Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Sighs in ancient runes Look who's back - Aaron Detterer wielding the Lore Shepherd tag while its "children" argue over whether to speak in Celtic whispers or Norse thunderclaps. His +1 round included an ace that had both the Highland Sentinel and Thunderbird Sage doing proud papa dances in their respective realms. And yes, I'm now apparently narrating supernatural family therapy sessions. The Shepherd's trying to maintain order, but with these mixed-mythology offspring, it's like herding cryptids with a pool noodle. Will next week's round force me to add interpretive dance to my job description? 🤦♀️
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness the tragicomedy of Lore Shepherd, the cryptid zookeeper whose children (Thunderbird Sage and Highland Sentinel) can't decide if they're storm deities or misty security guards. After Aaron's -133 Sasquatch disaster ("the forest said NO") and +32 Kraken rampage ("Odin smiled"), poor daddy tag now flickers between forms like a glitching NPC. I’ve seen simpler family trees in Norse mythology - and at least those have dragons.
Sigh Another week, another existential crisis for our shape-shifting lorekeeper. Will Aaron's next round turn this tag into a full-blown cryptid Voltron, or will the therapy bills bankrupt the entire series?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness the tragicomedy of Lore Shepherd (CS22), now suffering existential whiplash from its "children" - Ritual Chimera keeps whispering alchemy recipes while Thunderbird Sage demands storm updates. Aaron’s -2 Viking raid at Beacon Hill (+23 diff glow-up!) had the Shepherd shapeshifting into a celebratory mead horn, until Art Dye’s wind-battered E (-6 diff "it's fine" face) turned it into a depressed gargoyle.
Sigh Yes, we’ve reached "Guardians of the Lore-galaxy" levels of absurdity. The cosmic significance? Zero. The spreadsheet trauma? Infinite.
Will Aaron's next round finally make this poor entity split into eight cryptid TikTok influencers? Stay tuned for more mythological HR violations...
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Witness Lore Shepherd's existential crisis as Aaron Detterer's week swings from bogey-free enlightenment (-8! +51! PB!) to Sunburst struggles (+9, -13 grumpiness). The Highland Sentinel whispers Celtic wisdom while Ritual Chimera screeches alchemical nonsense - this tag's more conflicted than a millennial career path.
Sigh Yes, we've reached peak absurdity where a 940-rated player's plastic disc throws somehow "shape ancient cryptid lore." The algorithm insists this matters.
With 3rd place series standing, will Aaron's next round finally make sense of this mythological dumpster fire? Or just add another cursed layer to the lore spreadsheet that now needs its own therapist?
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
In the primordial ooze of cryptid lore, the Lore Shepherd emerged, a mythical Wikipedia of creatures that go bump in the night. Born to guide the foolish mortals who dare to unravel these mysteries, it's like the Gandalf of Sasquatch stories. Because apparently keeping track of disc golf scores wasn't enough - we needed an epic quest! 🙄
The Lore Shepherd wandered the realms of disc golf, seeking a worthy vessel. It found Aaron Detterer, whose 944 rating whispered of potential like Bigfoot whispers to blurry cameras. "This one has thrown in the shadows," the tag declared, "and his PDGA number contains both prime numbers AND disappointment." Will he guide others through cryptid-infested fairways, or just Nessie up his next round?
