Yet it gets recited at weddings, funerals, and most minor irrigation disputes. Usually with a solemn head nod for emphasis.

I did in fact steal them from the village's number 1 runner. He begged and begged and begged for me to give them back, but by then they were rightfully mine and no one was around to disprove him. So i just laughed and laughed in his stupid ugly good at running face. Got myself a lot of strange from those ribbons…","meta_description":"There's a saying in ol' North Warlocksburg: \" Still water runs deep, and deep water runs wise, and wise water knows better than to answer questions it was…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3231,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/d-d-is-for-nerds-3482/episodes/barovia-v-5-barovian-tea/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/d-d-is-for-nerds-3482/barovia-v-5-barovian-tea.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
