The Betrayal Of The Lurker: Finale

In the last episode of The Alliance vs The Arse Licking Cat aka Pat Hatt it appeared as if The Angry Lurker had betrayed Anne O'Leary, CEO of O'Leary Air.  Or had he.....

On a deserted airfield a plane lands and a large man disembarks. Could it be?

Why yes, it appears as if the Dictator of Franonia has flown into Serbia for a secret meeting with The Alliance.

Anne O'Leary, CEO of O'Leary Air  escorted the Dictator to Shenanigans Pub for his covert meeting with Dez, the co-founder of The Alliance.

Under deep cover (of a straw cowboy hat) the Lurker turned over the intelligence he gathered while  doing recon on the domicile of the Arse Licking Cat.


What follows may be to horrible for those of gentle spirit.

The feline offender was caught red-pawed looking at "kitty porn"

Despite the Cat's friend Emilio's effort at clawing the cameraman this video was filmed during broad daylight.

Rumors that the Cat's long time paramour, the Viking Lady, had given birth to their spawn were confirmed.

The child, who has feet like a chimpanzee was seen feeding himself beer.

And an act so heinous even the Pope cried was filmed later that day.

In a subterranean level of his domicile, the Cat shoots human children out of the arse end of an elephant.

Now I ask you people of the world "Should this feline offender not be wiped from the face of the earth?"

And the last remaining question to be answered. "Has Anne O'Leary defected to Rayonia"

Not bloody likely. I did manage to gather some intel while on my "visit" to Rayonia and I smuggled it across the border in the one place neither Ray nor any of his men would dare to look.

In me knickers.

I've got a little time to play with you Hooligans today and I'd like to have some fun. Later this evening I'm off to hospital to be with the love of my life who is now awake.

Surgery Update

Many of you have kindly sent emails asking me how the Hubby is and I promised to write a post that gives some details that better explain things.  First I'm going to put up a picture that won't look bad on your blogrolls before I begin.

The Hubby is in critical condition and is on life support.  The best way to explain this is by use of a picture.

The surgeon opted to access the spine by going in through the front rather than through the back.  An incision was made at the midline of the neck and the vocal cords, trachea and esophagus were moved and clamped to one side for the entire length of the surgery which took about 12 hours.  Two discs were removed and a double fusion of three vertebrae was done. The compression on the spinal cord was so severe that the function that the Hubby has lost will never be regained.  At the moment there is sensation in all limbs.

He is currently being kept in a light coma and will be on life support for an indeterminate amount of time.  He will be in hospital for a minimum of two weeks and maybe more depending on complications.

Because the trachea and vocal chords were displaced so far and for so long, the Hubby will have to learn how to swallow again. He will require speech therapy and may lose the ability to speak depending on how much damage was done to his vocal chords during surgery.  We won't know the extent of the damage until later.

Currently I am at home for a break while his mother takes over. We will take turns so that the Hubby is never alone. This is not an easy thing to write about and it's not an easy thing to endure, but getting emotional on blogger will not help me so I'm not going to talk about how I feel at the moment.

I will be around to read blogs today and to comment, but I have to get some sleep first as it has been a long week.  I have put my comments on moderation today as I don't know how late I will be sleeping in. I hope you all understand.

W.I.P. Meet The Ladies

Currently I have four pieces on the painting table and this is a first for me.  Prior to this I have only worked on one piece at a time and realized that it was time to learn something new.

The first miniature is from Dark Sword Miniature and is a 32mm scale figure. This was sculpted by Jeff Grace and as usual with this manufacturer the quality is superior. On this figure I have begun to do some highlighting.

Meet Elsie, fellow blogger and member of The Alliance. Not only is Elsie an Elfin Princess, but she was the first blogger to be recruited to aid the Alliance in ridding the world of the feline offender Cat Yes folks, the story of The Alliance vs The Arse Licking Cat will be coming to you in 3D. (Elsie, your arm will be glued on later).

