Man was this scary!!!

[BAMSS04]

I had to tell my poop- family about this.

Its five thirty in the AM here in Memphis. About thirty mins ago, I was dreaming about some one stalking and killing my family, while they were sleeping. I awoke to a "Pop" ( like a gunshot ) it was loud. I keep three things by my bed, one is a glass of water , the other is an alarm clock, and the last is a very big shotgun. I grabed the shotgun and proceeded to check each of the rooms in my place. One by one I turned on the lights checked the closets , bathrooms, coat room. The whole place and quickly. I got to the front door and low and behold there is someone pushing on the door hard. I take my positon right behind where the door will swing open. It does. Hard. I wait and in the darkness a short little person walks throgh my door. I put that shotgun to the back of the perons head and tell them to "freeze". I get the lights. ITS MY [censored] BROTHER. (His wife kicked him out and he needed a place to crash so he thought he would break into my place for the evening).
I don't have to tell you about the puddle of pee I had to clean up from under my brother.

My heart was racing and I was freaked so bad I can't sleep anymore. So I thought I would tell you all about my dream/ real thing.

Needless to say I gave my brother a key to the house, and told him that no matter what time to call. Because If I would have woke up to someone walking around my house I'd be short a brother, instead of having a short brother.

Anyway, I am proud of myself. I reacted just the way I hoped I would, quickly, quietly, and I kept my wits about me. I did not react like a crazy person and start blowing holes in every closed door in the house, and kill first and ask questions later. (which is what I thought I would do) Anyway, I thought I would share.

Holy crappola batman! I don't have any clue how to respond. Just relieved that you and your brother are both ok...

[Razorback]

I had a similar incident a few years ago where I was "tested." I too was impressed with my reaction... I didn't shoot anyone and I don't think that the dude even saw my weapon. However, I sure felt better knowing that I had the power to explode his brains all over the back door if he did the wrong thing.

MWUAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went too far again, didn't I?

[TLS]

Wow, that is scary. I'm glad you both are ok.

I hate to admit this, but when I hear noises in my house I do what any wuss would do, I hide under the blankets and think that it's ok, my cat will get 'em. Though recently I've found that the noises I hear, is my cat, jumping down from the fish tanks. Stupid cat.

[BAMSS04]

Yeah, normally I would have thought it was just my dog, but she was at my mom's house so I knew it wasn't her. Combine that with the dream, and the fact that Memphis has a lot of B&E's( I think we're like second on the Murder list under Miami as well) made me be as nervous about it was I was. My brother learned a very important lesson last night.

Did someone break into your house or just lurking around your back door?

[RobinHoodDaffy]

And that is why THIS guy has no gun. I don't want to be in that situation. I have a number of staves by the side of my bed and that is a bit more my speed. ( I guess that is why I collect them instead of guns.)
I feel for ya, and congratulations on handling yourself so well.

[TLS]

You collect staves? Isn't that like a stick or something?

Back porch... 2am. Standing by the sliding door looking in.

[TLS]

Did you know the person? If not, then how did you get rid of the dude?

[RobinHoodDaffy]

Yeah, I guess you could say a staff was like a stick. You may not belive this, but I have a slight "Robin Hood" fixation. Yes, hard to belive I know. I sucked at archery though (nearsightedness is a bitch). However, I was much mor nimble with a sword or quarterstaff. All, theatrical fighting, no martial arts, so I would get my ass kicked by anyone who knew what he\she was doing. So, I started collecting staves and walking sticks. I have not tons, but a good number. They live in my corner with my plastic light sabers, don't think they would help in case of a break-in though /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

You, a Robin Hood fixation? Nooo. I don't believe ya.

Actually it took me a minute to get that. Not to be mean or anything, but sometimes I get you and Robo the Hood mixed up. I know, you probably hate me now. The only defense I have is that your names are somewhat similar. Sort of.

I don't know, ocassionally it hits the news of people getting beaten with sticks. So they might help.

As for your lack of skills in archery, I can kinda relate. I took it in school and was doing fine until I somehow managed to slice my arm. Not sure how it happened, it was all too quick. So now I play with ninja stars. Oooh, fun.

I did not know the dude. I scared him off by swinging the door open and screaming at him.

[BAMSS04]

Thanks all!

Yeah, we are both fine. Freaked out but fine. My brother is just thanking his lucky stars I wasn't trigger happy. As am I. ( Adam (my brother) said that he can still feel the gun on the back of his head)

[FanGirl]

Ah, the mark of a true poopshoot board member. Something happens and you have to share. I love it.

I'm glad nothing bad came out of this. Now start dreaming about coming into some money and you'll be set!

[TLS]

It was probably one of those religious guys trying to get you to buy their bible or something. They're kinda nosey like that.

[Razorback]

At 2am? I don't think so. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

[TLS]

I don't know, they can be pret-ty sneaky. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

[DangerSeeker]

I'm just picturing you doing that whole "Ha! Ho! Parry! Thrust!" *SPROING* routine. Had to use a bo staff, didn't you?

I'm with TLS on the shurkien. Wicked cool ninja weapon.

[DangerSeeker]

But if he comes into money, he might not want to put it in his wallet!

[RobinHoodDaffy]

Yoinks, and Away!

Unless you have the real deal, the plastic one would be pretty much useless. /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

Oh come on, no one thought that was funny?

BAM!

It's not just a screen-name, anymore.

Now this brings up an interesting thought, what if the resurrected Jesus, was infact, Zombie Jesus. He could have been like, here check out my nail holes, now let me at your Brainssssssssss

[jjcourtright]

Real Jesus walks faster than Zombie Jesus.

Duh. You make him come to you to show off his nail holes.

[DangerSeeker]

He fed the zombie hordes with but two brains.

ummmmmmmm, sacre-lishiousssssss.

[karmattack]

Yeah, and I thought the picture at my aunt's house was freaky....the way the eyes always followed me around, undressing me.

[jjcourtright]

Your aunt has a picture of Zombie Jesus? I hope you didn't have to spend much time there as a kid.

[Mighty_Wingman]

Suffer the little childeren to come unto me , because their brains are tender as veal.

"Barabas... they're coming to get you Barabas!"

[FanGirl]

Anyone else see the swirling black holes under our feet that seem to open just a little bit further with every one of these posts? Not that I'm against them, but I would at least like the comfort of the handbasket on the way down. If you make me laugh at this one more time, I swear the demons are going to revoke my handbasket priveldges and I listened to a lot of Black Sabbath to get those rights.

[Mighty_Wingman]

Sing for the Lord (http://www.creemmagazine.com/BeatGoesOn/SingForTheLord/JesusWasAZombie.html). A great article, couple years old, but relevant to the conversation.

[DangerSeeker]

What would Zombie Jesus sing at karaoke? I think "Eat the Rich."

[BAMSS04]

Thriller?

[Dave]

No, no i believe it would be the old Hymn "Up From The Grave He Arose"

[jjcourtright]

I think he would choose irony and go with, "Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam."

[BAMSS04]

He would more than likely just eat everyone at the bar.

He might even enjoy his meal with some some fava beans and a nice chianti. (http://soundamerica.com/sounds/movies/S-T/Silence_of_the_Lambs/census.wav)

[DangerSeeker]

If they had more Dead Kennedys, he could do something off of Frankenchrist.
