ASK ME SOMETHING!!
Could some of yinz ask me some questions, I’d like to check out a few things in my Askhole.
Language Barrier
On my way into the kitchen, I notice the cat casually sitting on the heating vent, staring at me. Rather than going about my business, I decide to stop in my tracks, stare him down and start making animals sounds. During this whole exchange, I notice his right ear twitch, and not much else in terms of a response. Annoyed that my efforts did nothing to unsettle the creature, I mutter under my...

Happy Birthday, Bailey!
Turns out it’s Bailey’s (@baileygenine) birthday today. Sam (@samhey) and I thought it might be nice if we gathered up a bunch of people to make her a group video card, with this little fill-in-the-blank script as the only direction: “Hi Bailey! I think that you are [adjective]. For your birthday, I got you a(n) [adverb adjective noun]. Have a(n)...
