Oh yeah, I'm down with the sickness.
Great thing about a ripping cold is the fevers.
"Say what?" you may ask.
Yes, the fevers. I get wicked cool dreams with a roaring fever.
The dream starts on a cruise ship. Not any cruise ship, but one with a kukri convention going on. Not just any kukri convention, an HI kukri convention!!
We're all standing around while Bura is up on the weather deck with his little forge and anvil, giving demos of kuk forging. Not long into the dream, there's some screams, and I look over and there's this bunch of pirates coming over the rail dressed up kind of like an African version of a ninja, complete with machetes.
They run up, screaming war cries and stop in front of Bura, yelling something at him. He looks up at them with an annoyed look on his face, stands up, and brains the one closest to him with his (probably hot) hammer, then gets back down and starts working again.
The pirates look at him like "WTF?"
Just at that time, B.C. Molin runs through with his sherpa hat on, with one of those squeaky party favors that unrolls when you blow into it. He's alternating blowing the party favor and shouting "Bura's number one! Bura's number one!" while shaking a bottle on champagne over his head. As he runs off, the pirates are just standing there like they don't know what to do looking after him.
I take this time to get my kukri out -- my 20"CAK from its baldric -- and clearly see two M43s and Chainpure out of the corners of my eye. The pirates look back at us and realize they are now standing in the midst of about a hundred kukri wielding maniacs. We all get out a bellow and charge them. They run.
After a bit of hacking, slashing, stabbing, and slipping on blood and guts, chasing the pirates throughout the ship, they finally get up top and what's left of them jump over the railing to the "safety" of the shark infested waters below.
Yangdu calmly walks up and leans on the railing, looking down, and says "Should not have tried to hijack a ship with kukri convention going on."
Someone yells "Let's go back before Bura gets pissed that no one is paying attention!"
I wake up.
Thought it was cool myself.
If only it could happen in real life. . .
