Gently poke one of these guys with a stick and a bright orange or red forked thing will come out the rear end and it lets off a strong sweet smell.
Kids and I accidentally discovered it last year moving a bunch of them to a different tree.
"Osmeterium" is what it's called.

Even if he was a good choice, giving him only 8 games was just insane.
I'm Aussie and thus obliged to like Ange (even as Spurs manager), but like if there's anything consistent with his teams it's that they've taken time to adjust to his systems.

Love jumping spiders. We get so many around our place, and the kids love watching them too.

Is it just the Tylenol that causes autism? Or is it all paracetamol? I've got shifty eyes on you Panadol 👀

Woah, only just realising how much that fear permeated my whole childhood 🤯
Wife and I have actually reconnected with our faith as adults, but trying not to impose all that oppressive shit on our kids.
We're also very lefty Christians that can't understand the mad Zionists, and pro-Kirk madness.

Yeah, I agree with this. And your original point about emo era drummers being cracked.

Thanks for sharing this. Was literally just talking to my wife about this. We're Christian but very left, but basically all of our Christian friends are saying how wonderful Charlie was, and we're like "are we talking about the same person?" It's wild how different our online bubbles are.

How do you feel about twenty one pilots drumming? I think Josh is cracked enough to keep up with drummers from the emo era. Just doesn't bring the driving energy on _every_ track.

I just turned 40 and as far as I can tell I'm not Stella yet. I want to protest that I wasn't given enough warning, but it'd be no use.

Nope, not feeling it and playing some other games at the moment. I will definitely play it at some point, but not right now.
