Frasier: Yes, Lieutenant, that's right.

Columbo: But surely your brother would know that sherry is a dessert wine.

Frasier: ...

There is so much more football in the NFC game than in the AFC one. As someone who mostly watches football to see punts go out of bounds I can't say I care for it.

Heck yeah! We just did our first pass at the driveway too

Have you met the award-winning Weird Western TTRPG, Haunted West? 🤠👻
If not… partner, what’re you waitin’ for?
🔮 Supernatural terror
🩸 Gritty horror
📜 Dark, twisted history
🎲 A genre-redefining tabletop experience
If you want a game that haunts your table long after the dice stop rolling, this is it

Loved, loved, loved this game. Played it on stream with @symphonyhorror.bsky.social and had a blast.

Excited to see it!

The performances at Avalon Studios are truly something to see. Don't miss this brand new episode of Silver Screams!
