Can I still pay my union dues by sacrificing goats, bartering homemade macramé, or offering to house-sit while the high priestess is on vacation in Tulum?
The Topeka Coven has long accepted sacrificial gifts to our dark lord, in-kind bartering, and occasional house-sitting as payment for dues and services rendered.

Scoopy Daddy is a child-development teaching tool that I, your father, developed in response to recent changes in attitude and behavior you each exhibited. You likely remember the debut of Scoopy Daddy. Several weeks ago, the family was having ice cream as a special treat, and, as is typical, I began to scoop out your portions. This is a reasonable role for me, your legal guardian, to play.
However, you each began screaming and crying like babies about how you wanted to scoop out your ice cream. In response, I began to play the character of “Scoopy Daddy,” a grown adult father with the temperament you were displaying—that of a misbehaving toddler. Scoopy Daddy stomped his feet and began to scream back at both of you:
