Cosmo can't talk... milking you for favorites

[Sara Marie]

So all of Cosmo's milk gathered from favorites is going into making ice cream ninjas? That's a really weird golem manual someone has gotten their hands on.

gary: I'm going to make the messageboards like a Starbucks barista.

Robot Chris: Gah!

Robot Chris: It's all different and I don't like it!

Excited commotion.

Erik: "What's happening?"

James: "Praying mantis!"

Stampede of enthusiastic editors and developers.

It wasn't that HUGE praying mantis that almost TPKed my adventuring group, was it?

[Joana]

Which reminds me of the time when I was a kid when my dad found some sort of egg sac in the backyard and brought it inside to see what would hatch out of it. My mom woke up one morning to two-hundred-some-odd baby praying mantises all over the kitchen.

In retrospect, he probably should have put it in a jar or something.

[Vic Wertz]

Erik (in meeting with WizKids to approve final paint samples for Shattered Star): Hee hee hee!

[James Sutter]

Erik: ...congenital disorder.
Sarah: *snort* hee hee hee!
Sutter: That doesn't mean what you think it means, Sarah.

Your flies would be nonexistent within a few months though, so there's that.

Here's a for-real photo I took of The Great Disruption.

[Sara Marie]

cosmo: You can... buy... food? Like not-prepared food?

blue chris: remember our talk about the magic that is the oven the other day?

cosmo: you have magic in there?

blue chris: Well, I have magic in there. *You* have dirty dishes.

[Cosmo]

Sara Marie: if you like it then you should have put a rune on it

[Sara Marie]

[Liz Courts]

Wes (to Sarah): "Robbing from you is not the same as robbing from Cosmo."

I was expecting something a bit more metaphorical, or at least related to Achaekek.

mark: Anyone know why the site is loading slowly for me?

[Sara Marie]

[ulgulanoth]

[Vic Wertz]

Crystal: Who's got a chicken to ride?

[Marthian]

I DO! Well, if your tiny or smaller, you can...

Actually, what size is chickens? I'm assuming small going off of Dodos, there's no stats for chickens :(

I'd say chickens are Tiny. Dodos were twice the size of wild turkeys, so Small fits them well.

Chicken to Ride was a little-known B-Side during the short phase when McCartney and Lennon were experimenting with snorting poultry seasoning.

And that agrees with the stats you guys put out for Dodos, whoo!

Apparently you have small wild turkeys. Ours are a bit...bigger. Saw a whole flock last year on Black Friday. Those suckers were all at least twice the size of a large chicken; two of them would have been a size medium creature. I even have heard a story of a guy who got torn up by one.

cosmo: random blathering.

phone rings

cosmo: Oh look, you guys are saved from a random Cosmo story by a ringing phone!
