Short Rest: Ep. 52: Crushed by an Angel

Still amuses me that murph thinks brutal critical is a good feature. Even at level 1 it's pathetic

I’m glad I relistened, I never noticed how hard Caldwell crushed that Cirilla/thriller note

Favorite quotes from this episode! "You're a hardy city pigeon" -Emily The birth of the city pigeon "Jake was some Hawk" -Emily "What!? Did you just call your husband a pigeon and your friend a hawk!?" -Murph Murph getting quoted with "you're a pussy ass bitch with a pussy ass dick" And Emily getting called "basic bitch". Now Caldwell wants to be hollered at and Jake says "hey flat ass!" "Bend the knee to maw-maw"

The beginning of the city pigeon

Idk why, but Caldwell comes off as an Emu to me. Something about the idea of the birds winning a war with Australia just gives me chaotic goof vibe lol

Emily could've just said city pigeons are smart and resourceful lol

Are angels birds of pray? 🙏

Just came across this poem. The "Emily" is Dickinson, but still seemed super appropriate (and maybe some consolation for Murph): https://twitter.com/karigrafia/status/1420002599588270097?t=9fdNHDQDZ0vhSCYfXtInGg&s=19

She may have been thinking of Skrilla as in money when she was asking about cirilla sounding like something people rap about

Listening to this years later after Unsleeping City and Murph is definitely a hearty spicy city pigeon!

I'm super late to this party, but Murph is City Face! https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/comics/00001454.jpg

See I thought Emily meant like the old slang of calling women birds but then that all happened

I was leaning toward not a city pigeon until you talked about the breakfast fries 😂

I laughed harder about the bird analogies than I have in years, and I’m at the library in college with people studying right next to me, curse you for making me enjoy this so much

Emily (if you read this), I am a DM - I constantly give OP loot to my players, and I constantly get dunked on by that flaw in my plan 😂 I do however break their stuff a lot tho, so... There's that.

You're a city pigeon

Murph gives city pigeons a good name.

Daaang. What if Moonshine's dad was a high elf in Gladehome(?) ? Like a Jens-like character or something. And she has a whole high elf name she doesn't know about (listening to short rest 15 and high elf names came up)??

i cannot believe Emily didn't call Murph a finch

Look right between them and just shout FLAT ASS! 😆

Murph is a goodfeather <a href="https://youtu.be/QZPwdGbxwNU" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/QZPwdGbxwNU</a>

Cirilla's is a chain of Sex and Romance shops in SE Michigan. So, I imagine Queen Cirilla in some crazy lingerie.

I’m sure no one remembers but if I ever met caldwell id take a knee and say “hey sweety may I tussle your hair?”

I immediately thought of Murph as a horned owl. I also choked on my breakfast when Jake started making bird noises, so thank you for that.

Murph is a Golden Finch with a little finch dick, and I refuse to believe otherwise.

City Daddy Pigeon Murph

The picture of Bending the knee to ma ma sounds hilarious. Anyone have the link?

Brian is City Pidgeon Supreme

If you meet Jake, call him Darryl

Murph may be a Canada goose which is like a bigger city pigeon.

1.) Murph, you are such a hawk. 2.) What NPC were the "Angels" you used? Homebrew or something else? 3.) Apologizes...I put this in the wrong place earlier...I rolled a nat 2 on my “paying the fuck attention” check.

Does Emily know that "bird" is a slang for girl/woman?

Murph is the KING of city pigeons!!!

ghost girl get adopted by Hardone Surefoot in the afterlife with Gemma

Caldwell is 100% a Kookaburra!

I understand if you don't want to talk about it, but is there closure to Emily's stolen bike story?

Murph is undeniably King of the City Pigeons.

I forget what Short Rest it was, but Caldwell, you opened with "Aw fuck, it's Caldwell!" and THAT'S the callback I'd be tempted to yellat you.

It’s for sure a compliment, I wish I had the strength and vigor of a city pigeon. I’m a chickadee at best.

Great podcast! Fuck those birds!

Caldwell, theres nothing else to yell at you in public but Kaloo Kulay!(i dont know the spelling, but somebody please tell me)

you need to try a Sun Drop glazed ham, instead of coke

100% city pigeon but own it,those things are a force to be reckoned with

Yaaaaaay!!! Now I have hours of pure joy to drop into my word catchers!!!
