How did you get up in the rafters anyway? Some very large spiders live there ... which might account for your screaming.

Pretty sure there's some old webs and bugs back there for you.

Observes its new surroundings curiously. Crawling further in, poking at odds and ends here and there. A stack of romance novels molding in the corner go untouched as the arachnid finds a good spot to sleep in a discarded crabs shell.

Probably one of the safer choices on the menu. Here you go: One hot cup of water and a selection of teas from which to choose. There's orange orangatang ...rose hips and cellulite ... and several others.

when the embassy between The Flying Spaghetti Monster Lands ends i predict we will either kidnap the spaghetti monster or we will lose all of xie's blessings (and curses)

also we have to make our own spaghetti now

I like spaghetti. I put cinnamon in my spaghetti too. Also turmeric. And the noodle water is usually a bit witch's brew, but the noodles are bomb.

People like my spagheti.

I also use mayo instead of butter in baking, but I use soda when I make cake. I don't use other stuff. It's cheaper and really good. I also like great depression cakes from time to time. They're fun, but not really vegan. Idk

Don't worry. I like Cthulhu too. I worship all the gods, and they hate that I do it. Even in real life, the gods are mad at me, and my onions didn't grow well after I angered two spring goddesses

The Spaghetti Monster lives in a cage in our basement. That other region is sort of a marinara-soaked ancestral home from which the Spaghetti Monster escaped--like the way pizza escaped Italy and now lives in a deep-dish establishment in Chicago.

You're welcome to your opinion, no matter how wrong it is. By the way, doesn't longspur hunting season begin on Tuesday?

No my sister beat me with it, because I said she spent more money on hair dye than therapy. Don't ask why. Or do... idc. I didn't start it!

So basically the spaghetti monster is a caged animal we just feed evidence to now and again? Kay... gonna go feed xem now. Got some...

The Moon's Guest

Zany's Poem

I deign to eat with the moon tonight,
For her appetite knows no bounds.
She'll eat and eat and eat and eat,
'Til her body blooms and rounds.

There's never much left for me these nights,
I'm so hungry you cannot fathom.
She ate it all, left none for me,
The gapped, awing chasm.

Suddenly I realize,
I might just have the fix.
A little piece, just here and there,
I'll make a nice eclipse.

Yiss this is good

Here's a poem:

There are biscuits
And Triscuits
But what
May I ask
Happened to the singular 'scuit'?
How did we forget it?
I fall
vacant
In the evening
I wake
bitter
In my bed.
I try vainly
To conceive how we fail in so many ways
And never know it.
How would one even call the singular scuit?
Monoscuit?
Uniscuit?
And what would it be?
Creating plurals with no base
Leaves them entirely unconnected
Concepts linked by nothing but the letters in their name
One must first define the foundation
Lest its variants become alien

Pushes the tumbleweed back out of the open door with a broom.

Looks up from cleaning a table...

The Old French word bescuit is derived from the Latin words bis (twice) and coquere, coctus (to cook, cooked), and, hence, means "twice-cooked". This is because biscuits were originally cooked in a twofold process: first baked, and then dried out in a slow oven. This term was then adapted into English in the 14th century during the Middle Ages, in the Middle English word bisquite, to represent a hard, twice-baked product.

The Dutch language from around 1703 had adopted the word koekje ("little cake") to have a similar meaning for a similar hard, baked product. The difference between the secondary Dutch word and that of Latin origin is that, whereas the koekje is a cake that rises during baking, the biscuit, which has no raising agent, in general does not.

So biscuits are by definition "twice cooked" and hard, and cookies by definition are actually little cakes.

In the United States and some parts of English Canada, a "biscuit" is a quick bread, somewhat similar to a scone. They are wrong! Those are NOT biscuits, but scones, precisely because they aren't twice cooked and are soft.

The Triscuit is a brand name. That name has no relation to any number, or how often it is cooked...

The Shredded Wheat Company began producing Triscuit in 1903 in Niagara Falls, New York. The name Triscuit is believed by some to have come from a combination of the words "electricity" and "biscuit". At least one early advertisement boasted that Triscuits were "Baked by Electricity,” claiming they were "the only food on the market prepared by this 1903 process."

Thus the undefined word of "scuit" or "cuit" would necessarily be the same as a cookie, being as it's etymology is derived from being (and meaning) 'cooked', just like "koekje" and "cookie" relate to the German word; "Kuchen" (cake), and "Kochen" which means to cook.

Cookie is dutch for "Tiny Cake", too. I learned this when I was 9 and I love this fact. I guess the Germans had a shorter name for it, but here's the thing...

...nothing in German is short. Maybe pronouns and articles and prepositions, if they're basic, but nouns tend to löngen
