obliteration (I'm thankful for well timed raids and alarm clocks!
And I'm even more thankful that I didn't have to endure the ritual and implanting process. The horror! I feel like I had been put under a spell and lured to the unknowns [well, unknown to me]. The fate that I almost endured leaves me with a humbling feeling!

The online troubles for the Chieftess seem to be calm here recently, but offline troubles are a bit different. The Whangdoodles or some unsavory entity has been trespassing. Last night, they left 2 big objects in my yard. Apparently, Whangdoodles/entities/perps are illiterate and can't read No Trespass signs, or they couldn't care less about where they store their stuff. Both items appeared to be 2 different types of air conditioners and they appeared to be new, which tells me that they most likely had been stolen. I live on the edge of the country and as you may remember, this kind of behavior is unfortunately quite common. A few nights ago, it sounded like someone was bashed in my yard. Bloodcurdling screams followed. The next day, I found a metal fence post in my backyard. So, today I'm shopping for Whangdoodle motion detecting alarms and lights. Additionally, I might have to put "the malformed, malnourished Whangdoodle exhibit" right in my yard to deter these unsavory trespassers. Ah! Commodore, online or offline, the battles never end! May we continue to have the fortitude to tirelessly endure.

When I was in the 7th grade, I took a year of German. I would have continued taking it, but the German teacher moved away. I kept a 99% in that class and the teacher was not easy. I won't say what I kept in the French class. It's too humbling of a grade for the Chieftess to admit lol. I will carry on with my Whangdoodle security detail and I'll take inspiration from the formidable and always clever Commodore... à la prochaine, mon Commodore!)

 

[CommodoreTeach]

effacement - I don't like to admit it, but it seems that you may have encountered one of the two plagues known to be an even greater scourge to mankind than Whangdoodles! Perhaps we need to hazard a trip to the moon, to extradite some Whangdoodles to patrol your property at nights?

If such a plan is unpalatable, perhaps you should check your contact list for any German shepherds you know? I'm sure you'd be indistinguishable from any native-speaking German with a German score of 99%, so I'd hope they'd be willing to help a fellow native-speaker... I've heard that unlike many other German occupations, when it comes to German shepherds, their bark is not worse than their bite! They can be quite loyal, too, once you get to know them - or so I've been told.

Drones and cameras (and sirens!?!) is also an option, I guess, but probably more difficult to setup and maintain.

 

[CarriePie]

erase (Yes, it certainly seems like I'm surrounded by quite the array of nefarious non-Whangdoodles. I was outside last night, sort of patrolling the yard [whilst armed, of course], and I could hear these foes this way and that.

Since I'm not partial to pets, I have ordered various security items. I already have cams, but they are focused on the steps to the front door and on the truck. Needing a broader range of security, I went through possible options and read reviews and made selections. This weekend, I'll be putting up motion sensor lights and motion sensor alarms. The perp will not hear the alarm. The alarm will alert me inside, then I can go outside and scalp the bleeps! That was joke, I couldn't scalp anyone lol. I will, however, confront the bleeps 🔫

If only I had the weapons the Killer Klowns from Outer Space had, I could really have some fun. There'd be cotton candy cocoons, piles of toxic pies, balloon rayguns, etc. Nothing like having fun whilst making the enemy shrivel... or, if I may steal your words, Commodore, the "evil nemesis with all the sliminess of the Whangdoodles, but without the scales."

Whangdoodles, foes, frenemies, nefarious entities, etc. What would we do with ourselves without them? [I can think of sooooo many things!])

 

[CommodoreTeach]

annul - Lol. Those bleeps may not be Whangdoodles, but probably they are still more docile when scalped. I still recommend scalping bleeps if you must confront them. If scalping's not really your thing, I do know someone in the area... Seriously, though, there's more than one way to skin a cat (or a bleep), so perhaps there are other different but equally effective treatments?

I think dressing up as one of those clowns would be enough fun for all. I remember enjoying the Youtube videos several years back of ordinary clowns causing no small levels of concern when appearing quietly and unexpectedly around the place at night - I'm not sure if any of the videos were real rather than staged - but I can imagine what a Killer Klown from Outer Space suddenly appearing with its weapons would be like!

Be careful in your adventures. Although the Whangdoodles are all but defeated, it would be lonelier finalising their defeat without a Chieftess of Defenestration.

 

[CarriePie]

revoke (I assure you, mon Commodore, I'd scalp all assailant bleeps that I could get my hands on if I didn't have such a repulsion to their blood lol.

