For some reason the tangent I ran off on was instead of seeing drunk armadillos was thinking about getting at least a wee bit drunk with a bunch of heavy drinking armadillos.

Perhaps 'cause I'm reading this as a break from steaming rice to sprinkle with Aspergillus oryzae to make koji to brew a batch of nigori sake.

I skimmed past the beginning of the post where you said this was an old one from 2021 and spent a very baffled minute going, "Why is she in the city? No, he graduated, he's a welder, what is this??" before I figured it out.

Anyway, cheers to the presumed future drunk armadillos, and may your changes continue to be better ones!

Thanks! Sorry, I'll have to figure out how to signal retro posts, as I plan to do a series of these from my years posting at MGC.

I mean, you did preface the essay with "This essay was originally published at the Mad Genius Club on October 9, 2021", I just glossed over that lol

And my grandfather found them tasty..... or so he claimed. Of course he was getting his family through the Great Depression, so...... 8-)

Besides, he doesn't have to love them, he just has to call them so you can charm them to stay.

Leprosy? OK. Interacting with one is now far, far off the list. 😱

It is unlikely to be able to contract it from them, but they are a wild animal, so handing is inadvisable!
