Even more weird traditions.

From what I can gather, your world makes a rather big deal out of February 14th, correct?

You could say that. It’s a time of love, romance, and chocolate. 🙂

So, why are sewers so special on this day?

What?

You can read. I asked why are sewers so special on this day?

Uh… I honestly have no clue, Fluffy. What are you talking about?

Apparently, in your world, it’s popular to take a loved one on a tour of a sewage treatment plant on Valentine’s day. I don’t quite get it.

Me neither. In fact, I think I could probably have lived very happily without knowing such a thing existed…

You’re welcome. Just doing my job.

Anyways, have a great day!

Ichabod Nickname

Leave a reply

As I mentioned in the FAQ section, I sometimes like going around asking people questions.

Last Friday, the question was, “If you were named Ichabod Eichenberger or Ichenberger, what would your nickname be?”

I hope you intended to make that name sound as ridiculous as possible…

Of course. Please, give me some credit. Although to be fair, I didn’t actually come up with that name; a writer friend of mine did. She’s really talented!

I… see.

Anyways, as I was saying, I randomly asked some friends that on Friday. Here are some of their responses:

Embrace it, and not bother with a nickname. After all, if you do have a name like Ichabod Eichenberger, who is actually going to use your nickname? (Which is a fair point.)

Crane. (Clearly in reference to Ichabod Crane)

Bob. And before you ask, my favorite form of public execution is… (Don’t ask about the last part).

Icky. No, wait: Eichy. (Pronounced Ikey.)

Personally, I think the last person succeeded in making a nickname that sounds fairly reasonable. Almost cute, even!

So that means, alas, that my one friend has not quite succeeded in creating a name that has no shortenable form. I guess she’ll need to try harder next time.

How about you, though? What nickname would you choose? Or what is one name that you can think of that has absolutely no decent shortenable form?

Fluffy Snow!

Snow is delightfully fluffy. Especially when it falls in large flakes. As I’m writing this, it looks like I’m in a world of a snowglobe.

Seriously. It’s gorgeous.

Tree and large snow flakes.

And another:

Snow, tree, and building

So, let me guess. Going off of the logic from Thursday, this qualifies as an over two-thousand word post, rather than less than 100?

You bet!

You know, sometimes I think you’re just lazy.

And other times, I know you’re just lazy.

I’d like to see you do any better, madam McGiggles! Especially when an annoying entity is making snide remarks every few sentences!

I already have. Have you seen my previous posts?

Nonetheless, your challenge is accepted. Tomorrow, I’ll do the “Fluff” again. And rest assured, it will actually have text.

Hm. I’m not sure that’s quite what I meant to do…

Too late. I’m planning out my post already.

Well, see you again tomorrow, folks!

On the bright side, I guess that means I’ll get to make snide remarks. 🙂

If I can…

Anyways, have a great day, and thanks for reading! I’ll see you soon!

Puppy dogs!

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve beaten Fluffy to a “Daily Fluff” post! Anyways, don’t worry. I haven’t actually disappeared.

Darn.

Hey, be nice.

Anyways, I’m here to fix a serious wrong: there still aren’t enough cute animal pictures. And there aren’t really any hosted on this webpage.
I’m going to slightly fix this.

The one on the left is about half-Bichon, half-poodle. The grumpy one on the right is pure-bread Bichon

Wait, those are dogs?

Of course. What did you think they were?

Well, back home we call them “cotton-balls”

…

Anywho, have a great day!

Not to be nosy…

This world has odd customs.

For example, there is an obsession with other countries’ royal families. That never happened back home. True, we celebrated our royal family. And if there were any visiting monarchs, that was also a big deal. But we never made such a commotion over them otherwise. Why in the world would we?

Well, I’m not entirely sure. But I think it has something to do with the fact that we don’t actually have any royalty of our own in America to celebrate, so we borrow other countries’ monarchs.

I guess I can understand that. I don’t think you’ll ever be able to explain imitating a duchess’s nose (offsite) to my full satisfaction, however.

But it’s apparently a nice nose!

See my previous statement. I just don’t understand it.

Super Bowls

Leave a reply

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again. Your world confuses me.

I originally tried to find any of my fellow websites that had information about ice worms. Instead, I found information about something completely different. This celebration totally swamped the other.

