'Shorts sharp dash for freedom!

I arrived back home to find that...

* cue Orff's O Fortuna (that's the music from The Omen and the Old Spice ad to you heathens) *

... the house was full of noxious fumes. Opening the windows and doors, and fanning the smog with Broom, revealed this:



Holy crap! The Freakin' Green Elf Shorts had escaped from their metal prison!

I rushed through the house to find them just about to squeeze through the bathroom window. Not wanting to touch the vile things with my bare hands, I held out Broom in an attempt to snag them on it, but Broom wasn't having any of it and twisted away. I watched in shock as The 'Shorts slid out of the window and into the garden. Even the rose bush and the passiflora had the sense to recoil out of the way.

Blast!

How will I ever find them now?

  5. Certainly not intentionally. Whatever are you implying, Tim?

    : What a fabulous idea! Do you find yourself involved in car chases, leaps from tall buildings, games of deadly, deadly cat & mouse with spies?

    Cyberpete: Ha ha! You said it!

    Watch it, Snooze. They may be coming for you!

  7. I suspect they might have gone "ferel" and may be living in the woods! watch out for pets and livestock being attacked in the area

  8. You'll do anything to put off this compo, won't you?

    Don't think I don't recognize a stalling technique when I see one.

  14. Spreadable. On toast.

    Note that SID had The Shorts before they ever got round to me and is therefore responsible for the buildup of noxious fumes.
