What, like some sort of degenerate? Everyone knows that's a massive faux pas.

Why does only one group of animals per biome appear at a time?

They take turns viewing a bunch of lazy, drunk, bearded fat people hobble around like as if they are doing something.

Why do dwarves love socks so much? As far as I know, they don't jack off.

[Erils]

Why do dwarves love socks so much? As far as I know, they don't jack off.

Dwarves want to differentiate themselves from hobbits who, as everyone knows, have very hairy, sockless feet. They also get cold feet easily and die if they stay barefoot for over a month.
