Alexmagnet, Ice Bucket Challenges, and a Cautionary Tale · 1:14am Aug 27th, 2014
So, this bonzone over here, Alexmagnet, challenged me to this icebucket thing or something. Unfortunately, this has led to a serious problem.
For one, my bank account has been in a rough patch since I went to Bronycon. Turns out that having no self-control and wanting a huggable plushie of Babs (the best CMC) costed a bit more than I expected. That means me being able to donate is off the table.

Second, I just had an abscess on the back of my neck drained today, and it's still open, so I can't go haphazardly throwing ice water on top of my head.

That brings us to the warning part of this blog, which is that Alex forgot to read all the fine print that comes with the ice bucket challenge. See, if you nominate someone and they don't perform their portion of the contract, it states that a "frost demon, unbound from the frigid depths of the ninth circle of Hell" will be tied to your soul and haunt you for all of eternity... and also turn all the hot water in your shower cold.
Now, I'm not gonna point any fingers...

...but consider, just for a moment, that your actions have consequences, and that you can't go back on demon contracts, cause I tried.
Now, if you excuse me, I have to try out this industrial-sized flamethrower to see if I have any hope of surviving the night without burning down my apartment... or by burning down my apartment. We'll see.
Drink booze!

See, that's another consequence. The frost demon froze the only bottle of alcohol I have in my apartment.
