Let's discuss Lore's ratings of some of the iconic D&D monsters:

My favorite comment is about the gelatinous cube: "It's genetically adapted to graph paper".

I never knew the plural to Githyanki is "whole bunch of githyanki"

You learn something new every day.

I love some of these lines:

"This is entirely mitigated by the fact that they look like angry, emaciated Smurfs."

"Their array of eyes is a veritable snack machine of doom, provided said snack machine was stocked with deadly magic rays. And Funyuns. Gotta have Funyuns."

"It would be refreshing like the breezes of summer to be able to say 'Hey! I just had my clavicle shattered by an aluminum tool shed!'"

Non-American here. What's a funyun?

Non-American here. What's a funyun?

They're an empty calorie snack food made from fried dehydrated and reconstituted onions but somehow oh so delicious.

 

[coyote6]

Funyons.

Non-American here. What's a funyun?

Not all Americans know, either.

I gotta go with: " "Githyanki" sounds like one of those midwestern lake names that means "the place those white people keep asking about" in Pawnee." Because I could totally believe that happening.

Man that is old.

I recommend his webcomic about basically the same thing.

Aha! We just call them Onion Rings.

Aha! We just call them Onion Rings.

In America, onion rings are real, fresh onions battered and deep fried. And I misspoke - apparently Funyuns are made primarily from corn then flavored and shaped to look like onion rings.
