Then there's a bunch of books where she's described as the queen of the unseelie court. But it's all very recent, in terms of literature. Right, I now vaguely recall that Merlin. But don't remember her as evil so much as trying to cling to her cultural heritage which was being wiped out by invaders. Maybe I just overly sympathize with the fae courts. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This includes ours, btw, since that's exactly what Worcestershire sauce is. Fermented fish meat would probably not interest me much. I have had people not believe me when I tell them what Worcestershire sauce is.... And that were happier not knowing. Hikarl was not actually that terrible - I liked it better than... turnips... for example. (I really don't like turnips.) The professor also told us about this Greenland dish made from sea birds sown into a seal skin and buried under a rock for nine months, so I consider myself lucky that hikarl was as far as he went. (Plus, he could get hikarl imported for the class - I do not think that I could have managed to eat kiviak.) He was of the opinion that any cultural anthropologist that might end up in the field needed to be able to eat anything presented. The Auld Grump 14 hours ago, Cyradis said: Am I Crock-Potting right? I put in carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, chicken, quinoa, broth, and a crap ton of curry powder - now I wait a few hours and BOOM food happens? Wish I had some peas for it. Oh well. If it goes *BOOM!* then you did something wrong.... The Auld Grump 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unruly Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Well, it's done. They didn't even need us. He pled to the PI and Disorderly charges and got a fine. So I wasted over 2 hours that could have been spent sleeping... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently, Loki decided that it looked better on the floor. Thankfully, it's easily repairable and only some minor touch ups are required. A friend of mine (Dennis the Younger) has ferrets. One likes to steal miniatures and hide them. The Auld Grump - we don't play at his place very often.... 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPS shows my RCon box is delivered, hopefully to the right neighbour! I've had a good time. I'd stay longer if I could, and if I didn't have house stuff to sort out. @Guindyloo, you failed. You were supposed to feed Buglips so much fried foods that he wouldn't be able to leave through the door, let alone the vents.

buglips*the*goblin Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Is it a sign that I've been in the hobby too long when I look at the Battle of Tripleh's desk and my first reaction is: "Ooh, Tim Mee army men. I didn't think they still made that style." or is it a sign I've become sage and wizened? 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
