I hope Hammer67 Hammer67 doesn’t mind me telling our story in a public forum.
We had just finished reading Gullivers travels in our book club. We had both noticed hidden messages in the writing. Both of us coming to the same conclusion. Lilliput was real and it was one of the islands around the Strait of Magellan.
The messages also seemed to point to the Lilliputians as having knowledge of the fountain of youth.
All the other members of the book club were 80+ year old women. After hearing our theories the ladies pooled their money (because they could feel the reaper hounding them daily). And sent us to track down those little bastards and find the fountain of youth.
Being old ladies (most of them spinsters), they didn’t have a lot of cheddar to fund the mission. The flight from the US down south wasn’t bad. We landed in northern Chile. But then we had to ride thunderbirds the rest of the way. It would have been okay if they hadn’t been infested with lice or mites or whatever those itchy bugs were.
Anywho… upon landing around the strait we failed to hobble our thunderbirds and they just up and left us.
We searched and searched. Swimming from island to island. And we found them.
We were out of food by then but the Lilliputians were gracious hosts and prepared a grand feast for us. But they are tiny and so was their lame ass feast.
We inquired about the fountain of youth and they took us to a spring. But just before we drank from it we realized that there had been a slight mistranslation in one of our clues. The water doesn’t make you younger, it makes you smaller. Hammer67 Hammer67 was pissed! He started stomping on all the Lilliputians. Or “Lilliliars” as he called them. After the last one was dead he went and pissed in the spring.
Then we wandered for a couple more days, bought and ate urchins, eventually got cell signal and got a boat ride out of there.
Good times.
Stop noticing then you won't have to pee in so much stuff.

I'm down to like 8 per week.

Is this last couple pages what happens when people get excited about mushroom season, but don’t know how to ID mushrooms? 🤨

Some hippy lady once told me that you can tell which mushrooms are good to go by taking a small bite: if it tastes bitter, it's bad, but if it does not taste bitter then you're fine, and you won't get sick if you just take a nibble and immediately spit it out.

I've followed her advice and can certainly tell you that they all taste bitter when eaten raw, so I gathered the least bitter ones and____
