> [@Angua](#): > > Its not the baking you have to worry about. Its mad insane people with writing icing, or marker pens, or people putting nails up their nose and setting FIRE to things. šŸ˜ƒ Just in case anyone isnā€™t sure: all of the above are actual events from previous LonDopes. Also pub quizzes, strange contortions involving chairs and walls, rugelach and Hot GOGA. Itā€™s practically reality television. ---

Confessor Knight, wasnā€™t it? And Garius, if you mean Iā€™m familiar with lazy-ass writers who ponce about moaning about their ā€œmuseā€, and writersā€™ block, and other such nonsense, when all they need to do is get _something_ down on paper so the actors can get on with the real work of making theatrical magic, then yes, yes I am. ---

Are we doing a Quiz again? Iā€™d really like to argue about My Little Pony once more while 14 pints up with someone iā€™ve just met. NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: Bring your drinking hats, if you havenā€™t already figured that out. ---

Right then, I propose an embargo on any socialising with **Garius** till he completes his various projects. **Rekka** , Iā€™m including you in that - itā€™s for the greater good. ---
