The Fez of Etymology

An audio-adventure series, parts of which still exist in the world. Tales of Master Smith and Helin, and of Goosey. Tales of Adolphus Brimstone and of the mild-mannered Mr. Bentley, of Tamburlaine, of Eve and of Darius Cantor (who must, of course, die)

The Fez of Etymology

...was an audio adventure thrillogy (that's like a quadrilogy but with only three parts).

It was made by Ben Swithen (contactable through this channel), Tom Hagley and occasionally Dan Bloor, and the company of friends.

Currently available portions include

The Fez of Etymology and Other Stories, an ebook of short adventures

The Masonic Zombie Brides, a half-hour audio adventure

Bandagongo, a half-hour audio adventure about cricket commentators retiring, post-apocalypse

Currently in the realms of mystery, but perhaps to someday return:

The Fez of Etymology, a 7-part submarine audio adventure

The Mundane Egg, a 6-part village/doomsday adventure

Darius Cantor Must Die, a 12-part fantasy audio epic

Tamburlaine, The Lion of Persia (Not a Real Lion), a stage-play performed at The Carriageworks in Leeds

Various Christmas flim-flam

If you enjoy The Fez of Etymology, you may enjoy many other things! It cannot be denied.

Since the sell by date wasn't for another 4 days I returned them. I was checking out at the store and I was like "i'm not sure you want to take them out of the bag" and he did and a passing manager was just like "That looks like a bomb, I'm just gonna take it to the back" and was off like a shot.

Okay but seriously, if you have a package of food like this or especially if you have a can that is bulging like this, it is literally full of poison, do not open it and absolutely positively do not eat it under any circumstances.

Any food packaging that is bulging has to be considered unsafe to eat. A lot of people who might be living on their own for the first time don't know what that looks like, and this is a really, really extreme example, but yeah if the top of a can has become slightly domed from internal pressure that's going to kill you, don't eat it.