Apparently there was an event called “the super bowl.” And it’s apparently one of the most watched events in your country. But I do not understand it.

First of all, why is that event called “football”? I did not see people touch anything resembling a ball with their feet, except rarely. And why are there two types of football in your world? (I do notice that one of them actually makes sense. There’s a very obvious ball, and people kick it. With their feet. Hence, “football”.

Also, why are people punished for too much contact? Back home, we have fantastic tourneys. Oh, and that’s another thing. Where were the weapons? The only one I could see from what I could find in this universe was slightly oval-shaped. And brown. And it didn’t seem to do much harm. Was it valuable? Or does it explode?

I admit, I found the event of making a big deal out of partial illumination bizarre. Was not the stadium in total darkness but minutes before? And what was up with that? Do you consider those people performers? Where were their roles, their lines? The protagonists? And who was the enemy?

In other words, your world is very confusing to me.

Happy Ice Worm Day!

Greetings, my admiring fans!

Don’t get to presumptuous, Fluffy…

Please. I’m an actress. It’s what I do!

Anyways, as I was saying, greetings to you, my dear readers! I have recently come to realize that, as an actual website, I can explore this wonderful universe called “the Internet.” As such, I have tried to learn a bit about your world. I must say, you have some absolute surprises! For example, I had absolutely no idea that ice worms even existed on your world, much less that they have their own holiday!

Ice worms?

You did not know about these remarkable creatures? I assumed everybody knew about them!

It turns out, actually, that today is Ice Worm Day, from what I understand. Ice worms, according to my friend Wikipedia, are a remarkable creature that live in glaciers. Actually, if they get too warm, they melt. Where I come from, we have ice serpents. They too, melt. Actually, that causes quite the problem. If they are unwise and have too much fresh meat, they melt from the inside out. It’s quite nasty, actually.

But back to your world’s worms. Ice creatures of any sort are fascinating. I’m so pleased that your world gives them their own special day!

There are animals that actually melt?!

Excuse me while I try to forget about my fears of stepping in melted snake.

Huh. Not quite the reaction I expected. I’ll need to remember that melting creatures can cause that reaction; it might come in very handy. BWAHAHAHA!

Anyways, I hope you have a great day! And don’t worry, I’m sure that most of the snow you step in doesn’t actually hide any melting ice worms.

Snow.

Hello, readers! I currently live in an area that gets snow.

There are places on your world that do not get snow?

Actually, yes. I used to live in an area that didn’t, so frozen wet stuff that falls from the sky is still quite the novelty, and I’m really enjoying it.

You. Are. Weird.

Hey, be nice.Anyways, one of the things that occurred to me as I was watching the snow fall recently is this:

Giant pillow fight, anyone?

What if a snowstorm is just a huge, tremendous pillow fight? And it’s pillow fluff that’s falling from the skies?

Also, some of the windows make this odd humming sound when there’s wind. So, it actually sounds a bit like a kazoo.

So I have it figured out! Snowstorms are huge pillow fights. Windstorms are some sort of heavenly orchestra. (Don’t ask me why they only have a kazoo.) And blizzards? They’re some sort of epic-snow-storm-movie-scene with orchestral accompaniment. (Still only with kazoo, though.)

Public Service Announcement

Greetings, readers!

I have a public service announcement: I have glow in the dark silly putty.

That is all. Thank you.

Wait, that’s it?

All that build-up, and no content?

Well, this website is called ‘total fluff’. But since you asked…

Shoot. I did not mean to do that…

Here are some picture!

Alien Ooze Smart Mass Thinking Putty

LOTS of putty!

Horse’s Head of Putty. Really.

Isn’t it awesome? If you want your own, you can get it from Thinkgeek.com

Thank you for looking! Have a great day. 🙂

…

That was what you made a ‘public service announcement about?

Ok, for the record, I officially do not know the Webmaster. I’ve never met her face to face. Thank you for your attention.

Have a great day!

Doggies in the Office

Hello, everyone!

I came to the realization that my website is lacking. Tremendously lacking.

You can say that again…

I’m not even going to respond to that.

Anyways, it’s lacking in terms of cute animals. Or animals of any kind. Yes, there’s the crocheted unicorn in the banner, but that’s it.

Today’s fluff is designed to fix that. Without further ado, here’s an offsite link to what would happen if doggies worked in the office.
