We climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies. or The War of the Kraken.

Set and open course Friends and Neighbors.  This weekend was quite the astonishing event.  

Kelly's heroes all gathered together to celebrate another year older and deeper in debt... well maybe not.  Nevertheless we did celebrate the birthday of our hero Kelly with the three B's  Bullets, Bowling and Beers!

It was early in the morning, Captain Kelly came by with his python in one hand and a set of zombie critters in the other.  We were off.  Mrs. Bat and Tiberus J. Frogg joined us as we hit the breakfast stop.  Good hearty amounts of bacon and coffee were consumed at Tally's.  Then, as luck would have it, our hero's lady friend Dame Lynda arrived to give the birthday boy a right proper kiss of good luck.  We were off to shoot some squirrel and bunny!

The range was full of marksmen, but we did not let that discourage us as we proceeded to unload copious amounts of lead into the vile vermin who threatened us.  Kelly took out the squirrel with extreme prejudice and the Frogg destroyed his gopher.  I even dropped a squirrel myself.  However, the war with the bunny was not as kind to Kelly... they got away again. 

After defeating most of the varmits, we boarded the Batavan and headed down to the Dust Bowl, wherein we met up with some buddys from back in the day.  As we drank some pints of ale and dropped strikes on those pins, we dreamt of childhood friends and the dreams we had.  Mrs. Bat had cooked up some Car Bomb Cupcakes which were indeed fantastic.  We enjoyed that.

The pins did die a glorious death and it was off to Fassler Hall for another round.  A nice batch of pretzels before trotting down to Joe Momma's for some pizza goodness.  Lo and Behold Dame Lynda returned and shortly thereafter good Dr. O and Nurse Liz!  Even Tommy Mac graced us with his presence at this celebrated occasion.  We spent the dinner next to a site of terror for many of us, the bus from Phantasmagoria! 

After dinner we took a short respite before heading over to Winterfell.  There we watched gladiator fighting and listened to tales of glory days once more.  Kelly, sensing an opportunity to become even more powerful, released the Kraken on everyone.   This was dubbed the War of the Kraken and cheers were had as the Kraken was defeated.  Soon after the pit fights were through, we headed back to celebrate a the Valkyrie.  Good drinks were had and better tales were told.  Of course this meant that with all of the good drinks, Kelly was losing touch with his judgements...

Against my wisdom, we rallied at Caz's for a final round, wherein Kelly was handed what we can only presume was a roofie whiskey.  For after Kelly shot that one... things got weird. 

Kelly and the Frogg drank and sang to the ol Irish Rover... and then on the way to McDonalds it was BTO, Bad Company, Johnny Horton and Styx.  Oh my the guy at the drive thru was mystified at the serenade.  Then, Kelly announced... he thought that they were angels, much to his surprise.  The rest... a blur of yelling at the TV and something about a flogger...
