While we’re introducing Canadian fries to the world, everyone should also learn about Newfie fries: https://www.therecord.com/things-to-do/getting-to-the-bottom-of-newfie-fries/article_5d089bb9-2330-5bc0-bfef-62c682497853.html

(Photos don’t do it justice.)

If Ruby’s guess near the end is right, the whole point of her being there, haunting her, making people run away, was to make specifically this one man run away in terror, and there’s no way whatever that was had anything to do with anyone else abandoning Ruby. She simply says something so terrifying that people run away, that’s it, it doesn’t matter what exactly, and it doesn’t even have to be the same thing for everyone.

Which makes me think that perhaps it’s like psychic paper: she could say anything (or even nothing), and the experience would be the most horrifying, disgusting, or terrifying thing to the listener, enough to drive them away from Ruby forever.

I have a theory that they were reinforcing, for the much younger crowd, that these were special babies who were very capable and independent in ways in which regular babies are not.

Sporrans are optional. It’s just a satchel that many people wear with their kilt to carry personal items, but it’s not essential, unless it’s part of a full uniform.

Duran Duran, one “r” for each word.

The adipose babies weren’t evil, though. Just the nanny and her methods.

It sounded like throat singing. It was kinda cool.

I have a feeling the episode was scripted and shot, then they decided on the introduction to catch us all up, hence the doubling-up. Could be wrong, though.

I have Raynaud’s, so a hearty “Fuck no” to that.

Intentional trolling. My mom is sharp and well aware of internet scams. (Well, she was 15ish years ago, when she did this. She’s slowed down a bit of late, but she’s careful to check with one of us to make sure things are on the up-and-up.) She had a blast messing with him.

My Silent Generation mom kept one of these guys on the phone for an hour before telling him she didn’t have a computer. Oh, the language he used afterwards!

If you DM a link to your post, I can check for you. (I’m at work right n9w, but I can check in about three hours or so.)

Hey, I worked at a place that had me working overtime, but they wanted to put my hours on different paycheques because they weren’t supposed to be letting me work overtime. Nice, huh?
