Alright fellow EN Worlders, we are in the final week! You have until early morning next Wednesday--12:00 a.m. PST on October 1st--to get your entry posted to this thread! Given the prizes-to-contestants ratio at the moment, this could be you!

Yeah, I think you're right...the 2% stock drop looks more coincidental than anything.

Geez, I thought my friends were a picky lot! I have also given up on trying to find that Perfect FoodTM for my gaming group. Instead, I take a "here's what I'm cooking, bring whatever else you want" approach. Like 4th of July weekend, for example: I sent a text that went something like this...

Awesome, @Whizbang Dustyboots and @Steampunkette ! I've added your entries to the roster. This is really shaping up to be a great contest this year! Just a friendly reminder, the deadline for entry is 12:00 a.m. on 1 Oct 2025. That's right...at the stroke of midnight (Pacific Time Zone) on...

Agreed on all counts. I'm not an expert on this stuff. It's evident that something made them change their mind, and change it in a hurry, but we may never be able to say for sure if it was the boycott. Personally, I think Disney would need to be hard-pressed to admit to it. They'd try to...

Well, Disney is a publicly-traded company, so we know that Disney's stocks fell by 1.9% since they made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel. And we also know that 1.9% of Disney stock is worth $3.87 billion. We don't know if the Disney boycott was the reason their stocks fell...but evidently...

Yeah, that's fair. I suppose it could be worse; we are talking about a genre that gave us "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," "Boot Scoot Boogie," and "Truck Yeah." Dwight Yoakum's music is nowhere near the bottom of that barrel.

Roux is tricky as far as gluten-free goes. If you have a spice grinder, you can experiment with different GF grains to find the ones that you like the best. (Maybe start with grinding a quarter-cup of quinoa, buckwheat, or brown rice.) It might not thicken as well as wheat, but the flavor can...

I do love a good gumbo. I don't really have a recipe for it, per se, it's more like a rough set of guidelines. 1. Make a roux, as dark as you feel like. 2. Add the trinity. 3. Add whatever meat you have on hand. Or beans, in a pinch. 4. Add whatever broth you've got. 5. Add the spices...

Since a set of Pumpkin Spice-themed dice is in the top running for prizes, I started looking around online for a set of custom dice. And sure enough, Etsy has a few options that would definitely fit the theme! But ooof, that price tag... Tell you what: if we get more than 20 entries, I'll...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's me, trying to imitate Dwight Yokum's accent in that song. Poorly.

It's a long story, but it involves the early days of the Internet, the rise of online gaming, and the rise of online gaming jerks. The way I heard it explained is that when people were playing the first online first-person shooters (Wolfenstein, Doom, we're talking old-school here), there...

But I think I prefer this one.

Three years and still no love for Dwight Yokum?
