mostly ceremonial at this point but I’ve still been making the annual trek to the Cave of Time to see how much sand is left in my hourglass. fun thing: if you’re nice to the Arbiter of Hours he might tip a few grains into your timer for you. brought a hoagie this year and got like a quarter cup
Ohhhhh. You're supposed to GIVE, not THROW the sandwhich. Well shit. I lost 15 years over a thrown sandwhich and misunderstood directions. I could have done something more fun to shorten my life.
Remember those anti-smoking commercials they used to air where they tied a ribbon around the neck of the hourglass to show you how each cigarette caused it to get progressively wider until it snapped? Kinda crazy to think they used to show stuff like that on TV
Bring a ham sandwich to the guy in charge of time is a plot point in S5 of the Magicians
okay well, this is my real life
Pretty good plotline for real life
Happy birthday
Oh my gosh that makes sense. Happy day, ceej! If it is, in fact, your birthday and you don't just go to the Cave of Time at some other point during the year.
Went last year with the kids. Is it me or has the quality at the coffee shop really gone downhill?
how does the Arbiter of Hours feel about graham crackers? (I bought from costco just as my kids decided they were off graham crackers)
Applesauce for me. "Oh cool a 72 pack. Oh what's that you'll never eat it again?"
Our cats and literally every food we tried them with (until one was diagnosed with IBS and now it’s the special food only, vet’s orders (and the occasional treat, we’re not monsters))
shit, you just gave me nostalgia
at first I misread thinking you were going to the Time Tombs, and I was going to say, buddy, that is not a great idea
oh can you imagine
Even when I wear my "I visited the Time Tombs and all I got was impaled on the Tree of Pain" novelty tshirt, I try hard not to imagine.
Honestly that would be a pretty awesome shirt. I guess time to figure out how to put a design on a shirt with something that isn't puff paint and glitter glue.
That old softie
ME: well this is a pretty good hoagie though, good bread and real provolone, I dunno
🎶 if I could save time in a bottle, I’d bring the Arbiter of Hours Jimmy John’s…
What do I have to do to get him to take a few grains out
Is this real
You mean you've never visited the cave? How do you know how much time you have left then?
The Night Man keeps telling me when I sleep. To each their own, I guess.
yes?

i give some grains for free
imagine what he'd do for a slushie
I hang out with the Arbiter of Hours every Saturday. And I must say he knows how to slow roast a chicken, he says his secret is thyme, I don't believe him.
