Another get to know me!

Thank you @4typercent for the tag! 🥰

Who was your first fictional crush?

I'm not really sure 🤔 I hade a bit of an obsession with Starlight express as a tween. So might have been Rusty? 🙈 I was 13 okay? The next thing I can come up with is Sebastian from Black Butler. But that was much later. * I'm not cringe, cringe is dead *

The vibe from these two are so different 😆

What is the first colour you think of when I tell you to think of a colour?

Blue

Which fanfiction emotionally scarred you and still makes you shudder to this day?

There is this author that has a lot of crazy crossovers. And a Vampire Hunter D x Harry Potter one has stuck in my head.

Faded and Vague

In this Harry is immortal but has memory problems and goes through cycles of being well, losing his memory, death and rebirth.

Another fic that will always haunt me is the magnum opus of the Kylo Ren x Hux part of star wars fandom.

Children, Wake Up

This monster of 600k words is more canon then canon for anyone that ship these two I think. If you ever wonderd how a ship with so little canon fodder got so popular, it was because we had our own canon 😝 Anyway a lot of pain and healing in this one.

I have more but going to stop because I already written so much 😆

And since I mentioned HP: Fuck JKR and fuck TERFs.

I'm coming to your house for dinner, non-negotiable, what are you making me?

I'm not a good cook, so something simple that most people like. You get tacos with veggie minced meat.

Do you prefer lions or kangaroos?

I don't know, what an odd question? Lions maybe, I like cats?

Which fictional villain do you brush past the glaringly obvious issue for because you really like them?

Olivia Octavius did nothing wrong 😤 , Lestat is a poor lost kitten, I would let Astarion murder people for enrichment. (Okay both Least and Astarion are more anti-hero but still) I could come up with a bunch more given time

What would accompany your picture in the Burn Book in Mean Girls?

Crybaby

How many days would you last in the universe of your favourite fandom?

Faerun/BG3: Depends on luck so much, as long as I'm far away from the protagonists I will be fine. Not sure exactly how I would earn my living, maybe I can be a servent for some rich family in Waterdeep 🤔

This has been in my drafts for so long, so now Im just posting it as it is. If you wanna do this consider yourself tagged! 💜

South Melbourne Market

A market patronised by both tourists and locals; this is certainly more upmarket. The usual fare of antipasti, nuts, fruits, veg, meats are all present. But add to that, little boutiques selling artworks, pottery, clothes and artisanal bread and chocolates. Famous pastry shop, Agathe, resides in this market. Be prepared for the snaking queues!

Your relatives and yourself, head over one Sunday for brunch. Yes, they drove all the way into town for the market. You have been here before, but its worth a revisit. Your first stop is a pie shop – you purchase a chicken and camembert pie. Laden with so much cheese, it truly befits its name. Problem is that is a bit too rich to eat the whole thing at one go. Luckily, you have your cousin who can polish off the remainders for you.

Next stop, OYSTERS! Pretty much every market would have a fishmonger selling them. Some markets more appealing than others. South Melbourne’s are appetising with a huge variety of oysters and a high table laden with sauces from Chipotle to Tabasco to homemade Thai chilli sauce. You procure a dozen Kangaroo Island’s oysters. They are on the smaller side but not as briny as others. You give a few sauces a try, but ultimately, you are a lemon and tabasco fan.

Your cousin’s girlfriend professes not to enjoy seafood very much. Her experience with it being overcooked and fishy. You and your cousin encourage her to give it a taste and she approves! She soon adventures to trying scallop sashimi as well. The scallops weren’t bad, but the oysters were definitely the highlight of the visit.

The meal is polished off with some borek which you aren’t much of a fan. But you never quite liked eating minced lamb…or red meat for that matter. You appreciate the bread with the thick Greek yoghurt though.

In between eating, you wander about the shops. You find some amusing trinkets, decide against queuing for a croissant at Agathe and turn down more food. You’re stuffed and ready to head to Dandenong Mountains for a bit of a walk. For those wondering, Dandenong Mountains is pretty much in the opposite direction. But that’s Australia for you, you must drive to really enjoy it. Thankfully, your cousin does!

