Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for July 26, 2012

“I didn’t want to GO, I just wanted to be invited.” Makes sense to me. :)

Remember that the SHIELD OF BORINGNESS will be up: They won’t see her as being that extraordinary.

The best way to get kids to stop caring about a party is by telling them they have to go :D

I guess you’ve got no choice Phoebe.

I went back and reread some old ones about the origin of what the Shield of Boringness means, but I still don’t get what being “bored” means here. something to do with being bored and using your imagination to get “unbored?”

“Shield of Boringness” was probably the best name for the ability that Ms Simpson could come up with. Those of us in the know understand what it is. I myself have the “Shield”, but I can’t lower it.

In Douglas Adams “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” series, he described an invisibility device called an “S.E.P. (Somebody Else’s Problem) field”. It makes whatever projects it something that you don’t have to notice.

boring much better. People CAN’T see what’s right under their noses after they’ve blanked out the boring. The ordinary gets checked on every so often..Better than camouflage! using a human’s own brain waves to divert attention away. Shield message to brain = I’m boreing. Brain to itself = Object is boring, check. Brain to nervous system = blank boring object out.

How dangerous? Is this King Haggard summon up the red bull demon kind of dangerous?
