Case of stupidity
In reply to Jacob Williams (msg # 34):
Why in the sphincter of stupidity, do people always read from ancient evil texts aloud?!
Mummy is on, she does it, raises Imhotep. Evil Dead 1 &2, in the first one they listen to a recording of an archaeologist reading from Necronomicon, which raises evil spirits, which also means when he read it they raised evil spirits. In the sequel, sortof sequel, dumbass girl reads the words. Cabin in the words, dumbass girl reading the diary of evil pagan cannibal hillbillies, thus raising a family of evil pagan cannibal hillbilly zombies.
You get the picture. Have these people lost the ability to read Silently?
Do the forces of evil intentionally target less than intelligent idiots with no internal monologue?
I understand writers need something to propel the plot. But really, it's along the lines of people suddenly developing a case of the stupids just to screw stuff over and progress storyline.
In conclusion, if I am ever n a group in anything resembling a creepy setting (cemetery, old creepy houses, ruins, caves, Chuck E Cheese) and some moron starts reading something strange and unusual out loud. Fuck it. What Would Mike Milligan Do? Shoot 'em in da face. Oh yeah, and double tap.
Anyone else just get an image of Mike shooting a large Mouse in the face with a double barrel in a Pizza restaurant and knocking into a pool of those multi-colored balls with children screaming, not realizing he just kept them all from becoming a bunch of flesh eating freaks?
You're welcome.
(ooh, I just thought up a new mission for Dresden!)
