Boring. Likes to read and crochet, among other things. Sinophile. History nerd.
I do like how B.Mo has God in his skits go "oh my Me" when stuff gets too much. Also, I remember there were accounts that claimed "Christ and his angels slept" in medieval England. I think it was the Civil War? Have to go rewatch Terry Jones to make sure...

he uses it on anything he wants to claim as his. It started as "his brother," "his uncle," "his Mr. Bunbun," and, well... LQR gestures at WWX and the house, where there's always the subtle scent of sandalwood.

After a couple years, WWX finds out that LWJ actually owns the house, and has been putting WWX's half of the rent away in savings for him. LXC laughs himself to the ground at WWX's confusion, and LQR has to quietly explain that even though LWJ doesn't actually *need* the special detergent anymore,

He starts calling WWX "brother in law" from then on, much to WWX's confusion.

Fast forward to when LWJ moves into a rental house with WWX to help the latter with expenses. LQR and LXC come for a visit, and LXC does a subtle sniff of WWX's shirt, then raises an eyebrow at LWJ, whose ears are now turning red.

Everything of his, from clothes to sheets/blankets, to toys, had to be washed in it. It was easier for Qiren to just use it for the household instead of trying to separate everything.

I adored it too. It boggles me that people were negatively affected psychologically (unless you knew those who died, obviously).

Well, "anos" without the tilde over the N is actually "anuses." No, I am not trolling. One of the gals at work got banned from trying to speak Spanish to customers because she would say and write it without the "nyeh" sound. XD She didn't ask age, she asked how many anuses they had.

There was a piece on this from PBS, on its Otherwords. It blew my mind, but also made sense of those 90's "Hooked on Phonics" commercials. Kids needed them because they were no longer teaching it in schools, and I guess Sesame Street became too Elmo-ified to be doing that anymore.

I can't tell if this is amusing sarcasm, or if the telescope really came unscrewed. It's funny regardless, just also worrisome if the latter.

Iirc, that started as Old Norse "kroker" or something like that, meaning hook. Then Old French "croche," which is also hook, and where we get the term "crochet." It's just a thing where some part of a straight thing bends. No innuendo. Just Germanic. So yeah, elbows, knees, shoulders, just bends.

I'd think that only covers homes, not workplaces or public spaces. You could totally get someone on the highway or if they stole something in a public place. Also, there's undercover work. An invite in is an invite in, regardless if it's under false pretenses.

I. LOVED. THAT. SHOW. And since Canada has a tight stable of actors, I was always able to pick out this person or that person in a crowd scene. XD
