  6. CW: More Hogfather quoting. You have been warned.

    "MERE ACCUMULATION OF OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE IS NOT PROOF."
    — Death, Hogfather

  7. CW: Humor/Hogfather quote/tomfoolery and smartassery afoot

    "I beg your pardon, but it is a chicken. A live chicken," Said Ridcully. "It just went cluck."

    "It *is* blue," she said hopelessly.

    —Terry Pratchett, *Hogfather*.

  8. Ridcully westchnął. Znowu zerknął na grę, co Vetinari zauważył.

    – Proszę na nie spojrzeć. Rzędy i szeregi – rzekł, machając dłonią nad kamiennymi figurkami. – Zwarci w wiecznym starciu i kierowani kaprysem gracza. Walczą, padają i nie mogą zawrócić, gdyż baty pędzą ich naprzód, a wszystko, co znają, to te baty. Zabijaj albo giń. Ciemność przed nimi, ciemność za nimi i baty w głowach. Ale gdyby można było zdjąć z planszy jeden pionek, zabrać go, nim pozna baty, przenieść do miejsca bez batów... czym mógłby się stać? Jedno stworzenie. Jedna samotna istota. Czy odmówi im pan tej szansy?

    – W zeszłym tygodniu kazał pan powiesić trzech ludzi – przypomniał Ridcully, nie całkiem wiedząc dlaczego.

    – Oni mieli szansę. Wykorzystali ją, by zabijać albo i gorzej. Wszystko, na co możemy liczyć, to szansa. Nie dostajemy błogosławieństwa. On był przez siedem lat przykuty do kowadła. Powinien dostać swoją szansę, nie sądzi pan?

  10. Guess I'll have to start Monday on an insufficient amount of caffeine: My store had no Club Mate. Instead, someone put some bottles of Ginger Beer in the slot so it isn't empty. 🤬
    I knew about the Ginger Beer trick, just not that you could do it this way too! 😰
