Also from 2007 (before Blink aired) someone posted to 4chan a similar creepypasta that would become the first entry in the SCP Foundation.

I was curious, so I looked up this article. It's satire, but it's making fun of a tweet with the same sentiment.

I'd say a tamale is a dumpling.

Despite what crazy right wing pundits say, "Xmas" is Christian. Chi (Χ) is the first letter of "Christ" written in the Greek alphabet. (Χριστός)

The "Con" in both is from a Latin root meaning together.

The "test" in contest is from Latin testis, meaning "witness", from a root meaning "three" (as in, a third party).

The word test is from Latin testum meaning earthen pot, because metals could be tested for quality by melting them in such a pot.

Etymology is super interesting to me.

Whoa, is that the Ren Fest in Larkspur? I spent many summer days there when I lived in Colorado.

Or is there a standardized fake castle gate you can order premade?

I don't know if it's the "right" thing to do, if there's ever one right thing... But I usually offer something that validates their feelings, like "That really sucks," or "They sound like a jerk." Only if it's someone I know well and I can read what they're looking for, I might then comfort, offer advice, or talk about something to cheer them up.

Pretty much all of them except the first. They are generally different characters with the same name.

I prefer pre cracked egg for the convenience.

Weird that this gets announced within a week of Empire of the Undergrowth coming out of early access.

"It's a..." rolls dice "Pleasure to meet you!"

One option is to pickle them. Even without canning them, which is a whole process to itself, you can put pretty much any vegetables in water, salt, and vinegar and they'll preserve in the fridge for much longer.

Just search whatever vegetable you have plus "pickled" and you'll find recipes.

Edit: you can pickle fruits, too!

Good to know, thanks!
