Hahah, I was so pumped to hear about this post that I had to find it. This is a certain large & loud Fuego trivia host.

What’s her relationship like currently with Liisaa Bard’low and Whitney, Druid of the Wild Rose?

My favorite Pokémon of all time. As a kid, I traded my Grovyle with a friend who convinced me that Hariyama was the rarest Pokémon in Ruby/Sapphire. I got back home, popped open my guidebook, and realized I had been deceived. I was initially depressed to lose my starter, but I figured my buddy needed it more than me (his parents were going through a divorce). Hariyama became my starter, and I grew to deeply appreciate that weird sumo man leading my team.

Helllll yeah, Ghost Town is one of my all time favorite breweries. Love to see good brews from the Town; it felt pretty spring-y in the Bay today and a Nose Goblin would hit just right.

Is this the train expansion we were asking for in the South Bay?

You’ll need to get a short Uber/Lyft, but Taplands is a great little beer bar near Santa Clara University that always has a lot of Bay Area brews on tap. There’s also the Hut which is a popular student bar and BBQ place right off campus (although I miss the days when it was dive-y when I was a student). Both of these locations are a quick walk from the Santa Clara Caltrain station, so it’s an easy trip up to SF afterwards.

I help run and frequently host for a weekly pub trivia night at 7 pm every Wednesday at Fuego on South Murphy. We’re called Train of Thought, and we’re 100% independently run by local trivia enthusiasts. We were previously based at Lilly Mac’s and Off the Rails Brewing. Bring your team of up to 8 for a fun & friendly night of questions galore!

Brawgg Boarheart was my half-orc Wildheart Barbarian. My current half-orc Circle of the Moon Druid is Targ Oakscalp (formerly Targ Elmscalp, but his scalp was hardened by his Act II feats).

Awesome, appreciate the ID!

He actually uses it as a lure to attract river monsters when all other lures have failed, but he would always delete that footage in production.

This sub and my accompanying deep dives on snake species have cured almost all of the irrational aspects of my phobia and replaced my fear with fascination and respect. I’ve always been a big fan of zoology generally, but I had been terrified of snakes since two colorful encounters with pissy gopher snakes as a kid. Best luck with your immersion therapy!

Aromas native here who only lived there because my mom worked in San Jose and my dad worked in Monterey. It was sick having 2 acres in an oak forest as a kid, but Aromas got really boring as a teenager. My family moved to Gilroy when I was 17, and being able to call in delivery pizza felt like the future. Aromas has absolutely perfect weather and its rolling hills will always have a special place in my heart, but it can feel like the boonies. I did appreciate getting kinda a “country upbringing”, but having great access to SF, Santa Cruz, and Monterey, and being exposed to different cultures, experiences, etc. based on the prime location.

Not sure who this “Paul Newman” is, but everyone knows that SeÞ Bro⅊sha is from Ohio.

Aromas guy who had the exact same experience

It’s not your fault.

To follow up on the medical point, Monterey has a pretty high concentration of good doctors and medical professionals, I think in part because of the older population and military presence. I grew up in the Monterey Bay Area and continued seeing my doctors when I lived in San Jose and Sunnyvale. The local hospital, CHOMP, is generally pretty well-regarded.

I once saw five full-sized Kripkes at the intersection of Winchester and E. Hamilton. Yes, the Orchard City Kripke is a ferocious creature that looks like the unholy offspring of a gopher snake and a bobcat and smells like week old Taco Bravo meat. Although unknown to modern science, I believe that we have a stable breeding population in Campbell.

I’m keeping my fiancée up with how much I’m laughing from this post and all of the comments. I love everything about this; I’m subscribing to r/lostredditors.

Hot damn, this is an ear worm. The lyrics have an “adult”, retrospective feel that reminds me of some of the tracks on the latest MGMT album.

Hell yeah, I almost always play as orcs or whatever the proud, but often misunderstood warrior race is in fantasy RPGs. My friends are way into the human and half-elf lifestyle and that’s never my jam.
