Drakeula has a problem. He keeps getting these bottles of cheap wine.

They don't even listen when he says "I do not drink... wine."

Beer lenses are in the Barrel of Fun in the MTS. Its a costly place to visit. I loose 100meat every time I go there.

I got my beer lenses in the Tavern. That's after clearing the rats out and getting your ring. Going back to the tavern is a chancy proposition, because you can either gain or lose TONS of stat points in one fell swoop. You can also, from time to time, get a beer lens.

Heh, I was wondering about that. I never remembered losing any meat in the Barrel full of Barrels. Dang, I've been avoiding the tavern like a plague ever since I took care of the rat problem because the first time I accidentally went in there I lost meat and stats. Figured it was a constant thing.

Yeay! I'm at level 6 now. Where in the world do I go to find stuff for the lock on the door in the cave? Also, does anyone know a use for rat whiskers and appendixes? I've tried cooking them with different things and haven't hit on a working combo yet.

They make excellent Kabobs, not sure about the whiskers yet. As for the locks, if you have extra materials from when you built your car, that should help. And the next one, think about what you might need under more normal circumstances with that material.

I think that all the whiskers are for is to keep track of how many rats you have killed in the tavern. I'm pretty sure mine disappeared when I finished that quest.

The appendices are, as has been said, for making kebabs. You'd be surprised how many disgusting things can suddenly become nourishing and even tasty when you put them on a skewer.

Ok, I have a cog/sprocket assembly, but still don't know how I'm supposed to use it to fix that stupid lock. I'm not a mechanical person! Isn't it enough that I built a bitchin' meat car?

Do you have a Knoll mushroom or a Knob mushroom? They're different.

At around level 5-6, what can I do to heal more? Can I buy healing potions? Can I get anything better than a barskin tent to help me heal?

Can you adventure for pixels yet? Those make healing potions. Additionally, you should be able to obtain some anticheese by now. Combine that with a bowl of cottage cheese to make a cottage, which will increase your healing rate in camp. A fully leveled mosquito familiar will heal you for 2-5 points of damage every now and then, too.

I just dressed up in the 8-bit finery. As far as I can tell, I don't get any added benefit from wearing an "outfit" except for a new picture in the upper-left corner. Am I missing something?

Fairy gravy is found in the Haiku Dungeon. Anti-cheese is found at the Distant Lands Dude Ranch.

Yup, it changes on a day to day basis whether the hermit has the 10 leaf clover. Though for the last 3 or 4 days he hasn't. Typically, it's just when I've been looking for the dang thing. [Wall Bash]

Our clan's meat tree gives out free meat to members based on the amount of meat in our stash. As members, you help pay us back by increasing your clan karma -- either by donating items you don't need, or donating at least 100 meat a day.

You know, Sara, you SHOULD hang on to some personal meat. A lot of the items you want later in the game -- and a lot of the training options -- cost more meat than it's likely a level 5 - 7 character can make in a single day.

I just got this message in the Cobb's Knob Menagerie:

You're fighting a Spectral Jellyfish

This is the enslaved spirit of a jellyfish that didn't quite make it to Jellyfish Heaven (where jellyfish go, to get away from Mormons and drunk Eskimos.)

I only recently started using any of my meat for myself. I figure now that we have the 50k in the bank, I don't need to put every last meat toward the coffers.

Does anyone know if the tattoos are useful in any way?

Tattoos are not useful.

I have, by the way, decided that the best purchase Mindsweeper ever made was his kickback cookbook; it costs 4000 meat, but adds 10 damage to every one of his spells. This makes most combats at this level ridiculously easy.

I was finally able to get one of my characters onto the Icy Peak without dying. He's a Seal Clubber, and he uses his Thrust/Smack skill to do 3x damage that never misses. I am now getting about 300 gold each adventure, plus 15+ skill points and usually a yeti skin, which can be traded for either a hippo, penguin or yak skin, all of which can be used to smith some really great pants. It doesn't hurt that I finally got 60 Muscle, allowing me to wield the Drywall Axe (Power 150).

I'm not sure what you want me to do, Rakeesh. Jeff the Jerk and Turin are both already clan members, and I see no other characters waiting to be admitted to the clan.

I think one of my characters has everything needed to assmemble the car. Just two questions:

Can I use the "sweet rims" I got from the hermit instead of just "rims"? Plain old rims haven't come my way yet.

I am pretty sure I could plow through 350 messages here and get an answer, but could someone tell me how you make a meat stack? Do you just combine the meat or do I need something to do it?

Probably have a couple more characters applying tomorrow or Friday. A seal-clubber and a turtle-tamer. That's it, though. I cannot bring myself to do a character that's a disco anything.

Mr. Funny, I have four characters:
1. Mr Boy
2. Aunt T'Pau
3. ChiTown Brown
4. The Historical Bentley

My friend has two more:
1. Marco Chagallo
2. Tatie Danielle

My other friend, I believe, is looking forward to starting another two characters, who she has yet to name.

Sweet rims are the rims you want in a car. As for the meat stack, you make it in your inventory just like you would make meat paste, only you need 100 instead of 10 meat.