Salad Recipes

Steak – A steak is a meat generally sliced across the muscle fibers, potentially including a bone. It is normally grilled, though can also be pan-fried. Steak can also be cooked in sauce, such as in steak and kidney pie, or minced and formed into patties, such as hamburgers.Besides cattle, steaks are also often cut from other animals, including bison, camel, goat, horse, kangaroo, sheep, ostrich, pigs, reindeer, turkey, deer, and zebu, as well as various types of fish, especially salmon and large fish such as swordfish, shark, and marlin. For some meats, such as pork, lamb and mutton, chevon, and veal, these cuts are often referred to as chops. Some cured meat, such as gammon, is commonly served as steak.Grilled portobello mushroom may be called mushroom steak, and similarly for other vegetarian dishes. Imitation steak is a food product that is formed into a steak shape from various pieces of meat. Grilled fruits such as watermelon have been used as vegetarian steak alternatives.Exceptions, in which the meat is sliced parallel to the fibers, include the skirt steak cut from the plate, the flank steak cut from the abdominal muscles, and the silverfinger steak cut from the loin and including three rib bones. In a larger sense, fish steaks, ground meat steaks, pork steak, and many more varieties of steak are known.

American – American(s) may refer to:

Arugula – Rocket (British English) or arugula (American English) (Eruca vesicaria; syns. Eruca sativa Mill., E. vesicaria subsp. sativa (Miller) Thell., Brassica eruca L.) is an edible annual plant in the family Brassicaceae used as a leaf vegetable for its fresh, tart, bitter, and peppery flavor. Other common names include garden rocket (in Britain, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, and New Zealand), and eruca. It is also called “ruchetta”, “rucola”, “rucoli”, “rugula”, “colewort”, and “roquette”. Eruca sativa, which is widely popular as a salad vegetable, is a species of Eruca native to the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal in the west to Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey in the east.

Beef – Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle.In prehistoric times, humans hunted aurochs and later domesticated them. Since then, numerous breeds of cattle have been bred specifically for the quality or quantity of their meat. Today, beef is the third most widely consumed meat in the world, after pork and poultry. As of 2018, the United States, Brazil, and China were the largest producers of beef.Beef can be prepared in various ways; cuts are often used for steak, which can be cooked to varying degrees of doneness, while trimmings are often ground or minced, as found in most hamburgers. Beef contains protein, iron, and vitamin B12. Along with other kinds of red meat, high consumption is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer and coronary heart disease, especially when processed. Beef has a high environmental impact, being a primary driver of deforestation with the highest greenhouse gas emissions of any agricultural product.

Fruit – In botany, a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants that is formed from the ovary after flowering.Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; in fact, humans and many animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world’s agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.In common language usage, “fruit” normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures (or produce) of plants that typically are sweet or sour and edible in the raw state, such as apples, bananas, grapes, lemons, oranges, and strawberries. In botanical usage, the term “fruit” also includes many structures that are not commonly called “fruits”, such as nuts, bean pods, corn kernels, tomatoes, and wheat grains.

Lemon – The lemon (Citrus limon) is a species of small evergreen tree in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, native to Asia, primarily Northeast India (Assam), Northern Myanmar or China.The tree’s ellipsoidal yellow fruit is used for culinary and non-culinary purposes throughout the world, primarily for its juice, which has both culinary and cleaning uses. The pulp and rind are also used in cooking and baking. The juice of the lemon is about 5% to 6% citric acid, with a pH of around 2.2, giving it a sour taste. The distinctive sour taste of lemon juice makes it a key ingredient in drinks and foods such as lemonade and lemon meringue pie.

