Grrr....
Borged again!
This makes time number 2 that I've been Borged. The first time, EDB ate me 'cause I almost
litterally asked for it. EDB ate someone I was asking a
question of, so I jumped on it and shook it, yelling, "Spit
Juuichiketajin out, damn you, I just asked a question and it wasn't
answered yet!" I was quite
summarily Borged. I would have been
disappointed otherwise.
So,
today. I'm on
E2 for the first time in well over a
month and what happens? I'm sitting,
quietly for the
most part, and here I go,
correcting a
minor misquote by
yossarian and next thing I know, I'm
swallowed. I don't really mind that much as I had been quiet, mostly due to the fact that I'm
supposed to be
working, so that's not really an
issue.
No, the real issue is the
borg-slime. I don't know about the rest of the swallowed, but borg-slime is really
nasty. It's just about the same
viscosity as the stuff you see hanging out of the
gaping maws of the
creatures in the
Alien movies. You know, that stuff that's
comprised mostly of the same stuff they use in
milk shakes to make them
creamy.
Doesn't it just make your mouth water?
And it
smells. But, as I've just had
lunch, I'm not going to get into the
smell. I'll just
shudder reflexively and move on.
The
worst part, for me, about borg-slime is that I have long
hair. It's not incredibly
thick, but it does
hang all the way
past my
waist, so borg-slime is a bitch and a half to get out! I mean, really. If it had some
positive property, like as a
holding agent, then it might not be so
bad. But when all it does is stink and make you look like you just crawled up from the nearest
sewer, it's just not a
happy event.
Ok, there is one good thing about me being swallowed. It makes it so that I can't
chat, so I let out my
pent up self in
verbal form as a
writeup. Of course, it would likely have been more
productive had I done something other than a
silly daylog. I
suspect this is yet
another example of my
poor impulse control.
