      About 35lbs give or take, it's a key ingredient for us. Much is wasted, we only use the highest quality results.

      The king has suffered from moldfoot for decades, our latest is a proprietary blend of Habsburg bone and ginger root.

        Mold is the English name for Yr Wyddgrug, a town in Flintshire, North Wales. Has its etymology in an old term for an earthen mound that's bigger a hill but smaller than a mountain.

        It's weird to me that Americans would spell mould like that.

          mound

          Here! Right here! When you use 'ou' in this word it sounds like Mao, right? Well it does in Murican at least

          So mould would be pronounced like moald. That's all I can hear when I read it lol

                English is a horrific patchwork of other languages, blame whoever they stole it from (etymonline says "probably from moulde, past participle of moulen "to grow moldy" (early 13c.), related to Old Norse mygla "grow moldy," possibly from Proto-Germanic").

                Similar configurations of letters sound differently 'cos the languages they came from pronounced them differently.

                  A hourrific patchwourk ouf outher languages. 😜

                  I get it, English is a fuck. I really am enjoying studying Spanish, everything is pronounced exactly as you would expect and there's never these special rules for random bullshit stolen from other languages lol

    My mandrake has reached its teenage years and seems to have lost all respect for me. What should I do? I'm tired of being bullied by a plant

      It's experimental, but we've had good luck with a urine soak. It must come from a person who is baptized and collected under a new moon.

    Obviously all this talk of cancer is pure quackery, what I need to know about is the good King's humours--are they in balance? It seems to me that he is suffering from an overabundance of black bile, which should be readily countered by the strength of the royal blood. Has some well-meaning "modern" doctor diluted His Royal Highness's sanguinity with the extract of mere commoners? The strength of the royal humours should not be underestimated. The choleric and phlegmatic appear to remain in balance, as royal matches royal. However, if he has been supplemented with ignoble blood, the royal melancholic bile would rapidly throw the system out of balance. Have you considered having the Archbishop of Canterbury bless his blood?
