Oh! Stir bars are the magnetic things at the bottom of lab jars when you're missing stuff, right?
I thought Stir Bar was a nutrition bar or a chocolate bar like a Boost. Stir isn't a great name for a protein bar, but it's not the worst.
Please tell me these are cocaine condoms and not actual stir bars like I thought when I first woke up and saw this
Don’t go for an MRI. Intestine smoothie.
well at least that smoothie will have a stir bar to mix it up...

> drag them back to my lair

> suck up organ smoothie in flesh cup
> take nap
Today was a good day.
Lab Shelob behaviour

Probably someone who's had major bone reconstruction

- my body is about to become organ smoothie 😱
Children eat weird stuff
