The proverbial snowman
On an evening in early March, the bitter wind lashed across my face, and white rain clung to every crevice of my clothing. Soon I was unrecognisable; a proverbial snowman. As I trudged against the piercing gale, my vision became blurred and my feet uncertain. Only a littler further I told myself; I’m nearly back to the safety of my dwelling where a hot mug of hot chocolate awaited me (well actually tea but that just didn’t sound right).
Suddenly, on my left came a cackle. Tentatively I turned my head, only to see a ball of ice whistle past my ear; I was under attack by three scallies. Automatically I took up my fighting stance, ready to retaliate with full force; for those who haven’t seen this it is a scary site- though it doesn’t happen often (generally involves a large volume of Lucozade being consumed beforehand). Anyway, getting back to the action, as another barrage of snowballs came towards me I dodged two out of three matrix styli and caught the other. The cackles were cut short when I propelled the snowball in my hand at the nearest scally. It caught him across the chest and he fell down. The other two looked at me – sheer hatred in their eyes. They reloaded and sped towards me. I smiled to myself, “I can take em” I thought to myself. The only problem was that it was late, there were three of them, and I was cold. So, being the Christian I am, I let them have throw one more barrage, all of which pitifully missed, laughed at them in the most condescending way I could think of, and walk hastily in the opposite direction.
Needless to say, I made it back okay, and have lived to tell the tale. I’m so glad that God made snow, it’s so fun!!!
Anyway, the kettles boiled so I’m off for my “hot Chocolate”.
Take Care and God Bless

Hey brother, we can take 'em on Neo AND Trinity style when I come down... unstoppable. Or maybe you could be Morpheus. Or the Oracle? lol. Stay strong, bless you.
I have also noticed the pitiful lack of acuracy and randomness of the scallies snowballs. Reminds me of a time some were trying to pelt us in my local park. they had the high ground too. Needless to say none of them hit.
But that's a different matter, you handled yourself well and did the right thing of showing them up. We'll teach you in the ways of scally repelant soon.
Lol, I would've loved to have been there to watch you take those scallies on. Heck, I'd even join you for a good fist- I mean, snowball fight.
;) kidding as always.
I find a sawn-off handy in times such as these.
A sawn-off what? Sorry to be stupid, but you lot know me by now.
Oh bless. You are actually being serious aren’t you Cathy. He meant a sawn-off broom handle of course. What did you think he meant? Couldn't be a sawn-off shotgun; he's not that sadistic, and not at all nice.
Take Care

PS. I never knew Scallie-bashing was so popular; this is the 6th comment! (I know for many of you this isn't actually that special, but I have no friends and therefore this is a rarity.)
