Costume ideas from the Nantoka Mansion

Hi everyone
Hope you are well and having the happiest possible Halloween.

If you are scrambling about for the perfect thing to wear to the big gala tonight in the Shouseki Situs don’t worry, I have the perfect costume idea for you. It offers great promise to both ladies and gentlemen looking to make a great impression this Halloween without wasting a whole lot of cash and time.

To make it even better, this costume only requires 2 store bought items, unless you already happen to have a stick of sumi ink (available in the Shouseki Situs) and a compound bow release (available in the virtual Shouseki Situs). Dark clothing, bandanas, tabi shoes, etc. are useful but not essential. You can wear almost anything at all to accompany this outfit.

Perhaps the best part about the “Ninja calligrapher” outfit is the fact that you can give it to a good cause afterward. If you are going to be at the big gala tonight in the Situs, bring your unneeded costume items to the headmen when you are ready to quit partying. These are actually extremely useful items which contribute greatly to the wealth of the tribe, and as long as you say a few respectful words to them the headmen are likely to receive your gift most gracefully.

“I know that a great many of your young ones are facing the prospect of continued enrollment in the public school system,” you might say to the headmen, “and for this reason, I would like to provide your tribe with these tools, as a token of my esteem and respect for the Shouseki people, in the hopes that you and your People may someday be free of this horrible plague.”

Young single men who will be entrusting their donation to the illustrious Mr. J.G. Shouseki, presumptive father of the talented young Ninja calligraphy educators Shouseki Sumiko and Shouseki Yumiko, might want to consider making this proud presumptive dad a marriage offer for the hand of one of his daughters. No reasonable suitor is turned away, and Sumi and Yumi will be happy to consider the marriage proposal of any young fellow who offers them a little something to help keep the school running. A basket of premium firewood, for example. Or a fresh new hydrological sciences book.

Since they can be traded for food security supplies for the school, diamond-laden bracelets, earrings, necklaces, etc. can also be submitted to these daughters as a marriage proposal gift. Be mindful, though, of the fact that if you try to win the heart of other Shouseki ladies in this way, you might just get cold contempt for all your labor, since well trained Shouseki daughters have learned that diamonds are in fact the devil’s best friend, and not theirs.

Land claim deeds, on the other hand, make a a great gift choice for young suitors hoping to capture the heart of a Shouseki woman - especially if her name is Sumi or Yumi. And if you don't have a land claim, just make one up, and offer your dear one a novelty deed that you have made by yourself using just love and cardboard and sumi ink crayons. (Isn't bank-free financing beautiful?)

Ja ne, thanks for reading, Happy Halloween!

hi everyone

man the Alliens are getting whomped by the Coal Kitty in the Battle of the Bands, with an unbelievable 100% of the "who rocks most?" votes going to Coal Kitty. Coal Kitty is going to be so happy once he learns of this when he returns home from the mercury detoxification spa.

I hope you are out there getting the Prank Season wheel trued up and in good shape for some momentous pranks which help to combat high levels of ambient mercury, estrogen, fecal coliform bacteria, etc. in the water supply.

news of the official opening of Prank Season arrived early today from Ayuwa'si settlement council persons, who decided yesterday that enough bad luck had been swept out into oblivion to warrant a kickoff ceremony and Thanksgiving 2.0 celebration in the commercial hub of the settlement.

an ikigai feast will begin in the Shouseki situs at 5 pm tomorrow, and will continue until the Shouseki Nation's enormous thirst for ikigai-friendly infrastructure is slaked.

numerous tables are available, and costume contest prizes are being offered.

in other news, an art exhibit featuring oil paintings by H. Wenger will begin in the Shouseki Situs on November 4 and will continue until the 18th of November. Mr. Wenger is an artist, musician, and farmer who makes his home in Pilot, VA.

for more information on H. Wenger, please visit traceslibrary.net.

to learn more about the Shouseki Situs, please follow this link.

I just added some new reading selections to the Hill Cane arts pages...these include info on treaties, myths, etc. that relate to the settlement of the New River Valley region. I hope you find these bits of information as enlightening as I did.

bye, have a wonderful day, thanks for reading. -Suzy

hi everyone

muka-a-a-a-a-a-shi mukashi, when I was a bored suburban teen I used to go with friends as a lark to hang out in the Dulles airport. We would smoke cigarettes in the waiting lounge, check the phone coin returns for change, party in restricted outdoor areas, and so forth.

I am so sorry that the young folks who are coming of age along the John Foster "Brinkmanship" Dulles corridor have no such opportunity for those wonderful educational experiences. I am so sorry that the land at the Dulles airport site is being used in this way nowadays. It is all very sucky.

all I can say is, if you are a bored suburban teen looking to flee from the Hell that is the Dulles corridor please wait until you are 18, and be sure do not to begin smoking cigarettes like I did. also, while you are waiting to turn 18 please learn a whole lot about buffer zones and the Highest and Best Use thing and try your best to stay off the radar of kleptocrats etc, since all these skills will help you adapt to life in the free world that is being envisioned to help meet the sanity and food security needs of people like you.

hi everyone
hope you are well

here is some photography & incredibly funny writing by Vector Vistar, a friend of mine from long, long, ago who is currently working as a resource management professional in Iraq.

On Halloween CURTIS will play at the Cellar and that same evening the Gillies are throwing a Halloween dinner party at their restaurant...info on this appears below.

finally, if you are sick and tired of hearing the wheels of genocide go crunch, crunch, crunch all over the things which you hold most near and dear, please consider tuning in to one of the Hill Cane Arts channels, as these channels will give you the tools you need to make a great impression on important resource management policy makers in case they should visit your home.

nothing puts a hurt on the economy-by-genocide thing like a Thanksgiving 2.0 table which has been set with love, elegance, and mirth. so tune in soon to the Hill Cane Arts channels to find out how your table can put all the other chef's tables to shame this harvest season.

Isaiah 24

1

Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.

4

The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5

The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof: because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
