Ox-tongue arrack
The titular variety of arrack was on display (amid more comprehensible varieties such as chicory, licorice, and garlic) at the Iranian market I went to today to get some goat (success! also, they had calf hearts!). I'll assume for the sake of my sanity that "ox-tongue" is the name of some tonguey flower or something.
Having determined how to complete the costume-components I have already in my possession for an upcoming halloween party, I face the challenge that the missing item will likely prove hard to locate. Therefore, I offer the following applicatory prayer:
I want you, a sickle or a scythe
A sickle or a scythe for a human sacrifice
A human sacrifice to the dieties above
The dieties above so they'll shower us with love.
If anyone has a lead on sickles or scythes (and not some pusillanimous plastic piece o' shit, either; I'm not going to take half measures—ganz oder gar nicht), pls to let me know.

Would that a sickle/scythe-man help this wry man's costume to prepare.

In the end resources weren't that hard to find, but do I really want to pay $90 for a scythe? I could get a comparatively lame sickle for only $18.

"Dieties"?

Don't know what you're talking about.

This looks like a possibility. Probably have to tape up the cutting edge.
