Edit For those interested: WoS Grand Cairo, SWS Auld Alliance, SWS Roslein, and WoS Dynamite (not received)

So the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good: The snuff is nice. I am new to it, so it took some getting used to, but the scents are nice. I wish I could smell them more, maybe I am doing something wrong?

The bad: They sent a wrong snuff. I ordered WoS Dynamite and sent Extra M instead. I reached out to them and am waiting for a reply.

The ugly: I have to figure how to store my 3 open tins now haha.

Wife bought me a solid white betta to replace the dude I had that passed away. He's slowing developing color which changes depending on the direction and angle he swims at. Morphs back and forth between blue, purple and pink.

The office named him Mr. Hiccups because my 1 year old daughter who "brought him to me" had the hiccups lol.

Pretty cool fish, my last guy was just a plain red crown tail.

I was like 5 years old in church Sunday school. We were taking turns reading out loud and a boy who had hearing problems was reading. He sounded a little different obviously. Mid his reading, I get a massive case of hiccups. They’re flying out of me, loud and proud. My friend beside me is cracking up, I’m trying desperately to keep them in. I held my hand over my mouth until it stopped. It was embarrassing.

After class Mrs. Linda, our teacher, asks to speak with me and the hearing-impaired kid. She starts railing me for laughing at him, telling me I’m a bully and that what I did was horrendous. I had no idea what she talking about and told her so. She said I was laughing at the kid. I said I had the hiccups, I was friends with that kid and I would never laugh at him. I haven’t done it before, why would I start now? She assures me she knows I was laughing and forced me to apologize. I started crying my eyes out but apologized so it would stop. She then went and told my Mom, and I got railed again for it after church because Mom didn’t believe me either.

I’m not fucking sorry because I didn’t fucking laugh. Fuck you Mrs. Linda for being a royal bitch.

Please help me find something funny to read that is not on every "top 100 funny books to read" list! I'm desperate. I somehow accidentally read 25 dour, tragic, serious books in a row this year and I need something a little lighter that won't also feel like a waste of time.

This incident took place about 10 years ago or so at my favorite pub next to my college alma mater. I had been going there about 3 years at the time and had gotten along extremely well with the staff. I'd stop almost every day after work to wind down (I work in the steel industry 4 minutes away).

This takes place on a Saturday, and unknown to me at first, the same exact day a huge tailgating extravaganza is going on near the stadium for a huge rivalry game that is to take place in the afternoon. I had just gotten off work and wandered in and found my favorite spot at the bar and as I sat, I started seeing more and more folks filter in. Older people, younger people, kids with parents, and of course college kids (I'm around 38 at the time). Most of the older people and families stayed away from the bar to order food before the big game at the tables (Their pizza was KILLER).

Most of the college kids started to gather around the bar... and gather... and gather... and gather. Within 30 minute the bar portion itself packed 3 to 4 people deep, all getting drinks and shots and whatever else they need. It is a madhouse so with only 1 bartender (Missy, yeah that's her name) and I think 1 bar back (R.D.) they are getting overwhelmed. Actual Photo of one end of the bar, looking to the other end, the dude in the red shirt is sitting where my favorite spot use to be. Sadly, that location is now closed so I'll let the name stay in the photo.

Then it happens. A full fresh beer and shot are shoved down in front of me by Missy and she says "Mr_Majorly. Dishes. Now." before she goes back to serving the mob of college football fanatics. I glance down to where the glasses are normally and it's empty nearly 100%. I guzzle some of the beer, slam down the shot, roll up my sleeves, and walk behind the bar to where the sinks are (In that photo, just to the right).

I'm pounding out these dishes through 3 different sinks. Suds and water are flying everywhere. And of course, that's when it starts. DFF is drunk football fan

DFF1: Can I get a beer and shot?

Me: Sorry, don't work here (as the water splashes in my face)

DFF2: Can I get some wings and a beer?

Me: Talk to Missy, I don't work here. (As I'm stacking clean glasses)

DFF3: Can I get a round of fireballs for friends?

