At a friend’s housewarming party last weekend, I was reminded of something that always irritated us when it occured in fantasy fiction. People would wind up making stupid mistakes because, long ago, someone lost the lore that would have told them they were about to screw up royally. Joel in particular could launch into an exquisite minutes-long rant about how upset he was at “Careless lore-losing M*********ERS!” without repeating a single profanity.
He also wouldn’t replace profanities with asterisks. I’m doing that because I don’t know where people are coming here from… For all I know, Disney has linked here and is preparing a lawsuit because someone saw the “Mickey Mouse Club” card in the One Thousand Blank White Cards database.
I’ll have to set that up on this server and link it in at some point… But where was I? Oh yes… Lore.
Here are some important pieces of lore that must never be lost!
The following drink is called a “Sunset” and it is very tasty:
1 measure Rum, 1 measure Amaretto, 1 measure Grand Marnier
- When prepared with Capt. Morgans Spiced Rum it is a “Tropical Sunset”
- If you add 1 measure of 7-up or a similar carbonated beverage it is a “Sunset With Stars”
- If you add ice, the Grand Marnier will become cloudy and it is a “Cloudy Sunset”
There are foods out there that form uneqal triangles of compliment! The most obvious of these is centered on chocolate.
Mint + Chocolate = Good
Peanut Butter + Chocolate = Good
Mint + Peanut Butter = Very Very Bad!
If you can think of any more triangles post them to the comments! They will be preserved here on our servers, backed up to tape and saved for future generations in the hope that this lore will never be lost…
