If these Jezebels you speak of are made with dark chocolate chips, where would one find such a thing...and how many goats must be offered to obtain them?

Can you do fast food in slow cooker?
Yes. It's called pulled pork. And it's usually 1.99/pound or less. Also, it fulfills the "dump BBQ sauce on it" requirement.
I hadn't known that pulled pork counts as fast food.

Naked and goats story?
Maybe no goats is a good policy...

Drejk, believe it or not, Nobody's Home makes really good homemade paczki. He just doesn't know that's what they are.

Also, is naked at the top of the thread a thing here? I thought that was only on FaWTL.
The no goats rule is because Whingey Wizzard has a peculiar obsession with goats which the rest of us are stolidly attempting to avoid trying to understand.

So, I Googled 'em, and I still don't know that I've ever made them.
But if you want, we can do another "deep fry day" -- the fryer's just sitting in the cabinet, so a couple gallons of peanut oil from Costco, some Pabst and beer-battered cod...

Yeah, you did, back at the old Trollhole, when I was pregnant with Teensy Valeros. Except you just called them doughnuts.
(They were round and had stuff inside them and were not ordinary doughnuts. Still don't remember? I do.)

Paczki (I dread to think how do you pronounce it) are suppsoed to have richer dough than doughnuts. Or so I read. I don't think I have eaten American doughnuts...

Pulled pork at my house is not fast food. Takes the better part of 10 hours.
These donut-paczki things sound like they would be good, but I don't think I can get my wife to sign off on the finances of a trip out there just to eat one or two of those. I should find a concert in the area at the same time...one that she wants to attend, I guess, would probably work better...

So, since this has become my de-facto forum on my alcoholism progress, I thought I'd use it for the "full news".
As those of you who followed my 289-day saga know, I combined my teetotalling with dieting, and managed to drop nearly 30 pounds over the course of 9-10 months, dropping from 201 pounds to 173 pounds, and getting lots of compliments about my new figure.
So of course, not only does alcohol have a lot of calories in it, but drinking makes it hard to say, "No," so over the last year I've re-gained 25 of those 30 pounds.
And now I've started my second battle again, and we'll see how it progresses.
At the moment, it's:
Days Sober: 37
Days to 155 lbs: 177
Of course, my doctor was pretty upset when she saw me at 173 and I told her I was planning on losing another 18 pounds, so we'll see where I actually bottom out. I see the doctor for my annual physical in September, and we'll have a discussion about when I should come in for a, "How much more should you lose?" conversation.
And being hungry sucks, but you kind of get used to it...

Well, my family were Chicago through and through, so the vowels were ridiculously flat... kinda like PAAAHch-kee. Which would have gotten one of my cousins a whack from my grandmother's cane, until she went deaf, and just assumed a caning was in order, but only threatened you with it.
But Nobody's pastry dough was pretty close to the bakery we used to go to at Easter.

If my memory serves me, a (PAAAHch-kee) is a form of hand pie usually containing meat and such, traditionally made for workers to take as traveling lunch.

Well, in the U.P. of Michigan, that's a pasty.
And if you want a good one outside of Michigan, go to Elko, Nevada.

Yes, there we go, that is the spelling, Pasty, though it it not pronounced (if I recall right) like the questionable intimate apparel of the same spelling.
The more you know (I wish I was close enough to get one, they sound good! My English half of my heritage seems to enjoy all sorts of things in pie form)
Only two foods Rochester, NY has given the world are white hots (actually all pork and delicious, much better than mass produced red hots) and the garbage plate (a terrifying plate made up of mac salad, two hot dogs white or red or two hamburger patties, home fries, ketchup, mustard, diced raw white onion, and hot sauce)

Sounds like a meal fit for your avatar.
It also sounds strangely compelling.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
lol, I have never figured out if my avatar picture is just got serious face, or has a tummy ache...
Garbage plates can be good, mostly the ingredients and care with which they are prepared has allot to do with whether or not the result is a horrid mess of flavors that looks like well..garbage can contents, or if it turns out tasty.
My favorite thing to do is to make one with stuff like bison burgers and red rice (rather than home fries) :)

Crapmonkeys! Nobody, how many random encounters per day/night should I plan for overland travel through the mountains? The party has a roughly three day journey ahead of them.

Crapmonkeys! Nobody, how many random encounters per day/night should I plan for overland travel through the mountains? The party has a roughly three day journey ahead of them.
I tend to find the encounter list for the area, then kind of fudge it based on how densely "populated" I think the area is: A place like the Cinderlands has a LOT of dangerous stuff, while the Varisian lowlands have very few "interesting" encounters.
So typically I set the encounter probability at somewhere around 20% during the day, and 30% at night. Then when I roll the encounter, if it's something that doesn't make any sense (such as will-o-wisps in broad daylight or a flock of carnivorous parrots attacking at 3 in the morning) I let it go.
It ensures there are maybe two or three encounters over the whole trip, varying between day and night. Not enough to make the group sick of combat, but enough that it's not just, 'You get there.'

You need to read more Christopher Moore. Because in one of his books, the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill become *vampire* parrots and *do*, in fact, attack people at all hours of the night.

To be fair, Tucan Sam kinda looks creepy already, as a vampire, he would be kinda awesome, his beak like one big fang!
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Does his beak also qualify for hypnotic pattern?
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
Since that's a question, "Yes, yes it does."
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
But the real question is, does the hypnotic beak work on creatures other than pre-teens with a love of lab made fruit flavors?
| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
I would suggest that it works on all undergrads.
Undergrads eat kiddie cereals with abandon. Therefore, it should also work on low-level magic users who are still madly trying to learn.
Bonus: For every hour of sleep lost, subtract 1 from Will save to negate effects.

While I agree with lisamarlene's assessment that it expands well beyond pre-teens, the limitation to "undergrads" is still insufficient. One of our cohorts on our ski/Tahoe trips considered Froot Loops and beer to be the "breakfast of champions", especially when hung over. And notice the very careful spelling of "Froot"; the manufacturers clearly do not want to imply that actual fruit was harmed in the manufacture of the cereal.
So while normal hypnotic patterns only affect a maximum of 18 HD of creatures, the vampire toucan's beak can affect all creatures under 25 years of age within a 60' radius.

Wow. The type of person who would voluntarily pour beer over Froot Loops probably shouldn't get a saving throw.
And since they're suggestible, offer them one of Beernorg's garbage plates and then buy them a ticket to the emoji movie.
