  • Oh yeah. Food was not safe around him.

    In hindsight, that may have been why he liked me.

    He also figured out the trash bin locks. Mooky was a rapscallion, to be sure. Once, he ate a second wedding cake.

    Yes. You read that right. My mom had baked a wedding cake for a friend. He ate that. She baked a second. He ate that. Baked a third, and had it locked up at the friends place.

    when I was a kid- pretty much a toddler- we had this dog named Mooky. Mooky was a beagle from the pound. (not a rescue, an actual pound.)

    Mooky was a total fucker. He’d escape and go running across the neighborhood and the not-as-yet-developed lots behind our house.

    Mooky also hated people. I was the only person that dog tolerated. (and I was like 4 or so… so, like yeah. I wasn’t gonna train him.)

    Other shenanigans were destroying 3 sets of curtains, escaping at night to go play with the coyotes (and by ‘play’, Mooky liked to pick fights with them.) Another time, mom had bought a pound of expensive, hand crafted, chocolate truffles. Ultra-dark. Yeah. Mooky didn’t die. that dog was indestructible. He did leave a giant diueretic shit behind the couch that was about the size and shape of one of a giant hersey’s kiss. (About as big around as a dinner plate.)

    How indestructable was that incredibly vexxing asshole, you ask? One day I was being babysat by a neighbor. I had gotten into the backyard and came across a rattler (southern CA. lots of undeveloped land.) That dog showed up got bit twice and still didn’t die. He died at a nice, cantankerous age of probably twelve to fifteen.

    Was Mooky a bad dog? just a misunderstood asshole. All I’m gonna say is you never saw him and BatDog in the same place.





  • Again: I’ve not seen anywhere where that’s specifically linked.

    the timestamp I linked the forest video is him reading a screen grab from the instructor’s response as to exactly why they got the grade they got. one reason was not addressing the article in an assignment that was to react to an article. Which- also as Forest had said elsewhere- is a fairly normal type of essay to write up for anything related to science.

    there’s also a significant corpus of messaging board conversations with other students where the student was very offensive.

    Sure. And imagine trying to swing it at something or stabbing someone with it. They’d get sucked into the sword, sorta.

    But.

    Interactions with the sword of down is going to be interesting.

    Also, there’s shield of upside-down causes it to reverse when it successfully blocks.

    Also, there’s a small chance it’ll break at a really inopportune moment.

    hmmm.

    As DM, I’m always looking for ways of creating the potential for highly improbable but incredibly humorous TPKs.

    And I think I just found a new toy.

    Best part is, the Murder Hobo is going to love it. At least, until, eh, we’ll they’ll just have to find out.


  • FuglyDuck@lemmy.worldtoCooking @lemmy.worldWhere do you go to find your recipes?

    if you’re looking for baking stuff, King Arthur Flour has a lot of good and reliable recipes (and if you have problems, a help line, heh.)

    But generally, I find them on the internet or wherever. I’m not a fan of allrecipes or other recipe aggregates. I generally don’t trust YT recipes unless they’re someone whose got some chops, so to speak. (rando content creator recipes make me cry harder than onions.)

    I’ll also pass on any recipe touted as “easy” or similar. Not because I don’t like easy, but because a lot of times they take dubious shortcuts or add things that don’t really belong. For example, you really should use a ham hock for your pea soup. (or at the very least, pork/bone broth,) yes, it takes time. yes, it maybe more complicated. But it’s not nearly as good otherwise… and it’s not that difficult, really.
