If you were a chip what would be your favorite dip?
@Targaryen i’m a flavor of the month kinda kid, so today French Onion - tomorrow, who knows!
@Targaryen you’re holding a knife to their throat to answer aren’t you?
@ChadP @halfling If the knife is to distribute delicious dip then…yes.

You draw real good. You should ask about submitting shirt designs to mediocritee.
@medz
o-oh gosh, I dunno if anyone would buy that!
@halfling @medz I would buy it. I’ll buy anything.
@halfling @medz Can you draw a cat? We might have someone here interested in that.
@cinoclav @medz

@Kawa

@halfling @Kawa well, the other option is body odor and grumpy coworkers.
@Kawa @Targaryen very very true! I am thankful for that, and so I shall grow my hoodie collection!
@halfling has talent and skillz!

@halfling @jaybird @Kawa Bard, clearly.
@jaybird @Kawa @ThomasF one can only daydream about being a barbarian… in the mean time, song and dance anyone??
@halfling INT -2? You’ve got a charmed cap that hides your intelligence by -2d6, right? I’m guessing your CHA is determined by friend (Theirs +2) or foes (Theirs -2) because of your cursed pen.
@Milyvan1 (´；ω；`) oh sowwy mwister, i don’t understand… my pen is not cursed…!
@halfling Charmehd? (Ms. btw)

@halfling @therealjrn
Welcome to the team!
Do you do other artistic things? Are post its your favorite medium for drawing?
@RiotDemon
i unfortunately can’t carry a tune to save my life, so art is about it! i usually work off a tablet, but post-its are pretty darn fun!
@halfling do you have a deviantart or Instagram you are willing/allowed to share?
These are super cute!
@RiotDemon hi hi!
I don’t, just a personal twitter - so sorry!
you are pretty talented! Show us more!
@moonhat
here you go! his name is More!
@halfling well, hello there, More! You are quite cute!
What kind of cookies do you like?
@sammydog01
snickerdoodle! what’s yours?
@halfling Artistic skillz and excellent taste in cookies. You’ll go far.
@halfling I like most kinds of cookies as long as they don’t have peanut butter in them. But I really like to bake snickerdoodles.
@sammydog01 well i can’t eat peanutbutter, so we’ll go far!
Hi there! I like your style. I really hope you answer some CS inquiries with these adorable sticky notes. How can somebody possibly get mad at you if you draw them something on a sticky note?
@lichme
“oh sowwy you didn’t get your item… have this sticky note instead… ok thank you…”
But in a good way. Welcome!
@cinoclav
can confirm, no princess
Welcome to the asylum
Love the art! You are going to stay and play with us, right?
How long do you have to work to earn the bonus company pen? I see @nommynoms has leveled up to orange. I bet purple is difficult.
@speediedelivery @halfling has actually been here a week longer than me! I’ll get out of my training pens eventually.
@nommynoms @speediedelivery
no one loves you sir pennington… i guess it’s just you and me against the world…
@halfling @speediedelivery Aight. This is just extra. AND I LOVE IT
Welcome, from the resident inflatable wolf! Your drawings are adorable. Have a hug!
@PooltoyWolf
huuuuug!
@halfling Oh jeez this made my day
Cat person or dog person?
@narfcake
i’ve got a cane corso who is bigger than me named Bruna! but i’ve been really considering getting a cat…
@halfling @narfcake … how big would the cat be?
@halfling @narfcake we need photos of your fur baby
@narfcake @tinamarie1974
here she is! the light alabaster! – also, i dunno! someone recommend me a cat and I’ll get it!
@halfling Do it do it do it do it! Cats are awe (screw off mbot) some! There’s a cute little fuzzy face at some shelter out there just waiting for your love.
@halfling @narfcake aawwww she is beautiful
@narfcake @tinamarie1974 thank you!! I’ll give her a pet for you when I get home!
@cinoclav yep yep!
I’ll be looking around here in a few weeks 
@halfling @narfcake fur babies always get hugs!
@halfling @narfcake @tinamarie1974 you need a kitty for sure!!
@halfling
(My late doggie wasn’t that big; she was only a hundred pounds – light for an English Mastiff. I’ll adopt again when the time is right, though.)
You have fantastic taste in writing utensils.
@zinimusprime
finally, some good friggin food…
/8ball Are @halfling’s drawings equivalent to the very essence of purest charm?
It is decidedly so
For example:
@f00l aww yissss~!
Welcome! Yes GET A CAT!!! They are sweet. AND they can be best buds with dogs (photo below of the cats and dog where my daughter stays).
If you decide to get a cat and want an excuse for a 400 or so mile trip I have Tigger (aka bird feeder dinner bait kitty, was a scrawny stray) and Peaches (a skinny feral kitty who is now plump, whom I stole from the parking lot where we were feeding what was left of her family - her siblings got hit by/run over by cars - took her exactly 4 days from run when I came near her to sit in my lap for 90 minutes) who I need to find homes for (I have 5 cats and had not intended to keep these newest 2, was just saving them) .
Tigger is a lovely little obnoxious baby. At 7 mo he follows me around and is always underfoot. Like a toddler does things he knows he isn’t supposed to do as he jumps down the second I glare at him. Sleeps on the foot of my bed and needs to be within 3 or 4 feet of me at all times unless playing.
Peaches is a year old (had her since she was 5 mo) and falls under the category of affectionate, grateful kitty. She purrs and purrs when you give her any attention. Her favorite spot in under the covers curled up against me. She an Tigger are best buddies.
Tigger is the yellow one in the photos below. You can see the bird feeder against the fence in the background of the apt building.
@Kidsandliz aw, you have so many sweet babies, Liz. They are so lucky to live with you!
@Kidsandliz oh gosh so overwhelmingly cute!! I don’t think I can drive that far, but I hope they find amazing furever homes!
release the calendar from the 7 days waiting period!
@amehzinggrace
here you go! (I don’t know what this means!)
Japan Man likes your art very much!
@Brasssong WTH
@tinamarie1974 Mrs. Miyagi
@cinoclav needs to remember wax on, wax off
@Brasssong
we are in unison! i like him too!
Hello, @halfling, my name is Barney and I love purple. Welcome!
@Barney
my child hood… comes back to me! hello friend!
@halfling I’m not that Barney, but I am friendly… sometimes.
@Barney friendly enough to be my friend??
@halfling, @Barney is plenty friendly, and almost always in a good mood, but sometimes she can be a little ornery.
@halfling
I think I can manage that, if you can handle my, um, orneriness.
Are you in Carrollton or the guy that makes @Dizavid pay taxes? (He’s pretty upset about that.)
@sammydog01 I’m in Carrollton!
@halfling
How the is Mediocre work experience going for you thus far?
pretty amazing honestly, I’m really happy to be here! hows life on your side?
@halfling
Going ok, since so far the summer is a less-than-hot one.
@f00l so far it is… I don’t trust it though, winter was also less-than-cold…
@halfling
It will get very hot. For longer than any of us locals would prefer. No escaping.
But …
When May and June are relatively cool … When there is lots of rain in the winter and spring … When the water table stays high …
The extreme and very extended hot portion of the summer will almost certainly be not so very bad/hot, and stay “extremely hot” for not nearly so very long …
As it would during a year with with a hot dry spring.
This year will likely include a relatively cooler and nicer summer.
/giphy enjoy summer