Main Dish

Lunch – Lunch is a meal eaten around midday. During the 20th century, the meaning gradually narrowed to a meal eaten midday. Lunch is commonly the second meal of the day, after breakfast. The meal varies in size depending on the culture, and significant variations exist in different areas of the world.

what do you feed the cat goblins? O:

They get a rotation of dry foods with the occasional cat snack or cheap wet food (equivalent of cat junk food). Last night they got some of Pluto’s kangaroo mince which they LOVED but now one of them is leaving vomit patches around the house lol

Orzoga's tripe trifle pocket

This recipe is dedicated to my cat Alien, who passed away on 5th February. Those of you who have followed me from the beginning know that Alien is more than a therapy cat, he was my son and I am utterly heartbroken.

On his first birthday I was still a vegetarian, but as a sphynx he needed a special diet of raw meat. While this is an ode to the original (plain chicken cupcakes), I hope that your carnivorous pets love this treat as much as I love Alien. ~Tal

You will need:

6 chicken hearts, halved

20g beef mince (or kangaroo for the Aussies)

10g chicken mince

5g beef liver, blended

1 egg, beaten

1 tbsp tinned tuna in water

Method:

Mix together the minced meats with the egg until smooth. Shape into a flat patty, and fill with tuna, liver, and chicken hearts.

Pack the remaining mince mix over the filling firmly, and serve raw or lightly baked and cooled.

If you really want to make your pet's day, go ahead and sprinkle some of their favourite treats on as decoration!

Xmas down under

@acepurrmazine said to @ask-drferox: What does your Christmas look like? This ask is coming from a northern hemisphere Canadian gal. It's very cold right now!

Certainly nothing like a ‘White Christmas’ - there’s never going to be any snow down here (though some places will unfortunately have ash), but the grass is now so dead it’s a pale golden color.

Nevertheless, there will frequently be decorations featuring snow and dubiously impermeable snowmen who never melt despite the fact that the rest of Australia is quietly melting.

Only a madman would attempt to cook all of the traditional Xmas fare for the day, that’s all winter food and I don’t see why you’d bother. We might cook a ham or turkey on a cooler day leading up to Xmas and have it cold on the day, and prawns or pavlova frequently feature on the menu. There’s lots of fruit in season at this time of year, so why not have a proper fruity pavlova instead of those weird fruit mince pies (pies in Australia are for meat and veg) or godawful plumb pudding.

Travel over the Xmas period is unfortunate, as it’s frequently hot enough that the car seats will burn your skin, and you could seriously injure somebody with a hot seatbelt buckle. Tinsel is blinding in the bright sun.

Consequently, Xmas Breakfast is sometimes a thing, before the day gets too hot. We’ll usually do a breakfast with one family, and a late lunch or early dinner with the other. We often don’t really bother with a proper sit-down meal either, but more of a ‘grab a plate and sit wherever you like’ sort of deal.

Despite the weather, somebody always puts up Xmas lights and there’s usually a vague attempt to use the ones that look like snow and icicles in a mockery of our weather. There is also usually Xmas versions of our wildlife.

We do have a bunch of carols that have been Aussie’d up to our tastes including Six White Boomers - where Santa Claws ditches the fur coat for boardies and thongs, gives the reindeer a break and hitches up six white kangaroos to pull the sleigh. You don’t really get carolers coming to your door or singing in the streets - too hot for that and the sun stays up too late. There is usually an organized ‘carols by candlelight’, which may be the national televised one, or a smaller one at the local schools.

My family treats it as a fairly low-key affair. There’s food, family catch ups, stay cool stay safe and go home.

It doesn’t really look like the northers hemisphere Xmas you see on tv at all. And of course there is the ever present threat of bushfires, so some days are total fire ban days and you can’t really cook or risk travel.

A Guide: Raw Feeding for Dogs

Don’t have time to make BARF? Not sold on it? If you want to know what dry foods are best check this out.

What’s on the menu? BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Food). This recipe is based off of Dr. Ian Billinghurst’s own recipe provided in his book Give Your Dog a Bone. Great read, would recommend.

