To The Mattresses

AWWOOOOOOO AWWOOOOOOOO!

I shouted, doing my very best to imitate a klaxon.

What the hell are you doing?

Shouted the good lady.

I have only just got little boom to sleep!?!

I came out of the kitchen, a roll of duct tape in one hand and my WD40 in the other. I had a pot on my head and a manic look in my eye.

Sleep can wait baby. It's started. We gotta bunker down. We gotta go to the mattresses.

The what? The Mattresses? What mattresses? Have you gone bonkers again? You haven't been mixing the beer and the coffee at the same time have you?

The mattresses, you know? Like, the mattresses??!

What the bloody hell are the mattresses, the only mattresses we have are in our beds!

Gods woman, didn't you learn anything from when we watched the Godfather? The Sopranos? We have to go to ground. It's all over Steemit. It's happening.

I hunkered down on the floor and started duct taping two broom handles together to make a long poke'y type weapon.

You know I can't be arsed with your Steemit obsession. What's happening?

I stopped what I was doing. My face took on a bleak expression as if I had stumbled desperately into a public toilet for some diarrhoeas only to find that there was no toilet paper and someone had already sponked their muck on the seat.

As gently as I could, I broke it to her.

War, baby. That's whats happening.

Oh my god.

The good lady swayed on her feet and reached out to the door frame for support.

Again? Like the last time, what was it... The Whale War?

That's right my little potato pie. Like last time. This time people have been paying for votes and then the vote sellers got greedy and started taking piles of money to let any old twoddle be voted up to the moon and now those posts are getting flagged and the authors are screaming war and that it is the end of EVERYTHING. There are FLAGS!! We have to be ready, we have to get down to the basement. Wait it out.

But we don't even have a basement!?

Well alright then, I have made a den in the garage with some blankets and stashed some chocolate and water in it. We can hide there.

I started to tug on her arm.

But we have to get the children?

I cupped her cheeks gently in my hands.

There's no time, we have to leave them.

She screamed before falling into a dead faint.

Outside the clouds gathered darkly.

Nice one Dude. To the mattresses indeed.
It doesn't matter that the platform speaks of freedom and anarchy the same old greedy human traits soon pop their heads above the parapet.
Sighs

Just can't shake those traits off eh? As soon as money is involved then boom!

Hello, I remember you @meesterboom !
You donated to our common noble cause for the first time exactly 24 days ago. Have a great and prosperous day along with my up-vote! You fed me with 12 STEEM already but you can always make me stronger, if you want to. It will enable me to help you and your friends more often.

Yours, Spinny

I like very much when everyone who feeds me also reads my friend’s posts, so please visit @ldauch and read what he has to say! Your name will also appear here. :-) Join my Discord server if you want to meet others: https://discord.gg/Mz2EZP3

Hello my cheeky young scamp of a bot! Well met!

Steemit wars, bitcoin wars. What's next? No one is safe! I think you've got the right idea hiding under a blanket and eating chocolate.

BCH!! It's coming to eat all your crypto!! Or something!

You can't go wrong with hiding and eating chocolate. It's been proved'ed!!

I might sell all my bitcoin and bitcoin cash and stockpile Cadburys instead. I think I'll be onto the next winner!

And heck, if it all went down the tubes you could eat your stock!

Lol, 4444, my favourite number of dollars!! :0D

You deserve every penny. :-)

Cos I'm worth it flicks hair

Very peculiar!...Coincidentally, I am eating a piece of chocolate!
Maybe I'll go pop some popcorn next ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Chocolate followed by some popcorn sounds like the ideal combo to keep the heebies away!

We're all going to need a lot of popcorn and beer for this conflict.

Damn right, any old excuse works for me!! ;0)

Ohh no not flags again, tha's it I am off to find safety and peace and quiet, not getting involved in that crap again :)

Exactly! Run away! Although I think its gone quiet now :O)

I hate all that, it really brings the site down

Here we go again. I just start to figure things out on here and bongo, something else odd and wonkers shows up. Think I'll stick a pot on my head and head to the card table tent too. Can I post from in there?

As the best guitarist in my book, Mr. Knopfler would say, someone's gone and thrown a spanner into the works.
(No, I do not like the vote buying. One should stand on their own merits, even if a small pedestal in little pointy shoes. It's still all yours...)

I am in complete agreement with you. It seems to be all the chat now. Glad I got in there first lol

I suspect it will blow over relatively quickly :O)

Love it! Flags, flags everywhere... and lots to drink! The fat factory ship needs filling! Let’s on the morn break out the harpoons and sortie out for another round of flags, flags, and more flags!

Harpoons and oilskins, that's what will get us through it! :0D

Ha!

