More than ten years ago, when Teavana was still around, they had a Zingiver Ginger Rooibos tea. That stuff is amazing, and I still have a quarter-container I'm saving because I don't know where (or if) I'll ever find more.

There's a specialist tea shop here in Oz, called T2, that stock a range of flavoured rooibos including a very nice chai.

Copying that into my spellbook…

Is that some kind of obscure sushi? Or is it a baked good?

Sorry. You failed to copy the spell. You can try again at the next level.

And it's a great roll for ham and cheese sammy.

That's what I say! .... and yet, every single day, I learn that I am apparently TOO subtle.


True story- a long time ago (ish), I was commenting on another website. I wrote up a parody/homage of Shatner's famous SNL bit (about living in your basement, what have you done with your lives, etc. directed to Star Trek fans). It was almost word-for-word identical.

Anyway, after posting it I was busy for a few days, and I came back and saw that it had blown up. Over a thousand replies, and almost all of them were OUTRAGED. About one in every 50 was, "Um, it's the Shatner bit." But I was gobsmacked that people either didn't recognize it or didn't immediately understand it wasn't serious.

Life, man!

Well, it never helps that that the world is full of people who will try to distract you from the dagger with a smile. As such I can see people who weren't familiar with assuming you were just setting up to play the "I was just joking!" card. And that's not counting the people so outraged about the text that any subtext was gone, baby, gone.

Well, at least I can't say I don't know when I've slathered myself up with barbecue sauce.