But the clown costume, now that is a superior idea!! I could just walk about the yard in a demented looking clown costume and that might be better than all the security devices and weapons I have! I can hear my foes now, "Stay away from that place, she's got some demented bleep going on over there."
I recently discovered that I like the show called Twisted Metal. For me, it's right up there with Tulsa King. Unlike Tulsa King, Twisted Metal has a demented clown. I could dress up like that guy [without lighting my head on fire!].
Mind you, as a respectable Chieftess, I don't intend to turn into a demented clown. But, donning the costume to deter bleeps sounds useful!

Btw, there actually were some people randomly dressing as clowns and menacing people here and there. Someone in my city took it too far and committed a crime. So, on the front page was his mugshot with still some clown makeup on 🤡

All clown stuff aside, the Chieftess of Defenestration will persevere and our superior duo will carry on to defeat the Whangdoodles and menace the menacers! And we will revel in the smashingness that follows!)

 

[CommodoreTeach]

rescind - I hear ya. Lol. So we just need to invent a way to stop the bleeps' blood from interfering during the scalping process. Perhaps a laser scalper which cauterizes the bleep even as it scalps him? I definitely understand your revulsion to their blood! ;-)

Your comment about your foe's fearful statement made me laugh - "Stay away from that place, she's got some demented bleep going on over there."

I subsequently envisaged not just one demented clown, but a whole team of them. Roaming the property at night and... well... doing whatever it is that such clowns do best at night. Perhaps also a few props - a dilapidated costume tent, a few signs on the boundary explaining that this is private circus property, and one's presence on the grounds is taken as consent to participate in the show... Enter at your own risk and such... With silhouettes of clown faces at the bottom... 'Twould be fun.

I like the sound of Twisted Metal. I will watch out for the demented clown. But yes, we wouldn't actually become demented clowns. We would only look as if we were demented clowns, and our activities would be limited to private property only. That's probably where the clown on the front page went wrong. I bet he was prowling around in public. Much as I enjoyed the Youtube videos, I definitely could see someone being maimed or killed providing that sort of entertainment. All it would take is someone carrying a weapon - the default tendency for most was to flee, but for some, it may be to attack.

 

[CarriePie]

invalid (A laser scalper!? You are the master!!

Our clown fun property to ward off nefarious foes could also double as an attraction for Halloween! I don't know about folks in your area, but folks here are suckers for scary attractions. Scary clown attractions draw even more crowds. People wanting to be chased...people paying to be menaced! What's wrong with people? lol

I have a year of Peacock and I was poking around on there looking for something to watch. I ran out of Tulsa King episodes. I noticed Twisted Metal, it sounded interesting. I gave it a try. The episodes are short (about 28 minutes), which appealed to me too. The best description of it is as one reviewer/critic said, "enjoyable blast of cartoonishly violent mayhem." I ended up binge watching it. The demented clown, Sweet Tooth, is the best character imo.

I really like the laser scalper invention! Always clever, you are! We should have a shop full of that sort of thing. And maybe a training area next door for tactical training against nefarious enemies in or out of clown suits!)

 

[CommodoreTeach]

incapacitated - Why, thank you, Chieftess!

A laser scalper would not only render our nefarious foes incapacitated, but might also provide welcome relief for those poor folk who are short on hair (in addition to a side revenue!)

I'm not sure if people in my area are into scary attractions. When in a car, I'm thinking people aren't lively enough - it's almost as if every second or third car is controlled by a zombie with just enough increased mental faculties to enable it to manoeuvre a vehicle - marginally. But every time I have visited a theme park or similar, I can't understand how (presumably) similar people can willingly risk their very lives on such frivolous terrors...

Sadistic looking clowns at night is probably more my sort of danger. Provided they don't work in teams. An alley of sadistic clowns is something I would be much more cautious of - especially at night.

Based on your comments, I've decided to open a second-hand body part shop - primarily for bald guys. The laser scalper scalpeth, but the laser scalper also giveth scalps away - for a small finders fee. The funds collected from this will fund the training area in the next tent. ;-)

Also, lots of clowns seem to be bald, so it might be a means of attracting new employees.

 

[CarriePie]

paralyzed (The world seems to have more zombies than critically thinking people. We are blessed with incredible brains, and sadly there are many in the world who aren't using their brain capacity. I remember working at a customer service desk. To the left of me was a college educated lady who was older than me and had worked there years longer than me and to the right of me was someone who wasn't very experienced at the desk. Every single customer they would get, both would have to ask me questions about how to do their transactions. Meanwhile, I'm doing my own transactions and then a manager calls me with his own questions. I was baffled. It didn't seem to me to be a matter of ignorance (we all can be ignorant on certain tasks/topics), but it just seemed like it had more to do with not utilizing critical thinking skills and also leadership skills. That job taught me a lot about people and how they use (or don't use) their brains.

