Here’s a non-moray take on the gag from Craig Swanson’s Perspicuity
Evil, be thou my good!
Cheese fries are neutral good, but poutine is chaotic evil? Those two dishes aren’t the same, of course, but they certainly seem to be at least adjacent, to me: Goopy messy fries with dairy.
Likewise, in actual implementation, curly fries and waffle fries usually seem to be fairly similar.
As silly alignment charts go, that’s one of the worse ones I’ve seen.
Poutine is Canadian.
The Defense rests.
Cheese is good, except for curds; gravy is evil. A stupid chart but easy to understand if one accepts the above flawed premise.
Too bad Odysseus never met Cassandra.
Cassandra: You shall all regret this so much and you won’t even know why.
Odysseus: Regret it how?
Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. When I prophesy, nobody believes me. It is my curse.
Odysseus: …I’m Nobody. Fill me in.
The name Dennis is derived from Dionysus.
Ergo, Denny’s is the domain of a god of chaos and revelry.

U was reading about the myth of Prometheus today
when the phrase, “New liver, same eagles” popped into my head, so I’m keeping that in mind for the next time somebody asks me how it’s going.
What’s the trope name for when someone finds out they are the Chosen One and is like “Uh, no thank you.”
That’s called Refusal of the Call. Usually followed by The Call Knows Where You Live
and You Can’t Fight Fate
and The Call is Trying to Contact you about your Destiny’s Extended Warranty.

OK, this one is epic. Almost literally.
That chart does not account for chili fries, but I suspect they are just too far off the scale, being far more evil and far more chaotic than poutine. Yet so good they lap the scale and become more lawful good than sweet potato fries.
Or Pastrami Chili Cheese Fries from The Hat, which have to be Chaotic Awesome.
Holy Cholesteroly!
My standing bet with my Debate Team was that if any 2 of them could finish an order, I’d pay for the team’s meal. I never even got close to having to pay out.
Are Jonathan Swift jokes in bad taste?
"It’s coming from…inside your soul!!"
Hey, that’s supposed to be “wine and revelry”.
Is somebody bad-mouthing my boy?? Ooooo, that’s a paddlin’.
You mean the William Tell Overture.
Are there guns in the William Tell Overture?
It’s Tchaikovsky 1812 overture that has cannons in it.
from wikipédia:
The 1812 Overture is scored for an orchestra that consists of the following:[6]
- Brass band: “Open” instrumentation consisting of “any extra brass instruments” available. In some indoor performances, the part may be played on an organ. Military or marching bands also play this part. Note: the brass band or its substitute is meant to play during the finale only.
- Woodwinds: 1 piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 1 cor anglais, 2 clarinets in B♭ and 2 bassoons
- Brass: 4 horns in F, 2 cornets in B♭, 2 trumpets in E♭, 3 trombones (2 tenor, 1 bass) and 1 tuba
- Percussion: timpani, orchestral bass drum, snare drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, carillon
- Strings: violins I & II, violas, cellos and double basses.
- Artillery: one battery of cannon, or even ceremonial field artillery.
