Epoxy Confetti

Throw it against the wall and see what sticks. In other words, this blog's a mess M/married/60 goddamnit Geologist/geographer with an accidental 30-year detour in military intelligence Back in school after retirement Landscape Architecture/Urban Forestry I sometimes built tiny models of bigger things. Born sci-fi, fantasy, and horror nerd. . Loved anime since the sixties. Peter Cushing was my first Doctor.

I got to thinking, who would have been the worst person to steal the ring from Frodo?

Frodo was in danger many times. Who could have taken the ring, had things gone differently? Quite a few of those enemies seeking the ring were loyal to Sauron and would simply it over to him, like the Ringwraiths, orcs, etc. But some enemies, and some friends, might claim it for their own. Started making a list.Gollum (anywhere but Mount Doom)

Smaug (claim it or eat it?)

Boromir (he was that close!)

Sarumon

Wormtongue

Shelob

The Balrog (!)

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

I think if any of the good guys took it and claimed it would be bad. Practically anyone at the Council of Elrond. Either the scenario Galadriel predicted and we’d have an evil queen or king; or they would try to use it against Sauron and lose it to him. I could see Arwen or Aragorn seizing it quickly when they realized the other was about to succumb to the ring’s power and put it on. Sacrifice themselves to save their loved one.

Who am I missing?

Learn to use a slide rule. When all electronics go away, it will be a valuable skill to be able to make large calculations rapidly.

I’m bored, but useful to have around. Take me on an adventure. Or at least invite me on a Pokémon GO raid.

A "salad" of radishes on the side would make this dish perfect.

[wanderrealms]

You could add mozzarella pearls to the radish salad. Soften the pepperiness of radishes a little.

[alamuts-lair-of-madness]

Do they sell mozzarella balls that small?

[wanderrealms]

Yeah, they're sold as mozzarella pearls. The idea is that you can throw them into a salad, instead of shredding a normal sized mozzarella ball.

Some stores have mozzarella in a tube shape and it's firmer. You can slice pieces and put them on pizza and they keep the shape better.

[alamuts-lair-of-madness]

Yup, balls and bricks are what I'm familiar with.

But yeah, more spheres for the sphere menu! xD

you may think misogyny is good because it is made up of miso, which is delicious, and gyny, which is woman. and girl miso sounds great. but 👆 it is not girl miso

[getbentdaily-deactivated2025122]

"Miso" is Greek for "hatred". "Gyny" is Greek for "woman" Misogyny literally means "hatred of women".

The word "misogyny" is always associated with the unnecessary hatred and abuse of women. No one ever thinks about this word in a positive light.

[muppetshow2026]

will you ever forgive me

[muppetshow2026]

jesus christ did i fucking kill them im sorry

[epoxyconfetti]

By the original logic, misogyny is bathwater, i.e. girl soup. Well, with seaweed. So.. mermaid soup?

Floating face down in a blank word document file, while not physically possible, is nevertheless a tangible authorial state.

[epoxyconfetti]

Some days the blank document is the size of a swimming pool, others it's th size of the Pacific.
