A Canadian in Ireland

Ow!

looks good

( - hope your fingers heal soon)

Yes, this is what the blood-hungry gods of DIY always want...glad it wasn't worse! And good work with the chest of drawers

Nice chest! Did you leave any blood in it? Just a flesh wound, I've cut myself worse shaving. Must have hurt, though.

Nice DIY! Take care of those fingers -- you need 'em!

Nice. Did you pop those blood blisters? (sorry, I used to be a first aider, it's all very interesting to me )

I'm getting concerened. All this talk about cut fingers. Medals will be struck.
One for me, becuz I'm brave enough to read about all this.
And one for you, becuz you have not flinched in the telling

"But it's all fresh for you, poor thing"

That's the problem. I don't hear a word about you for millennia.
Except for some vague rumour, from Sky Captain, about "Mickeyjoe away somewhere on a mission".

Then you return from Krypton with your indestructible digits damaged.

I can tell you it unnerved me to learn about that.

You could be right

ok - no more joking

No, its ok, Clar.. damn! - nearly gave away our 'little secret' - I mean Kal.
It's really Ok Kal. there are some things you and I cannot openly speak of here.
But if I say certain buzzwords - such as "faster than a speeding pizza", "able to leap tall Giants Causeway stones at a single bound" you will know that your 'mission' is safe with me. I don't live in Calgary, Ireland or Kansas but if there is one thing I know it is this - you are here for a purpose. and it has nothing to do with damaging your digits. Ok Kal, if there's any way I can help you get over this propensity to cut yourself like one of the humans do then call me. I have a place buried far up north where you can play around with a lot of crystals and see Marlon Brando, if you are really tripped out.

Up up and away...

Ikea?

"Thanks Loku, I knew I could count on your discretion"

Discretion is my byeword
and no one will ever see what I wrote to you, K.

blooooooooooooooooooooood...

...for the DIY goooooood...

I wouldn't have done better than you actually.

both of them!

All DIY requires a sacrifice. I have seen entire small villages in the west offered up, just for a mid sized bookcase from Atlantic Homecare.
And even then the center shelves started to bend after a couple of months.

The Gods of hammer and saw must love the blessed mickeyjoe (assuming your fingers didnt turn black, wither up and fall off)
May your monument hold aloft a bed side lamp for eterniny.

...Hope your fingers get well soon...

sprogger - "the blessed mickeyjoe", as he is now known among the clergy in Ireland, is venerated because of all that has happened. And when they bring stout sensible colleens to his shrine (yet to be made out of canvas and wood, as soon as his hand heals) they may well beg, in hushed respectfullyyours tone, "give us a sign that shows us the way"... he will smile encouragingly, then he will lift his two fingers up in a meaningful gesture of sentiment.

I submit to you that the blessed and revered Mickeyjoe has no need for the veneration of the lesser clergy of other organized religions. Being as he is the spiritual leader and founder of his own religion.


The Church Of The Walkers God
And having foreseen the calamitous accident in his future even established a branch to deal with the DIY Gods.

The Order of the Wholly Hammered
As with most religions there are disagreements, in this case whether its wholly or holy

Reverendneverend scrogger, I have heard it mooted - among factions on the fringe who style themselves after a mythic math hero (known for proclamations such as "the pi is falling!" - that the order (whose mighty emblazon I see here) should be known as The Order of the Hole He Hammered .

Pray tell me Brer scrogger whether such a notion be a blasphemy or a bless for me?

I fear that it is my dreadful duty to inform you that you have been led astray by blasphemers and heretics, the veritable underbelly of the blessed and holy institution that is the COTWG.

They were purged from the church and their names stricken from the records, their ashes scattered across the world

And as for their proclamations " the pi is falling " I say HA! unto that for surely everyone is aware that pi is a mathematical constant.

Oh lordy!! tis the revered one him self.

Hows the digits doing

"....I say HA! unto that for surely everyone is aware that pi is a mathematical constant. "

...but surely, O wise and muchgrovelledto, Supereme revnevdng,.. surely this is all pi in the sky? Has not a far eastern duo, they of the non-rounded viewing ports, increased the value of the constant, thus rendering it in to an inconstant? It is recorded in 2002 (the only year that ever immediately followed the year 2001) that two Japanese scientists calculated pi to 1.24 trillion digits using 400 hours of supercomputer time. Written in 9-point New Courier font this number would extend for 1.5 million miles.

I am confused. Both my brain cells are in conflict.
O please resolve this heretical thought within my capacious, save for the two cells, brain, O mighty etcetera.

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
Douglas Adams

Yea verily and forsooth let the word go forth the the only truth is The Word. The Word as Spoken by the trice blessed one, the walker, bearer of the staff of freedom, the outcast genius, spiritual leader and all round good egg... Mickeyjoe.

His very presence can change natural laws for even gravity must obey The Word. Pi is but nothing before his grandeur, a mere sliver of a slice you might say.

So oh misled primer let me add that even if your duo from the ultimate west were correct in their blasphemous preaching of the inflated value of Pi. That very argument would prove that Pi is not falling but rising instead.

I will add, though I am unworthy, in HIS words
"Mmmm... Pi"

I feel that if you study this scripture, you shall recieve enlightenment.

Though it may take years or even a lifetime of dedicated study and meditation.

If all else fails, a bottle of holy Irish communion whisky. When you awake you will find that your doubts will have vanished, along with a chunk of the previous evenings memories.


Yadda blessings yadda yadda holy things.

Oh my , look what I've missed whilst on holiday.

Ouch.

When I hurt myself on stuff, I throw it out...

Pictures! Let's see if it rivals Hungry's toenails!

..I wave my Loku wand and pfffft! all rings are vanished

That's true. Well now you can tell your friends 'I went through a lot of blood and tears to put that cabinet together'

Verily, I have learned a lesson.
I shall not encircle here again

Nice job Mickey J

But looks like a real painful task completed.
Fingers still all messed up?

Well just let me go find a hammer, i can fix that for you real quick

Phew...
Somehow I am relieved to hear that.