Btw, if I may say so, I think your wise posts and critically thinking input is undevalued. I'm certainly thankful for your input anytime I see it. It's like coming across something better than treasures/gold.

Some bald clowns have a lot of talent. Have you ever listened to Puddles Pity Party? When I was growing up, I really liked the song I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick. Well, Puddles covered that song and I no longer listen to their version, I only like his version. He really transformed it into something that has a lot of feeling. A very gifted clown.

Your ideas are superb. The laser scalpel scalpeth, but the laser scalpel also giveth scalps away. LoL! Maybe we need some simulated alleys with some menacing looking clowns hanging about in the training area. Have you ever seen Magnum Force? There is a scene where Callahan is doing a pistol competition. I visualize something kinda like that, except clowns are popping out here and there from simulated alleys and wooded areas and what-not. Also, make it into different scenarios, perhaps even hand to hand combat training. It could be that I think too much about this type of thing

 

[CommodoreTeach]

crippled - This is very true. I think people get lazy or tired, and I can relate to it. Sometimes, it seems the only reward for using one's brain is more work - from a worldly perspective. I think Solomon said with much wisdom comes much sorrow? Not exactly the same thing, but it follows the idea good things seeming to be harder.

Thanks for your kind words. My feelings are mutual - it's a big encouragement to interact with people like yourself who are not zombified and who are both intelligent and funny!

No - I think I have heard I Want You to Want Me once or twice before, but have never really sought it out. I agree that Puddles sounds like a very talented clown - there's something about the chorus that makes me want to hear it more - I can imagine this song may be in my head for some days to come - or at least the chorus.

I may have seen Magnum Force - I definitely have seen one or two movies with Clint Eastwood as police officer Callahan, but forget the actual names of the movies. Clowns popping out (instead of targets) from the woods and alleyways - lol - I like it. If you think too much about that sort of thing, it's probably more my fault because I encourage it (but I don't think it's too much by the way!)

Here, you can have some alarm clocks and captured trespassing bleeps who have been de-laser-scalped as a reward.

🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕 ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

 

[CarriePie]

maimed ~Good to see you back, Commodore! And thanks for all those lovely clocks!! That made my day...maybe even my week!

It's definitely not your fault, I've been thinking that way for a long time! But, I do like the encouragement!

Btw, I got all that security stuff up and all I've "captured" so far are cats and critters lol

 

[CommodoreTeach]

mutilated - Thanks CarriePie. I didn't realise it was almost 2 weeks since I last posted! Time flies!

Very well done on the security stuff - it sounds like it might be working if you haven't seen any more trespassers or clowns! Any particularly interesting critters? Other than cats - cats can be interesting, too, though - especially in the wild.

 

[CarriePie]

mangle ~Maybe you just wanted a semi truck load of clocks for being away for 2 weeks? lol
⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

It was more of a job than I expected getting all that security stuff up. I may have drilled into a couple of trees while I was at it. Don't tell the tree huggers! I like trees, but I think they'll survive a few screws.
The only critter I've seen lately is an opossum. I've been hearing the owls a lot at night. I think they are frightening the critters. I'd much rather have critters and/or cats than trespassers. I might even prefer Whangdoodles to trespassers!

 

[CommodoreTeach]

crumple - LOL. I'll string the alarm clocks up in the trees. It might remind the trespassers a little of predator, but with less gore.

Yeah, trees are great. The older I get, the more I like them. A few screws - or even a few more than a few screws - never hurt any tree, in my humble, non-tree-hugging opinion.

Definitely critters and cats are preferable to trespassers. And yes, since your latest excellent cure, even the Whangdoodles have become more preferable to trespassers.

 

[CarriePie]

crush ~The situation around here isn't over, but it's seems a bit less bad (for now). I wasn't spending much time in the yard for a while there, except whilst armed at night and patrolling the property. But, this weekend I actually relaxed in the yard in the lounge chair for over an hour!

I'm friends with a couple who have many clocks in their home (the husband is a collector). I've visited them for brunch a few times. Imagine being in a house full of constant tick tocking lol. It's actually not too bad. Even kinda relaxing...though I don't think I'd want to live there.

