Spider (magical beast) that can telekinetically "tumbleweed" at prey/PCs as a charge/pounce and its venom inflicts a dancing form of hideous laughter?

I'll go through the list of posts I've made that have been favorited by other people and revisit the past. That ought to kill a few minutes." I scrolled through, laughing occasionally, sometimes wondering why a certain post got favorited, until I reached the end. And there it was, the first post of mine that someone else favorited. One I had almost completely forgotten about. One I was, and still am, kinda proud of. The one favorited by Cosmo, although I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. So, for anyone who cares (and also for those who don't) here is a link to my first favorited post.
I will point to not my first favorited post, but my fifth. (Although my last page of favorited posts are pretty much all from before favoriting began, which means people would have had to go back to find them.)
The best part is that two posts later it elicited an in-character response from Lisa Stevens.

Huzzah! Got back from some furniture window shopping to find out from Facebook that my friend from the old job in Philly is now a parent. His wife gave birth to their first, a little girl, just yesterday evening. She's a month premature, but otherwise healthy. Huzzah!
And, whilst perusing FB I saw a post by another friend (and fraternity brother) announcing the birth of his daughter as well. Double huzzah!

It's called (Otto's) irresistible dance :P

Irresistible dance is a 6th-/8th- level spell. Re-flavoring hideous laughter, a 1st-level, to a "tarantella" dance can keep the same mechanics/effects, and be easier to scale without being overpowered:
This spell afflicts the subject with uncontrollable spasming and twitching. It collapses into a seizure, falling prone. The subject can take no actions while seizing, but is not considered helpless. After the spell ends, it can act normally. On the creature's next turn, it may attempt a new saving throw to end the effect. This is a full round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If this save is successful, the effect ends. If not, the creature continues seizing for the entire duration.
Edit: Drejk, if you don't use this, I'll write it up for Wayfinder #12 (Osirion issue, I think).

This recipe was a bit different than your standard piccatta, Got this one off of food network "The pioneer woman". This had lemon, capers, garlic chicken broth, white wine and cream with some lemony buttery noodles to complement it

That actually sounds like the standard piccata. Except for the cream. I haven't made it, but I would just deglaze the saute pan with white wine, then mix some broth and corn starch in a bowl before whisking it in to the pan, and wait until the end to add a dash of lemon, some capers, and a tablespoon or two of cold butter to enrich it.
Damn. Now I want some.

Damn, I think I gained a couple pounds just reading that.

I'm pretty sure this is information I have shared before.
Regardless, even if I liked it I wouldn't be allowed to have it now, thanks to my no-caffeine restriction from the doctor. If I was going to have it, it was going to have caffeine in it. No decaf for me. Same way I'm handling tea.

Morning FaWtL folk. Hope ya'll are well and had a lovely weekend. :)
Have the kidlet again for a few days. I seriously have no idea what's going on, but it's great. He's almost walking all proper like. He's getting chattier, and I think he's even used words in the correct context once or twice. Mostly hiya while waving at people. ^_^
I'm also going to jump on the disliking coffee bandwagon. :P Tea all the way! :D
All this talk of first favourited posts made me go back and look at some of the more "famous" posters' posting history. It made for a very entertaining endeavour. XD
Lastly, just want to wish everyone who is unwell or suffering hard times all the best. May your health return swiftly, and things look up soon. Have a good one, ya jokers. :)

I also dislike coffee. Makes it fun when they have me cover breaks at Starbucks.

Well, We seem to be off to a chipper Monday.
I survived another Production, (This time the Opera Die Fledermaus set in 70's LA. Yes, it was great.) So I guess I'll jump on the 'Happy Monday' bandwagon.
Well,... More like crawl after and climb onto with assistance. I'm tired.
Thank God for Coffee. (Yes, those Both get capitalized.) :)
Another round of well-wishes & congratulations to all who need/deserve them!
:D

Morning. *grumble*
I need coffee....unfortunately I am also on caffeine restriction. :(
Can't even have decaf...still too much caffeine. Actually it has rather a lot of caffeine. The name is very misleading. It's been a whole four months since I last had caffeine and I still every time I got to the grocery store just stand in the coffee aisle and smell the wonderful smell of coffee. I don't want it any less than I did before. Along with tea. There are days I would pretty much kill for a cup of green tea. Or a chocolate bar (providing it was gluten free...wheat allergy is a whole separate thing). But no. I no can haz. :(
But, hey, at least my balance is better and I don't have to keep one hand on the wall to walk down the hall without falling over...I keep trying to convince myself that this is worth giving up the caffeine for....

Did you mention that production before? I was a Dr. Falke several years ago :) It is a fun work.

Have you ever hurt your back doing nothing at all? This morning I bent over to check the time on my cell phone, which was on a table. That motion was accompanied by a telltale shooting pain in my lower back. WTF? I wasn't even lifting anything?
I had that while picking something up from the floor a few month ago, the pain went away when I pulled the trousers up after toilet use :-)
get well soon CH

first favorited post by me: OP of "let's flesh out savith she" (or however this terribly designed town was spelled)
first favorited in FaWtL: "bought ticket for Amon Amarth *bangs head*"

Dr. Phil said back pain is a symptom of turnip deficiency.
