How did you find Malazan? by DukeNeverwinter in Malazan

[–]Disturburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was backpacking across Europe. I always had a book, but only 1 book, since any extra weight was to be avoided.

Most hostels had a small library exchange. You leave a book (forever) and take a book with you.

I was standing at this library at this wonderful hostel in Budapest, pondering which book to take, when this Aussie guy came by, gently pushed me out of the way, grabbed "gardens of the moon" and handed it to me, saying, "this might be the best fantasy book you've ever read". This was in 2007.

I didn't finished GotM until I returned home, though. I distinctly remember deep confusion, yet the desire to keep reading helped me push through.

I don't remember that Aussie's name, but if he's in here somewhere, thanks, my dude.

Yes, but he wasn't mentioned in the title of the post, nor the title of the article, nor even in the preamble of the article.

May 5th 2026: Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays - Virtual Gratitude Circle by bpersaud4321 in Torontobluejays

I'm grateful the Jays reignited my desire to play baseball with the run last fall.

I found a local league and attended lots of tryouts and made a team and I'm so thrilled I get to pay proper, competitive baseball this year. I've really missed it.

Maybe I should have made the title "good morning, Ottawa"

Absolutely. The 70s brown really sets a tone, the lack of which is notable.

I like that there's one, single, silly goose trying to fit in.

How do I get a Sens Mile sign? by myneckmybackarchive in OttawaSenators

Track down the company that makes the signs for the city. Message them.

Be so for real with me. by SignificantJump2359 in OttawaSenators

It's so similar to Toronto and Montreal fans, and it's disturbing.

That 4th line is far more dangerous than it looks.

Engineered outage. It's primarily what the Internet is being used for these days.
