      You know, if they: break into my house, eat my food, kill my livestock, and then when I get back they demand guest gifts, then they have violated the sacred laws of hospitality (ξενία) so badly that they deserve whatever they get!

      And he still would have gotten away with it if he hadn’t yelled his name as a taunt on the way out!

        Someone in my fantasy football group chat made a reference to the battle of Antietam today, between an 80’s Hulk Hogan gif and a Simpsons joke.

          Fantasy football is just D&D for jocks or sports geeks, and everyone is in denial of this fact.

            I’ve been a D&D geek since it was still Advanced D&D, so I’m well aware of the similarities.

            The fact that everyone is in denial of is that obsession with sports statistics is a socially acceptable Autistic Hyperfixation.

            …no? Fantasy Football has basis in the real world, with added game layers on top. D&D is entirely fictional.

    “Just a Jim looking for a Pam” is so fucking boring

    I’m just an Odysseus looking for a Circe.

    Yes, I know what I said.

    Everytime I think how hot this chick it, I remember the pictures from the MAGAt BBQ her family threw during the heart of the pandemic, and she becomes really unattractive again
