Now why is it that villians are mostly masked? To disguise their identity of course. But what I don’t understand is why they disguise themselves to look scary. The scream masks and balaclavas. It’s more or less like they don’t believe they are sufficiently scary and need to make up for it. It’s a compensation thing. You’d think they’d have more success not being recognised as evil before their attacks, you know the blend in and then BAM take you by surprise.

Also, most villians don’t intend to keep you alive for a particularly lengthy amount of time, so why they even care their victims know their identity is beyond me. Unless, perhaps they know the victims, and once they discover their true identity they can play on their weaknesses. They can remind them what a big nose they have or pokey-outy ears. They could tell them they are lanky, and maybe as a child, they were teased for that. Maybe being called lanky one last time would make them break down and cry like a child. Dropping their guard for just long enough for the victim to escape or whack them over the noggin with a barge pole.

It’s a very real issue for villians I’m sure. Specially those with dockside hide outs. Which also seem rather common.

Anyway, that’s beside the point, unless your weekend has been plagued by villians or similar.

Actually what my weekend has been plagued by is sheep. Well not really a plague of sheep, just the one sheep, which hasn’t shut it’s voicebox for the past 48 hours. It’s turned up somewhere across the valley from the new house, for what I’m hoping is just the weekend. I haven’t seen this sheep but I know it’s out there. It’s incessant baa-ing gave it away. After the first few hours I started wondering if it was a tape on repeat, further listening by my eloquently trained ear determined a slight variation in the tone and inflections disproving that theory, unless of course by this point it was over played to the point of distortion.

So I figure the sheep’s real. I was thinking it must be just here for the weekend though (because if it’s here permanently I shall have to seek it out and deal to it) so it probably lives on a farm somewhere permanently. Farmer must be having a weekend off and doled out his sheep to all his friends and relatives to take care of. Good on him I say! As long as he gets them all back ESPECIALLY the one down the road.