Me: (Stacking 16 ounce wet glasses in a cooler to frost). Sorry, I don't work here.

DFF3: What? Yes you do.

Me: Nope, but I'm getting free drinks to do dishes.

DFF3:

Hello fellow repladies! I've been in this amazing community for a while and really love love love being here! However, one thing I have noticed recently is that there is bigger influx of people HARDCORE QC'ING, and I mean "there is one wonky stitch at the back, this factory is sh*t because it's instantly calloutable" sort of stuff. Personally, I don't think any of that is fair. There has also been an influx of people messaging sellers being racist, angry, rude, threatening them with all things under the sun with one, out of many terrible reasons, being because of "qUaLiTy iSsuEs" and I'm sick of it. I believe seeing one of the mods post screenshots of nasty, disgsuting messages to our lovely sellers on the daily OOTD thread finally got my anger to bubble over.

Anyhoo, here, I've compiled a real or rep group of photos, with credits to legitcheck app, legitgrails, brands blogger. I'll write which one is authentic or rep under each photo. This is to show the very small minority of y'all who are extreme QC'ing how similar the real and rep are (and it's just fun to look at how similar they are too for those who aren't) and actually how many are just not that calloutable at all. As many have also pointed out, we are buying REPLICA items. They are not from the brand directly and even at the most highest quality tier, reps will be at most probably 97% of the accuracy of an authentic item (with no quality issues ofcourse). If a high quality rep bag for 1/10th of the price isn't exactly the same as the authentic to a T, one should probably not be buying reps if they will act upon this and start harrassing our poor sellers.

Please note that these photos are not mine. I do also want to point out that I own several authentic Louis Vuitton items and they ALL have quality issues, whether it be a slightly wonky flap, sloppy stitching, or slight misalignment and light stamping. So I pinky promise that minor details are not the end of the world and they are not calloutable in the slightest unless you have a psycho with a magnifying glass going through every minor detail on your bag. I hope that if this were the case, you'd be more worried about someone SCARILY invading your privacy and being creepy, instead of a bag where one stitch is 0.00005mm off.

My name is Jean Bart, the Vichya Dominion's last cutting-edge battleship, who needn't rely on anyone but myself for strength. Yet… I've found myself utterly infatuated with my commander. Just the sight of him makes me weak. Being near him is like a drug. How did this happen? Now he wants me to be next secretary. My heart's racing. How long can I hide my feelings? Or… should I?

Phew. This one was a doozy to write. Long one, too. I think there were probably... 15 versions or so? Maybe more, maybe less. It's around there. There was about 10k words worth of notes and scrapped versions of the chapter. So many variations, but I finally landed on this. I just wanted to nail Jean’s character with her internal conflict and stress, and really take the reader for a ride. Not only that, but make sure I didn’t end up screwing myself later. But I think it was worth it. I won’t know if I screwed myself in the long-term until I get there, but this was a fun, albeit challenging chapter to write. And I hope it reads well too.

...Operation what?!

“Wait... h-hold on!” I stammered. “What the hell’s going on?”

“What do you think, silly?” Algerie said. “We’re going to get you a date!”

“N-Now?!” I beckoned.

"Of course,” Richelieu said, smiling. “Why not?"

“Better earlier than later too,” Dunkerque said. “Lest he make plans with someone else.”

What the...? Wha...? Wait! Everything’s moving too fast!

“H-How did you know he was gonna be here?!!” I barked.

Algerie grinned. “...because I told him to come.”

“What?! When did you—?”

...wait a minute...

“That’s why you were on your phone!” I said.

Algerie giggled. “Guilty as charged.”

“But Dunkerque and Richelieu were also... oh God... you three planned this all along, didn’t you!”

Algerie shrugged. “...maybe.”

“Well, in all fairness, it was rather spur-of-the-moment too,” Dunkerque said.

“Half and half,” Richelieu said. “All thanks to Algerie’s quick thinking.”

Algerie flipped her hair and smugly curtseyed.

