Spoiler: Well, actually...
I DID almost blow up the kitchen on my first cooking attempt.

It was when I was 9, I think. I wanted to try cooking something so I grabbed a pan, cracked an egg, whisk it up with some salt and on to the pan it goes.

The thing is, I turned on the gas stovetop and somehow the gas didn't light up, so it ended up bursting gas out to the whole house. Luckily, my dad smelled the gas and came in to stop me. If he didn't come, I would have already killed myself.

The "Purchased a 300 pack of teabags and finished them in 2 months" identity belongs to one of Menalque, RadiantCowbells, or StrangerCoug. You must solve this identity before attempting to solve others!

ugh that didn't really help

scoug loves tea

if not, menalque

Posted: Sat Dec 14, 2019 4:48 pm
by KittyMo
StrangerCoug was not the extreme tea drinker.
Menalque, however, also did not drink 300 teabags' worth of tea within 2 months. You have unlocked the bonus Phone-a-Friend lifeline!!
By process of elimination, you have determined RadiantCowbells drank a lot of tea!

Since Phone-a-friend hasn't come up in the Reboot yet, let's review how it works. You may phone a scummer for help. Their role is to weigh in on any 2 identities. You're welcome to suggest which ones you'd most like help with, but what help they give is ultimately up to them. Anyone spectating (not a stranger) may /volunteer if they would like to. You can totally also proactively pick someone who does not volunteer, and I will go invite them to advise you!

Are you ok on Shadoweh's identity?

Shadoweh's is "put number of skittles they slept with on their application to be a skittle". 100%

And a reminder, I am pretty confident in Vi being the paper crane.

Ahaha. It lives at the zoo in Belfast with at least one other ostrich iirc. Maybe two, idr. In the moment of meeting it I was actually scared. It was following Faraday around/staring at him before and after the dancing and I'd never seen an animal do anything like that so I didn't know if it was being aggressive. (I mean it was in a fenced off area but it came pretty close to the fence.)

It looked kinda similar to the start of this clip but it seemed like it went on for way longer. And the swaying motion seemed more intense, maybe faster? Maybe the ostrich was bigger than this one?



It freaked me out less when we figured out afterward that it was a mating dance. In hindsight it's just funny.

I also drink a ton of tea, probably more than 300 bags/2 months, but I purchase my tea in boxes of 20 because I like to vary the flavours between pots.

I kind of want to know about this. Although the identity said nothing about
drinking
the tea...

(I also am known at my workplace for drinking a lot of tea but it's "only" two or three cups a day, partly because the chai I go through is best sweetened and dat sugar intake etc.)

i make a litre of tea with two teabags, and then when it's gone i make another litre of non-caffeinated tea (fruit infusions, herbal teas, roisboos) and so on for about 3-4 litres/day

Alright so first off, these are one of the closest things we have to dinosaurs atm and calling them a Giant Chicken is, well honestly pretty funny. But Still! XD

this was way back in high school when my GF and I were still figuring stuff out. She was always suggesting we do things and I was always too busy working or doing projects and whatnot. So anyway for our Biology class we managed to get a trip to African Lion Safari as a learning outing somehow. The teacher must have been pretty clever booking it jn hindsight because I don't think it had anything to do with the unit we were learning but it was perfect! The GF and I used itnas a date and held hands and I bought her lunch and a stuffed lion! :)

Well at one point she had had enough of my inability to, like, act on anything and kissed me! Iirc the kiss itself was meh but at the time it was amazing! And while we kissed I got distracted by this stupid bird flailing itself around in the cage we were at! I can only assume this guy thought my mating game was weeeak and decided to try and woo my girl! XD

We stopped and watched in disbelief, called it an idiot, and continued on our way. Stupid bird.

Yeah, that would have to be some pretty damn good tea for me to be drinking 300 bags worth in two months :P I very rarely drink tea, and I am picky about mine when I do.