However, there are a couple ingredients he discusses which have been recently proven as poor dietry choices for dogs. For example, he speaks of the inclusion of milk and garlic which have been discovered, through scientific study, to make dogs quite ill. Therefore the recipe I have written below excludes any ingredients I have found research on that are detrimental to your dog’s health.

BARF is essentially everything you would find in a grain-free dry dog food, but fresh!

BARF = 50% green mix + 50% meat (30% mince + 20% offal)!

DAILY INTAKE = 60% BARF + 40% meaty bone

I DO NOT APPROVE of the Canine Ancestral Diet or Prey Model diet, which is 80% meat. I have a seperate blog post discussing why (click here to find out more)!

EVERYTHING YOU MAKE MUST BE BLENDED TOGETHER INTO A CONSOLIDATED MUSH! Your dog has to eat everything, you must not give it the choice to pick certain things out of their bowl, it all has to go in their tummy! This is how we get to deficiencies!

I will post a seperate description of my exact routine, and how I measure out everything my girl needs as an example so you have something to compare to.

DISCLAIMER: If your vet has told you that your pet MUST eat a prescription diet due to health condition/allergy, please listen to them. Every health issue has causes and triggers, there are many, and I cannot possibly cover all of them in this post. Does this mean there aren't raw options for dogs with health issues or allegeries? No. There certainly are. For example, if your dog is allergic to wheat they can go on a wheat-free dry food OR BARF. But I cannot be responsible for your failings in proper research. SO, this means that if you have a dog with congenital issues, like kidney problems, please research into what that means before going against a prescription dry or wet food diet.

Appropriate vegetables include:

- Silver beet

- Bok choy

- Celery

- Carrots

- Sugar beet

Appropriate fruits include:

- Apples

- Oranges

- Blueberries

- Pears

REMINDER: you absolutely MUST vitamise fruits and vegetables. Your dog does not have molars like that of a horse for example, they cannot grind fibre, they use their molars for snapping large food items into smaller chunks. Herbivores chew for a reason. Plant cells are surrounded by a cellulose, and most guts do not have the enzymes required to dissolve cell walls, hence chewing. DOGS ALSO CANNOT DIGEST CELLULOSE, and they do not have the mechanics required to break down plant matter into a digestible form. I learned the function of teeth during my studies into paleontology, where dental analysis is vital. (1)

SUPPLEMENTS: TO BE BLENDED INTO YOUR BARF MIX

the listed supplements contain the vitamins and omegas your dog needs to thrive. These vitamins already naturally exist in the vegatables and meats listed. HOWEVER, if your dog is not eating some kind of fish every day for example, then they need to be digesting at least flaxseed oil to make up for this. This is just one example. It is important to fill in any possible gaps, and these supplements make sure there aren’t any ;)

If you are feeding your dog fish oil you MUST also feed vitamin E oil, the dog’s body will use up stores of Vitamin E to process fish oil which oxidises very easily! If you are using one of the below supplements, you do not need to use fish oil. If you are using a supplement like megaderm or Omega blend, follow the directions on the bottle! So, this means don’t go adding it when you are making BARF, add upon feeding it to your dog.

SUPPLEMENTS INCLUDE:

- Megaderm (CONTAINS: vitamin B7, B6, A, E, omega 6&3) dosage instructions on bottle (can be bought on PetCircle)

- Vets All Natural Omega Blend (CONTAINS: flaxseed oil (omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids), shark liver oil (omega-3 and vitamin A), sunflower oil (omega-6) and wheat germ oil (omega-3)) (can be bought on PetCircle)

- just straight flaxseed oil (human-grade is the same stuff) 2 or 3 desert spoons

OTHER SUPPLEMENTS:

- Kelp powder (2-3 tsp) (contains: 60 different minerals and vitamins and 21 amino acids)

- Green tripe (contains: probiotics, essential fatty acids and digestive enzymes)

- Sardines (great for coat health)

- Tongue (fatty, good for active dogs)

- Green lipped muscle (aimed towards joint health, good for large breeds)

- Liver (contains vitamin A, B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, essential fatty acids) 2 tblsp per day is recommended amount for medium dogs (I buy a pack of chicken livers (500g) and chuck it into the barf mix. This works out to be 17g perday)

DO NOT OVER FEED FATTY ACID SUPPLEMENTATION, keep to the recommended dose! Large quantities can cause Seborrhea oleosa (bad dandruff). It is possible to have too much of a good thing.

