Mummy bat's life purpose fulfilled by becoming MY AVATAR.

[FuSoYa]

Mia and I went to this evil abandoned mine last night, and inside one of the tunnels noticed this FROSTY MUMMY BAT hanging upside down from the ceiling/wall. It appeared to be not breathing at all, and was covered with a layer of frost or mica. I can't decide which.

I blew lightly on the mummy bat to try to rid it of the mica dust (if that's what it really was), and then the mummy bat emitted an ancient groan and wriggled very languidly for a second. We concluded that, had it been a live bat it was probably hibernating, but since it was a mummy bat, blowing on it was just the first part of the incantation required for reanimation.

Then I was thinking, reanimated mummies move pretty slowly, so a mummy bat probably would as well. So if the mummy bat tried to fly at you, it would probably fall to the ground because it couldn;t flap its dusty wings fast enough.

Conclusion: mummy bats shamble like any regular mummy. Agreed?

They take the Batmobile, of course.

*groan*

I'm tired.
And I think the holiday hokey-ness is wearing off on me.

The best part about that is that this model batmobile is just the perfect size for Mummy Bat!

I wonder if when batman sits in his full-size batmobile, if he sits on his cape or if he pushes it out of the way so his butt is flush with the seat and the cape is off to the side? I hate sitting on the long part of my coat; it's like, if you try to move too much in one direction you get restricted because you're sitting on your damn coat!!!

 

[chupe666]

Since the batmobile here is a convertible, I would think he'd not sit on it, but pull it over the back of the seat so it could flap in the wind.

 

[FuSoYa]

Let me just say that if he did not do that, he is dumb.

I'm happy no one so far has voted that they don't believe in Mummy Bat!

 

[screwdriverqueen]

i can't believe that conversation:

toby: i think it's dead
mia: HAHA! holy shit, it's a mummified bat!
toby: OMG look it has ice crystals! LET'S TAKE IT.

*bat starts rustling at this point*

 

[FuSoYa]

Rustling! That's totally what it did!

Question: The rabies of the undead. What is the effect on live humans?

 

[avi]

that could be a whole new poll post

 

[goatschool]

did you two ever consider this cloak as anything other than a death shroud?

that is to say, have you maybe thought that it was a... ermm... COCOON?

maybe this is how bat-spiders are created?

i think this is probably one of the most interesting discoveries i've heard about in recent years.

are you going back?? more pictures??

dude. his cape flows over the top of the seat, so it sort of flows in the wind and gives him a cheap little auto-asphyxiated thrill... all at once.

on the other hand, Robin sits his ass right down on that cape.

TOBY AND MIA the one thing I warned you about that mine was STAYING AWAY FROM BATS!

In retrospect, I should also have warned you about the passage full of undead miners I sealed up last time I was in there. Hope that wasn't a problem.

 

[FuSoYa]

Well you could have at least told us that what you 'sealed' it with was a mere COUPLE OF BOARDS OF SLIMY ROTTEN WOOD.

Bitch bitch bitch. Rotten boards always seem to work out in the movies, so why bother with the whole Elder Sign ordeal?
