The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

So fun story

I work at a cool museum, and one of the newest little attractions we just opened up for the year is for the fall frenzy snow globe, which is a massive plastic snowglobe that has scarves flying around powered by four fans. Pretty simple, up to 6/7 kids can go in at a time and have a blast, provided you tell them the rules. I sometimes have to run it, and today I had another coworker helping me (thank goodness). But the thing is, usually it's not too busy at the museum, save for the school groups that come on field trips ever week from around the state.

There were 900 kids in the museum, and it felt like half of them wanted to go into the globe. They all ended up sitting down around the globe waiting while chaperones organized them into groups of 6/7, and everything was going relatively smoothly in the way that organized chaos can be. I ended up going on my break, and when I come back everything is worse - apparently chaperones from different schools had gotten into arguments on who was where and who got to go first that security was called and the security guy had to help overlook the line. Fortunately everyone left by 1, but I'm still absolutely wiped from the day. Line control, especially with a bunch of kids, is annoying lol

Well at least the day is over right?

Holy crap, it's been a busy week. @.@

And now I'm waiting on line at Chick-fil-a. Good times. XD

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah mood honestly. So tired.

I got these a little while ago and forgot to take a pic of them until now. XD BUT LOOK AT THESE PLUSHIES I GOT FROM THE POKEMON CENTER WEBSITE!



I'm starting to have a sort of Path of Destiny gang here. XD I'm crossing my fingers they keep making these until at least the 4th generation. I want an official yanmega plush so bad.

[HorusMyDude]

I would kill for a Yanmega plush

So my dad and I went as Chip and Dale (respectively) to our local YMCA's Halloween Spooktacular. I got us these crazy mascot costume versions and they were an instant hit with all the adults and kids. Plus seeing my dad get into one of these things and give all the kids high fives was priceless. XD

But... we only lasted an hour. Now, I've worn mascot costumes before, but these got SO HOT, SO FAST. These had padding inside and I don't know why they needed that, but holy crap, we both agreed we now have exactly what we need to survive nuclear winter. XD But yeah, in only fifteen minutes, we were feeling it.

The only issue was visibility wasn't too great with these costumes, and if there were any kids standing right in front of us, we couldn't see them, even if we looked down. We kind of needed to bail after it got REALLY crowded, and it was just getting hotter and hotter. But it was fun, we waved to a lot of kids, and we got a lot of "hey look, it's Chip and Dale!" All that fun and extra attention is worth the sweating bullets. XD

Imagine a post-apocalypse story about a nuclear winter where the main characters dress in mascot costumes to keep warm...

Overall sounds like a pretty fun day though! Halloween is always really fun, though I haven't celebrated it in any real way in years.