The next figures are Malifaux from Wyrd Miniatures and are 32 mm scale.  These figures are Ronin and were sculpted by James Van Schaik.  I felt like it was time for me to paint something other than Dark Sword miniatures so I could compare product lines and learn something new as a painter.

The first thing I noticed was the quality of the casting. There were a lot of mold lines, a lot of fletching and a lot of imperfections.  When compared to Dark Sword miniatures, which sell at the same price point, I found this to be an inferior product.  The poses are dynamic and the detailed sculpt of the musculature is what carries these figures.  I also discovered that the paint behaved differently on these figures and it took me several attempts to alter my technique to adjust for this.

I have done nothing more than apply a base coat to these figures. I know the slots are upside down, but I will buy new bases and new inserts soon and use those.

This my fellow blogger Jax and she's a wild cowgirl. She's wearing sunglasses which you'll be able to see when I'm done painting.

Meet MaMTC another fellow blogger and she's packing some serious heat here.

And this is my daughter The Spawn.  There's never a good time to run into her. Even without the gun she's scary.

What will these girls do, you ask?  Why they will be saving us all in the terrible days to come. For there is an apocalypse on it's way. Something far more sinister, far more frightening and far more epic than the Zombie Apocalypse.  

THE DINOSAUR APOCALYPSE!!

I found this bad boy when I went outside to water my flowers yesterday. He scared me shitless.

And these bastards were attacking my roses. I thought Japanese Beetles were going to be problem this summer, but they don't make a spray to kill these guys.  So it's up to the Ronin to slay them in battle!!  

The Hubby is scheduled for surgery tomorrow and I should blog again on Thursday or Friday when I'll have the finale of The Betrayal of The Lurker posted.

I want to take a moment to say this about the Hubby. I am a lucky woman to have married this man and I will be lucky no matter how this surgery turns out. I love him more today than I did on the day we met, because our love is tempered by time and maturity. We have been together for 25 years and married for 23 of those come November. Our love will go the distance.

Anne O'Leary Takes On The Angry Lurker

The shocking news that two Irish people are engaged in a smack-down of epic proportions is rocking the blogosphere.  The Irish are known the world over for their tolerance, their gentleness when dealing with each other and their short memories (insert sarcasm here).  What could possibly have rattled the cage of the normally sanguine Anne O'Leary, CEO of O'Leary Air and co-founder of The Irish/Serbian Gossip Alliance?

Has anyone seen this man?

In a public statement made last week The Angry Lurker aka Fran, the Dictator of Franonia sided with Pat Hatt aka as The Arse Licking Cat in in an altercation between the feline offender and The Alliance.

The face of an innocent woman.

O'Leary who is known as a woman of gentle speech and who is known to rarely cuss "flipped her shit" after hearing of the betrayal.  The diminutive O'Leary was heard to threaten the big Irishman by "throwing dishes at him" and by "shaking him so hard his teeth rattle in his head."  

Dez, longtime friend of O'Leary and co-founder of the Alliance was heard to say "I'm so shocked I can't move" and "Annzie, the lurking snake bites you."

In a recent post Angry stirred the pot by suggesting that O'Leary is planning to defect to Rayonia. The Dictators followers responded by enthusiastically demanding the death/stoning/shooting of O'Leary.

The question "What is behind the Lurker's betrayal?" remains unanswered. Speculation runs wild with some insisting that the Lurker had to have been bought off by the poo eating Cat, while others claim it was nothing more than a momentary lapse of reason on the part of the Dictator.  Conspiracy theories are beginning to circulate that the two Irish people hatched this mad scheme on their own in order to infiltrate both the headquarters of The Arse Licking Cat and the rebel Ray of Rayonia.

Stay tuned to this blog for further updates.

News on The Hubby:  The Hubby's surgery is scheduled to take place on Tuesday of next week. Thanks to all of you for your concern and your prayers.
