The Infamous UK TSA Get-Together

In which four very, very odd people spent a weekend together. These pictures don't really tell the whole story - there's nothing in them about how I ended up with fleas, or the very, very weird Anime Brian brought, or the Weird Al CD, or the 'filk singing' which still gives me nightmares.

Maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

Well - photos follow, with descriptions. Click on the piccies to see an enlarged version. You may also want to take a peek at Ceefax's UK TSA Get-together page.

(Low-bandwidth version available for those with moderate connections.)

Dramatis Personae

Ceefax, raccoon at large, complete with miniature, cuddly version.

Mat (me), whooping triumphantly and holding his kill aloft. Allegedly.

XoYo, preparing dinner.

Brian Flatt, being viciously cuted by Lucifer.

Everyone together. One of the cats is holding the camera, and the other is - well, you don't want to know. (Larger version has labels of who's who.)

Bits and Bobs

Why yes, that is a dog bowl I'm eating from. The red eyes and hairy arms are like that in real life, too.

Within ten seconds of this photo being taken, XoYo's ear had been lacerated.

A sequence showing me bravely intimidating two stuffed toys, then the consequences.

This isn't what it looks like, Officer. The soft toys are after me again.

Don't look too closely at Brian's T-shirt or you'll go blind.

Plushie sheep nuzzling Lucifer affectionately. The next picture in the sequence has, thankfully, been lost.

The other hundred-odd cans wouldn't fit in the photo.

You really don't want to know what this one is about.

I grudgingly allowed the others to have a photo without yours truly in it.

XoYo's Cats

This is Lucifer, the devil incarnate. She enjoys torturing poor innocent doggies (me) by jumping onto their laps and sinking her claws in.

This is Morrigan. She's a sort of inept McCavity, in that wherever mischief occurs she can always be found looking embarrassed.

This is Loki's stunt double. We had trouble keeping him in one place long enough to take a photo, so we just stuck the stuffed toy in about the right position.

Loki, psychotic jungle cat.

Two cats caught looking cute.

The Scene

XoYo's house was used as a film set for several Vietnam movies.

The 54th Air Cavalry Regiment reckons there are still a couple of patrols out there somewhere.
