HOT WAX ON A MONDAY!!!
Today Graeme and myself, after several hours of deliberation and thinking incased both our heads in twin balaclavas, clingfilm and finally liquid hot wax!!! This was not a sex game, although the home made breathing aparatus and Graeme keeping splurting "Bubby bad boy!! Cats dead now!!!" through his home made mouth piece made it slightly disturbing. This was us getting the wax mould together for casting our very own unique, perfectly fitted to our own little heads, brass balaclava!!! I know!! I know!!! This is a bit wierd and we too were thinking just how do we get ourselves in such scenarios as the slaver flowed from the twin tube gub exhaust!!! Graeme kept saying just what will my daughter think when she's older?? Will the kids in school tease her about her crazy Papa??? Everything kinda became clear though as the last strip of cling faded out the real world. Like cheap Spar cataract! When the cling was on the first balaclava and the breathing tube inserted...I adjusted my breathing and it wasn't all to bad..sensory deprevation..glimpses of the films Captain Kavanagh had shown came into my mind...or was I really reading Graemes mind...whirling bears...sausages...Asda pie and beans!!?? But soon Enge and the ROGER put these thoughts to bed as they pulled a molten hot liquid wax drenched headpiece over the top of my already sweating napper...Once the second wax sodden balaclava was in place Enge let blast with the leave blower to cool the beans!!! This was such a relief as my konk and ears felt like they were sizzling in the pans beside the imagined sausages and eggs!!!! Then the cutting began...Bretsen and ROGER hacking away at my wax balaclava with a stanley blade and a scapel...me wincing in a pool of my own dribble!!! But amazingly no major injuries were recieved by either ROGERIUS or myself!!! And the wax moulds..wow!! they look great like a weird knights hat..but like MF DOOM mixed with bank robbers...ah canni wait to see them gold and glistening in brass and the light of day!!! Ah SSW the only place you can dip your head in molten wax and get away with it!! REIDIUS
