One of my favorite thing I’ve learned about animals studies is that you should avoid using colorful leg bands when you’re banding birds because you can accidentally completely skew the data because female birds prefer males with colorful bands

Apparently if you put a red band on a male red wing blackbird his harem size can double

So like you can completely frick up the natural reproduction of a group of birds by giving a guy a bracelet so stylish that females CANNOT resist him

Peppermint-Rum Panic Balls

This sweet holiday “experi-mint” is possibly unrepeatable!

Yield:  As many as you can squeeze out

Calories: Hell if I know. Probably a lot.

Ingredients:

1 Peppermint Bark recipe from a very flamboyant YouTuber

3 cups Bulk Barn white chocolate chips

1-2 tsp Club House artificial Rum flavouring (because the grocery store was out of Peppermint extract at Christmas.  Go figure.)

½ cup Crushed candy canes

A pinch of panic

A dash of improvisation

Method:

Watch a YouTube video that makes peppermint bark look way easy.  Be sure to giggle at the sexual innuendo re: candy canes.

Next, start making peppermint bark.  Follow the directions until it’s time to melt the white chocolate chips. This is where things will start to go very, very wrong.

In a double boiler, melt the white chocolate.  Once the white chocolate has melted, add the artificial rum flavor.  

Watch in horror as the silky melted chocolate turns into a mess of semi-solid gunk resembling cookie dough. Stir vigorously,  attempting in vain to melt the doughy mass.  It will just get worse.

Panic.

Remove from heat.  Place crushed candy cane in a shallow tray. Using gloves to protect your hands, quickly roll the white goo mass into balls, then roll the balls in the candy cane. Work fast so the chocosaster doesn’t cool before you finish. Try to keep the balls under 1 inch, as they are A Bit Much.

Chill (this applies to both you, and the “candy” you’ve created.)

Serve to unsuspecting friends as if it were a delicious and entirely deliberate festive treat.

I have no idea if this recipe would work a second time. Please let me know if you try it, and what kind of culinary catastrophe you unleash.

EDIT

Note from a day after: Do NOT kept them in the fridge, unless you enjoy dental work.

Okay, so I saw a cool crow meme, and wanted to see if there was a guide to making friends with one. This is how far I got before it autocompleted.

I've never looked this up before AND it happened on two different computers with two different search engines.

CONCLUSION: We ALL want to have birb fren, to the exclusion of all other kinds of fren.

Humanity has finally reached the stars and found out why no one had contacted us. The universe is in a sad state. As such, Doctors without Borders, Red Cross, and many othe charities go intergalactic.

SKELETONS

DM: You enter a 10 by 10 room, decorated with a lush bed. On the bed are two skeletons, furiously clacking their pelvises together. They turn to glower at you, all dry bones except for their distressingly moist and living tongues.

After a moment they return to their make-out session, french kissing with their slick pink tongues. The squishy smooching noises are horribly amplified by their empty skulls.

Roll save versus psychic damage.