I knew something was up!!!

“Richelieu, stay here and wait for our signal. Dunkerque and Jeanie are with me,” Algerie said. “All clear?”

Richelieu and Dunkerque nodded.

“Wait... what the hell—?”

“Alright, ladies! It’s showtime!” Algerie said, ignoring me.

“Hold on!” I pleaded. “Am I mute?!”

“I’ll get his attention,” Dunkerque said.

“W

I started my trip to Mississippi sitting cross-legged on the floor at LaGuardia.

It was late November, and the terminal was bustling. I sat with my back to the wall, stealing some electricity to charge an old phone. My ghostly assistant, “If,” perched on my shoulder. Weightless and silent, she watched the crowds move; her blank, empty eyes peered out from behind gossamer strings of white hair. You can never be too careful in these big airports, so I had one hand resting palm up on my knee. Waiting. Feeling. Just in case. Suddenly a bright, loud, happy peal of laughter rang out and If’s head snapped up. Together we watched a trio of women in beautiful, colorful saris swish by, animated and preoccupied. They made me smile; I’ve always loved saris, but so far, Father Scott’s never sent me anywhere out East. Another time, maybe. I can take the monsters in India, right?

I was headed out on a side job, to somewhere a little ways outside of Jackson, Mississippi. Some hot-headed realtor had a property he couldn’t sell, took a bet that was costing him money, and hired me to see if I could clean the house. Jackson’s not too far from home, so I squeezed the job in, figuring I’d be back to New Orleans by Christmas.

Our boarding call was announced; I unplugged, nodded my goodbye to If, and hefted my bag onto the shoulder she vacated. I have no idea how she gets around. I don’t usually ask. I just know she doesn’t like airplanes and she’ll be wherever I’m going. She floated lightly over a chair, her tattered sleeves fluttering, and she was gone.

The job itself was pretty straightforward on paper. Someone died and wouldn’t leave. They do that sometimes. Usually the ones who die mad. But we’ve been over this, right? Souls aren’t meant to be without bodies. They’re not supposed to stay here after their time’s up. The longer they do, the worse they feel. Anger, sadness, and longing take over, polluting and damaging the soul. Eventually, someone like me comes in to deal with the result.

As I went over my notes, I started to think I might not like my client. I try not to develop prejudices, because this is a strange business, you know? People don’t like having to hire me at all. I know this isn’t like pulling up a webpage and bringing in a roofer. There aren’t review sites for people in this line of work, and I’m not on Angie’s list. I get that this is abnormal. But people sometimes treat you badly even if they need you, and you can usually tell by the emails if th

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

Hello everyone! It is once again time for a way-too-long podcast about literally a shave competition (I can't make that any funnier than it is when plainly stated).

YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ne8eSarBV4g

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/stephen-joiner-803708745/rwetshaving-lather-games-2021-podcast-episode-2/s-pgSbMwKl183

(Sorry for the static in a couple places)

This week we had a PACKED house and set a new world record for number of hosts participating on a shaving podcast (suck it /u/heygerardshaves and /u/latherhog!!!). Your humble hosts for the week:

• /u/Phteven_j, basically inventor of Lather Games sliced bread
• /u/itchypooter, recording drunk in his closet with a cooler
• /u/whiskyey, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2lbmf90qpc
• /u/jeffm54321, the American /u/ruggerrigger
• /u/visceralwatch, the only one of us with a voice for radio
• /u/wyze0ne, who I imagine felt like this
• /u/adoreyou, the first ever female LG podcast host and certified hard-ass judge

In this episode, we start off with a run-down of statistics in the games so far (Days 1-4), which are as follows:

• 136 people participating
• 477 shaves in first 4 days, about 120 a day
• Each judge is judging 11-12 posts per day instead of 130 like last year
• Average judge score 2.74/5
• This week’s most generous judge: /u/Tonality
• This week’s harshest judge: /u/adoreyou
• Most used brands for first 4 days: Noble otter 12%, BAM 8%, Spearhead 7%

We talk about what it's like to use the new judge portal - basically constant sexual ecstasy, with an intuitive interface to boot. There were a couple hiccups with the website this week that I designed to test the judge's mettle and they came out unscathed.

