Hey,

Welcome everyone.

Scary endings.

I will certainly stay off those sidewalks.

Enchiladas and Tequila, can't beat that.

All we need now are some <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>chicks and we've got ourselves a real P-A-R-T-Y!!!</span>

Richard turns down the lights and lowers the screen. He brings out a projector and prepares to speak.

Excuse me, can I get everyone's attention. Yes, well..... now it's time for the Happy Tree Friends Episode.









(It's not a direct link to one of the episodes. I was having problems. Just choose "Happy Trails" and "Happy Trails Part Two" for now. I'll try to fix this later.)

I might have to leave this party, around 5:30. Everyone can still party all the way to midnight. I only rented this place to 12:00. Just don't make too much of a mess here. I guess I was right, more beer for me! :beer :beer :beer

Ok, the Tree Friends scare me. This CONST: 5. "Nah, I'll back up the hard drive tomorrow." almost makes me cry (though not much because in a week or so, i'll have my cool NEW computer with a working hard drive, and the old one's not dead yet [god, I feel like Monty Python; waiting for Viv to jump in with some lines here] so at least I can transfer files still)

Scary drinks: Mind Eraser. I think it's basically a shot version of a black russian. I forget. Also, the Three Wise Men or Four Horsemen. Nothing but combos of nasty, nasty liquor.

:python :martini :rita
Have a GREAT party!

My horrible Friday the 13 story has to do with going to see Romeo and Juliet performed by a Shakespeare company (which is ok) and hoping the people with seasons tickets who sit behind me aren't rude enough to ANSWER THEIR FRIGGIN TELEPHONE IF IT RINGS. It will be THEIR Fri 13 horror story if it happens, I gua-ran-tee it. Why didn't I bring my flask?

:beerchug Cheers!

President Rix Wax arrives, dragging a dolly with several cases of Shiner Bock.

Greetings, Texans.

He surveys the half-empty room.

Okay. Did the party get cancelled due to snow and ice? Well, I can't stay long anyway. A beer or two and I'll be off. Dixie's cooking some of her jambalaya at the mansion and I can't miss that! What's the screen set up for? Geez, Deadwhores, you been here drinking all day?

Speaking of scary, I had a great story all ready to go, but I understand someone all ready gave away the "but she's been dead three years" ending.

Oh well, here's to everyone that can still raise a glass! :beer

And, to those that can't! :beer

They breed in the darkness.

They appear suddenly, shocking the unsuspecting, draining their blood and sucking out their brains.

They can extinguish the very will to live:

Ok, here is what happened to us one cold, wet, dark Friday the 13th night much like tonight! This is why we will never ever go out on a Friday the 13th ever again!

A long plaintive wail emanated from the cardboard box. We don't remember whether we saw the box or heard the cry first, but we were certain that the pitiful sound came from the box. We immediately regretted taking the short cut from The Roxy to the car park, we always felt uncomfortable using it after dark. The passage between the hotel and the some odd all-night butcher shop was only just wide enough for one person and it was badly lit with a single bulb. Where it opened out behind the shops, anyone could be hiding in the dark out of sight of the Sixth Street ally, hardly visible in the shadows from the vast empty car park under the creepy overpass.

We had something else to worry about this time because there was that cry again, audible above the sound of the fans on the refrigeration unit at the back of the butcher shop. It was a heart rending sound of loneliness, pain and hunger, that brought back memories of childhood punishments, when our mother locked us in our bedroom without any dinner or supper. We could hear her voice even now, all these years later, "You disgusting little monster". What was that awful sound? What should we do about it? Leave it probably, let some one else sort it out. Nobody helped us then locked in our bedroom or in the dark under stairs cupboard, shivering in our wet pajamas, our small cries drowned out by our mother's ranting and the loud rumble of the washing machine.

The cry went on long and pathetic, rising and falling in pitch. It was probably some kittens, the abandoned and unwanted offspring of a family pet, discarded by a callous owner. If it was and if we opened the box, what then? We would then feel responsible for them, would have to take them home. No, better to leave them for someone else, not our problem. But the cry was echoing round the alley, echoing inside our head, there was something about it that sounded almost human. Perhaps it was a baby shut in the box, alone, in the cold, in the wet, in the dark.

Well, we just couldn't leave a baby shut inside a box, alone in the dark. We knew just how that felt, to be shut in, how you could not breathe, how you began to sweat, how you could feel the blood rushing and roaring through your temples and the contents of your stomach rising in your throat. The waves of panic that wash hot and cold through the body.

It was then that we knew if there was any chance that it could be a baby, we had no choice but to look inside the box. We were within a foot of the cardboard box when suddenly there was a slight movement from the box and the crying ceased, all was quiet except the thrum of the fans in the butchers shop wall. The top of the box was sealed with wide brown tape, we managed to get our fingernail under the end and peeled off the tape in one go. Pulling open the flaps we stared into the shadowy darkness, trying to make some sense of the shape within. It didn't look like a baby, in fact there seemed to be more than one set of eyes blinking back at us, "Kittens, we were right the first time" we thought, reaching in with both hands to pick one up. Taloned hands grabbed both of our wrists, sudden and vice like, searing pain shot up our arms.

We yelled like hell and tried to pull away. The claws pulled back, hard and sharp, digging into our flesh and forcing us off balance. We immediately realised that there was no way we could stop ourself falling head first into the cardboard box. As our head entered the box more small clawing hands grabbed at it, pulling at our hair and ears, we felt the sharp talons enter our nostrils, dig into our neck and shoulders. Even as our chest passed into the box we were aware of the wet and warm, strangely comforting feeling spreading through the front of our jeans.

Then as the claws pulled the rest of our body down into the darkness, we felt the hot and cold waves of panic running through our body. As we struggled for breath, the blood roared in our ears, our shouts of terror began to subside, turning first into a whimper, then into a long plaintive wail...

It was a cold, wet, dark Friday the 13th night much like tonight!

Here's a scary story (at least for me). My anniversery with Jessica was Friday June 13th. So, today is 8 months. Just goes to show that only evil spawns from that day. I better say I'm kidding or I might see her wrath when she comes back to the room. :gun_nep :gun2 :whip :gun :machinegun :gun_smilie :wow

I believe that the word you're trying to get, NewTexas, is La Lechuza.
It means owl in Spanish, though it is not the only way to say owl.
