the lost chord

thank you, Fenris!

I love our dog. He’s always keeping us safe from UPS guys, the mail carrier and blowing leaves — the ninjas that want us dead, that are scared away by his booming barks at 4am or whenever we’d really appreciate some quiet.

Mrs Bugg looks pretty fierce with those daggers! Mr Bugg’s flintlock pistol would probably aerate her nicely from a distance, though.

Behind EVERY. GODDAMED. TREE.

I want those cake toppers

No, really, those very toppers: Mr Bugg in mid-ninja-kick with nunchucks, trident-sword-thing and top hat, and Mrs Bugg with the staff weapon accessory* to her wedding dress, and special symbol-of-her-god makeup.

Someone get on that.

*I wonder if a staff weapon counts as old, new or borrowed?

because jelly beans are so well-guarded

Seriously. Lasers, halon systems, pressure pads in the floor, the whole nine.

Or this is something the Buggs got Loki to set up so they could hum the Mission: Impossible theme while rolling around on the floor.

Either way.

Fenris vs. ninjas

True story: Fenris can hear the UPS guy pulling into our neighborhood, two blocks away. Fenris does not approve of this. He approves still less of the UPS guy pulling up to our house. Interestingly, he could care less about the FedEx guy or the USPS lady.

Of course, half the time, we can’t hear the UPS truck two blocks away, so we act like it’s ninjas. “Thanks for scaring off the ninjas, Fenris!”

The other half of the time, it’s the middle of the godsdamned night and obviously not the UPS guy — and now we know what it really was.

Oh, man, Mrs Bugg is going to do some damage with those wicked spikes on her boot-heels.

The Buggs will use absolutely any excuse to :

  • Fight
  • Cosplay
  • Cosplay pirates or ninjas
  • Chop off limbs in the name of convincing cosplay

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is the pirate this time, with a swashbuckling feathered hat, cutlass, small pistol and eyepatch. He’s also got one peg-leg and one regular leg, with what I strongly suspect is a very cool, pirate-y boot. Mrs Bugg is the ninja, and she is all in black as we would expect. She’s flourishing a trident in one hand and nunchucks in the other, and her leg is raised and ready to kick Mr Bugg’s hat clean off him.

The text reads: “Sometimes you just need to have a pirate vs. ninja fight.”

 

bicycle kick of death

ninja  vs soccer

Look, I’m no expert, but I’d think a ninja would spot a soccer ball coming and dodge.

On the other hand, these are buggs, so who knows.

Transcript:

Mr Bugg is head to foot in ninja black, short scimitar thing in one hand, small pointy trident thing in the other. He is facing Mrs Bugg, whose cleated foot has just kicked seven kinds of hell out of a soccer ball using her patented bicycle kick.

The text reads: “Ninja vs. Soccer player.”