I like trees a lot too. I don't think the Whangdoodles like them. Which reminds me of another movie, Southern Comfort, where they are running through the swamp and the enemy is felling trees on them. That could be an idea for offing Whangdoodles. Send them off into the swamps! 🌳

 

[CommodoreTeach]

clamp - Lovely - time to relax is always pleasant. Your description reminded me of the below meme.


Lol. A house-full of clocks would be strange. I do like the sound of clocks, but I don't know that its relaxing... I think it would give me a kind of relaxed alertness. I dunno if I'd be able to stay in a house-full all the time. Like you say, probably a good experience for a visit, but not one you'd want around all the time.

Oh yes. Swamps would be the perfect place for the final Whangdoodle solution. This will definitely be something for further discussion next time.

 

[CarriePie]

tools ~That's hilarious! Especially the embarrassed part! I might be a strange woman, but I think pink firearms are absolutely ghastly looking! I wouldn't be caught dead with one (or any other colorful weapon lol). However, if that is all there was within reach and I had to defend myself, I'd use it! lol

I mean, I can just picture me holding a "girly" looking weapon on the Whangdoodles and them laughing at me Until, I put them out of their misery of course! As you said, for further discussion next time...

 

[CommodoreTeach]

contrivances - Lol. I think the part that I associate with you (maybe I'm wrong?) is that you'd go that extra mile to complete the job with style - not only dead Whangdoodles (or other miscreants), but dead and embarrassed! Not necessarily (actually, not at all!) a pink weapon!!! I think even the thought of that deserves some alarm clocks, so here you go! ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

Yes, definitely, the Whangdoodles would most probably laugh at you if they were to see you holding such a "girly" looking weapon. If they've invented a telescope yet that could make out the weapon colour all the way from the moon - which they likely haven't, knowing Whangdoodles and all! Somehow, though, I doubt they would be laughing if they were any closer than that distance!!!

 

[CarriePie]

tactic ~I concur! I'm not sure who else could be so masterful at eliminating Whangdoodles, nefarious foes, and other ghastly miscreants as the Chieftess and, if I may say, the Master. It takes skill to expire these vile beasties while leaving them only an embarrassing legacy!

Maybe we could construct a cannon that shoots to the moon? We could be blasting miscreants up there, aiming them at the Whangdoodles. I'm thinking of some sort of futuristic cannon. I even looked that up just now. That looks fun! And there wasn't a "girly" cannon in sight!

Thank you again for your humor and wit, I'm always left feeling enlivened. That certainly helps when taking on such incredible challenges!
Thus, you certainly deserve the vast bounty of clocks! ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰

 

[CommodoreTeach]

manoeuvre - Yes. Since their most recent ignoble defeat, most Whangdoodles would rather pretend they never existed than admit that they did but were subsequently vanquished in such a humiliating manner. For instance, at the zoo the other day, the game keeper was explaining to a bus load of school kids why the Whangdoodle enclosure was now empty of inmates. He was recounting tales of great heroineism on the part of the Great Chieftess of Defenestration, and some masterfully - if I may say so myself - strategic planning from the Master, and perhaps a few choice French words that no one else could understand from that French guy who was horrifically eaten, when a Whangdoodle in sunglasses and a disguise - I knew it was a Whangdoodle because it was such a good disguise - interrupted him, and started sowing the seeds of doubt and saying that nobody believes in Whangdoodles anymore, and people who do are just glorified snake-oil salesmen who have traded their snakes for Whangdoodles...

Anyhoo, before I could capture the defamatory creature, it had slipped into another enclosure, but I must confess the thought of traveling to the moon has perhaps made me realise I am more susceptible to the CIA mind tricks. A cannon that shoots to the moon would be impressive, but I feel that this is a journey more fit for Whangdoodles to make. Great heroineic Chieftesses and accompanying Masters should arrive in a more dignified manner - via a stargate or portal, for instance... I think we should invent a portal that takes us to the moon. Instantaneously. Like, teleports us there. Or perhaps these have already been invented? I still half don't believe they have, but was reading a story about a time traveller the other day, and wondering why it was so convincing, and came to the conclusion that either it may have been real, or someone with a set of pretty impressive party tricks wants to make it sound real. Although I'm leaning toward the latter, it probably would be a good opportunity to finally invent some comfortable means of travel to the moon, where we can line up all our Whangdoodles in a row... Our strategy must be like clockwork... ⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰⏰ Those are for you, apparently. High Command said if you array them around your house, it will terrify the trespassers (or any stray Whangdoodles)!
