I suppose that's true in the general case :P

Sometimes, a little pinch of coffee grounds can enhance a brown sauce. A
micro pinch.

He warned you! It is bad to keep making Mr Flibble want to shift into
parody mode enterprises. Fwiw, for some reason, this kind of reminds me
of the Cruel Puppet's in Zork:

____________________________
CRUEL PUPPET
 
Few creatures are more despised than the cruel puppet, one which uses
its power not for good, evil or profit, but simply to hurt people's
feelings. Staunch monarchs have been reduced to tears by these merciless
shapeshifters; for it attacks by twisting itself into unflattering
caricatures of its opponents, accompanied by jeers, rude noises and
shocking accusations--which include the recital of nightly personal
habits in excruciating detail, accusing its adversary's mother of
shocking improprieties, reminding of weight gain, etc. They have also
been known to practice existential put downs. "You're so ugly you're
probably the creation of an unseen master who is controlling and shaping
the world around you. Nothing is real and nothing you do will have any
lasting effect on those around you. Welcome to the dark night of your
soul" is but one example. More often, however, they just insult your
knees. Insulting the cruel puppet in return is futile, for it feeds off
of them. Straining to ignore these verbal attacks is the only known
defense.
 
Residents of Gurth City were warned during the mid-tenth century to keep
away from the Forest of Youth, as it was known home to cruel puppets.
 
During the Great Monster Uprising of the Second Age of Magic, cruel
puppets were reported in the following regions: The abandoned Casino of
Port Foozle, The Southern Wastes, The Coast Road near Borphee, Pheebor,
Forest of Youth, Gurth Woodland Trail, the Lost Castle of Y'Syska, Crab
Island, Egreth Castle, The Glass Maze, Bozbarland, Largoneth Castle, and
the G.U.E. Tech Training Grounds in the Ethereal Plane of Atrii. Many
perched in trees and other high and covert corners, raining handfuls of
exploding chestnuts down upon luckless adventurers.

I do not like it when people make fun of Rick's mother. That is wrong.
No matter how bad Rick can seem, imho, his family is off limits. Bad
mojo. Bad Karma? Wrt going down that "devilish" route of debating.
