Your ‘Horatio Just Woke Up And There’s No Post For Super Sunday And By God This Will Not Stand’ Open Thread

Scene:  The DFO Clubhouse

Time:  9:43 am.

Horatio gets out of his car, a red Corvette if past stories are to be believed, (they should not), staggering under the weight of a dozen boxes.  His hands thus occupied, Horatio uses his as-believable-as-that-Corvette martial arts skills to kick open the door without leaving so much as a scratch on the frame.

“Hey, guys, guys, (Horatio is woke-as-fuck and uses ‘guys’ for both genders, because he is also a moron), it’s Super Sunday and guess who just cleaned out all the paczkis from old lady Stanislaus’s bakery!  We got raspberry, blueberry, for some reason prune, cre…”

Horatio realizes that he’s talking to no one.  Despite it being Super Sunday, the Highest of Holy Days for DFO, the clubhouse is empty.  It looks like the place has been trashed.  Furniture is tipped over, beer cans and liquor bottles are everywhere, a dank smell is in the air, and yesterday’s Wall Street Journal is neatly folded on the kitchen table, unread.

You know, the usual.

“Ah fuck, I’m the first one here.  I thought I slept in at least long enough for Yeah Right to have been fucking around in the kitchen.  I’ll just start tidying up.”

Horatio grabs a vacuum and starts running it over broken glass.  Your first prop bet is how long before the vacuum explodes, which is a trick question because Zymm modified it.  He pauses and picks up a stained, torn piece of paper.  “Oh, Scotchy’s notes.  God I hope that’s deer blood.  Better post it before everyone gets here.”
