Day Two in the Hide Out

[erastes]

Ok – a few of you did point out that I couldn't possibly have Sekrit Evil Base ™ under the Arctic because there's no land mass, but seriously did you think I'm as dim as The Evil Overlord and am going to TELL people where the Sekrit Evil Base ™ is actually located?  Torture as many Bothans as you like, you ain't finding out.

But the move went well. There was a small hiccup because Dad had forgotten which box he'd packed the laser cannon immobiliser key, but I eventually found it in a crate of towels and every curtain Mother had ever owned since 1973. The women could throw nothing away. Some of the more garish ones might do, though.

Afternoon was spent unpacking. The furniture is going to have to go. Somehow wooden armchairs with green leather cushions look a little incongruous in sterile white decor. Also the piranhas splash a lot which isn't good for leather. Cats have decided that "Teasing The Piranhas" is the Jeux de Jour (it's so much more sinister in French) and sit with their faces squashed up against the glass tank and I swear they are laughing. Must count piranhas. And cats. Don't wish to lose any of either.

Dad has been banned from the weapons facility, as I've found that even putting DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON doesn't actually work, because he moves the sign and then the point of said sign is rather pointless. Until the minions get here it's not safe to keep letting him wander in there, remove the sign and press buttons. Thank goodness they aren't actually connected until Physics and maths expert arrives.

Talking of minions, I think they might object to the uniforms, but then minions don't get opinions. Or much uniform, apparently.

Had Words with Tesco. Seems they don't deliver everywhere.

Hee. Sounds like life, even in sekrit, has its irritations.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't believe! Where are good minions obtained these days?

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

I already have a uniform but I'm not sure if it would be warm enough :/

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Oh it's warm! Hot lava pipes remember! And you don't get to bring your own uniform! Where would the stormtroopers be if they could all bring their own outfits?

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

Oh goodie. Only bodypaint necessary then?

not you, obviously.

Are you bringing Mr Crawly and Master Crawly?

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

That IS me! *hides*

Mr Crawly is too busy playing with his beard and Master Crawly is too busy with the girlfriend so it'll just be me. Have the kettle on...

*knits. Sinisterly*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

I like it. Keep it up, Knitting Minion. They'll never expect weapons of WOOL! mwahahahaha!

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

Weapons of mass wool. I like it.

*joins in knitting but no so sinisterly so as to not attract attention*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

You can do it dexterously, rather than sinisterly. Heh, just coz i'm evil, doesn't mean I can't show off.

[crawling-angel.livejournal.com]

I was looking for the 'like' there. LJ needs a 'like' facility.

No doubt our 'cabling' abilities will come in reeeeeal handy. *evOl laughter*

*clickityclick*
*installs silencer on needles*

[aunty_marion]

No-One Expects the Knitting Inquisition! Mwuahahahaha! Slip 1, Knit 2 Together, *PASS THE SLIP STITCH OVER*!! Our tactics are amazing. I mean, wouldn't you love a knitted squid for your pool ocean?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. I have to say, the little squid is so cute!!

*practices camp raising of eyebrow in case a 007 intervention is required and lays in some extra ninjas*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Pah. Your eyebrows and Ninjing do not scare me. I have Bichon Friese attack dogs.

Try Asda - when we first moved here they were the only supermarket who would deliver out here (Tesco do as well now, since they opened stores within a hour's drive). Asda, though, can be fooled with a quick 'phone call even if their website says they don't deliver to your area. All you do is say "but I've seen your vans delivering to my neighbours!" and then they go "Oh, ok, then."

What's so awful about the uniforms?
...Oh no, they're not, you couldn't be *that* evil ..........pink?

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately my neighbours are penguins (oops, giving stuff away) and don't use deliveries too often, but I'll give it a go!

Minions don't get to question the uniforms. *smitey*

*packs meerkat outfit in suitcase in case of lava failure*

The knitters can make wool torture devices, 'cause, ya know, all the wool clothes I've ever worn in my life have tortured me.

Oh, and I have it on good advice that excellent minions can be found at BDSM clubs. Just make sure you get the bottoms and not the tops. They are excellent at taking orders and do not object to naked as a uniform.

*rubs chin speculatively* - I like this idea, we could use that wool with the long threads that really really itches...