We recapped our favorite posts from the first 4 days as follows:

Day 1:

• /u/Nonsenseofsight wrote original song
• /u/Yellow-blueberry is posting a drawing to go with his shave
• /u/Bvsapike Shaved on the side of the road on the way to work
• /u/Chocotacokid shaved with live cicadas on his chest - chest lather!
• /u/Walden shaved with bic razor because bic pens have springs in them
• /u/Redmosquitomm had to explain to his neighbor why he was shaving on back deck
• /u/Merikus recorded an 18 minute song
• /u/Youarebreakingthings used his garden hose for lather water and is drawing labels daily on vide

Order timeline

April 13 Inquired and paid

April 14 PSP sent. I GLed it right away but asked Aadi to wait because I might buy another bag and have them shipped together

April 15 Told Aadi to go ahead and ship

April 16 Asked Aadi for the tracking info and realized that Aadi sent the bag to my friend’s address which is half the world away! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I think it is my fault too not to confirm the mailing address right after the payment. Lesson learned. Aadi was trying to intercept the shipping

April 21 Aadi told me it could not be done. Offered to pay for the shipping back to me. I didn’t want to wait that long so I paid for another one without having to pay for the shipping.

April 22 PSP of the second bag sent. I GLed.

May 13 the bag arrived after one month since I ordered

Authentic

Quality -9.70/10

I wrote a reference on my authentic here I have mentioned in my post that I actually liked the Blue/Pink one but it was sold out everywhere. Once I saw TS Aadi’s post on her album I contacted her right away. Honestly I didn’t have high expectations on this factory because the price is not so high. Even when I got the PSPs I was still skeptical about how it is in real life when I see this bag in person. Boy it did surprise me how close this bag is to my authentic!

First the color of the bag is very very close to the authentic version. I have seen a WoC in this combination in person and the color of this bag is not far off. The leather is smooth, firm and sh

My own theory of what happens in Season 1 of Peppa Pig is contained at the bottom of this post :) Honestly think I hit the nail on the head. Seasons 2-7 coming at the end of this month.

Sorry for the delay by the way from my last post, I recently had to get a full-time job at Startbucks so this has been 100% in my free time. Hope you enjoy :)

Muddy puddles:

Peppa and George jump into puddles but must wear their boots.

Peppa stops George from jumping into the really big puddle to make sure it is safe first.He accidentally splashes George in the process. Sacrificing another’s happiness for his own self-satisfaction.

He then gaslights his own wrong doing by telling his brother that it is “Only Mud”.

They walk back into the house (Now Muddy) and they tell their dad that they have been playing in muddy puddles. Their dad insists that they wash up so that when mummy gets back: “We can all play in muddy puddles”.

They make note of saying how everyone made sure to always wear their rain boots when going down to jump in muddy puddles. They then all start jumping together until daddy pig falls down. Peppa, mom, and George all start laughing about how “Daddy fell down”, and they then proceed to do the same.

Stand-outs:

This all comes off very brainwashed. With the script giving clear directions of right v.s. Wrong to not just the pigs, but the audience too.

Peppa not feeling remorseful when getting George dirty.

Specifically mentioning that the mud is “Only Mud”

Gardening

Grandpa is planting seeds. Is a gardener.

Grandpa eats the apple that hit him on the head.

Explains that the seeds in one apple make many more seeds.

He hands a seed to Peppa, they plant it. Grandpa offers to water it for Peppa, but she insists on doing it.

Peppa is impatient and complains about the seed not growing yet.

The family drives away. Grandpa keeps watering the strawberry plant seed.

Peppa/George return the day that the strawberries have sprouted. Letting Grandpa do all the hard work. George is still playing with a green dinosaur.

