Adam Thorsen - Noah's Archipelago

Pictionary

February 7, 2024December 7, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

It’s like rain on your wedding day, it’s like a bad Pictionary clue that Noah just can’t make. It might have also helped if Noah hadn’t gotten the videos for “Ironic” and “Thank You” all mixed up, but hey, it’s not like the kids know what Noah’s talking about anyway.

Risk

I hate Risk, too, Ursula… and for the same reason: I always lose to my big brother, too.

Thorsen Family Game Night

February 7, 2024December 5, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Ursula, Duke, and Adam are all sitting on the sofa and their dad Noah is standing in front of them carrying a stack of boardgames in his arms. Noah says, "OK, everyone gets to pick a game." Ursula says, "Pictionary!" Duke says, "Risk." Adam grins and says, "Blackjack!" Irritated, Noah tells Adam, "A normal game, Adam. Not a casino game." Ursula then scowls and asks Adam, "Do I need to know math to play blackjack?" Adam is annoyed and rolls his eyes, asking her, "Can't you count to 21 yet?" Noah reiterates, "There will be no casino games at Thorsen Family Game Night!" Adam scowls and crosses his arms and retorts, "You're just mad I whupped you at poker last month."

Yes, Adam, Noah is still mad about the poker loss.

Nickelback Baby

Ursula learns a bit about how her brothers came to be and draws her own conclusions.

Duke might be the little brother but he has the bigger mouth.

Noah’s Secret Roomba

June 12, 2024October 11, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Noah's efficiency knows no bounds, ditto his sneakiness.

Noah and Adam discuss how Noah gets all the vacuuming done while still having time to watch his soaps.

The Giant Skeleton

June 12, 2024October 5, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Noah and Adam decorate for Halloween, much to Agnes' annoyance.

Agnes always makes time to complain, except for when Ursula’s around and she has to fake like she isn’t pissed off at Noah.

The Not-So-Nudie Beach

June 12, 2024October 3, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Noah and Gigi's tales of having frequented the nude beach ruin Adam's appetite for lunch (and beyond).

Much like his ex-wife Gigi, Noah refuses to even consider that there comes a time and a place to no longer discuss one’s time at the ol’ nudie beach… and certainly an audience that doesn’t wish to hear about such things.

Lacemaking With Ruth

June 12, 2024September 22, 2022 by Pyra Draculea

Adam is learning to make bobbin lace from Ruth and being gleeful to have escaped bass duty.

Careful, Adam: bobbin lace is just the gateway drug. Next she’ll be pushing Irish crochet. Eventually, she’ll get you hooked on the hard stuff like needlelace.
