  1. Not a single day this week has been quiet. Something is in the water or something

    Cause everyday people are acting out of character more than usual, the numerous storms?

    Something else? Holy Cannoli I’m not getting paid enough to babysit grown adults

    Second time where I had to separate people.

  2. The silenced ebbed now the word fly ten

     

  3. I got plot bunnied. :help:

    Had one vague plot bouncing around Posted it just to help clear the brain now I got like three more.

    This isn’t how math is supposed to work.:alien::shark:

      The little ankle-biters are like that. You let one plot bunny in, and next thing you know, your ankles are raw and you can’t stop typing. :lol:

       

    2. Desiderius Price

      Only three?  :)

      Yeah, plot bunnies are very fruitful and they multiply… more like a factorial (or at least the Fibonacci series)

      I hate when that happens. I have been playing with a few different plot bunnies because I’ve been dealing with repairs. So instead of actually writing, I end up with little bits and pieces of stories I haven’t written yet.

  4. Everyone is still quite welcome to partake in Halloween 2022!

      TBH, I’m a bit skeptical to the claims in the video – feels like something I’d see in a game/film trailer.  However, assuming these claims are true, it would be revolutionary (undecided if it’s good or bad).  It’d either fuel mad scientists dreams or relieve woman of the perils of pregnancy/childbirth.  Imagine if it could handle later-stage embryos; transplantation in lieu of abortions.  Or, if you raise ‘em brain dead, you could clone yourself; or cannibalize it for spare parts.  Oh, the possibilities… both in real life and for stories :)

    2. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      Oh @Desiderius PriceI so adore you sometimes.

      Yeah, I’m heavily skeptical but I also know people also didn’t think the internet wasn’t going to be a thing. Yet, here we are lol.

      The first step of creation is by making the world accept the concept.

  10. I’m think I’m going to try water fowl next year

    Duck or Goose. Hmm…

    I suppose they shouldn’t be too different? Maybe oiler? Anyone have either?

      All of that sounds amazing so now I want duck too 😭

    3. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      @BronxWenchMight I ask for the details of the recipe?

      Thinking about it for Christmas

    4. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      Sure!

      For the glaze, I use 12 ounces of fresh cranberries, 1 teaspoon of orange extract, 2 mandarin oranges, peeled and chopped roughly (save the peels), 1 cup of water, and 1 cup of sugar (although if you don’t want it too sweet, you can use ½ cup of sugar). Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, then add the cranberries, orange extract, and chopped mandarins. Reduce the heat so you get a gentle boil, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cranberries have burst open, and the liquid has reduced most of the way.

      For the duck, preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the duck on a rack (really important) in a roasting pan, and put a few pieces of the mandarin peel in the cavity. Brush some of the glaze over the duck.  Roast for 45 minutes, painting the duck with glaze every 15 minutes. Take the pan out of the oven and prick the skin all over, so the fat will release and drain off. Put the duck back in the oven and roast for another hour and 15 minutes, painting the duck with more glaze every 15 minutes. I check for doneness with a meat thermometer. For duck, I check the thickest part of the breast, and it should reach 175°F. If the duck isn’t done, keep glazing every 15 minutes and checking the temperature until you reach 175°F.

      The rest of the glaze makes a nice sauce for the cooked duck when you serve it. 

  11. Happy Pre-Turkey Day! :D

    Full Bellies and warmest wishes for all as we celebrate the hard fought harvest of this year.

      @BronxWenchwhom did you sacrifice and where?

    3. BronxWench

      BronxWench

      *tries to look casual and innocent* 

      It really wasn’t that big a deal. That man should not have tried to take the turkey I coveted, the one with the extra plump breast and drumsticks a Rockette would envy. I’m sure the crows in the parking lot at Stew’s appreciated the treat, though...

      *Tries* Being the keyword =p

       

      I’m merely admiring. The best I could find was a ten pounder. That suspiciously seems to be rather water heavy.

       

       

  12. Happy Birthday! :wish:

     

    Most importantly, thank you for all that you do :bounce:

  13. Kinda feel a bit cursed.

    First thing I learned was to cancel memberships and now it seems like it’s all I’m doing.<_<

      I mean there’s a point where uncanny valley kicks in turning artificial beauty into a horrendous ugliness. The proportions just a tad off turning it in grotesqueire

  14. New job still takes time getting used to.

      Lol I should put that on the bucket list. Nah, gym has tanning beds.

    3. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      So, why do people use tanning beds instead of simply… I don’t know… going outside?

    4. InvidiaRed

      I mean its kinda egregious since arizona has 30 cloudy days at best in a year? Who knows?

  15. Happy Halloween everybody! Happy Samhain and All Saints Day!

    We wish you safe tidings as the unseen and seen brush together this year.