It is really important you do not overdose on any supplement. For example, glucosamine is great for old joints but it is also rated a top poison for dogs because of its potential for overdosing. (2)

WHAT MEAT AND ORGANS ARE BEST?

MEAT SHOULD NOT BE COOKED when fed to dogs. This decreases protein digestability and destroys essential amino acids such as lysine and methionine. That being said, meat is NOT a complete food, it is deficient in a lot of vitamins dogs need! So veggies are still a must.

Mince is great, but if you can find mince with ground bone included that would be even better. If you are living in Melbourne, The Saltiest Dog (in Thornbury) is a great store to visit to purchase such a thing. Try to stay away from ‘pet meats’, like those sold in Woolworths or Coles. They contain harmful preservatives (3). The cleaner/more human grade the better. Research into local raw food stores around you and ask about the meat they get in/what if any preservatives are in their meat.

Kangaroo is an environmentally friendly choice! They do not rely on the production of grain to survive, and they are indigenous to the land (their feet don’t compact soil and turn it infertile). It is the most humane way of harvesting red meat if you think about their lives up until the point of death.

The leaner the meat the better! Kangaroo is very lean! Turkey is another great option, but if you are afraid of salmonella, stay away from poultry. Variability of protein is not as important as what parts of the body you are feeding your dog. They need muscle, bone, and offal (tongue, heart, liver, etc.)!

I generally go by: 30% mince+bone & 20% offal.

BONES:

NEVER FEED COOKED BONES! They will splinter and cause internal injury.

Is it dangerous to feed raw bones? NO!

It is imperitive in the BARF diet that your dog is getting some kind of whole bone to eat EVERY DAY. But don’t be silly about it, think about your dog’s size. If you have a mini poodle, you should be giving it chicken necks, not beef weight bearing bones. The bones you give should be soft enough so that they don’t chip your dog’s teeth. This also means NO weight bearing bones till the dog is over 6 months old.

I have talked to customers at Petbarn who just happen to have silly dogs who won’t chew bones at all, and instead swallow them whole. If this is the case, please stick to turkey/duck/chicken necks. These are harder to choke on beause the bones are so tiny. Once again, if you fear potential bacteria or worm risks, freeze your meat before feeding (this will kill a lot of what you are scared of). DO NOT GIVE YOUR DOG FROZEN BONES, they will chip a tooth.

Bones act like fibre. They help everything move along in their intestines. They also contain vitamins and proteins they need. You can learn more about bone benefits in Dr. Ian Billinghurst’s book Give Your Dog a Bone.

I give my dogs a bone of some description every morning. Generally, it is a chicken carcass and once a week they get a roo rib or beef vertebrae (you can buy a bag of 'broth bones' from Woolworths which are great) to really get their teeth into.

It is really important that your dog is chewing on something every day. Whether it be a bone or a Kong/dental toy. It is imperitive for mental and dental health. The action of chewing for a dog is the equivelant of a human doing a sudoku or crossword.

HOW MUCH TO FEED:

This model is based off of the Raw&Fresh model which you can find on their website (https://rawandfresh.com.au/collections/treats), this also happens to be where I buy my bones from.

Essentially, you pick whether to feed 2-5% based on your dogs age and activity level. For example, senior dogs need to be eating more protein and fat because they lose muscle mass faster. A dog who has a high activity level needs more energy and a dog who is overweight should be fed less.

Generally, they should be getting 2-3%.

Whatever you decide on, this should be split into two meals. You'll find that two meals per day reduces their scavenging behaviour. I tend to feed the bone proportion in the morning and the patty mix at night.

