mehhh, but then the pie (mplf) pans would be dented....I'd rather use pie (mplf) and make more later than ruin the pie (mplf) pans and not be able to make more later....then again, I could always use Wesley.

but Wesley hasn't had this sort of fun in ages!!! Are you going to ruin his life by depriving him of such fun, Derny??? *holds up Wesley and gives big puppy dog eyes*

Or you could throw Humphrey... although, knowing Humphrey, he would more likely turn around and throw you instead.

The Beard
[biəd] m; duffer object belonging to Olórin the Wise. Some of the best-known characteristics of the beard are that it is uneducated, intimidating, militant, serves as a hiding place for all sorts of items, triggers other people's aggression and envy, can talk, can blink, and identifies its bearer as old and male (leading to confusion when combined with long hair, as in Olórin's case). Speculations are that the wizard grew his beard at the age of 1067,3867. We do, however, know that it took 157 years to grow.
These are only the obvious qualities of the Beard. Controversy started early as the Beard became a popular bullying object for various duffers. Its colour has always had a prominent role in this and was much debated. This phenomenon was interpreted by Dr. dipl. O. Rable-Loonie in his latest work as "the eternal yearning of dufferkind to attain unconfined superiority over the ever diminishing authority of the cornflakes bowl in view of the reciprocal present-day pizza / breakfast relation in the postmodern USA" (Marsh of the Moustache, Dufferland 2009, $17,95).
The Beard was accused of being fake, premature or unable of understanding pseudo-intellectual prattling.
Its bearer, Olórin the Wise, never despaired but faithfully defended his facial decorum.
Its adversaries then turned violent and tried to harm the beard in a variety of ways.
As previously mentioned, the colour of the beard mattered a good deal to Olórin the Wise and everyone involved in the battle of the beard. Originally, it was undoubtedly of a bright white colour (although it has been suggested that it might have been grey before and turned white only after the wizard's temporary hallucinations, having just fought a flaming balrog on top of a freezing mountain), but soon rumours spread which suggested that the beard could change its colour.
Lieke's claim found acceptance among the duffers at large, even though Olórin the Wise continued to deny the pinkness of his beard. The owner should know the colour of his beard, as has been pointed out time and again, but since it was Lieke (ruler of the universe) who claimed that his beard be pink, we'll believe her, since she is the one brainwashing us.
The beard also frequently turns into a bear:
Today, several legends involving the beard are known (thanks to John Goodhill and Wilhelm Batzendorf's popular standard work Luminous Locks - Legends and Tales Around the Beard) which tell, for example, of finding the needle in the beard or cult rituals celebrating the beard.
It is not known for certain what the Beard is up to these days. Recent news support speculations that the Beard is developing superpowers which it will use in support of his reputation.
Proverbs like "What the Beard!" or "By the Beard!" show that the Beard will indeed not be forgotten quickly.

olórin the wise said:No wonder my beard has been so militant lately.

Ahhh... I admit... that was a much better entry than any that I could have written... except for the pinkness part, of course. Hmph! It's all an illusion, you see, you're all wearing pink sunglasses, so you think my beard is pink...

what about the blind man? do you simply neglect his statement.
and yes, i work for lieke, i admit. as long as derny doesn't accept her dufferness, that is.

no! don't encourage him! we almost had him convinced his beard was pink... *sighs*
while writing on the beard, another duffer item popped into my head which we should have an entry for, but now it popped out again... if i remember, i'll post it here.

Cheese
Food consisting of proteins and fat from milk with a beneficial effect on sleep.
On NF / TDL, cheese is generally agreed to be an essential part of a meal, along with pie (mplf) and coffee-flavoured ice cream (although some members will eat about anything, and that's a fact.)
A (member) who is famous for his obsession with cheese is Humphrey, who coined the phrases
A special kind of cheese, which comes in cans, is sought by duffers in the Cheese Whiz thread. The importance of cheese can be deduced from multiple other threads called Cheese Family, More Cheese, Cheese vs. Mushrooms, Cheesecake, Cheez-It Appreciation Day, or Cheesy.
The recently confirmed scientific theory that cheese plays a large role in the dufferish brain serves as an explanation to this astonishing awareness of cheese.
Historians still try to figure out what part cheese plays in the naming of the "Golden Age".

my sincerest apologies for double-posting, but i just saw that we have no entries yet for h, and it strikes me as unfair.
Habeas Corpus
(1) Latin expression for a law that gives you rights, often suspended and reinstated from its first appearance in the Middle Ages. Something unheard of in Dufferland.
(2) Name of Lieke's toothbrush.
Hallucinations
This entry is not really here.
Hatchet
Weapon whose existence HB should never hear of. In rural folktales, the hatchet is also known as "Fred's bane" (meaning of term still unclear).
Headache
Painful throbbing in the upper region of the head. Headaches are caused by unusually pointless or confusing posts in Dufferland, unusually long and pointless or confusing posts or head injuries caused by whales, cliffs, cacti, coffee-poisoning or pancakes.
Headaches usually last for as long as the affected duffer can focus their attention on said post (usually 0,02 - max. 8 seconds). In the case of the maximum credible headache, the pain will last forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and the accompanying stabs of pains will torture the victim over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
