I was daydreaming again today and thought up a funny dialogue between two fantasy characters. It's a magical fantasy setting, and the conversation is between a mage and a regular ass guy:

"Hey you want to borrow some of my books?"
"No, I do not."
"Come'on man, you always have your head buried in those thick tomes."
"And I suppose you have anything better?"
"Yeah man, I got this one I just finished reading, about, like, this guy, and this girl, and there's a war, and it's kinda tragicomical. You'd like it."
"Look, I read books about magic and magical creatures. I don't indulge in FICTION!"

and that's it, my own stupid joke just made me crack up laughing.

That is pretty funny.

One of my friends transitioned a couple of years ago, and their one complaint is that they are now suffering male pattern baldness.

Made me chuckle.

I've seen pictures of the "Batman" pizza from Little Caesar's, which looks nothing like anything Batman related.

Someone today pointed out it's shaped like a menstrual pad.

[Frumple]

eh, so's bat's iconic symbol if you squint at it right, just sayin'

New research forces us to review the grandeur of medieval knights.
While we picture them as riding large horses, towering above the battlefield powerfully, new research by historians and archeaologists, published in the International Journal of Osteoarcheology show that the war horses they rode on were in fact ponies, with shoulder heights around 1.40m.
So, medieval knight were more like hobbits.

Everyone knows knights rode snails into battle

I can't get rid of the mental image of Lancelot braiding his pony's manes at my little round table

Only ma boy Gawain would be so chivalrous

He (or, well, squires or whatever) legit probably would have braided his horse's hair prior to battle, for what it's worth. That was apparently fairly common across the world, to keep the stuff from going loose or otherwise interfering mid combat. So basically every time you imagine a cavalry charge, remember their horses hair would have been immaculately braided or otherwise tied down

[King Zultan]

Sounds like the best situation would be to shave the horse before battle!

Gawain would braid his own horse's mane, then his host's.

Because he does it once, then he does it Gawain

I am told he Camelot

Let's Game It Out just did an episode on the game Mon Bazou.  In this game, the character's status bars are:

• Maple Syrup
• Poutine
• Energy
• Anxiety

Glorious!

Yess it's a particularly good episode.  I'm really glad NatureGirl shared the channel because it's truly holding up.

Even the ads for various gacha games are meta-hilarious because they read so deeply sarcastic.  I've seen it said that such companies only check the promotion, very little of the surrounding material, and that seems like what's going on here.
