Ah I see your point. Yeah, "beer and pretzel" roleplaying games were considered light hearted breaks from a more serious play culture (at least it was nominally supposed to be serious. Monty Python jokes etc etc etc)
🙄...That woman is as twisted as a pretzel.
It’s cinco de mayo and 53 degrees at game time, but we are quite warm while enjoying a pretzel and pulled pork sliders. Let’s go #PerrosBomberos! #PeoriaChiefs #TheDö.
I’d like to cry about the hate I receive at Disney with a pretzel please, come see my streams, thank you. My brain went to Celine Dion cause I’m from Quebec and she’s an Icon. But Stay Slaying Celine. #twitchstreame…
