fun with loopholes

I have a friend who, like me, does not have “heart feels” when cooking. We need measurements. We need exact replicable steps. Cooking should be more like baking where if I follow instructions precisely I’ll have the same meal each time.

So when he asked his mom for her recipes he was vexed to find that she’d say one thing but use a lot more or less than the spice she’d said. Her approximated recipes were much less vibrant that the real food she made.

His solution: he weighed her spices before and after the meal while noting all the steps she took. Finally. A recipe that was true.

what if you’re giving birth to twins and it’s the end of daylights savings day and the older twin was born first but the second twin travels back in time and is born an hour before the first twin, would that be fucked up or what.

This is like one of those riddle-of-the-Sphinx loopholes, like “I can only be defeated by a younger brother who is first born of his family” and this clown rolls up like “BUDDY, HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU…”

Photograph of first pig to fly, 1909

The first historically recorded flight of a pig took place on at Leysdown in Kent (Great Britain) on November 4th, 1909. With this flight, the aristocratic British aviator made porcine aviation a reality. He fixed a wicker basket to a wing strut of his Voisin biplane and carefully strapped a pig into it. The basket had a hand written sign “I am the first pig to fly”. Then he took the bemused pig for a flight of about 3.7 miles from Shellbeach, the Short Brothers airfield at Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey.

Opening a Georgian restaurant that serves food from

  • The Caucasus
  • The American Southeast
  • Britain 1714-1830

I’m imagining a 3 course dinner from this restaurant.

The appetizer would be Khachapuri

Khachapuri (Georgian Cheese Bread)

The main dish would be deep-fried catfish with collard greens and cornbread on the side

And the dessert would be a show stopping and refreshing syllabub

this is professional influencer-level framing. this is the EXACT spot they needed to take this photograph to make it seem like the gävlebocken has not been decimated by birds.

the angles. the lighting. gävlebocken is about to start doing sponsored posts.

With full respect to the Professor, if I were to ever work a “subject cannot be killed by any living man” prophecy into one of my stories, I think I’d want to actually play with the ‘living’ part of the condition instead of ‘male’ or even ‘human.’ Imagine the drama if Bob Redshirt, beloved secondary character, looses an arrow at the villain, kicks the bucket himself while it’s in flight, and posthumously lands a perfect shot.

i love both equally

The other option of course is to place an entire army of dead men on the same battlefield, and then have them not intersect with prophecy dude at all.
