Baroness Lubinska who presided over the famous duel between Princess Pauline Metternich and the Countess Kielmannsegg in 1892, insisted that the duelists remove their clothing above their waists to avoid infection in the event that a sword pushed clothing into the wound it caused. Being a doctor, the baroness had seen many instances of septic infection in soldiers for this very reason throughout her years of medical training.

“The cause of the duel is reputed to be an argument over arrangements for the Vienna Musical and Theatrical Exhibition.” - I like these ladies.

I arrive at the duel 

sword: sharpened

sepsis: prevented

tits: out

James Stewart in Bell, Book and Candle (1958)

Draw your sword, pervert

A multiplayer game that you can play with your friends which has an option of "you the dog now", where everyone in the game can vote on which player should be a dog. If everyone (or a big enough majority) votes for the same person, their player character is going to be a dog for the next round. They still control their character and can communicate, but can't do most of the same tasks and actions as other players can.

The game has no in-built purpose for this mechanic. You get to agree what you use it for - whether it's a reward, agreeing on a goal that determines who gets to be the doggy next time, or a punishment along the lines of "Trevor I swear to god if you fuck this up we're going to fucking dog you."

Sound on 🐱

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

If we don’t buy it, they’ll lower the price, just like the 3DS. They make more money from 2 million people buying it at $60 than 1 million at $80

Don't even buy the console, don't let them think they can get away with this

I refuse to live in a world where a console cartridge costs eighty fucking dollars

Whoever wrote that Vanguard message did so with shaking hands, between sobs & swigs of bourbon straight from the bottle.

They're right, though. Now is exactly the wrong time to make dramatic investment moves. Everybody's shit is doing the same thing; unless you need your retirement money in the next twelve months or whatever, you're better off leaving it alone and waiting for the eventual correction. Like, this is not a comforting lie, this is good advice!

alright well it's cool you rejected your vengeance and all but if you're not gonna use it can I have it

I've no dog in this fight I just want to exact vengeance but don't wanna go through the whole backstory thing

throwback to when I was working at my desk with Cu Rùa on my shoulder and suddenly heard a loud and abrupt fart… I genuinely was so startled at the volume of it and thought it was my dog but she was nowhere to be found. I turned my head and there he was, tail pointed down near my ear… next to a large pile of shit

“what was he doing on your shoulder” all of the animals that I’ve ever owned have had an affinity for my neck and shoulders. the perfect perching spot

"what was he doing on your shoulder?"

Shitting, next question

Hey OP, I read this post to a friend, and now she feels like she cannot know peace until she can hear the sound of a scorpion fart. She's literally angrily ranting right now that she can't find any recordings. "All I want for my birthday is audio of a scorpion pooping!" she just said. Please if you can.

never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"

CHILDHOOD IS MARKED BY FEAR WITHOUT THE WORDS TO EXPLAIN IT

pinned forever in my heart

the context makes it even better

Scrolled past this agakn and just can't get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.
