Edvent Calendar - Day 14

Everyone put on your Christmas jammies and hunker down for a long winter!

Eclipse Soundtrack: How Can you Swallow...

...So Much Sleep.

Get your mind out of the gutter! The name of the song is How Can you Swallow So Much Sleep.

These lyrics are SO Edward. Can I wake you up indeed!


And yet, WTF does this mean: Could you bag me up?

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) (In a Tent)

Since the new Muse song is clearly about Bella and Edward, it's no fun to dissect. Therefore, let's pretend it's more complicated!

Neutron Star Collision (Love is Forever) (In a Tent)

Edward: I was searching
Jacob: you were on a mission
Both: Then our hearts combined like a neutron star collision
Jacob: I have nothing left to lose
Edward: You took your time to choose
Both: Then we told each other with no trace of fear that

Bella: Our love would be forever
Jacob: And if we die, we die together
Edward: But lie I said never [Edward chuckles]
All: Cause our love would be forever


Bella: The world is broken, halos fail to glisten [Like Edward's skin]
We try to make a difference but no one wants to listen
Hail the preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud
Then they'll dissipate like snowflakes in an ocean [Edward and Jacob look confused. What's Bella going on about now, gosh?]

All: Love is forever and we’ll die
We’ll die together
Edward: Lie, I said never
Jacob: Cause our love, could be forever

A Battle of Wits

With the approach of a new year, I have decided that it is time to wrap up a few things here at TDH. Do not fret! We will continue with the jokes and the revelations (even if I am off - grid more than I would like to be). However, there is one thread that I believe should be put to rest.

Mayhaps you recall the Twifight?

Jean, I would like to challenge you to a battle of wits.

It's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of woman who would mistake pajamas for an outfit?


Now, a clever woman would know the difference between pajamas and suits. She would know that only a great fool would be confused. I'm not a great fool, so clearly Rob is wearing pajamas. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I clearly must assume that Rob is not wearing pajamas!.

Have I made my decision? Not remotely. Because Rob comes from England, as everyone knows. And England is entirely peopled with the anti-fashioned. And the British are used to having people mistake their outerwear for pajamas, which explains the belt. So I can clearly not call these linens bedclothes!

Truly, a dizzying intellect. But wait till I get going! Where was I? Ah yes, England...
You must have suspected I would have known Rob's origin, so I can clearly call these duds pajamas!

Rob, going to bed, in a dinner jacket.

You'd like to think that I'm stalling, wouldn't you?
You have evaded my previous arguments which means you're exceptionally strong of mind. So, you could have pretended they were not pajamas and trusted your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the "indie outfit" argument. But, you've also bested my witty comments which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that Rob is weird so you would have put the pajama thesis as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose this for myself.

You think I'm trying to trick you, but I'm not! You've given everything away! I know what Rob is wearing! I will make my choice! and I choose!...

What is that over there!



What was that? Was I supposed to say something else? Hmmm... But the choice does not matter. Clearly I fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a French. Ever."

Still not Jammies

So not jammies.

What We Do Know: Part 33 Version Jean

Bella: It's unreal. This kind of thing just doesn't exist.

Edward: It does in my world.

And they aren't talking about climbing trees.

Or....are they?

It's unbelievable.

See? We're mostly on the same page... mostly
