| shovelglove (idea) | by Lucy-S |
A "shovelglove" is neither a glove nor a shovel. It's usually a sledgehammer, the head wrapped in an old sweater or sweatshirt. The sweater is just there as a minimal safety feature to give a slight bit of protection to things like your hardwood floor or your noggin.
The shovelglove is intended as a cheap piece of workout equipment; you use the sledgehammer to go through a variety of moves that mimic shoveling coal, or chopping wood, poking a spear at an orc, etc....

Once parties have agreed to buy and sell, the question arises as to when the risk of damage, deterioration or destruction of the thing sold and bought passes from the seller to the buyer. As a starting point, the owner of the thing carries the risk of destruction or damage. I...

| Friends who fuck (event) | by Choked Chicken |
I told her where I was from the beginning:
"I want you, but not at the expense of my life."
Somehow she valued this as honesty and gave herself to me -

| Chicken stuffed with avocado and havarti (recipe) | by Meldon |
Though this recipe takes rather more preparation than my last one, it can still be made without too much fuss, and the results are excellent.
