree before flying off. According to the book this should be an Elegant Parrot according to the range and paleness, but I think it was a Cloncurry Ringneck since it looked larger and I didn't notice any blue. Unusual since here we have two of the Ringnecks, but these are the Twenty-eight and Port Lincoln parrots - the Cloncurrys seem to be most common to Queensland, with both the other subspecies between there and Perth. But then, avairy escapes led to Perth's population of lorikeets...


Anna, you said to post this, so here it is - when one little suggestion on EBay leads to the birth of a new supervillian!

Anna1 (11:05 PM) :
And the dumbest suggestion of all for payment: "Well Concealed Cash".

Sean DC (11:05 PM) :
Yes, I've concealed it well! If you can find it, you can have it!

Anna1 (11:06 PM) :
That's what I thought, too. Besides, the first person who finds it, would also get the cash. Rather than the seller of the item.

Sean DC (11:07 PM) :
I have created a bunch of fiendishly clever clues, each more mindbending than the last :lol:

Anna1 (11:07 PM) :
:lol:

"And you must travel around the world to find the cash! Mwahahaha! Is it worth it? Just to sell a package? You decide!"

Sean DC (11:08 PM) :
Yes! :lol:

Anna1 (11:08 PM) :
Sounds a little like The Riddler, too. :lol:

Sean DC (11:09 PM) :
I was channelling Bart :lol:

Anna1 (11:10 PM) :
The Riddler for me. :lol:

"You will solve The Riddle of the Sphinx! And then a few dozen more riddles! Finally, you will locate the position of the package, climb a mountain, cross a rope bridge, and turn left. If you follow this, you will find a box--a puzzle box. You have until midnight to open it! If you don't, this package will self-destruct at 12:01 AM."

Sean DC (11:11 PM) :
*hums Indiana Jones theme*

Anna1 (11:11 PM) :
Seller: "Well, I did say well-concealed money..." *Long suffering sigh.*

Sean DC (11:12 PM) :
They should've been more careful :lol:

Anna1 (11:12 PM) :
The rope bridge part was definitely inspired by Indiana Jones. :lol:

Sean DC (11:13 PM) :
And when they find it... rolling boulder of DOOM! :lol:

Anna1 (11:13 PM) :
Yes. :lol: *After they get around every obstacle...*

Buyer: Are you happy? With that one instruction you created a supervillain!
Seller: Yeah...can I go home now? I opened the box...there wasn't money.
Buyer: Oh. Well, then. Here's the money. *gets it out of their pocket.*

Sean DC (11:15 PM) :
And then they'd have to watch out :lol:

Anna1 (11:16 PM) :
No, then they get the money, the seller ends up going home, going through everything again, surviving, and giving the package. :lol:

Sean DC (11:17 PM) :
and by then they forgot which package it was :lol:

Anna1 (11:17 PM) :
Probably so. :lol:

Seller: OK...I did it...ALL AGAIN!
Buyer: Good! Where's my package?
Seller: HERE! *throws package at them.* *Storms away.*
Buyer: Yay!
Seller: *in the distance* And you're getting a negative review!
*Shouting causes avalanche of rocks, crushing seller.*

Sean DC (11:18 PM) :
:lol:

The Fun of EBay! :lol:

Anna1 (11:19 PM) :
*Buyer goes home, and adds this as a review*
"The seller was very clever at evading my traps! MWahahaha!!! Speedy delivery--one final time!"
