Okay, it's time. I have a prized Cult of the dead cow Zippo lighter. These simply do not exist anywhere. But a CDC member is hurting and I want to encourage donations to the GoFundMe, so out it goes. Details in thread.

Wow! Massive thanks to @timoflegend.bsky.social and @doublefine.com for this insanely cool gift (and very sweet note) to celebrate their 25th Anniversary. My local Tiki Bar shut down over the summer so once again Double Fine to the rescue. I shall raise a glass to you all tonight. 🥂

They just write these stupid things on pieces of paper, and pull them out of a hat. None of these idiots believe this nonsense, it's purely to piss people off while they launder money and defraud the public.

Highland cattle are famous for their ability to "disco nap". Normally these brief, efficient sleeps will last between three and twenty minutes, deploying a variety of objects as pillows, including moorland boulders, cars or any particularly large dog or sheep who happens to be nearby.
