I don’t generally like sweet things. I’m not fond of jams and jellies, and I prefer my baked goods to be savoury – but I really can’t resist a tea-time scone, with strawberry jam and a bit of whipped cream. I’d never go out of my way to make ‘em, and I won’t go out of my way to find ‘em, but if they’re available, I will put them in my face and have a damned good time doing so. Just don’t make me actually drink tea, please.

Crap. Now I got a craving for scones and Strawberry Jam. Thank you Geoff! My diet is ruined.

Diet rhymes with denial. Eat!

Then ask yourself “could somebody have pooped in the jam”……

I know your pain! Had cake today… twice!

Is it Geoff’s fault it is Tasty Tuesday?
For me, this looks like anything can happen (and it did) Tuesday
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:24
Uh, yeah. Of course…
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:27
So glad it’s not Monday. Short week FTW

Meanwhile, in Rus… Errr, Africa.

A refreshing change

Pffft!

March 29, 2016 at 17:01
Hahahaha only saw the gif now. You should say something like F5 or refresh when you comment.
Jan Prins
March 29, 2016 at 16:16
One should not laugh but…
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:19
Yeah. As if you, YOU, wouldn’t laugh at others’ misfortune and/or stupidity. Right.
Jan Prins
March 29, 2016 at 16:21
Misfortune, no. I do not laugh at other people’s misfortune. Stupidity though: I sometimes think that deserves to be laughed at.
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:27
Hmmm, I’m sure I heard something in a Dutch proverb somewhere about this?
HvR
March 29, 2016 at 16:28
“as jy stupid is moet jy k…..”
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:29
HAHAHA
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:21
I’d laugh even if it was me, you know, once I regained consciousness
Jan Prins
March 29, 2016 at 16:22
Yeah. Sometimes the best thing you can do is laugh at yourself.
miaau
March 29, 2016 at 16:23
Seen a picture of you.
You are, shall we say, larger (tall, very tall) than life. Would that the chair would hold so long as it did.
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:24
Eloquent, indeed.
For the layman reading this: he said Hammer is huge (not fat, huge) and the chair wouldn’t hold under his weight.
miaau
March 29, 2016 at 16:25
yes
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:26
My apologies. Sometimes my inner condescension needs a little air.
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:27
XD, I could stand to lose some weight though. Oh beer, you are an vengeful mistress
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:28
Admiral isn’t here. Your lucky he aint.
Also, it’s raining and I’m on the bike. I didn’t check the weather this morning, and don’t have my rain gear. Sad. Fucking. Face.
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:29
Crap, that’s bad, maybe it’ll clear up soon. Where is Admiral anyway?
Pariah
March 29, 2016 at 16:30
No idea, but his absence has been noted. I’m more than a few grammar errors went untouched today. I hope he reads them ALL tomorrow. 😀
And no, it’ll clear up at about 4am tomorrow, according to the weather. So, home wet it is.
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:32
Eish, good luck
miaau
March 29, 2016 at 16:39
good luck, take it slow. AND I hope your mud guards are secure, else…….

Food poisoning since Saturday. Looks like my constitution roll finally got a success today

Heeeeeeeeeey! Chiefs in the house!

Still better than my division roll, especially against a few clowns that decided it’s a good idea to go rogue against anything low level at the entrances of the dark zone, the poor lvl 17 dude that joined me kept respawning close to where they kept killing everyone, needless to say I got penalized from lvl 35 down to 33 trying to help the dude out, roughly 6 hours of grinding down the drain… And then I got the same Constitution roll that you had, just a smaller dosage…
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:26
hehe this is true, obviously with my weight in mind I would stack at least fourth chairs and attempt it on grass. At the very least the grass would cushion the blow to my face
miaau
March 29, 2016 at 16:27
Are you like a cat then?
Land on your face? Oh, so not that much like a cat. But your face? Surely is easier to land with hands out or something like that?
Hammersteyn
March 29, 2016 at 16:28
I wish, I have the grace of a ox
HvR
March 29, 2016 at 16:23
I laugh the hardest at people playing stupid games and then winning stupid prizes.

I hope that Voltron remake will be something awesome.
