I have a theory.
Mood: okay

Snitch, water stain, split lip, locking spells, crumpled homework.

Indoor Quidditch with waterguns. Hamburgers after.


Thoughts?

It's interesting.

But how?

Would they just toss the Snitch, and whoever shoots it with a watergun first wins?

If so, I want to play!

My first thought upon reading about the water stains was 'Slip 'n Slide!', but that would be a bad theory to suggest here, especially since this is one of the first things that comes up in a Google image search. Your theory is much better.

Eep! My fond memories of Slip 'n Slide will never be the same.

(parent)

non_inferno @ May 18 2003, 13:43:34 UTC

Same. I always thought Slip 'n Slide was about Fun in the Sun, but apparently it's about snitches, split lips, and locked doors.

jgoreham @ May 18 2003, 16:30:11 UTC

Heeeee, slip'n'slides make me think of an X-Force fanfic by desert nomad, I think it's called "It's too #!$$! Hot in Here!" that involves various X-Men related baddies using a slip'n'slide inside and the fic ending in disaster.

But that has nothing to do with NA... =^^=;;

Singing, yes, but not in an especially good way. It's a Disney Channel show that they made into a movie.

I have not seen the first either, and Blockbuster did not have it in. I had to watch Chamber of Secrets again instead to kill time.

You should see one of the following instead of rewatching CoS:

Sweeny Todd (the one with Angela Lansbury that Blockbuster and co carry)
But I'm a Cheerleader
That other movie I watched recently whose name I forgot.

Sweeny Todd involves singing and human-filled meat pies.
Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead involves Hamlet. Is he a superhero?
But I'm a Cheerleader has a corny cheer about true lesbian love in it. I do not know if this counts as singing
That other one did.

non_inferno @ May 18 2003, 18:49:49 UTC Re: Heads

I can rent one of these with my Blockbuster gift certificate that I won today (extensive Bible knowledge again). X-Men first though.

Did that other one have both superheroes and singing? Or just one?

(parent)

notapipe @ May 18 2003, 18:52:53 UTC The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Just singing. And not good singing. Sweeny Todd has the best singing. Sweeny Todd has the best everything. I would consider Sweeny Todd a superhero in his own right, since he's like the Punisher but for everyone.

I wish the people I had seen it with had been comic book fans. (I like comics, just haven't read X-Men (except a little of Ultimate X-Men in the airport on Sunday)) They could have answered some of our problems.

That sounds like Austrialian Indoor Rules Quidditch from Mac Hall. Sounds a like a great deal of fun, and keeps me away from the Bad Place for a bit.

It seems feasable, plus we all know Lupin keeps a supply of water guns in the house.

They also help to keep cats off of Christmas trees.

And that was somewhat off-topic, but Hogwarts has both cats and Christmas trees, and you never know when this kind of information will be useful.

I really can't see McGonagall or Mrs Norris climbing trees. It's too undignified for McGonagall and students never hide in trees so Mrs Norris has no interest in them.

It does make a rather funny mental picture. ^_^

No one is alone.

"Snitch, water stain, split lip, locking spells, crumpled homework."

My dirty mind thinks that that might not be water.

Though I don't know where the Snitch would come in in that scenario.

How do locking spells work with this theory?

(parent)

Anonymous @ May 18 2003, 21:20:48 UTC

Maybe the water stain wasn't from Indoor Quidditch With Waterguns (because why would there only be one stain? and why only on the floor? why not the walls?) or from a slip'n slide (same reason: why only one stain?) Maybe it's simpler. Maybe one of the many drinks J_H got for PS was water. Maybe, somehow, it spilled. Maybe they got distracted long enough for the water to stain. How long does that take I wonder? And prehaps at the same time they accidently knocked over the water glass they also accidently squished their parchments and J_H's lip got split. Naturally they would want to lock the door while involved in this activity (I call it: Nraged baiting) so as not to be interupted.

I think PS would have to have split J_H's lip for quite a while for it to stain.