:0)

Nothing to do but to hide and wait until the storm is over. The whales are afoot and the steem clouds are gathering.

It's like the scene at the start of terminator 2!

I've missed everything sniff. But "sponked their muck" took my mind off it.

It does tend to do that, a good sponking of the muck :0D

hahaha, take coverrrr
well at least no real gun war is at threat, unlike our situation now in Lebanon loool

Ouch, that doesn't sound good. No amount of blankets and chocolate will prevent that from hurting!

yea exactly, but we still have high hopes it's just talk in vain.

Then I hope with you!

Woman, the children have to grow up on their own and fend for themselves! You have to save yourselves! Whale War II, huh? This is exactly the perfect reaction to it. If smaller whales and dolphins get swept by the currents, imagine where we minnows would end up. To the other side of the world or, even worse, a whale's poop tube! There are no jokes when flags are involved. Oy vey!

I wish I could build a bunker of my own, but sadly, the STEEM that I own only affords me a tiny blanket! Save yourself, Boom! Save yourselves! When it's all said and done, I want you to carry my legacy! Let the new ones that emerge from the fallout know that I was here. That I... existed.

You can afford a tiny blanket! All is not lost then. Hunker down under it and eat a square of galaxy. That way you can tell the new ones to emerge yourself!!

Ach! I even forgot what I was supposed to comment about the chocolate haha! All is lost, all is lost. Go on and don't forget about me. Live your life, man. For Bob's sake, live your life!!

Consider it lived!!

Oh huh I... hmm. I really didn't expect you would fulfill my request so quickly I mean... I, uh, y'know... I was half expecting you would come back for me or bargain a bit, but whatever, y'know? No big deal. It's not like it's gonna kill you if you come back. Oh wait... :/

Yup, no bargaining here. It's all lived. In fact I lived it at faster than a 1:1 ratio so have now lived it in a shorter span than my life itself which I can now happily let go of.

Bye!!

You have reached the STEEM auto-response for... @jedau As a casualty of the most recent Whale War , he/she is unable to get back to you at this time. If you wish to leave a message, you can contact him/her via help me!! Oh Glob!! Send fucking help it's madness here I tell you!! Madness!!! Thank you for your message.

Hahaha, what splendidly formatted unavailable message!!

If the is chocolate I am in for this war - o my goodness the tears are running down my face as I laugh - can just imagine this picture in my head

It all comes down to the chocolate in the end! :0D

That you can say again - chocolate do not ask questions

For sure!

Oh man, another one? Seemed to have missed out on this one, thanks for the update. The digital realm starting to look more and more like the analogue one. Ah, well, time to close the hatches.

Closer them hatches tight!! Actually this one is quite the storm in a tea cup. I dare say that your average user wouldn't even notice... Unless you were one of the ones who uses minnow booster that is!

Will do, dreaming of peacefull blockchains united as one.

It'll pass. Have a good night!

You too dude! It will all work out! :0D

Oh my goodness...chocolate and water??? You couldn't be more creative could you? Bahahahaha!

It is kinda wild isn't it! ;0)

Whoohoo...very wild..you're going all out with the provisions. Oh my I can't stop laughing..just the idea of you with the pot on the head inside your little den eating chocolate and drinking water...you're killing me!!!

The pot was fairly comfy! I put a towel inside it to stop chafing! hehe :O)

A lovely morning laugh. Will you be making a batch of pasta with meatballs while in 'the den of safety?"

Of course! That is probably the reason I was wearing a pot on my head. :0D

you should double up on the garlic! It may help ward off the war mongers, worth a try at the ver least

My favourite thing is doubling up on the garlic!

ROFL I am glad you here to provide me with my daily hoot! Hmm. Chocolate and blankets. A capital idea!

It's the only way!!

I've been missing the action again! Thanks for breaking it to me in such an interesting manner!

Hehe, it is high comedy, glad to keep you up to date!!

Oh noooo, this is what happens when life pulls me away from steemit (how dare it!) Meet me in discord!

That is like meet me in the batcave!

na na, nana na na, na na, batman! :O)

It is, isn't it? haha!!

I couldnt resist sliding down the pole and into the batwagon!

I will be your Robin! Especially if that means I get to slide down poles and ride in batmobiles!

Pole sliding!!... Saucy! ;0)

that was great to read thanks for sharing

Thank you for upvoting

Very useful information

It's time for real entertainment, you're always fun @meesterboom

I do try ;0)

I have no idea why you think sending me a link to a post full of vaginal looking flowers is going to endear yourself to me.

I will give you ten minutes to remove your link. If you don't, I will flag your shitty spam comment and then flag your shitty post.

Have a good day
