50. Instead of using the expression"OMG" or "By God!" you use, "By the9 Divines!"

When you eat the Fly argric (Amanita Muscaria) Mushroom you wonder why in stead to having it restore your health you are actually seeing Daedra spawn in front of you.

if you didn't know That mushroom is the only legal Hallucinogenic mushroom
in the US and many people eat it without knowing about its......fourth ingredient property.

Lol, that just reminded me.

61. Whenever you're fighting someone in combat, you say, "I'VE FOUGHT MUD CRABS TOUGHER THAN YOU!" You also say, when you think they have 100%Resist Magicka and Normal Weapons, "WHY... WON'T... YOU DIEEEE!"
