In a particular group of four friends, lets call them Mr Purple, Mr Red, Mrs Pink and Mrs Spot suggested and someone, usually Mr Red, although sometimes Mr Blue now too, will exclaim: "and what could possibly go wrong?" I think I mayhavejust dreamed up a way to answer that question. The trick is to think of what could go wrong if they were all normal intelligent human beings, and then put in, say, the Mr Purple factor.
Now, the Mr Purple factor is the addition of blue LEDs, slight computer geekiness and a bit of the dodgey-old-man. There is also much fun to be had when he drives his car around roundabouts...
The Mr Red factor also includes some of the computer geekiness, but towards linux mostley. One of his other notorious factors is the not-being-on-time factor, although, admittedly, this seems to have rubbed off a bit onto the others in the group.
Mrs Pink adds the pink factor -the vodka rasberry factor, really- and a generally mathsey vibe to every situation she enters. Despite this 'apparent' geekiness, she does not gell with computers as well as expected, and so offsets some of the computer geekiness of the Men. She is the wearer of the shoes and therefore has the authority to judge someone on the pair of shoes they are wearing.
Mrs Spot, however, is the wearer, and chooser, of the earrings. She is also the ability to lose something within 3 minutes of putting it down, to continually have something a bit wrong with her laptop (there is something stuck under the spacebar at the moment making typing difficult), something about Mooseheads and she has the strongest 'spotto' factor of anyone.
These factors intereact to make a plan that might go wrong a bit, or be a bit dodgey, even more so. With all their powers combined, it not hard to imagine someone wearing massively high platforms that flash blue LEDs on the soles, while the they spill vodka rasberry down their white shirt, waiting for someone who might possibly fix Mrs Spot's computer who is currently running 45 minutes late...
