The Eight Great Immortals: You will never see this sort of thing happen again

You will never see this sort of thing happen again

Ok, so here's the deal. Me and my dad are driving back from an Appleseed on one of those little back roads that twist and turn and go all over the place. I've been on my feet since 6AM and am hot, sweaty, and covered in bug spray, so you can image I'm in a lovely mood :P

So I'm in the passenger seat with my window down and my dad is driving and we're just going along, talking about the shoot and how it went and such when all of a sudden we hear this god awful noise. It sounded like a little kid was getting murdered and for a second I thought my dad had run someone over. I look out my window trying to find what made that noise (it was LOUD) and standing in the driveway of some dude's house is peacock. An honest to god PEACOCK.

It was all puffed up and its tail feathers were all spread out like you see in books and it watched as we drove by. I grabbed the camera and dad turned the truck around so we could take some pictures.

By the time we turned around it wasn't puffed up anymore

LOL, that license plate is so funny XD

I always thought peacocks were about the size of chickens or maybe a bit bigger, but this guy was huge! He must have been eight feet from head to tail. And he screamed again as we were driving away, man that thing is LOUD! It had my ears ringing, literally.

And now to raise the question, where do you get a peacock anyways?

They are actually not that uncommon here. Maybe the climate is better for them? Sometimes I see them for sale on CL. Probably get them from someone who breeds pheasants, or you can order them from hatcheries... here you go:

The Blogger's Epic Dictionary

The Blogger’s Epic Dictionary

A dictionary for all whether you’re a new or senior member to the blogs.

The Golden God: Derek Landy, the amazing author to the reason we’re all here: “Skulduggery Pleasant”. ‘The Golden God is so freaking awesome.’

Blogosphere: The Blogging part of the internet that we frequent, our little ‘world’. Used in the context that the Earth or world would be used in. ‘He lived in the Blogosphere, somewhere next to the Youtube-opia.’

Dereksville, Blogsland: A more direct address of where our blogs are. Dereksville is the town, Blogland is the country.

Epica: A word derived from the one ‘Epic’. It pretty much means all that epic already means, plus a lot more. ‘That story is Epica!’ Can also be used with suffixes attached, e.g ‘Epica-ness’. Created by the Blogger ‘Hellboy’.

Fan-fiction: A descriptive piece or story that is written by a ‘fan’ of an already-published story. For instance, most of the Fan-fictions on these Blogs are directly related to the story ‘Skulduggery Pleasant’ by Derek Landy. The word Fan-fiction can be shortened to ‘Fanfic’ or ‘Fan-fic’ if needed.

Skulduggery Pleasant: A book that follows the fictional adventures of one Skulduggery Pleasant, a wise-cracking skeleton detective that can manipulate the elements through magic. He also saves the world, all the time. ’Nuff said.

REG: Random Evil Grin. ‘Don’t worry, my marshmallow-gun is only loaded some of the time. REG!’ This abbreviation was coined by the Blogger 'Pyro-Dawn Tyromant'.

OC: Original Character. This is a character created by you alone that would normally live somewhere in the Skulduggery World.

Bio-rama: This is a Blog created by the Blogger ‘Lizzy’. Its purpose is to be a public place to put your OC up on display for everyone else to see. You normally post you’re OC’s name, age, nationality, weapons, and magical power.

The Eight Great Immortals: This Blog that you are currently on, sometimes shortened to ‘TEGI’, is a blog where eight of the Bloggers came together and decided to make a blog for everyone to visit and read from. The name of the blog is translated from “Octaboona Ambrosius’” name, and another Blogger, ‘Hellboy’ came up with the idea to make the Blog. It is a community place where ideas and knowledge are shared with everyone. The eight Bloggers who came together to make this Blog are: Skyril, Mary Hiashi, Octaboona Ambrosius- Paragon Of The Purple Horde, ~Hellboy~, Lenka, Kallista Pendragon–The Beautiful Goddess Queen, Alex (aka Necros), and Lizzy The Lovely Un-dead Vampire Writer.

Awesomesauce Incarnate: I believe that this piece of lingo was picked up from Mary Hiashi, and it is another expression for labelling something great. ‘Wow, it would be Awesomesauce Incarnate if we could all go to Ireland.’

Frying Pan: If anyone ever mentions a frying pan in the context of using it as a weapon, then I would run. I would run far, and never, ever, look back…

Because a frying pan, in our part of the Blogosphere, has become more than just an ordinary cooking utensil and has transformed itself into a weapon of mass destruction.

The frying pans all belong to 'Mar Chu'. You need to ask to handle one, unless you want to have your head cracked open.

Marshmellow Gun: This weapon strikes fear into the hearts of many souls. It has the sheer power of all our secret fears-Marshmellows. Often has a tendency to shoot in 999,999,999 burst rounds.

Banana Gun: The same as a Marshmellow Gun, but shoots bananas instead. ‘With my marshmallow gun in one hand and my banana gun in the other, I will shoot everyone on this blog, covering them with fruit and confectionary pieces.’

999,999,999 bolts of lightning: You’d better not be wearing any metal on you…

Freaking: A word often used to put emphasis on other words, for instance ‘That’s a freaking awesome story!’ or ‘How the freaking Hell did you get over there?’ It is also sometimes written as ‘frickin’ or ‘freakin’.

Hell yeah/Hells yeah: Basically an affirmative to any great suggestion. “Do you want to be in this fan-fiction I’m writing?” “Hell yeah!” It is also written as ‘Hell yes’ or ‘Hells yes’.

* * or ~ ~: These asterisks are commonly used at each end of a sentence that is not meant to be phrased out loud. The sentence often involves what the writer is doing, eg. ‘*waves to everyone*’. They don’t always have to be what you are doing in real life at that moment, however, because a lot of the time the sentence depicts something fantastically bizarre and untrue. ‘*abnormal sounds from behind, Tardis appears* *hops inside and hijacks it*’

And of course, this instance here would never come true, because, unfortunately, we all know that there would be a sonic screwdriver and an angry, bow-tie-wearing Doctor on the other side of the Tardis’ blue doors.

*glomps*: Best described as a surprise-attack hug, used when someone might enter a conversation and writes ‘*glomps everyone*’.

Chipotle: “A pungent red pepper, often pickled and eaten as an appetizer or added to meat stews, sauces, etc.” (as defined by the Free Online Dictionary) Also known as an Aquatic Chocolate-chip Cookie. Might possibly also be a Mexican food restaurant.

The Purple Poet

A nickname for the Blogger 'Octaboona Ambrosius'. This nickname was coined by the Blogger 'Kallista Pendragon'. Namely the Blogger 'Octaboona Ambrosius' writes poetry and likes purple. So voila!

Yorkshire Pudding: An especially magical item that is wielded courageously by 'Dragona Pine', another Blogger.
Whether you're having an argument or simply being conversational, this item can rarely be beaten or topped.

This Blogger’s Dictionary was written by Hellboy (and edited by Octaboona) to let new and senior Bloggers know exactly what means what. Please enjoy it, use it, and don’t say mean things to it. Dictionaries have feelings too, you know.
