So that makes Skald an anal-abolution?
Well, here’s the thing: the area north of Rome where the Etruscans “used to” live is called Tuscany. ETruscan. They thinkl they’re clever, you see.
And the thing about “Tuscan” or Florentine cuisine? It’s focused on the use of spinach and olive oil.
That’s right. Popeye’s a stealth Etruscan.
Well…er, yes. Yes, one might say that.
Well, that’s sort of true. The Etruscans were definitely not exterminated…by the Romans.
Wow, I never saw that before. Into both Spinach and Olive Oyl…
Damn. Popeye IS an Etruscan.

Not necessarily. He could be an escapee from the Secret Etruscans Secret Weapons Program, where they take orphans with obvious mutations and do bizarre things to them, resulting in situational superpowers and weird mental issues.
Olive Oyl is an Etruscan agent charged with recovering Weapon P, using the implanted programming that makes him find “her” attractive.
They typically make me think “goddammit, I should’ve looked at who posted this before I clicked the link.”
A trolley is rolling down a track. If it continues, it will hit and kill an ethicist. You could throw a switch and move the trolley to another track where it would kill 5 ethicists. Do you throw the switch knowing that by doing so you’re saving the life of an ethicist?
What if you’re looking for work as an ethicist?
Skald is annoying sometimes. But he’s also our resident eccentric genius. More eccentric than genius most of the time, sure. But the entertainment value can be quite high at times.
Overall, I like having him around.
Is that ethical?
Depends on the situation.
After a pun like that, I need an analgesic.
I pit Skald for tempting innocent new posters into starting pit threads for no apparent reason.

You could always bring home thebacon.
Why? Butthurt?
It’s too hard to read.
