it's more likely thank you think.

I’ve been slowly carving a spoon but I took a break to make this little fella. I used a walnut stain which I haven’t tried before, I’d probably go for something a little warmer next time but I think it came out alright in the end.

Everyone's favorite Fallout critical play returns as Michael and CMRN try to mop up Fallout 4's almost endless flow of sidequests that are in no way designed to intersect with the main quest for some reason, despite some of best weird crap in the game being hidden in them??? Anyway if you want the audio-only podcast feed of this show you can head over to the Patreon and snap it up IMMEDIATELY.

"There's a sidequest to give Curie a humanoid body" Boo! Booooo!

"The body's got a shitty flannel butch look." Hold on.... let's let this one play out.

A couple friends and I came up with it a few weeks ago, and it keeps rattling around my head: every type of food in the world can be split into two categories. These categories are not good or bad, not tasteful or tasteless; they are simply an entirely new dichotomy. The "King Rule," as we called it, is very simple:

Pick any food, then imagine a restaurant named "[food name] King" (Hoagie King, Gyro King, Salad King, etc). Would you have a good time there?

Many options are easy:

• Gyro King is delicious, obviously
• Teriyaki King is pretty solid
• Hoagie King will be your go-to lunch stop for years

Other foods fall closer to the line:

• Meatball King tastes amazing and WILL give you food poisoning. Near pass.
• Pizza King is terrible but beloved. Depends on personal preference.
• Eclair King will disappear in six months after the owner is arrested for tax evasion

And others fail the rule miserably:

• Salad King is bad, AND costs twenty dollars a plate
• Waffle King is just a less reliable Waffle House
• Burger King.

It's difficult to describe the line between these foods, but it's felt very instinctively. You already know in your heart of hearts that Barbecue King is amazing, while Steak King is mid at best. This isn't to say that steak isn't good, nor salad, waffles, or burgers; in fact, they're all amazing foods in the right context. But regardless of their quality, they fail the King Rule.

I don't know what any of this means, but it feels vitally important. The whole of our future rests upon our ability to understand the full ramifications of the King Rule.