The key to feeding your dog a raw diet is to WATCH. Watch your dog's weight. It is as simple as that. Watch how they put on weight, if they are becoming too skinny or overweight. Watch and adjust accordingly.

KEEP THIS FORUMLA IN MIND:

BARF = 50% green mix + 50% meat (30% mince + 20% offal)!

DAILY INTAKE = 60% BARF + 40% meaty bone

FEEDING LARGE BREEDS:

- BARF = time and money. Sometimes it can be unrealistic when you have a large breed.

- It can be a lot preparing a batch of food for a large breed, which can potentially be up to 2kg per day depending on how big the dog is. Ideally you would want to be making a batch that lasts the month, which we can individually pack and freeze. But with larger breeds that can get difficult when you are busy or you have a tiny freezer.

- Luckily their daily intake is not 100% BARF

- My GSD, Juni, requires 600g per day as a 30kg dog with a medium activity level. That means I'd need to make 18kg of BARF to last her a month. Yikes.

- I have found two ways around this:

- First of all, 600g is her daily intake, which means a bit of that (around 250g) can be meaty bone.

- I also cut some of her food with Ziwi Peak. This is an air-dried (NOT BAKED) dog food. Once the bone has been eaten, that leaves ~350g left to go.

- Her weight requires 350g of Ziwi Peak per day according to their feeding guide. Therefore, she gets 150g of Ziwi Peak and 150g of BARF

- I increase her BARF intake depending on the bone she gets

- The end result is I only have to make 4.6kg for the month if my life is turning out to be hectic and busy. Not to mention freezer space being an issue.

- When I find I have more time, this increases to 9kg and I don't need to feed Ziwi Peak at all.

Hi! What is the funniest thing you’ve read in Flake’s book? ❤️

I haven't read it all yet and I've probably posted most of these but...1) Flake running through the forests screaming Stalin! Stalin! (He was trying to catch an escapee dog called Stalin.2) Flake describing patiently waiting for an hour in line in a music store to buy something while Till goes Fuck this shit, grabs whatever instrument or piece of equipment he wants and runs out of the store without paying.3) Till putting a sausage in his pants and getting so excited by Oli taking it in his mouth that he punches a light and breaks it.4) The organiser refusing to pay the band because Till broke his light and the band going fine, we'll just steal your carpet then.5) Flake and band assistant Tom constantly fighting with his zipper.6) Flake visiting Australia and buying what he thinks is a can of kangaroo meat for his daughter and opening it to find that it's a small stuffed kangaroo toy.(Because every child longs for a can of minced marsupial) 7) Flake talking about the band repeatedly going through the wrong door when they're about to step on stage and finding themselves in the kitchen or in the middle of the stage.8) Till stealing everything that isn't nailed down, and even some things that are.9) Till being harassed by the stewardesses/air hostesses who can't believe that this huge brute of a guy can really be in business/first class and Till just growling at them when they try to wake him to check that he really has a business class ticket.10) Flake sitting in the dressing room he shares with Till and pining for him. He's feeling lonely then Till busts through the door and all hell breaks loose. Till is such a quiet reserved guy much of the time so it's funny to read about him partying backstage with dozens of women like that, dancing enthusiastically and running around manically.Sorry, I know that you only asked for one but you got ten.

Just read Misosfelis. Wtf happened and should I call someone for you

Oh boy. Context: Misosfelis

I was house-sitting for a mother’s acquaintance in mid-2019. It was my first time living alone for a week, and I had to look after the house and animals and so forth. It wasn’t a huge deal — just feed/water the cats and ponies, various plants, get the mail, put out the bins, etc, but it was more slightly complicated than it seems.

This is Wattle. He’s a very vocal lil’ boy that likes companionship of his owners — and when his owners went overseas for those two weeks, he was understandably distressed. He’s a cool little dude for the most part, just... very demanding. He has a certain lifestyle that did not mesh well with mine.

