> [@aruvqan](#): > > Who’s week is it to keep the goat and squid? The goat has been skittish since someone posted something about Navadurgara in a Café Society thread on curry recipes. Last I heard from the squid, he’d taken a contract to predict the results of some German soccer playoffs. I was sure he’d be back by now. German bar patrons aren’t big fans of sashimi, are they? How about when they lose a bet? Oh, and _somebody_ was supposed to clean out the barrel after the last initiations. Just sayin’… _Honestly, the newbies these days just can’t be depended on for anything, seems like._ ---