George rejects Peppa’s attempted manipulation into growing a carrot. He instead plants his dinosaur and gleefully exclaims that he wants to plant a dinosaur tree! Except when he does his entire family rolls around on the ground laughing at him. Right in front of his face.

Stand-outs:

This is two episodes in a row that George gets negatively effected and dismissed by his family.

Not Very Well

Brown bear doctor. Only othe

Well, toucan play at that game.

Preface:

Coming off a win in Super Bowl LIV against the San Francisco 49ers, the elation of the fanbase was unimaginable. After 54 years of disappointment, heartbreak, and wasting the prime years of HOF talent, our team had finally reached the promise land, and they made it known that they weren’t going for a ring, they were going for rings. It looked as if the Chiefs were going to achieve that goal, going 14-2 in the regular season, and locking up the 1st round bye going into the playoffs. After beating out Cleveland and Buffalo to make it to the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes and our decimated offensive line faced against the buzzsaw known as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. [This play] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdBP6jDOkWY) truly encapsulates all of the awful qualities we demonstrated in the Super Bowl. A hobbled Mahomes was under constant duress throughout the game, being pressured on 52% of his snaps, compared to only 12% for Tom Brady. To add onto this, the Chiefs offensive supporting cast both literally and figuratively dropped the ball too many times throughout the game, and the defense was more interesting in jarring with the Buccaneers than actually playing defense en route to a 31-9 loss.

While losing a Super Bowl is always a heartbreak, even diehard Chiefs fans have to admit that this team had started to get an ego and were in desperate need of being humbled. Many of our flaws in the Super Bowl were prevalent in the regular season. Our offense looked anemic against the Falcons, our OL looks abysmal against the Dolphins, and our defense let the Raiders put up 40 points on us. I know it’s a cheesy cliché, but I genuinely think that losing this Super Bowl will help us in the long run. Everything that happened the night of February 7th 2021 put a fire under Brett Veach’s ass to make sure that a terrible display like that would never happen again, which resulted in massive swings being taken in the offseason. The 2021 season will be very interesting and formative for the next decade of the Chiefs franchise, as it will provide us with an insight into how the team handles adversity.

Offseason: The Chiefs entered the offseason in the red, projected to be over the cap by $9.2 million as of March 17th.

Several key contributors from the 2 Super Bowl appearances were lost in the offseason.

This is a list of ideas of what special abilities each character could have and how they try to cope with them.

Assumptions: I have not seen so many Peppa Pig episodes that I know what every character is like

Not all ideas are mine, but I have credited each other idea creator in the sections that their ideas apply

No character knows that any other character has special abilities

This is an in progress post, as not all characters have been analyzed, and each character not analyzed is marked

Peppa Pig: Sass (has not been analyzed)

George Pig: Hiccups (or his diaphragm)

George seems to have very loud and powerful hiccups. Normally, George can only throw the ball a few metres. However, in Season 1 Episode 11, he hiccups and yeets the ball so high and fast that on the return route it bonks Peppa in the head so hard that she could possibly have gotten a concussion (want the math? Please ask!). So his power seems to come from the diaphragm, which spasms to cause hiccups. In Season 1 Episode 16, he has the power to blow an alphorn not only loudly, but at the lowest partial possible on the particular alphorn, which would require more air power (air in general) than higher partials on it.

He doesn't seem to realize his power, as he seems surprised that the ball goes so high and says he's sorry after it hits her. He is also not afraid to blow the horn for his family and outdoors, which could be another sign that he doesn't know about his ability. George not being aware of his abilities, which are slightly harder to activate as they seem to involve the diaphragm in some way besides breathing normally, is probably why he doesn't feel the need to hide them as he sees most of the occurrences as accidents. The instances of him unknowingly using his abilities being considered coincidental accidents by him and others could be a way for him to subconsciously not lead others to believe that he has special abilities.

