The Old Hack

My partner once got six economy-sized bags of cat treats she didn't remember ordering. When challenged on the matter, her cat pretended to complete innocence.

At least the dogs don't become politicians.

"I'm back home!  Didn't like the safe place.  There was a small yappy dog!" - Explorer the Cat.

"The Human says that the house is being bug sprayed today and that I have to go to the vet to be safe.  I Do Not Like This." - Explorer the Cat.

 

There you go, being reasonable.

Proof the world is not flat: if it were, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now.

Yeah, with teeth and tongue showing
 

The game store I used to go to had a full sized chest mimic for sale.  Well, a foam version of one any way.

Trees are SO dangerous, in fact, that after we kill them, we burn the corpses just to make sure!

Nice punchline to the post.

Well I am kinda bored so I decided to do something silly. People love to argue about which superhero could beat which so I am creating a list of what would happen if Homelander got into a fight with various heroes. With no further ado here goes.
 
-- Homelander vs. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl
Homelander stands no chance here. Squirrel Girl wins hands down. She's unbeatable. It says so right there in her name.
-- Homelander vs. Deadpool
Deadpool wins. It will most likely take him a whole movie and will certainly involve fourth wall breaking, ludicrous amounts of weaponry and gratuitous violence, completely undeserved luck and a lot of really terrible jokes, but at the end of the day Homelander has no chance here.
-- Homelander vs. the Spider-Verse
Obviously Homelander has no chance here, I am just really amused by the mental image of infinite Spider-Heroes dogpiling that POS.
-- Homelander vs. Kermit the Frog
Kermit wins. You'd think that even Homelander could beat up an innocent nonviolent plushie frog, and yes he can, but as soon as Miss Piggy notices what he is doing he is done for.
-- Homelander vs. Cyclops
Homelander wins. He will make that whiny-ass Scott Summers his b-word. Congratulations, list, you finally found a 'hero' I hate even more than Homelander.
-- Homelander vs. Thanos
Who wins? Who cares? Nobody likes either of them. Let them fight.
-- Homelander vs. Galactus
Galactus eats the Earth and wins. It was a mistake to let Homelander handle that one. You need real heroes to handle the Planet Eater.
-- Homelander vs. Mr. Incredible
While Mr. Incredible's victory is a foregone conclusion, Homelander will nonetheless somehow be defeated by the fact that his costume has a cape. He should have listened to Edna Mode.
And finally...
-- Homelander vs. Elon Musk
Obviously Homelander will pound Musk into a thin paste but once again the mental image is so very satisfying so I am including the matchup anyway.
 
That's all I can think of this time. More silliness may or may not follow later or you can add your own. Have a good time.

Mimics are a monster that disguises  it self as a chest or other piece of furniture.  This one is a bit larger than normal...

"When In doubt clean.  Words to live by" - Explorer the Cat.

"Gonna hang out in here for awhile, then join The Human in the living room.  Suspect I'll be on his shoulders in a bit." - Explorer the Cat .

The Human seems to be staying here. I'll just sit in his way for a bit, then go get something to eat.

It does, indeed. Russia has done far more to unite NATO than anyone else in recent memory. Of course, if not for Russia, we probably wouldn't need a NATO organization.

Well yes, but in terns of “causing the very international situation that you were seeking to prevent”, it fits.

Instead he got 2 historically neutral nations to join NATO and the alliance it stronger than ever.  Double fail. 

"The Human has gotten up late. As soon as he gets in the desk chair I'm gonna sit on him" - Explorer the Cat

Yes, actually. The person being told  becomes more confident in their position (small wedge becomes the dominant part), and the third party accompanying the accuser sees the shallowness of their position and becomes open-minded. Look at the expanding lined areas.
PBF is ironically named, is not at all conventionally religious, if that was not apparent.
 

 
Ah reckon I never did find myself in such a predicament as in one memorable Old West game (GURPS) 
Seems the bad guy was gettin' away while a big ol' wolf was makin' a mess outta all the townsfolk 
Well having barely survived my encounter with the wolf, I was the last armed person with a shot at the bad guy before he got out of sight 
I somehow managed a long series of health, perception, and will checks (a few critical successes) to get my weapon aimed at the target 
Then, just as I pulled the trigger, I rolled for my Guns / Black Powder Weapon skill and wound up with a critical failure.  Weapon Jam (not the Spartan Breakfast Treat) 
I immediately collapsed, but strangely woke up without a scratch as the full moon rose that night . . . 
 

As far as I recall he started the war with four objectives in mind:
Preventing NATO expansion and causing it to further disunite Impress the world with the power and capability of the Russian military Increase Russian influence and presence on the world stage Gaining more allies and demoralizing his enemies through decisive action So far he is 0 for 4. I do not see that this is likely to change much for the better.
