Teaberry Extract is here! ICE CREAM IS COMING.

@zx3 - Have we shown "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaption" on DiS? If not, I may plan to use it as one of my emergency replacement DiS shows. :D

The beginnings of a colony now in the thousands. It starts with one ant, the queen, this is my Camponotus nicoborensis queen 2 years ago with her first workers. The first workers are called nanitics and smaller than all the workers that follow. They are the product of the fat & food in the queen’s body when she flies. (hence small size)

Imagine running a marathon, getting uh ‘married,’ building a house & giving birth to 3 kids all without eating anything! This queen will soon be 3 years old!

Thoughts Before Bed

Once I finished Tears of the Kingdom, I started watching some of the Zelda YouTube videos out there.

I saw some of the ones who are trying to figure out where Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild fit in the Zelda timeline do some serious backflips and jumps to get it all to fit in, and it still really doesn't. And there are others who claim that Tears of the Kingdom is Ocarina of Time retold.

There was a theory I had before Nintendo put out the official Zelda timeline back in the Skyward Sword days, that I've decided to go back to: The Zelda Story is another world's version of our "Sumerian Flood Myth." The story that turned into Nuh, Noah, Gilgamesh and others.

Like the Sumerian Flood Myth, it's been told and retold by different cultures second/third/fourthhand, has morphed into different stories, affected by the cultures telling the story, traditions getting mixed in and confused and integrated....

All of them (minus the direct sequels) are telling the story of "The Hero Who Saves The Princess From The Demon King" in various ways. Imagine a seafaring civilization taking the story and turning it into "The Wind Waker" or a Forest civilization giving us "Ocarina of Time." Skyward Sword being told by a sky civilization.

Tears of the Kingdom is another legend and story of "The Hero Who Saves The Princess From The Demon King" that's changed a million times over the centuries...but has the core idea of the original story.

At least until Nintendo gives us final word from on high. :)

"Am I the only one who remembers that Grimace from McDonald's is a sentient milkshake? And that he was once 'The Evil Grimace?' And there was a whole McDonaldland with Mayor McCheese and The Professor and Captain Crook?"

"Jenn. We're old."

"I was there at the dawn of the third age of Mankind...."

Removing the gender from my body via distillation, selling it to people that need a top-up on their genderfluid

Audience cheers after "Moms for Liberty" co-founder Tiffany Justice noted that a member had quoted Hitler in a newsletter.

"I stand with that mom," she bragged to applause.

Mastodon is amazing. I can post a joke here in Florida and an 82 y/o woman in Kuala Lumpur will laugh. I don’t know what the problem is with you other 1.6 million active users, though. 😖

[turns chair around, sits in it backwards, addresses camera] hey, human kids. you know, it's all well and good to listen to Tom Waits. Sure, we've all stashed a copy of "Swordfishtrombone" behind the toilet tank, there's no shame in admitting it. But if you find yourself identifying too closely with his music, you're headed down a dark path, amigo.

if you find yourself nodding, sighing and wistfully whispering "same" into your bourbon-stained pork-pie hat while listening to "Rain Dogs," it's time to seek help. remember, the first step is to stop eating cold beans out of a dead hobo's shoe down by the Cadillac graveyard off 34th and Calico, using your broken dreams as a spoon.