Mummy Pig: (has not been analyzed)

Daddy Pig: (has not been analyzed)

The Elephant Family as a Group: Radical Geometrical Inconsistence (that phrase sounds cool!) (Idea by user Bamboo_the_Plant as written by ladislaoXD25 )

The Elephant Family is the most picasso-like of the characters in drawing style, and therefore are the group in the middle/centre of the Peppa Pig geometry failure. The geometry inconsistence of Peppa Pig is probably what leads to the characters not having a front-facing profile, and is why the elephant family tends to gl

Morivey was wheeling herself down to Kendrick’s room, her leg was incredibly sore but she was elated.

She was only two days into it, but she knew the therapy for her leg would leave it aching for hours if yesterday was any indication. Therapy in the mornings, lunch, and then Morivey’s new favorite part of the day. It used to be when she could relax with her omnipad for a few hours before sleep, but the time she spent watching movies with Kendrick was so much more enjoyable.

She could talk about the movies with someone, something she had never been able to do before. They had watched what Kendrick called “The Original Trilogy” of Star Wars movies over the past two days. When he explained that the big plot twist of Luke’s father being the villain would have been spoiled had she watched them in order, she knew he was right. The reveal had made her gasp, earning a smirk from Kendrick.

Kendrick said we could start ‘The prequels’, but we had both agreed that a change of pace was in order. Morivey remembered asking him yesterday if he liked animated movies and series, and his response threw her off.

“Animation? Do you mean western stuff like Disney movies or eastern ‘animay’? I mean, I like both, but it's a broad question.” Kendrick had said.

She wasn’t quite sure of the difference, and when he said that most people differentiate between the two by the style of art and language spoken, she realized that her translation program made figuring it out on her own very difficult.

He asked if she had watched any, and he could figure out what she meant from there.

She had only tried watching a few, but one of the only ones that had kept her interest had been Dragon Ball Z. The action, outlandishness and eye candy had kept her entertained, and she didn’t have to think much while watching.

He explained that it was eastern and suggested a few shows and movies. Though he proposed something a little unexpected.

“We could start watching a series, but it would take a lot of time to get through even one or two. I think you would enjoy some of the Disney animated movies.”

Morivey had passed them over, as their recommended ages made them appear as children’s movies. After his insight into Star Wars proved

Klein's Niece POV:

Today, I greeted Mr.Fool~

I told Dakye about this, but he didn’t believe me. (TL note: The name sound like “Dakye” [达克耶], no script to see the actual Chinese word used for the name, so I can only guess. Seems like an alias used by Leonard)

I wasn’t lying to him though. ヽ(ಠ_ಠ) ノ

Ah!

That’s right!

At the time, why did I not tell him what Mr.Fool looked like?

He has......scribbling noise

He......has.....scribbling noise

Eh? The ink ran out? scribbling noise

Huh, it’s working again~ (^.^)

scribbling noise

Anyways, Dakye is a big dummy!

All he does is reciting weird poem lines.

The book he lent me last time, <The World’s World>, was not enjoyable to read in the slightest!

disappointed humpfh

Forget it! I will listen to auntie, from now on I will never bring this up with someone else again, that I’ve met Mr.Fool.

Today’s dinner, we are having Mr.Fool’s holy meal. (TL note: I know there’s words like Sacrament/Communion/Mass etc., but those are christian terms. I will just use holy meal for the sake of simplicity.)

That’s what father said: “This is a holy meal.”

But aren’t these type of food what we normally have in our family anyways?

Ummh......

Lamb boiled with soft tofu.

Beef soup.

Mashed potato.

Fried Tussock fish.

Stewed rhubarb.

giggles There’s also sweet ice tea!

Sweet ice tea taste so delicious~ ԅ(♡﹃♡ԅ)

Mmh......After we finished the holy meal, my father was once again busy discussing about curly baboons. He won’t play with me.

Uhm......That’s why, I am not telling him ~

~ that I had ice cream this morning!

Mmh, the little big brother who gifted me ice cream was really nice. (TL note: Basically, probably Will. She calls him “little big brother”, a Chinese term used for a boy/male older than you but within the same developmental stage as you. And often not used on people past 40 years old. It’s not used for family members or friends, only for neighbors and strangers that you have good impressions of)

Mmh~~~ hiccup

Mmh...I am really full.

