Encounters

Sometimes, people say great things about Ridley. I haven't updated in a while, but people have said some fantastic things about Ridley. As they are a bit removed in time by now, some of this will be paraphrased, but rest assured that things went down pretty similarly to my memory.

Encounter 1: Ben


Part 1, CLOUDS
Ben hugs Ridley. "What...what material is this??" He asks, clearly shocked by Ridley's extreme squishiness.
"Isn't it just cotton?" someone asks.
"IMPOSSIBLE. This could not be mere cotton!" He replies, aghast. "This is cloud! Ridley is made OF CLOUDS!"

Part 2, MAGIC
Alicia looked up other squishables online, and was flipping out about how cute the shark is. I'll say he's adorable. She was, however, also insisting that Ridley was NOT AS CUTE. I was about to spring to his defense when Ben said this: "What? But Ridley is adorable. He's also MAGICAL, and therefore better."

Wow. Someone here really gets it!


Encounter 2: Tripping


Part 1, PURE
I'm in college. Sometimes people I know do crazy things. Sometimes people I know do drugs. Well, some people I knew were tripping the other day. They thought Ridley was really awesome and were hanging out with him.
Tripper 1: "Look...look at his mouth. I wouldn't want him to bite me. I wouldn't want to make out with him!"
Tripper 2: "You can't make out with Ridley! Ridley is a PURE BEING!!"

Whatever that means? I think it is a compliment.

Part 2, ROOTBEER

So said trippers decided that rearranging the common room in the middle of the night was a great idea (and honestly, it was. it was a great thing to wake up to.)

They flipped over all the furniture, put a blanket over the fort, hung my two rubber snakes (Louie and Bowie) from the ceiling, and put crazy signs everywhere (such as "THE SNAKES ARE LOOSE")

They also put a quote on the quote wall: This is MY house! --Ridley
(I approve)

anyway, they also set up a kind of shrine to Ridley. This involved the one non-flipped piece of furniture, the couch. It was covered in empty boxes and in the center was Ridley, perched atop an empty 12-pack rootbeer box, with the sign "ROOTBEER BONER?!?"

I don't even know what the think of this.



This is a reenactment of the event along with Alicia of Actually, Alicia making what is apparently a "Ridley Rootbeer Boner" face.
