But how are overladies and muffins related?
The overladies use the muffins, sometimes referred to as overmuffins to indicate the nefarious purpose that lurks beneath their superficial status of harmless baked goods, as means of manipulation, control, and (most often with Thoth
) punishment. The victims of the EAOs--usually males, as females are either EAOs in training, full-fledged EAOs, or naturally resistant to EAO wiles--find themselves lured by the overmuffins, awakening only too late to the realization that an EAO now has them in her power.
Annoying an EAO causes her to hurl overmuffins at the offender, although no bodily harm ensues as the overmuffins have to travel through cyberspace. On the long-term mental effects, only the victims can speak. But I would note that Thoth, despite repeated pummelings by overmuffins, seems unchastened and relatively undamaged.
Isaac, whom I don't think you've "met" yet--he has jobs galore and thus only checks in on the forums once in a while--has been collecting used overmuffins and using the proceeds of their sale to feed his growing family.
And now you know why the forums offer an excellent source of procrastination options as well as a cure for writer's block, if only to escape the silliness and return to your own creative world, however flawed.
Congratulations on your second square, Steakpirate. Thoth, how did you top 1,200 posts without anyone noticing? A special chocolate candy-cane overmuffin (in its own special box, not hurled) for you!
Best to all,
Marguerite