    For today is the day where monsters and men intersection and one may be the other and none shall be what it seems. :wiz:

    So have fun y’all spirits benign and malign and ghoulies! <3

      The blessings of Samhain on us all, as the year comes to a close for us mad Celts.

      And for everyone else, may it be all treats and no tricks! :lol:

      I couldn’t agree more: Happy All Saints Eve,folks!

  16. I forgot how much paperwork a new job requires!

    Dear god, legalese!

    1. Desiderius Price

      Paperwork for peanuts in return, quite a bargain </sarcasm>

      Considering I literally just read the entirety of everything. The non competition clause I suppose is a bit more annoyance. But I suppose in tech it’d make sense.

      The odds of me taking whatever esoteric knowledge of gyms and becoming the dark lord of one is exceedingly fractional.

  17. I swear this site is becoming my lucky charm. Been doing job apps out the arse with no response calls. Click on the site I finally get a call back and an hour later I got a date.

      Must be you, because I’ve not seen that sort of luck.

  19. I got called an old fogey today:rolleyes: And this was my response.

    "Come dance in the rain!" Says the braggart to the fool. "Come dance in the rain tis only water." And yet the fool remains indoors. "Yet, water isn't yellow." States the fool to the braggart. Angered by this observation for to the braggart water from above had always been yellow. "You'll miss your chance to dance in the rain and then you'll be sorry." For why would an old fogy not want to dance in the rain? It was warm never realizing rain is supposed to be cold. So the fool responds "And I shall indeed dance in the rain." As the fool bolts the door. The braggart sighs in dismay why won't the fool come out to play? Lifts his head up and catches the last few bitter drops on his tongue before he departs to look for an axe. Somewhere above the sound of thunder that was actually a zipper resounds. The giant departs contented for having "watered" the amusing little creatures below and sees the clouds rolling in. "Its going to rain." Says the giant and then it does and the fool unbolts the door and dances in the cool refreshing rain that the braggart misses entirely for he is off looking for an axe to break down fool's door.

  20. Welp, Episode eight managed to somehow find the subbasement to rock bottom. Dear god where do I start?

    It is a banal anathemic sacrilege and outright vitriolic and visceral sustained blasphemic abortion to Tolkien’s works. Not only is tone deaf in a way that only a soulless and hellbound corporation could manage. It goes out of its way to be Anti-Tolkien even at its basest level.

    Corporate Anti-fiction as its final shuddering evolution on par with the erecting of the tower of babel itself.  Not only does it absolutely and resolutely undermine LOTR in its entirety it precludes the conceptual possibility of LOTR altogether.

    it has to be AU at best.

    The least of its crimes against nature and sin is it refutes the concept of goodness itself. Morgoth won the war is the best way to describe it. Eru Ilúvatar could never have created something this vacuous and empty.

    Galadriel-Sue is the brand new face of a blackhole mary sue. Reality is her bitch and even the plot gives way to her mercurial wants.

    Non-negotiable Ray Palpatine doesn’t even come close to this new found level of mary sue. This utterly insulting caricature. She is the left hand and right hand of Morgoth at the same time. Fk it Galadriel is what a successful Morgoth would look like.

    Not only is she the instigator of everything in RoP. She’s The Dark Lord of the entire franchise by proxy who not only is forgiven but gets to escape karma entirely and go to the Undying Lands.  Sauron himself is her victim. Let that sink in.

    I joked in an earlier post that sauron was the only one that could topple her. Nope, she took an erupting volcano to the face. Her plot armor is so heavily reinforced and thick I don’t even think the Death Star could touch her.

    Sauron is exactly who you think it is and he is the doomed hero of the series.

    This finale is what the death of fiction looks like.

    If a corporation and or hollywood so much as even looks in your direction. Rings of Power is the absolute and resolute lasting example of what they’ll do to your beloved works if given even half a chance. Have a lawyer on hand and a box of pampers cause there’d be no possibility of even a bathroom break for the author on set who’d actively have to have a fricking loaded gun on the desk in front of everyone in the writing room at all times.

    Rings of Power -10/10 Actively avoid at all costs with the acknowledgment that anyone praising it is actively trying to gaslight you.

      The sole point I’ll admit is the OST and orchestra has to be tired carrying this horrid world on its back.

      It’s bad fanfiction, using visuals to break my eyeballs.

      Corporate Anti-fanfiction with visuals.

  21. Episode eight here I come.:unsure:

     

    A finale shouldn’t cause a pit of dread.

    1. Desiderius Price

      Desiderius Price

      Push that finale into that pit of dread, and seal it up with concrete (after tossing in a skeleton or two)

      Anti-Fanfiction is a hereto previously unknown genre that I wished to never had the misfortune of witnessing.  Even bad fiction no matter how poorly written could ever attain a perch of intentional malice.

  22. I feel like Dobby since I only have to stomach episode 8 and I can leave RoP behind for good thank god.