I was in the middle of studies for my diploma and had several assignments sneak up on me. Combine this with work, coping with living alone, looking after two ponies who could suffer colic if I fed them incorrectly, and my wires were getting a little frayed. Forget about personal space. And Wattle talks a lot. Stand up? Meow. Sit down? Meow. Go to the bathroom? He somehow opened the door to sneak in, and meow. I’d go to cook, he’d get up on the bench and get in my way, and meow. I could not work out what he wanted. He was fed, he was watered, I cuddled him, I took him on walks.

But he was just doing typical cat things, craving attention. I have different standards for my pets at home — I had four dogs and two cats, and three birds at home and they were very, very different behaviour-wise. They’re on a large block of land and entertain themselves. Always at least two, there are, for that express purpose.

I wasn’t willing to lock Wattle away while I did my thing. That’s not fair on him. (That said, he did almost catch fire because he was getting too close to the stove, and at that point, I began going home to cook my meals, to bring back and microwave.) I was simply not used to Wattle constantly being around me.

There was a particularly gory incident when he brought a recently deceased animal inside (he is an outdoor cat — possibly why he’d had his tendon pieced back together and also why he is fed raw kangaroo mince). I was sleeping on a futon in the lounge at the time, where the cat flap outside is, and awoke to the crunching under the table. Not pleasant, really, and I’m glad I’ve had the experience of having to deal with blood and gore by virtue of living with maremmas. But the following day sparked Misosfelis. Because if anyone can make a bad situation better, it’s Dante.

But I appreciate you checking in. ;)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - the missing episodes: series two, volume three

When O'Brien refers offhandedly to Sisko by a vaguely-amusing nickname, it soon makes its way around the station. Though he sees the funny side for a while, 'Sissy Shouty-Britches' soon finds his patience tested to the limit. We can but hope that nobody says the wrong thing at that upcoming diplomatic soiree...

Jeb Pipeman, inventor of the Jefferies tube, visits the station. Alas, no-one really cares - except O'Brien, who fangirls like a crying bitch. When Kira uses the railings in the command centre to leap the stairs, everyone suddenly realises how the whole set-up would make a super-rad jungle gym. The Tal Shiar attempts to discredit Sisko, having learned through intergalactic Chinese whispers of the 'Benjy-Bennybums Sissypants McShouts-a-lot’ slur. Odo mishears O'Brien using the phrase 'as dead as a dodo,' and becomes convinced that the 'tricky Irish bastard' (Sisko) is out to kill him.

The extra-large shoulder pads on Kira's new uniform render her unable to move her arms - at all. Bashir shamelessly uses the opportunity to pinch her 'cute little Bajoran buns' (Dax) whenever he passes her on the promenade. Livid, Kira turns to the most unlikely person imaginable for help: Garak. Bashir uses the archaic British idiom of someone being a 'wind-up merchant,' and Odo becomes convinced that one of the vendors on the station is secretly a renegade clockwork android killing-machine. When a bulkhead is breached on the outer hull of the station, O’Brien has no other option than to use his arse to plug the gap. How fortunate, then, that that old rascal Finnegan O’Shaughnessy – the leprechaun godfather from his childhood – should choose to reappear… Bashir begins a regimen of power walking (or, in his case, mincing) around the promenade and everyone takes the piss - mercilessly. Eventually, he goes nuts and plans to break everyone else’s legs with a springball racquet.

O’Brien inadvertently causes yet more Irish fairy mischief aboard the station when Dougal McGlugg, a clurichaun – a relative of the leprechaun and infamous for their love of drink – starts causing havoc in Quark’s bar.

When Dax pays a visit to Keiko’s kindergarten group, the bright-eyed little tykes bombard her with questions such as : ‘Where would the baby live if the slug-thing is in the bit where babies live?’; ‘Would the baby fall out of the pouch or can it stick its head out like a baby kangaroo?’; ‘Would the trill and the baby fight in your tummy until one is dead?’ and ‘How comfortable are you knowing that you are constantly being objectified by every male officer on the station?’ All of which causes Dax to run and shut herself in her quarters and cry and eat ice cream until Sisko tells her to ‘old-man the f**k up.’
