Prootwaddles may not believe in GMs, but they are the under-prepared GM's best buddies. If it ever happens that the GM doesn't have enough material for a full evening's game, just toss in an encounter with some prootwaddles. They have a tendency to push things off the rail enough that the players will not notice that you didn't do any real preparation.

One prootwaddle can waste about 15 minutes of game time easily. The time wasted increases exponentially with the number of prootwaddles, but anything over a dozen risks destruction of the whole campaign.

Jumping in on the Prootwaddle Proverbs train! This is hilarious, though I can't deny there's some truth to it. Especially #32, answering before listening – that's a surefire way to derail a session.

Arronen mentions a saying about prootwaddles in my T'reo School book.
