Under Sea Garden

So I've spent my day so far making High School Musical icons. It's full of shiny and happy and sparkles and adorable little blonde girls in tons of pink.


But what kind of world would be complete without some kind balance?

Welcome Bearforce1, everybody.*




Considering that I saw a guy at work with the bear paw tattooed on his ankle, I find this just right and good and proper somehow.


*Seriously. They're not a joke. They're just made of freakin' Hollandish Awesome.

Welcome one and all, to runefallstar and karotsamused's ANIME THEME PARK.

You heard right. Think Disneyland, but for all of your favorite Anime. We've got a few going so far.

Bleach: The Psychaedelic Hollow Hunt: Follow Your Favorite Reaper as they beat the begeebus out of Hollows! It'll be Indy-esque, only you're gonna have Kon in your ear the whole time.

FMA: Most Depressing Ride In the History Of the Universe: You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go home and hug your mother. I'm sure there are a few curlicues in there somewhere, but it'll end with you leaving, brushing snow out of the lapels of your coat, and wishing they let you see Naked Ed a little longer during the Array Drop Into The Gate.

Naruto: Fly through the trees! This one's a suspension ride where you dash with Team 7 (or what's left of it) and Shikamaru after Gaara and Sasuke. Watch out or you'll end up in a sandy coffin! Or a barrel.

Naruto: IN A BARREL: Careening down a raging river of death! You are Sasuke, stuck in a barrel for episode after episode. Think Haunted Mansion, but with lots more of Naruto and Sasuke kissing accidentally. It ends when the barrel is broken open and you gaze into the leering welcome of your new Dom Orochimaru.

Naruto: Konoha Training Park for the little ones: It'll have a ball pit. And Target Practice with suction cup kunai.

Naruto: False Shuriken Ride: You are Naruto, flung by Sasuke past Zabuza - spin out of control through this whiplash of a wild time.

Prince of Tennis: Be Lobbed across the court in this exciting match! Feel like you're there!

Cowboy Bebop: Space race! Pilot the Swordfish II with Spike and blow out the engines of those nasty space police trying to get your bounty!

Samurai Champloo: Sneak through the bamboo looking for gay fireflies. Ah ha. Actually it'd be more like Soarin' - IMAX swordfights, what?

Dai Guard: YOU TOO CAN PILOT DAI GUARD AND FIGHT HETERODYNE! The most Rockin Mech-based ride EVAR. Get bitched at by Ayame and whats-her-face, win Shirota's heart, and SAAAAVE TOKYO!!!

Saiyuki: Ride the Jeep to the West - comes with your own shorejuu. You get points for shooting the fark out of demons, but if they get too close, you lose your sutra!

Trigun: Brilliant Dynamites Neon: Ride an out-of-control sand steamer through the canyon - will you stop before the sudden drop? Bonus Tower-Of-Terror Ending!


...

Our park's nowhere near full yet. Any ideas?
(COME ON! JOIN IN! It's fun!)

THERE WAS CHEESE AND IT WAS NOT YOURS!

NOT ONE OUNCE OF THOSE SIX POUNDS IS YOURS!

No, really, I've got a possum in a bucket in my backyard and I don't know what to do.

Suggestions?


The poodles (who are currently locked in the bathroom and not at all happy about it) cornered this possum and it climbed into one of those five gallon black plastic pots plants come in from the nursery (Dad's a landscaper and there's tons of that stuff laying around here), but now I don't know what to do with it.

Can I just take a the rake and knock the pot over and hope the possum runs out? I can't leave for work with the poodles in the bathroom because that would be just cruel. But I can't really leave the possum out there either.

I really, really don't want to pick up a little plastic bucket full of really freaked out possum.


...animal control? How does a person decide if it's worth calling animal control?


*flails and runs off to see if the five minutes this took to write was enough to make the possum leave on it's own*


ETA I: Possum still in bucket. I went next door and the very nice neighbors gave me the box their new coffee pot had come in and I'm going to see if I can tip the possum into the box. ...Yeah, that's kinda what I said, but hey, I've gotta start somewhere.

ETA II: Okay, no. That box is so not strong enough to hold what is, on closer inspection, a very, very large possum. Gah! What am I supposed to do?
...Okay, I'm going to google animal control. Just to see... *faceplams and relies on the internets like the good little nerd she is*

ETA III: Solution. Find a box trolley/dolly/lifter thing and wheel the possum (still in bucket) to the little gated area off to the side of the house. Let small dogs out of bathroom.
Problem. Discover that there's a hole in the fence between yard and gated off area and yard. Put dogs back inside. Bedroom this time.
Solution: Get out ...box lifter, and move possum (still in bucket) all the way to the front yard and store under some bushes. Prepare to release dogs a second time.

Because my dad's Spanish final was a little too much for some of you...

Rating: NC-17. For. Um. Feathers.
Notes: Sooo... wildelamassu put up a picture of Hazel, happend to say to me, "Poor Sanzo. I bet he has nightmares about being tied to the bed with a feather boa." To this I can only say, "Oh, does he ever." So, I guess this is for her. Because, the bunnies, they come when you're least expecting them. Anyways, I'll have you all know that this is also my first. Porn. Ever. And look what I did! *flails* Good Lord. XD And a huge thanks to karotsamused, for sitting through all the flailing. And the beta. *G*
Summary: Everyone has nightmares. Even Sanzo.
