Kripke's Hollow, Dead Parrots & Pie

PS. If you click on the pictures you should get them bigger to read some of the text better :)


The other day at the Diner....




After yet NO pie AGAIN for Dean, they realised all the Diner stink stuck to their clothes and that they hadn't washed their stuff in quite some time...



Fed and freshly washed'n'dried they went down to a shop investigating the case of a dead parrot...finally some action!



Sam had no idea where Dean got the parrot from in the first place and why he was talking with a considerably bad british accent all of a sudden. Maybe Dean needed the parrot for some kind of apocalypse-prevention-plan that Castiel told Dean about? That Angel had some weird-ass ideas sometimes...anyway, Sam decided to play along and back his brother up. This is why the Winchester boys always were such a good team.

So when Sam finally decided to speak not only in his head his voice put the fear of...uhm ..err...god..no...well...kinda...uhm...


....and he also threatened to slap the shopkeeper with a book, but the shopkeeper had no parrots left so Sam's threat did not work on him. Also, Sammy had picked up a Softback instead of one of the 800 pages Hardbacks from the other shelf, so the shopkeeper knew, despite Sam's size and lion strength, that he had nothing to fear. Sam knew he had made a vital mistake grabbing the wrong book, but locked eyes with the shopkeeper until he finally told them to go and see his brother in Bolton, UK. He had an identical shop and maybe he had some parrots left.

So the Winchesters were heading to Bolton...

A Book every Hunter should own

I have just come back from wasting my time in Nottingham (a nice town though) going to a job interview that was a complete waste of my time and money.

Still, something good came out of it. I had an Iced Latte with Hazelnut flavour and spotted a book at Waterstone's bookshop that every Supernatural aficionado should add to his or her collection.

It's called "The Monster Hunter's Handbook" and it does what it says on the tin...no wait on the book cover.

Written by a guy from Manchester, only 2- 3 odd hours away, Ibrahim S. Amin has researched and compiled a nice collection of all beings supernatural and mythical.

But not only did he do that, he also offers examples of how to hunt, kill or generally rid yourself of these nasty beings. Early in the introduction he addresses those of us who do not wish to follow in the Winchester's footsteps:
"Even if you do not plan to go searching for a monster, there is no guarantee that a monster will not come searching for you."
So, if you want to know how to tame those yapping Hellhounds, get a Siren to commit suicide or hunt down a legendary weapon that is maybe even better than the Colt that can kill all evil, then waste no time hiding in a cupboard next time your hear those funny noises round your house.

Next time be prepared!