Auntie said, if I pray to Mr.Fool before I go to sleep, there will be angels descending into my dream world and giving me good dreams.

Mmh, Mr.Fool is so great! I have decided to give this a try.

It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr.Fool.

Have a good night!

Martin Freeman, and Andy Serkis.

They also play roles in Lord of the Rings.

I guess that makes them the Tolkien white guys.

Last year, I read Mr Tregillis’ alternate history fantasy series The Alchemy Wars which was fun romp through a world where Dutch horologists discovered the secret to building clockwork automatons which made them the dominant power in the world while the French (with their metallurgical arts) fight a losing war against them.

Before Mr Tregillis wrote that, he wrote the Milkweed Triptych—a trio of books that can be best summed as an alternate history fantasy set in World War 2 where British warlocks who make Faustian contracts with Lovecraftian horrors square off against battery-powered psychic super-soldiers of the Third Reich. If that sounds appealing to you, you don’t really need to know much more before diving in.

However, if you need a bit of convincing: The story begins when a German Mengele-esque mad scientist adopted a bunch of children in the 1920’s to experiment on, to unlock what he believes to be the true potential of human capability and the few who survived form the Nazi’s secret corp of Übermenschen. They have a grab-bag of X-Men abilities: pyrokinesis, invisibility, the ability to phase through matter, and most interestingly, clairvoyance. One of them is Gretel, who is by far my favourite character in the trilogy. Mr Tregillis actually introduced Gretel in his short story What Doctor Gottlieb Saw (2010) which is still available on Tor.com, and it also serves as a very handy introduction to the Milkweed books as well. Gretel is a Romani orphan with the ability to see the future and potential timelines, and is able to nudge events to produce desired outcomes years or even decades later. It soon becomes obvious that her aims are her own, hidden in the black box of her mind. In spite of being functionally omniscient, she appears indifferent to her mistreatment and spends most of her time amusing herself by indulging in her eccentric interests. She is weird, surprisingly competent, and shunned by people who do not understand her. I would describe her as Luna Lovegood, if Luna is German. And a murderous sociopath.

On the other side is Raybould Marsh, a spy who serves the British side of the war (interestingly, one of the protagonists in Mr Tregillis’ Alchemy Wars is also a spy so maybe the author just likes tra

Recipe for Turnabout has a bit of an interesting story to it. The basic plot, themes, etc. were all actually created for JFA, but had to be cut due to a lack of space on the GBA cartridge in the original JP release. This isn’t a fact I learned until much later, but in hindsight it makes a lot of sense. The ‘Xin Eohp’ impostor plotline fits perfectly with the identity crisis theme of JFA, whereas it sticks out against the other cases of T&T, which all tend to focus on either the history and fate of the Fey clan or the curse of Dahlia Hawthorne. This is another case that makes me question why people ever believed in a 3rd case “curse”. With Big Top, even though I always liked it, I understood why it rubbed some people the wrong way. But people were really out here calling Recipe part of the curse? Pardun? This case is great! It has a unique hook with a funny twist, a great villain and a few excellent supporting characters, Maya, Mia, and Maggey in cute waitress uniforms, and a payoff for the Gumshoe and Maggey arc that has both characters at their absolute best in the original trilogy.

