In which Corrin tries to be reassuring. 

Baby Clay Sibs!

I was asking my bro what the DnD equivalent of baseball would be and he texted back ‘whackbat’ and I am 10000% on board with that.

The Material World of Wes Anderson explores the meticulously designed objects from his 9 films. I tried to have a mix of obvious to obscure to make the guessing more fun. I’ll post up 3 from one film each day and have answers and an explanation for the previous day’s objects. As a refresher his flims in chronological order are: Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs.

Answers: Fantastic Mr. Fox - Fig.7: A whackbat from the fictitious cricket inspired game the kids play called ‘Whackbat’. Fig.8: The modified tubesock Jason Schwartzman’s character uses as a bandit mask. Fig.9: A ‘Red Remarkable’ apple from Mr. Bean’s farm, specifically grown for cider.

Tune in for more tomorrow!

☝️ Evidently, this flowchart -- which is a little like Wes Anderson's fictional game called 'Whackbat' -- lays out how educators at Texas Tech are expected to justify educating their students. If class material and discussion doesn't directly address a student getting a license or professional certification of some kind, then the school's administration probably won't allow it to be taught.

"Basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners, and a player at Whackbat. Center tagger lights a pine cone and chucks it over the basket and the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock. Then the twig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out and the umpire calls hotbox. Finally, you count up however many score-downs it adds up to and divide that by nine."
