The Wunderkammer of the Mild Colonial Boy, Esq., a Reactionary Tory Gentleman, who armed only with a Steampowered Babbage Engine and Pure Intentions, wanders the Time Streams and Aetheric Plane gathering an Eccentric Hodgepodge of Curiousities, Frivolities, Whimsicalities and Nonsense.

mydirtymouth: GPOYW: There’s only one kind of baking I’m good at…and it’s not making cupcakes. It took two different attempts but whatever. It’s for the office thanksgiving so I don’t need them to be the best cupcakes ever, I just want them to be eaten so I don’t have to bring them back home. Now let’s just hope I can ice the rest of these b—ches without f—king them up.
