Title: The First Annual "We're All Bored To Death" DS Character Grab Bag!
Post by: Raineypark on December 10, 2002, 05:09:32 PM
Okay, we can't all continue to sit around here waiting for poor Connie to come up with yet another hysterical storyboard to entertain us.  Time for the rest of us to contribute to the alleviation of the Holiday Doldrums.....so here's my 2 cents worth:

You've just pulled a DS character's name out of a very large brandy snifter,  and now you have to get them a grab bag gift.  (Consider yourself lucky that you get to pick the character yourself.)  [smrtasy]


My character is..........NICHOLAS BLAIR!!
.....to whom I give a classic grey fedora hat like my grandpa used to wear, so I can toss that Tyrolean Travesty he wore to death onto  the Yule log!!!

Who's next?

Well wouldn't you know it that the character I picked out was Cassandra Blair!  

Now, I know exactly what Im giving her as a gift,  A BRAND NEW WIG!!! Something that not only fits her but suits her face as well.  Now,  she can get rid of that thing that she wears on her head &  Perhaps the skunks can use it as a nest for the Winter! ;-)

(Nice idea Rainey)

Bored is putting it mildly. I managed to watch an entire DVD set in a day and a half. Well, my draw was Victoria Winters. I went to Bloomies and bought her a brick red a-line dress with SLEEVES. It came complete with matching jacket, contrasting stripe scarf and a gold butterfly pin. I'm working on the shoes! Her clothes are, for the most part, boring.

I pulled Carl's name.  I'm getting him a bag of tricks and practical jokes.  YOU know...like, he'll be able to use the whoopy cushion on Edward, he can place the fake vomit on Judith's dressing table, etc.

Even though I didn't pull Quentin's name, I've still got a present for him.  ;)

Well, in keeping with other coincidences, I drew little Missy Stoddard. I think Dr. Laura's "Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives" would be JUST the thing! I'm feeling extra generous, so I think I will throw in a copy of "The Rules" also!

I chose Barnabas, that lucky SOB!

From me, he's getting an overnight experience he will never forget.  I'll show him, once and for all, why sweet young thangs just don't have as much to give as older, more experienced women.  

We'll start with a long, luxirious backrub, proceed into the bathtub for a scrub-n-soak, and. . .

The rest I'll leave up to your fevered imaginations!

Love, Robin

I think I'll pick Liz. I think I'll give her a cruise(one that has no sickness,of course!) The poor woman  really needs a vacation,after dealing with everyone's problems all year long. It's a wonder she hasn't pulled all her hair out! Because when anyone has problems at Collinwood,they're HUGE!   ;D

Lo and behold I've reached in and pulled out the name of Amanda Harris. Yes, Sheenasma, I said Amanda Harris.  ;D

My gift to Ms. Harris is two-fold. First, a $100.00 gift certificate to Victoria's Secret. Secondly, I will offer my services in 'allowing' her to model for me whatever
item(s) she purchases with said certificate.   ;) Bob

The name I've picked was that of David Collins.  I'm giving him a basketball and a hoop.  The boy could certainly use a healthy activity to occupy himself, since chasing ghosts with Amy did no-one any good. ;)

Well, what do you know?  I got the Bellboy in the TIGHT uniform (played by Brian Sturdivant)!  Let's just say that when he brings my bags to my room, I'll be giving him a VERY generous tip...

When I pull my name out of the hat two stuck together.  I got Willie and Mrs. J. and they are both getting Merry Maids.  Taking care of those houses single handedly they both need a break.

Feeling very generous I am going to buy Barnabas some casual clothes.  Wouldn't it be nice to see him in something other than a suit and tie.

YIKES! Hey, I realize you wanted to stick with on OZ theme, but that's getting too close for comfort.  I don't want him in the next state! If we're taking up a collection for a one-way ticket, how about Outer Mongolia?

Well... since I know what's coming up in the story, and who she is going to marry (gag me with a Punishment Book),  I'm going to splurge and give Magda some gold coins for a Good Vibrations Voodoo Wand.  ;)

On reading this, I flashed to the scene in Pulp Fiction when Travolta and Jackson, having soiled their black suits, had on t-shirts and shorts! Somehow, I just can't picture Barney in that get up! Maybe, a nice cashmere sweater and Dockers though....

Hi Cassandra...[wavey]

In as much as LAFB would like you to THINK it's Barnabas "at her place", I feel it is my duty to tell you the scene is from the movie, Seizure.
I don't run a house of ill repute here.  (Well, not usually)

LOL! Oh come now Connie, be honest! (just kidding)

Actually I've never seen this movie and have heard alot of crummy reports on it, but hey, if J.F. looks this good in it I just might try to get a hold of it anyway!  Thanks! ;-)

No one picked Roger, so I'll pick up the slack.

Speaking of casual clothes for Barnabas I went shopping yesterday at Brewsters and picked up a several things I think he'd like.  Some nice low riding jeans, a soft greenish plaid flannel shirt and a nice sheep skin rug he can stretch out on in front of the fireplace (with me of course).

I'm starting my 2014 Christmas shopping early, and (if I haven't misunderstood the rules) getting the guy Tate created by drawing him in 1897 a nice big loudspeaker/megaphone, because that's just the kind of guy I am.  What kind that really is I'm not sure...
