I would fight through a room of 4 year olds to get this pack. Hey! Don't judge me! Those little monsters can kick some butt, low to the ground can cause a lot of pain. ;) LMAO

Katie I would never judge you about four year olds cuz I have been to chuckie cheese and it is the scariest place on earth. I would fight a swarm of bees off with nothing but windex and a spatula to beat them off with... which may not have been the first time I've done this. I got skills and experience.

Hey was looking for your new cover. Maybe I couldn't find it on my tiny iPhone screen. Can't wait to read it.

I would fight for this for the coveted pair prize pack and deal with 60 kids on field trip to the neighborhood pumpkin pack and trying to maintain order with all the kids. I would use my handy dandy whistle and rope to keep the kids in line.

I would also fight for this in the supermarket and the last pizza was in stock for the dinner time, and I would use my lip gloss to look good , and fight the evil so I could feed my family for dinner tonight.

Love the newest cover..gushing again.

I would fight through a room full of vicious book bloggers intent on winning MY Gater Pack One PRIZE!!! MY PRECRIOUS -- MINE MINE!!!And I would use my mouse pad as a shield and swing my mouse by the cord and *THWACK* their heads to fight them off. A few well placed kicks with my size 12 feet in a pair of Doc Martin's wouldn't hurt either. Yeah -- that's what I'd do... cause that's how I roll!

I'd fight a horde of ninjas!!!(Don't ask how I came up with it, it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the question!) As weapons I would ue anthing I could find like knives, forks, my brother's cell phone, a vase etc.

Is it just a random pen in the prize pack or does it have a special mad skill...?? LOL

I have a very hefty mouse...I would use my mouse to bash heads. I actually have an alienphobia {an ugly alienphobia} because of reading Whitley Strieber's Communion at an early age {http://www.illuminati-news.com/ufos-and-aliens/html/jordon-file.htm}. So, I would beat those grey aliens with the big eyes in the head with my big arse mouse. And then grab that pen with the mad skillz and poke them in the big eyes.

@Sully -- LOL how'd I know it'd be zombies??? And what a brave McPig to be covered in BBQ sauce! :D

I'd fight through a gaggle of geese while wearing stale bread jewelry with only a toothpick to fend them off.

(I'm terrified of geese. They're spawns of satan -- just saying)

To win this fabulous prize I would fight those 'Jersey Shore' kids - Every. Last. One. Of them!

I would use their own tactics against them - acrylic nails to gouge out their eyes, spray fake tan in their ears/eyes/mouth (thanks to Kitty for the inspiration!), boil them in the hot-tub and punch The Situation in his 'situation'.... Yeah. I would go ninja Guidette on their asses (and probably blast some Metallica while doing it!)

I would fit through a pit of non venomous snakes and trust me with my phobia of snakes that is saying alot. I can't even watch a tv show with a snake without picking my feet up. My household item of choice would be my handy bottle of compressed air. It packs a mean spray and up close it would totally drop those slithering yuckies body temperatures.

October 1, 2010 at 5:00 PM  
Blogger Marnie said...

Lisa - I agree I would totally fight all you in the nicest way possible since you are all Hook me Uppers to get this Gator Pack. I would cover you all with flour and then get you all wet -- sticky wet flour would stop you as I run for the Gators (thank goodness their not snakes).

I'd fight through a hangover, tired, nasty crowd of early morning commuters to get the last post on the only train leading to the awesome Gator Pack.
My weapon of choice would be of my messenger bag, because you just can't go wrong with heavy, blunt objects filled with smaller, heavy objects.
They'd never know what hit them! (Actually, it would be a laptop, a neuroscience book, my physiology notes and the usual clutter in my bag;-) )

Alright, well I would fight whatever gets thrown at me. I'm not going to be picky. The same goes for weapons - I'll take what I can get. Like Kitty, I carry around a gigantic purse. I've got all kinds of goodies stuffed in there, including mini febreze, a travel umbrella, hand sanitizer, my ipod and all the cables for it, my cellphone with charger, a hairbrush, bobby pins, a couple of pens, my keys - which of course include a keychain pepper spray. I am all about being prepared. I think I've got quite a few weapons on me at any given moment - I could definitely do some damage. I also played high school softball and still keep some gear in my car trunk - so that could also be put to use. I was a pitcher - so I have got an arm as well :)

PS have you ever been surrounded by a swarm of 4 year olds? I think not...or you too would call for the sweet bliss of death. lol

I would fight through a crowd of pre-teen girls at a boy band concert to get this ARC. I would use CDs and t-shirts to fight, by throwing them away from me and thus clearing a path when the girls chased the swag.

