My first thought was "tar season, is that you again?"

(Anonymous) 2014-05-29 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It's starting to feel like these tar season-style secrets are somehow slipping in from another universe that is almost, but not quite like our own.

Although this one I think might just be a mistranslated idiom or something.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-29 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
DA

So, let's recap:

- This alternate universe has a "tar season" during which the roads are impassable. (Due to being on fire?)

- This is the main cuisine: http://en.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCabbage_soup_diet

- Crabs apparently hang out at higher elevations, and fall on people's heads.

Are we counting the "field fires of my youth" secret? Was that one ever explained?

(Anonymous) 2014-05-29 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
AYRT

Knew I forgot something!

- Fields regularly catch fire.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-29 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
ayrt

I'm gonna go with due to being on fire.

There was another secret people thought was tar season anon that involved hazing and being put in "the spud hut" (I don't have that one bookmarked, so I'm not 100% sure). Maybe either there's a lot of potato cellars around or they really like this one restaurant from Princeton, Indiana

(Anonymous) 2014-05-29 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
AYRT

The spud hut! They have pretzels AND potatoes!

...wait. IT'S LATVIA.

We're halfway through the worldbuilding for our fantasy novel.

I think we should start documenting these tantalizing glimpses into that universe, and try to understand more about it.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-30 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
+1

I'll be honest, I'm going a little spreadsheet anon here and making a list of these things. I can only hope to someday understand what tar season is like.

It's a worthy contribution to the cause.

Then we should compile like a creepypasta about it or something, though I'm not so sure it's actually creepy XD

Did you see the GC thread about another tar season secret that predates the actual tar season one?

I posted about this elsewhere, but I think I just found tar season anon's first efforts:

http://i60.tinypic.com/10dslco.jpg

References to spud and cabbage clothes, field burning time and road melt. This has to be the same person, right?

I saved this image on the 26th of June '13 for reference. TAR SEASON ANON HAS BEEN ACTIVE FOR THAT LONG GUYS. OMG.

Woah. That has GOT to be the same person.

No mention of crabs, though.

(Anonymous) 2014-05-30 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
OMG, I don't even remember that one! I am impressed by Tar Season Anon.

These secrets give me life.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought, "Are we back at feeding cabbages to Thor?"

(Anonymous) 2014-05-29 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Does anyone have the link to the original Tar Season secret? I'd love to read it again.

First recorded sighting of tar season anon:

(Anonymous) 2014-05-30 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
I posted about this in the general comments, but I think I found another one of tar season's secrets, this one about Rory from Dr Who:

...and this also confirms that all of those secrets were made by the same person. You're a credit to the community, anon!

Re: First recorded sighting of tar season anon:

(Anonymous) 2014-05-30 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, seriously! Thank you, anon, both for remembering that and sharing it!

Re: First recorded sighting of tar season anon:

(Anonymous) 2014-05-30 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
DA

Okay, buuuuuuuuuut I think "field burning time" is, like, an actual thing. I.e., something to do with changing the crops and/or burning the weeds preparatory to planting? Something like that.

....I got nothing on the spud-and-cabbage clothing, unless anon is referring to particular gear to wear while digging in the dirt (which you have to do for potatoes)...

Or sugar cane burning - it's done to burn off leaves and random crap before the harvesters come in.

I recall rather vividly passing a cane-field burning while on an overnight bus to Sydney. It's pretty damn noticeable when it happens after dark, and the highway runs right next to the cane fields.
