This kind of party hasn't stopped until your father gets home

No kind of aggravation 
like family nonsense aggravation 
cuz the family nonsense don't stop, 

...not after all the times she's been to the hypnotist, or gone on Chantix again. She actually hired a bodyguard to like, prevent her? 
Yeah no, no, she fired him the same week! 
No, she fired him, she didn't break up with him!!!
WHAT.
No I did NOT know, oh my GOD and THEN she fired him so she didn't HAVE to break up with him!? 
So anyway, *I* still say a conscious and intentional practice of pica is the only thing that will interfere in the oral fixation, subvert the muscle memory of liking things that taste bad, what with growing up in the war and all.  
Like rubber squares, or sterile sand. I told her AGAIN last month, Just try chewing this rubber! Feel it in your teeth and lick it! okay not this one, no...  
Yeah no... yeah...  
Well, I forget how long it's been I my bag, but the point is, it is her oral fixation piece that is REALLY what's behind the cigars.
Sure, the sticks too, I guess, they're like cigars... 
No, actually that does NOT count as pica! 
No! Because it is a cigar replacement! 
No she does NOT take them from the dog, you made that up to get me in trouble!
Because I was TEN that's why. 
No you always do this! 
Uhhuh. 
No, to entertain your own self, by seeing if I still fall for it! 
Like i can't tell when you're making up a preposterous lie to get you out of saying anything serious. 
No yeah no its funny this time, you just had to keep trying for thirty years. 
Okay I gotta go. Bye.

No kind of aggravation like family nonsense aggravation cuz the family nonsense don't quit, not after all the times she's been to the hypnotist, tried Chantix again, I for one still say a conscious and intentional practice of pica is the only thing that will interfere in the oral fixation, subvert the muscle memory of liking things that taste bad, what with the war and all.  Like rubber squares, or sterile sand. I told her AGAIN last month, Just try chewing this rubber!

    This one really nails that conversant, looping train of thought you can get in a bad state of mind

      Hehe i meant it to be one side of a phone conversation. I quite see how it works as a train of thought, though, one where you are sure of what the other party will say and are just running a script like you imagine it would play out, maybe not even bothering to word for word come up with what so-and-so will say; i experience those as a kind of emotion- and semantically-coded response ping.

      This person has clearly nagged their family with this idee-fixe of 'conscious and intentional practice of pica' time and again, a phrase that makes me laugh out loud. Chew on the sand, Mom, you don't want Chantix nightmares do you?

Doc Illig has quiet quit from the intellectual influencer game, with rumors of substantial financing, both crowdfunded and donations from Silicon Valley futurists. The good Doktor observes exquisite data hygiene and operational security, but each of his monthly videos features intriguing objects placed oh so casually by his elbow or shoulder: a mastodon tooth and a picture frame incorporated bowhead whale teeth strongly suggest the Alaskan panhandle or islands of British Columbia. It is indeed a luxury mad scientist base, tidewater adjacent for interactions with deep ones, who are entirely blasé about their transactions with Illig. They borrow his cars without asking, apparently going for joyrides or private errand; they tinker with his observatory equipment at will, installing biological objects still dripping saltwater and m

Appendix ن

Yr Hmbl Satrap's Personal Appendix N   ن Blogspot's sans serif Arabic nun is just killing me  This has been going around the OSRsphere — confer Vodka Gobalsky's . Many of my entries will be familiar to anyone reading this; rather than introduce them to some alien or time traveller who never heard of Jack Vance or Moebius, i've put a few words about the meaning of these works in my imaginarium. fantasy & fantasy adjacent sf/horror   Elric series, Michael Moorcock . I read a fair bit of lowbrow fantasy as a teen. Dragonlance, David Eddings. Elric was an antidote to all that: more than a role model to me and countless boys who thought a black trenchcoat made us more interesting (and we were right),  Moorcock showed me that a an awesome dude with a badass sword can be a vehicle for serious literature. The lost boys and I came for gothdom without wedgies, but if we wanted to stay, the point is to break all the high fantasy tropes: betrayed, defeated, revealed in their sh

Design Goals for Rolling Up a Sorq of Your Very Own

  SORQ anti-canon Oops all tables all the time idea All of SORQ can be generated procedurally at table or in mini-games. Encourage sharing DM duties, rolling up new regions and springing them fully stocked and brimming with science-fantasy early-modern bureaucratic adventure. Generate world: session 0 with full table, all players and DMs Detail regions: each tableer takes homework, responsibility for rolling up one region; or table picks one region of interest to start with, and the Lifetime DM will begin to stock this home region.  Planetary regions come in bands around the globe. Equatorial sea, islands  Weather, ships, sea monsters, shipping lanes Shore lands — civilized in seven conventional regions (tables of names). City-states of note: metropole, large, ordinary poleis (tables of population and notables) [the poleis will receive substantial detail] Hinterlands inland from coastal poleis: , estates, reserves, parks, underworld access lands Scattered archaic and Abate
