A Big Welcome Gordon24

That E-mail was hilarious. That made my night as well. Welcome to our colorful bunch. BAAGS is a great condition to have and to spread

And a big warm welcome from me too, Gordon24.
I almost rolled off my chair with laughing at the email, but I have to say, if you are only on stage 4 of BAAGS, you have a long way to go to catch up with most of us...I am on level 7, and almost ready for the padded cell...(Carte Blanche) springs to mind.

A delightful read!

Gordon 24

I'm happy that you joined our colorful cast of characters.

"Q"

Hi All,

Thanks for the good response, pleased if I brightened a few minutes of your time. Don't worry I'm not really going to take you to court for all your hard earned!

How am I typing this you may ask with a straightjacket on, well I'm using the trusty adventure gamers stick clamped in my teeth. ( Gamers Rule 1 Always pick up a stick when you see one ). It was hanging out of my backpack and I managed to pull it out.

I'm still trying to get out of the jacket so I can access my pack. It contains all the usual, easy to carry items, two buckets of water, a twenty foot ladder, an oil lamp, matches, three rocks, a metal lever, several "exotic plants" and a spade.

I was strapped into the jacket by a man with one leg called Pete, (he didn't say what the other leg was called), but he left me tied up in this room.

Level 7! don't make me laugh, live inside the adventure and enter a new dimension! (Now that's weird!)

Do you want to know how I get on and help me escape?

Cheers
Gordon24

Your Too Funny Gordon....

What was the email?

Hmm, the other leg is called Jack, of course. (Who knows?) Use the stick to turn over the bucket so the water runs under the door. When Pete and Jack run in you ...

Love it, Gordon! I was just commenting on the above to myself the other night while playing Nibiru. I couldn't believe the stuff the main character was stuffing into his pockets. Don't want to list it because it might a spoiler but I think it has been the most bizarre inventory of all the games I've played.

Welcome to GameBoomers. Glad to have another inmate!

Zach read the first page, the very first post. That is what we have all responded to.

Sue

gordon24-- what a wonderful sense of humor you have-- I am enjoying this thread---- Keep it up

Still tied up!

Tried sierramindy's advice and used the stick to tip the buckets of water under the door.

Eureka! ----- Er no. Now I have two empty buckets , a wet floor, and a broken stick.

Its now becoming difficult to type with the shorter stick in my teeth as I bang my nose on the keyboard with each stroke.

By dose is gedding vewy zore dow, bud I mudst go on.

Hang on how does a sore nose change the way I type?

I think I can see a way to get out of the jacket. Is there still any interest out there?

Cheers
Gordon24

awww , hun - now is when you switch to playing your wife,who will untie you with the rope off the 40# pound block of cheeses that she picked up in the pantry,looking for the mop !


Welcome to Gameboomers,Gordon 24 !

Gee, niteowl07,
How in the world do you untie someone with a rope? Or am I reading this wrong? Who am I to talk though since I got Gordon24 into a worse mess after he took my advice? Although I did only mention one bucket of water. BTW, do straitjackets tie in front or back?

Straightjackets as far as the ones I've seen don't tie sierra, they buckle only.

Sue

Hmm -it is a game though,so possibly she drags him with that rope until she gets him someplace she can unbuckle it ? dunno whether he's face down or not either,sierramindy ! LOL

I've had a really long day ! LOL !

So jackets are buckled, not tied, interesting. Does make things harder. Are the buckles plain like on belts, or do they have locks like handcuffs and need a key?
Methinks by the time Gordon24 is dragged through the water and then unbuckled from the jacket he may have lost his sense of humor. Hope not.

Alas my wife cannot help me. She has now given up all hope and abandoned me forever to the world of intrepid adventure. I seem to be alone in this building.

I have had a good look around the room since we last talked (typed?), while I can still see past my keyboard induced, ever-swelling , throbbing nose.

I am in a dilapidated kitchen. It contains several cupboards and drawers, a sink with a dripping tap, and a functioning freezer cabinet. I've tried opening things with my teeth, but I am weak through lack of food, my teeth are tired with typing, and my nose gets in the way.

There is a festering waste bin a in a dark corner from which issues a rustling sound at times, and once I am sure I have seen the reflection in a pair of beady eyes staring at me.

One of the work surfaces has the remnants of some spilled fruit preserve on it which is beginning to go rancid so I'll pass on this to salve my hunger.

I metaphorically "click" on the preserve.

CUT TO VIDEO SEQUENCE (How did I do that? This is for real!)

I shuffle to the bench and manage, using deft acrobatic skills, to rub the preserve onto the buckles and straps behind my back securing the jacket. (So that's why I cut to video, I could never have done that in real life) I move over to the corner by the waste bin and kneel with my back towards it.

A large rat issues from the bin and in his eagerness to eat the preserve (do rats have a sweet tooth?) chews through the straps.

BACK TO REAL ACTION

Ha ha! I wriggle free of the jacket at last and run to the door. All together now the next two words are ----.

It's locked!

Where next? What next? How? Does anybody care?

To be continued? Depends on the thickness of the thread ( if you know what I mean )

Cheers
Gordon24

I can easily think of 2 meanings for "thickness of the thread" and I'm afraid to ask which one you could mean! Oh well, first of all, now that your hands are free, you will need to get something to eat so I hope there is something there in one of the cupboards. (The "Breakfast of Champions" cereal would be good.) With the dripping tap you will be able to get water anyway (now that you emptied both buckets) and that's important because one can live longer without food than without water. (And after dry cereal you might want some water!) About that locked door, maybe after becoming a champion you might break it down? Use a fork to pick the lock?

Soon you may start to hear amysterious voice that says "I can't use that now"

This thread is now getting mightily thin.
Maybe its time to be thinking of packing it in.
Just the odd person is now adding to it.
I'm beginning to wonder just why I still do it.

If you want to find out how I go on and win you
should say so below and then I'll continue. (How's that for a rhyme!)
If you don't then I'll stop as your wishes I'm heeding.
Then its end of the line folks, and thank you for reading.

Cheers
Gordon24
