Potential Hiatus

So. I am getting my sorry self dragged out to what will soon be my new place of residence this weekend because Mom has some weird country thing (anyone have any idea what a 'truck pull' is?) that she's helping run concessions for. I have been told that I will have access to internet, however I don't know where, and if I can only get it by standing outside under a certain tree, well, there won't be much Fae on the internet from about six CST tonight until sometime on Sunday.

So this is a possible-hopefully-not-certain hiatus notice, affecting Toph here, Rikku, and Reno. I will make endeavors to get some place to answer tags every so often, but like I said. If it's outside, it won't be happening all that frequently.

Hey, I was born in Texas! So we're basically like hick sisters or something.

Your mom is exactly right, basically people rig their vehicles up to farm equipment and see who can pull it the farthest or fastest or... something. I wasn't entirely clear on what the goal was but it sure was loud.
dungenessmaster: (so derpy a karkat)

Yeah, I live in Charleston. Fistbumps anyway, we have tractor square dancing. I'm not making this up. This is an event that happens for real in the fall.

It does smell pretty bad, but it's kind of awesome in a brainless sort of way.
dungenessmaster: (ok who broke the troll)

[...all of my sobs]

Okay, see, you get some tractors and people to operate them, usually four, and while some jug band plays typical grab-yer-partner-do-si-do music, they like... turn and spin and sort of... roll in a pattern that resembles a square dance if you're not picky.

Basically it's like this: Country folks like Nascar, but most folks can't afford cars like that. So instead they pimp out their trucks and tractors. Like on Pimp My Rides. Paint and fire farting exhaust and everything.

Then they hook up big heavy things to said trucks and tractors. Cuz trucks and tractors are not known to be fast like Nascar cars. But they ARE strong. Then they do their best to pull said big heavy things.

The winner is the one most likely to make their engine fall out. There are sometimes explosions.

Np~ Though it's worth going to see at least once, esp. with a little drinky drink in your system. Sometimes you can see a tractor do a wheelie.
dungenessmaster: (so goddamn ooc)

Dude, if you put six engines on your work tractor, I don't feel bad when you flip over anymore XD

You usually don't see big fancy one's like this around here, but this is basically it XD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfb-3e45O4w)

lmao what is even going on in the comments to this post idek...

But yeah. You wanna just handwave Toph and Gray's mission next day change? We're allowed to, we did the first one. And I don't need a log for AC or anything. We can still do that PSA post though if you want!

Should be after this weekend. Did I miss how long you'd be on hiatus? Oh. Pffft. I did.
