i’m sorry to say this, but it has come to my attention that in disney’s descendants, dopey the dwarf has a son named doug — which means that canonically, dopey has fucked

This Romanesque-style mansion in Louisville, Kentucky was built in the 19th century & eventually turned into a tax business, before it was ironically overtaken by the city for unpaid taxes in 2005. Left to deteriorate the building was eventually sold and re-sold for $1. [730x1100]

Some old housemates of mine were Syrian Orthodox. At their church different members of the church took turns baking the bread that would be consecrated for the Eucharist. This was all well and good until one woman baked raisin bread. This led to the memorable occasion of a rather flustered priest, who had not seen the bread until that moment, declaring, “This - except for the raisins - is the Body of Christ.”

EXCEPT FOR THE RAISINS omg

Raisins are just dried grapes though, and wine is his blood so really its like a two in one shampoo & conditioner except with jesus

This whole NSFW situation is exactly like when America made alcohol illegal in the 1920s to combat rampant alcoholism and it 100% backfired and actually made people drink way MORE and actually made it more accessible. They realized what a mistake they had made and repealed that shit.

Which brings me to my business proposal:

Experiencing brutal cold for a period of time every year keeps you humble

Time to plastic over the windows for the season.

????? Why??????????

You put the plastic on the windows to stop the heat from leaking out of your house from between the panes, through the glass itself, and where the window is attatched to the rest of the house.  This does make a drastic difference in the temeprature of your house and the amount of gas/electricity needed to keep it warm.

Some other Winter Things:

  • If you think there’s going to be an exceptionally deep freeze, you open up all the cabinets in the house to warm the air in there and keep the pipes from freezing/bursting.
  • If you’re going to be away for a while in winter, it’s adviseable to turn your water off to avoid the same.
  • Putting an electric Blanket between your topcover and bedsheet and pre-heating your bed for half an hour so you don’t get a chill going to bed.
  • Applying literal vasaline to your lips if you’re going to be in the cold for an extended time (more than 10-20 min, depending on latitude), becuase chapstick won’t cut it and your lips will split and bleed and HURT
  • Doing the same to your nose
  • Your tears go from liquid to gooey trying to produce a similar protection for your eyes.  You can also feel the water freeze on your eyes if you step directly out into the cold.
  • Also since I know you’re a socal person- in the far north you can get as little as eight hours of daylight. 7AM to 3 PM.  You need to by the most obnoxiously bright light possible and sit beside it or you will actually literally develop psychosis in some cases.  It’s 4:30 and you need to take the dog out? it’s pitch black out.
  • Everything is covered in ice, which will alternately cause you to slip and break something, burn, or actually tear off your skin.
  • Christmas and the pressure to be jolly is much stronger in places with Winter. Get your Holly Jolly On In this Frozen Black Hellscape!!!  It’s why people go real bananas on the holiday lights.  they’re trying to stave off the void.

can confirm, the fancy reindeer and nativity sets the neighbors are sporting are an attempt to drive back the monochrome blahs of winter and are sometimes the only hint of color in a world of white, black and greys

Wasserspeier am Freiburger Münster

WINTER IS A BAD TIME.

What it feels like to chew 5 Gum

IT’S MY FAVORITE GARGOYLE BACK AGAIN FOR WINTERTIME.

I want to know the exact conversation that lead to the creation of this abomination

Ye olde German architect: “ok, it’s time to put in the rainspouts and last night I was out with the lads and Hans had too much and the point is I had the FUNNIEST idea…” *Holds up drawing*

Ye olde German Architect Supervisor: * snorts beer out of his nose.* “YES. BUILD IT IMMEDIATELY.”

That’s gussy babe

Sooooo I just came back from studying in Freiburg and went on a tour of the Münster with a historian who knew all of the insider secrets and the story is even better than you think. 

It took more than 300 years to build the Freiburger Münster (1200s-1500s), so they went through a lot of architects and people who paid those architects. Some of the patrons were dicks and one of those dicks lived in a house right next to the Münster. The asshat kept demanding they work faster and changed his mind every five hours about what he wanted and THEN he refused to pay the architects because he wasn’t happy with what they’d done. 

That really pissed the builders off so in retaliation, the head architect built the butt gargoyle facing his house so that every morning for the rest of his life, when the dick looked out his window at the Münster, he’d have to look at a gargoyle butt.

So, the defecating gargoyle is a big fat “fuck you” to someone’s dick of a boss that has survived 500 years and two world wars

An mmorpg where you can play as a vast range of tiny fairies (tooth fairies, pixies, etc) and the areas you adventure into are human sized towns but because you’re so small it’s all gigantic. Also, the player housing options are bird and dollhouses to accommodate your fairy size.

  • Sewing needles, keys, and screws are used as swords. Knives are treated like greatswords. 
  • Tooth fairies get a racial ability where they can summon a gold coin to beat the shit out of rival fairies with. 
  • Decorate your mailbox home with designer furniture from Barbie dollhouses. Turn an aquarium into a beach getaway. Freezers and cooler boxes are miniature winter wonderlands. 
  • All of the enemies are either rival fairies, insects, or basic wildlife like hostile toads trying to eat you.
  • One of the dungeons is a dusty house with the final boss being a deadly roomba with a knife taped onto it.
