Haha, that brought back memories of the Dukes of Hazard.
Hmm, Sham Tavern, sounds like a name from a Barbara Cartland novel. (Would they only sell non-alcoholic real ales in a sham tavern?) And how did he gnaw his way though his restraints so quickly?

Kribe has been using those cheap plastic cable ties again, instead of the manacles. Now Sham tavern is running around loose in the cellar, and has obviously found Kribes steam powered "Telecalculograph", and it's connected to the Æthermesh. All hell may break loose now.
You forgot about my trusty sidekick, kung-fu spider
I don't know, the hospitality around here leaves something to be desired. I tried to play the role of long-lost uncle, but Yogobat found me.
Oh no, I hoped you'd bring Cutie-pie Spider instead...You forgot about my trusty sidekick, kung-fu spider

Sorry, where are my manners. I shall offer you a beverage and introduce you.
My Pa (Adopted he says) is "Kribe", though known as Biker to normal lesser humans. His brother is Crosslandkelly, though I like to think of him as "Clanks Old Lyres" he usually is cried Uncle Kelly. Then there's "Uh No" (Houn), Petrochemicals - known as Cousin Pedro (we were being kind that day), Brother Bob is Belzeebob (though he doesn't get out to play with us much these days) - we are the assorted offspring of the former duo and persons unknown though we think Auntie Turbo (her names were too rude to jumble up) may have been involved in the mix, but Kribe hasn't had that talk with us yet.
Pa often spends many months in his bunker planning manic schemes with the odd high pitched scream emanating from the muffled walls.
Would you like a biscuit?

Earl Grey tea please, and a jammy dodger. The spider will have a plump juicy rodent, if that's ok. It is best not to say no to her. She gets upset.

Fried spiders for sale at the market in Skuon
Fried spider is a regional delicacy in Cambodia. In the Cambodian town of Skuon (Cheung Prey, Kampong Cham Province), the vending of fried spiders as a specialty snack is a popular attraction for tourists passing through this town. Spiders are also available elsewhere in Cambodia — in Phnom Penh for instance — but Skuon, a market town on the highway 75 kilometres (47 mi) from the capital, is the centre of their popularity.[1] The spiders are bred in holes in the ground in villages north of Skuon, or foraged for in nearby forestland, and fried in oil. It is not clear how this practice started, but some have suggested that the population might have started eating spiders out of desperation during the years of Khmer Rouge rule, when food was in short supply.[2]
The spiders are a species of tarantula called "a-ping" in Khmer, and are about the size of a human palm.[3] The snacks cost about 300 riel each in 2002, or about US$ 0.08.[3] One travel book identifies them as Haplopelma albostriatum, also known as the Thai zebra tarantula, and notes that the same species' common name has been the "edible spider" for more than a hundred years. The popularity of the dish is, however, a recent phenomenon, starting perhaps as late as the 1990s.[4] The same book details a recipe: the spiders are tossed in a mixture of MSG, sugar, and salt; crushed garlic is fried in oil until fragrant, then the spiders are added and fried alongside the garlic until "the legs are almost completely stiff, by which time the contents of the abdomen are not so runny."[5]
The taste has been described as bland, "rather like a cross between chicken and cod",[1] with a contrast in texture from a crispy exterior to a soft centre. The legs contain little flesh, while the head and body have "a delicate white meat inside".[1] There are certainly those who might not enjoy the abdomen, however, as it contains a brown paste consisting of organs, possibly eggs, and excrement. Some call it a delicacy while others recommend not eating it.[1]
Chocolate covered scorpion apparently has an identical texture to a kit-kat, if not quite the same flavour.
Garibaldi. a.k.a. dead fly biscuits. I hope yours are the proper ones, made with real dead flies.
You forgot to mention that your adopted father needs to be pacified every so often with a plate of juicy fat slowly fried sausages on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes smothered with a thick onion gravy ☺
