Mount Olympus Annual Picnic

Um...your eel wrangling oil has a softening effect? How do you grab 'em then? Is my wicked little mind acting up again?

Its all in the wrist action Halfwise, its an ancient technique rarely practiced in these modern times, bit like shoeing a horse, or reforging Elvish blades.

Wassat? Wrist action! What did I miss?

I can do Chinese Burns too so watch it Petty!

{{{ should I ask? .... no ... best not to know....but I'm really curious....keep it under control Halfwise! }}}

...hey what about my eel oil... hey that could work!!

oh mrs figg
you bring hope
in my despair!

i know the power
or your magic
encryptionyting
stone-turning
and others not
to be mentioned.

please please
rub me all over
with your magic
eel oil and i
shall be forever
in your debt!

I am putting all
my faith and trust
in you as hostess
of this picnic to
not leave me here
as a @#%$ing rock!

O why didnt I think of it sooner! carrot juice is what we need! yep it says here


you have to spread it thickly on the effected areas.. hang on....tra lalalal!


....erm.... ....on this part? ...spread on thickly and then wait for a few minutes..

-sniff-sniff-what the hells that terible smell? -sniff-oh is that Mrs Figgs shiny behind, again- -sniff- nope not that. Oh it really is awful.-hey! Why is my bottle opener gone orange?

crikey now Daves turned to stone AND orange!.............. I'll get my coat.

we need the big cheese on this one....PETTY!!!!! HELP!!!!!! we need wizarding.

Whoa! Thank you Mrs Figg! That seems to be working! Now just let me sit her a moment and make sure all the bits are still working......

Fine leave to me as always! Right first thing- need to find an open orifice somewhere- now let me see.

Mmm, nope the obvious choice-the MOUTH! - is pretty closed, ears not deep enough...dont think I'll check under the fig leaf. Ah well round the back it is.....aha!...anyone got a hose?

He moves around a lot for a statue Mrs Figg- stay still until I get this hose in David or you'll never be cured.

....and the next thing is to find Petty and demonstrate to him why the "insert and twist" method of opening buckie bottles is NOT appropriate

well it seems to be working, but something has shrunk

You know Mrs Figg I dont think hes a staue anymore at all and I havent evan began pouring in the buckie/chili sauce mix yet- but hey, no point wasting it now. In it goes!

thank goodness its his hands that have shrunk, they were abnormally large hands.

There may be a few more abnormalities when that Buckie/chili mix hits him- best stand back Mrs Figg....no much further back!

PETTY!!!

Thats the ticket!

Now I'll just be running away, far away over here until the smoke has stopped coming out of Daves ears and the flames from his, other end Do remind him in my absence Mrs Figg I did cure him, sort of.

OO look he's turned orange, no thats just the spray tan probably.

after reading up what's happened...

Um I just checked with the wizards at the buckie brewery, it was chilled buckie I was to use- not chilli buckie- um, sorry Dave! Do you think he can hear me from on top of this temple?

no Petty, and when he does, you should be far far away :S

Norc I cant get any further away without leaving the picnic- and I left a buckie down there.