I'd offer to fight through a horde of four-year-olds but I've done that before and I still have the scars. The trick is to put something very expensive and breakable securely up high in a locked cabinet. Then, while they are merrily smashing it into a million pieces, you just walk past.

:::Sharpening the edges of my mousepad:::: @Kate -- this *will* get ugly...

With my mouse shield in hand and swinging my corded mouse above my head I run headlong into battle with Katie and the undead sheep. I tackle them head on, Doc Martin kicks maiming sheep left and right. Pausing only to use shield to shave the wool off their skins. One sheep.... Two sheep...three sheep...fou....Zzzzzzzzz

@Katie with the power of sheer will, I combat the sleepiness your army of sheep cause. Soon your army is nothing but a horde of fleshly and bewildered animals. Their fur removed and discarded on the ground *THWACK*STOMP*KICK*THWACK* Katie goes down. She screams to her sheep to attack.. but before they can make a move. I put two fingers in my mouth and whistle like sailor.

Suddenly the night is filled with they baying howls of wolves..... my wolves. I turn and see 300 hungry wolves crest the peak of the hill. I look back at Katie and scream (like Gerard Butler) ..
THIS.IS.SPARTA!!! ::::plants size 12 Doc Martin center chest - and Katie stays down.

The wolves slowly approach the nervous bunch of undead naked sheep.

I smile and say "Looks like meats back on the menu boys!! ATTAAACK!!!!!!!

You lose.

I Win.

The End.

Now GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE!! Matt you can keep her company *THWACK*

@Matt lol you cant kill zombie sheep. duh we are undead.

And now the sheep have called upon the darkest weapon in they poses. Vile. Unholy. Grotesque.
Little bo Peep has found her sheep. She enters the battle field. Pale and Staff taking the Martin army down in one fatal swoop.
Silence. ALL but the sheep and of course bo Peep remain.
They walk to the front of the line and await the prizes Gini will bestow upon them. :)

@Lacrima I've found the best way to push through a crowd of commuters is to hold your fists up at collar bone height and use your upper arms to gently shove people out of your way. This also protects your goodies from groping by those perverts who don't respect women but do respect fists.

But a heavy messenger bag works too...

Oh yes, I've definitely heard that the season 4 finale was a terrible cliffhanger and I *must* watch the mini series to get a proper conclusion.

Somebody just died and I am so, so tempted to go look up and see if they stay dead. Normally I despise spoilers but they've been dead for a few episodes and it's starting to worry me!

Don't look anything up! Just keep watching it. And yeah season 4 ends that way because at that time the cast thought they were doing a 5th. But word came close to the start of the 5th season that it was cancelled.

The ONLY reason they even got a green light for the mini series was because of the fans demand for it. I know because I sent my letters out when I heard of the movement.
Yeah, big sci fi nerd. lol

Anyway the network had to decide, do we put our money in this and hope it works? Or do we cancel Farscape? So they canceled their bread and butter hoping STG would hit a bigger market.
Its all a bunch of stupid politics. And the fans let them know. :)
Its just too bad, I mean how can u go wrong when Jim Hensen is doing the puppets for Farscape! And Dargo and Erin...and John *makes yummy eyes*

*sigh* Yeah, that sounds like TV networks. The Dresden Files got canceled even though it was SyFy's highest rated show...because women were watching it instead of men, and heaven forbid we get any cooties in our precious science fiction.

And no, I never heard of any Star Trek Generations show. :P Shows you how much of a splash it made.

As a first time fighter, I have to say that I would go through the entire starting line up of every team in the SEC and NFL with nothing but a can of trusty hairspray. Then, I would leap a few tall buildings, fight off a swamp full of gators, and tame a herd (i.e. 70 or so) sugar-high six year olds with a game of Red Rover and a distracting pinata.

That's what I would do to win this most coveted prize (oh...I'd also fight off my fellow commenters; they can pick the weapons, but I'll win.) :)

To get this ilustrious gator pack I would fight a pack of pickled peppers, a mess or murdering muppets, a gang of gigantic geese and a league of leaping lascivious leprechauns.

This of course would be done with everyday office/home supplies of a stapler, cooking spray and a lighter (to make a blow torch or whatever you are fighting flamable), and of course pens which I probably have a hundred of. I assume that the SpongeBob pen would be best for killing. :)

Dang, luckily I was one of the last ones to receive Pai Mei's instructions for the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique so I will just have to be stealthy enough to get close enough to them. I will use my new acquired Stealth Prada Stilettos for this. Easy Peasy.
