Subject: RE: Vending Machine

Okay, so first off, yes. I know I don't have to create a new email list every time we add someone new to the mansion, but I legitimately almost never have to email the entire mansion so don't judge me.

Second thing, I think we might have a whacky, jokey ghost thing in the Chapel maybe. Like, the spirit of someone who thought the 12 Days of Christmas were hilarious or something and decided to make us deal with them in strange ways. We didn't figure it out until today. We're monitoring it, seriously, no one has experienced any physical, mental, or any other kind of harm thus far, we're just very confused.

For example, yesterday we decided to avoid eating out of the vending machine, thinking we might avoid whatever it wanted to throw at us. Instead, precisely at 0400, the vending machine started singing like different birds (thank Matt for that fact, since he's the only one who was paying attention to the different details of the ridiculous bird noises) every half hour. With every new kind of bird that did the singing/squawking/cooing whatever, the vending machine spit out bird facts and thought it'd be cute to pretend to give us options like, "press any button to stop" and if we did that, it just gave us more bird facts.

DID YOU KNOW: Birds are warm-blooded vertebrate animals that lay eggs. One feature that distinguishes birds from other animals is their feathers. While most birds fly, others, like penguins and ostriches, are flightless birds. However, all birds have feathers, and only birds have feathers.

Anyway, that all stopped at 2000 yesterday night. Yes, we timed it. Yes, we recorded all the bird sounds. Yes, we kept all the random bird facts. We'll verify that all of them are correct and all the other stuff is whatever it is sometime today.

HOWEVER, in an effort to avoid whatever terrible thing might have happened regarding five golden rings and this vending machine's sense of humor... I bought something from it this morning and. Let me tell you, friends, it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I wanted to avoid a weird thing so I tried to and now I've got the weird thing.

Five golden cock rings, to be precise. I apologize to anybody who might be weirded out by the mention of those sorts of things, but for documentation purposes, needs must. Alani got five pineapple flavored ring pops. We've also gotten five golden-fried onion rings with a packet of Carolina Gold sauce, five actual rings - real gold cause I tested it in the lab, a bag of five Funyons the size of those floaties people put on children so they don't drown in pools, and what Darcy promised me were British regular chip/crisp things even though they're called Hula Hoops. No very large, circular children's playthings have arrived thus far.

We assume this five golden rings thing will continue for the full twenty-four hours, so if you're interested in updates, feel free.

Thanks,
Clint
