F'reals. I have a BIL who is... a piece of work. I have asked that I be told if he'll be at a thing so I can choose to attend. He is absolutely not welcome at my place. My MIL decided to bring him to a small meal at my place, I kicked both out. Never invited again.
Set boundaries.
Protect yourself.

Rocking the OG today!

it was the 80s? I was a kid playing with random things in the garage? I'm definitely not suggesting anyone do the same (it's a wonder many of us survived that decade), was endeavouring to share an experience (albeit a really stupid one) and reinforce the "gosh, that's a horrible idea".

I did that a few times with pickles (the nails + wall socket), but I put a switch and 30 amp fuse in the circuit. They glowed and then exploded...

Found the cooker thing, for entertaining reference:

I recall finding a hotdog cooker at a garage sale back in the 80s that was just two racks of spikes along each side of a plastic base and you just plugged hotdogs onto the spikes and then turned it on and it just pumped wall current through. Wild times.

Group hug means I'm gonna target your commander for removal/stealing, and yes thank you for the card draw but I don't need your charity.

With the exception of one local player who's start is "Imma group hug you to death" and is delightfully direct about it.

I just squealed loud enough that my wife (from across the house) asked if I was okay. This is incredible!

Makes the bond between Hornet and the Bell Beast, as well as the ending to the Bell Eater fight, all the more meaningful.

Such a subtle piece of work by Team Cherry. Brilliant.

My kiddo wants to be an animal rescuer. Understanding animal behaviours and recognizing reaction cause is awesome.

The Bell Eater has a triangular red head, with two curved white fangs.

Hornet has a triangular red cloak, with two curved white horns.

So when the Bell Beast is stuck in the silk, and all of a sudden the visage of its primary predator busts through, it fights to defend itself and its young.. (3/?)

Our early theories were that it was a "I'm scared and trapped and will lash out at whatever comes near me." But when the dust (and pieces) of the Bell Eater settled, she says "OH! It's because Hornet looks like the Bell Beast's big predator!"

...

I was stunned.. (2/?)

Heh, a few months ago I rearranged some furniture and couldn't move a bookshelf. Recruited a helper and between the two of us we still couldn't budge it more than a few inches. Looked up after a few and realized I'd anchor strapped it... They work!

Following up: it is absolutely fantastic. This is how I'm rolling up to every gathering this season.

My kiddo found this one the day after we got stormed on while camping!

Every time I walk away from the deck after a set and get thanked/congratulated/appreciated for (and I quote) "bringing my soul and sharing it with all of us", I feel better than almost anything else in the world. You are fantastic, and one of these days I hope to catch you live.

Can we acknowledge how amazing a M:TG-themed drag name "Nicole Balls" is?