Let’s start with that hook. This time around, we’re not just solving a murder. We’re correcting an injustice. Our good friend Maggey from the last game found herself in another incident, and she once again turned to Phoenix Wright to save her. But something went terribly wrong. Turns out she got duped by a Chinese (or, rather, American? Brooklynese?) knockoff, and much like a woman at the mall buying fake Louis Vuitton bags made with asbestos and lead paint, her mistake nearly costs her her life. It’s up to the real deal Phoenix to appeal this case and get Maggey set free! Phoenix and Maya spend a lot of time searching for this “Xin Eohp” character, but when they meet some loud, spray-tanned-red asshole on a motor scooter with admittedly-similar hair, they’re shocked to find him calling himself Phoenix Wright. How could someone like that impersonate a relatively normal guy like Phoenix? Or anyone else, for that matter? (Spoiler Alert: He does indeed wind up impersonating someone else.) This is probably the part that most people get hung up on. How did Furio Tigre fool anyone with a cardboard badge and a cheap suit? Personally, I always found it funny, and very Ace Attorney, that a court could be fooled by this knockoff. And it makes some amount of sense, I mean the Judge is getting on in years and has only seen Phoenix in person, what, 11 times in his entire life? Whe

Tuesday

By the time Lucas pulled up a few buildings away from home, he was ready to have a shower and go to bed. Right up until he remembered his deal with Robbie and what would be waiting for him in the fridge and warming racks. Then he grew hungry.

He grabbed his lunch bag and umbrella from the back seat and collected his badge and sidearm from the glove compartment. Not seeing the point in strapping the latter back on, he rolled the shoulder straps around the holster and tucked it into his lunch bag. The badge was easy enough to clip back onto his belt.

Double checking he had everything, he climbed out of the car and locked it, then headed for his apartment stoop. All things told; it’d been a hell of a day. He let himself in the front door, walked up the single flight of stairs, and used his handprint to open the front door.

Gerry and Charlie were in the hallway going through boxes while Sam sat on some boxes close by, quietly observing.

“Hey, bro,” Charlie called first, though Sam grinned in greeting and gave him a four-fingered rolling wave. “How was your second day?”

“There’s forward motion on the case I’m on, so I’ll take it as a win.” His eyes dropped to her left ankle to her monitoring device. “No hiccups?”

Charlie followed his eyes. “Nothing Mr Kitikan couldn’t sort out. Apparently, the guys who came in to set it up only had the old floor layout and wanted to limit me to the living apartment instead of the whole floor. They also wanted me to test the boundary before I signed my life away, which Mr Kitikan said would count as a first strike against me.”

“If you really want to get technical about it, but no one ever does.”

“What do you mean?”

“Technically, it puts the horse before the cart, but no one back at the house is going to look at the timing of your signature and your first attempted breach and go, “Oh, she’s trying to escape before they’ve even left the building.” It’s more a convenience thing – that you sign all th

Hello again. It's me with a new chapter!

I was wondering how people would take to the last chapter, I'm happy it turned out the way it did. But now the story is really moving again! With the surface of Aaster being explored, Briolb being educated and the Terran forces being stretched thin. What will they do next!?

So thank you all for the awards and boats as well as sticking with the story. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

"Captain Michael Graeme." Fleet Admiral Ewart greeted, watching as the gentleman in question strolled towards his desk. "Any idea why I've called you here today?"

"Am I getting another new crewmate? Sir." Michael asked, giving a salute as he reached the desk. "Feels like I've been visiting this room more than I really should be."

"Hazards of being the only Captain with a stealth ship capable of fold jumps. But no, no new crewmate, sit down. We have some things to talk about." Ewart retorted, waving a hand to a familiar chair. "Tell me... What do you know of Nokis Number Eight?"

"Nothing, Sir. Some new kind of dance?" Michael answered.

Ewart shook his head with both a mild amusement and annoyance at the Captain's answer. "No. It's also reassuring you don't know who it is. It means Jack has kept quiet about her existence." He replied, pulling up a new folder and sliding it across the table for the Captain to study and give a cursory glance. "Over the past week, intelligence has been extracting key information from an enemy defector. She's an AI that has intimate knowledge of our true enemy. The Tlafner"

Michael's eyes widened at the new information, and he looked down at the folder sitting in front of him. "So is that why Jack has been missing for the last bit then?" He asked, looking up from the folder. "Vattitha has been worried about him, ya know."

"It is. And he'll be back on your ship in the next few hours or so." Ewart answered. "Nokis, the AI in question has had a great deal to say, much of which was concerning and requires immediate action
