At least book gandalf just growled it. A growl to me is a lot quieter than what movie gandalf did

I teach outdoors for school groups in a nature area and a part of that process is a discovery hike. Its me, about 12 kids, and a parent chaperone and as we are walking through the woods we see a deer. All these kids, who were in 4th grade, were so excited! We very quietly watched it grazing around in this woods, not giving us any mind at all, when it sort of gets its antlers tangled in some vine and ends up pulling a dead tree down on top of it.

The deer is now flailing under a whole ass tree that collapsed right on to it, and it clearly is suffering. It is making the worst kinds of noises and I have the parent keep the kids back as I approach this crazed stag. It clearly suffered head trauma and was bleeding. The worst part is that it was right on the path back and, due to the terrain, there was really no way to get around this deer without being close to it. After trying and failing to get the deer loose, I had the children all vlimb over the tree and we went back. To top it off they all immediately got on the bus to go home, so it was the last memory these kids had of the place.

I ended up going back and putting the deer down. Absolutely traumatizing.

I have a lot of experience reconstructing whale skeletons for museums and such. I do it as a hobby with a friend of mine who is the marine mammals recovery coordinator for the state of North Carolina.

Go lick some boots

Your business is licking shit off boots

Batman and Robin.

Recently I have been reading a lot of folklore from eastern Europe. I find it all fascinating since it doesn't get told as much where I am from as things like Greek mythology.

Libraries. Nothing better than hanging out in a library. Also parks

All I hear is the shit in your mouth from all the boots you've licked

That's... why I'm here

Good minds and all that ;)

On the planet of Risayn the locals are almost exclusively pescatarian. Since First Contact, Earth-style sushi has become an incredibly popular dish in cities and smaller settlements alike, though they often use other ingredients instead of rice, which isn't well known to the inhabitants. It is seen as an important cultural link between Earth and Risayn and is often served when humans and the locals meet.

I was obsessed with Long John Silver as a child, but I think I might enjoy the character of Captain Ahab more nowadays. I guess I have a thing for flawed maritime literary characters

They were already eating fish in a variety of ways and the introduction of sushi clicked for the locals.

I hold that in the movie it is gandalf shouting "FOOL OF A TOOK!" that gets all the orcs moving. Piplin is an innocent hobbit

Nay! For Frodo!

A vanilla milkshake is among the greatest things to grace the Earth

I think that this presents an exciting opportunity for your players to accidentally alert a powerful enemy to your presence by accidentally teleporting their crystal ball directly into its line of sight. Could be a fun hook for the campaign!

A solid core gameplay mechanic that everything else builds off of like the portals in Portal or the idea of catching and battling pokemon in the original pokemon

Haha I think I would describe it more like erector sets than lego but yes it is very similar. We put the whales in the ground for ~18 months and then pull them out and out them together piece by piece
