Origin story for "Christ-in-a-Hole". Weird to think in a parallel @loremen.bsky.social universe, they are called "K-hole"...

Please take a whimsical break with the dashing Loremen.
Into the depths of Wychwood Forest, where one family made a terrible mistake while digging up a tree stump. Plus, we might just have come up with a new form of forensic science. (It's fingerprints, but instead of fingers it's bums. It's bumprints.)

Loremen 03.101:
James (child voice): The no-snakes as big as me, sir?
ABK (imperious Dickensian voice): That's a confusing sentence, child!
Tiny Tikus: oh no
Might I speak for the benefits of having an alert noise that makes you smile?
Mine is @maddambeltaine.bsky.social as Tiny Tikus saying, in a tiny voice, "Oh, no."
