It’s me, Salm! With my famous Michael Jackson nose, and my weird putty cheek, and my one blown pupil, and my messed up iris. He looks like he’s making a skin suit and started with an eye mask.

goddammit Terry.
Twoflower drew himself up to his full height, which was hardly worth it.
‘I see no reason—’ he began, stiffly.
‘Yes, yes,’ said Bethan, sitting down glumly. ‘I know you don’t. Rincewind, all the shops have been smashed open. There was a whole bunch of people across the street helping themselves to musical instruments, can you believe that?’
‘Yeah,’ said Rincewind, picking up a knife and testing its blade thoughtfully. ‘Luters, I expect.’

The Octavo knew it.
'Many years ago we arranged for one of our number to hide in your head, because we could foresee a time coming when you would need to play a very important role.'
'Me? Why?'
'You run away a lot,' said one of the voices. ‘That is good. You are a survivor.'
'Survivor? I've nearly been killed dozens of times!'
'Exactly.’
'Oh.'

WHAT UP!!! We’re three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you are fat you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.

Horse d’oeuvres… goddammit Terry.
They had dined on horse meat, horse cheese, horse black pudding, horse d’oeuvres and a thin beer that Rincewind didn’t want to speculate about.

Steve-o played football for years: there’s a pretty good chance he does have significant brain damage, in addition to being a naturally terrible person.

Oh look, it’s another @nytimes.com tip from Stormfront.
Are you kidding me NYT?

“Mr. Cofnas was not an ideal messenger, given his interest in the supposed correlation between race and intellect. In a meritocracy, he wrote, ‘Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.’”

Or why they persist in platforming the worst of us?
A hack writer opines:

“It’s easy to see how Jason Arday held on to his University of Cambridge professorship until Wednesday, despite facing significant accusations of plagiarism and dishonesty for years. After all, his story fit quite neatly into certain culture war grooves.”

godDAMMIT Terry.
YES. MEN AND TROLLS HERE ON EVERY SHIFT, THEY WILL TELL YOU. DURING THE DAY I MUST SLAUGHTER, DRESS, QUARTER, JOINT AND BONE, AND AT NIGHT WITHOUT REST I MUST MAKE SAUSAGES AND BOIL UP THE LIVERS, HEARTS, TRIPES, KIDNEYS, AND CHITTERLING.

“That’s _awful_,” said Cheery.

The pencil blurred briefly.

… goddammit Terry.
“Quod Subigo Farinam,” said Vimes, and wrinkled his forehead. “‘Because’…‘farinaceous’ means to do with corn, or flour, doesn’t it?…oh, no…’Because I Knead The Dough’?”

My first was Dunmanifestin, home of the gods. My loudest (… so far) was getting blindsided by a doubled-down dad joke in a doubled-down footnote.
Fingers-Mazda, the first thief in the world, stole fire from the gods. But he was unable to fence it. It was too hot.*

* He got really burned on that deal.
