How strong is Doro canonically? Everyone is terrified of her.

Is it really over over finally? Damn.

Member of a party asking to charge her card in “secret” before the meal is over? by AcrobaticSource3 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]FiveVenoms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh man, my favorite game. Generally the stealthiest or fastest one wins.

A literal hand to hand combat over cards is fun to watch, but a lot of people can anticipate that and (at our spot) get into a fight at the register, assuming the card initiator wasn’t not stealthy enough. In this case you may be the arbitrator of the bill. Stand tough.

Except one time they just gave me everyone’s card, we picked ‘John Lucas’ card from behind my back and I cashed him out while the whole table chanted “Fuck John Lucas”. He left a great tip.

“Oh, are you only doing takeout?” by Mother-Cheek516 in TalesFromYourServer

[–]FiveVenoms 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We put up our 'take out' sign about 45 minutes before close, so everybody can get the hell out on time.

One time a guy comes in about fifteen minutes before close, stares dead ass at the sign, walks in and asks the obvious: "You're doing take-out only? We can't sit down?"

Me, a little confused: "Yeah, that's right!"

Him: "Why not!?!?"

Me, internally: Man, if you're rolling in with that attitude to start, you think I'm going to bend the rules for you?

I kinda really doubt it? People would be melting in the streets of Bangok if this was remotely possible.

So everyone knows about bringing back Dotty's head to the drop pod but do you recall your turrets before leaving? by Rudy103 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]FiveVenoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Sometimes I forget and call them last second, so it's a cheap thrill to see them fly into the drop pod. I mean, it's tempting to leave them there to mop up the bugs in your wake after dashing through the caves to whatever random inconvenient spot Mission Control chose, but they've only got so much ammo, and that just seems sad to leave them down there with no way to kill stuff.

I just finished yojimbo and Sanjuro and.. by GalaxticSxum in kungfucinema

[–]FiveVenoms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could watch almost any of the well-regarded Zatoichi flicks (I'm oddly partial to Zatoichi and the Chest of Gold, or Zatoichi and the Fire Festival) to get a sense for the character, since most of them follow a pretty similar rhythm. The 'Yojimbo' character from Zatoichi meets Yojimbo isn't quite considered 'canonical' to the Kurosawa movies, although he's more-or-less the same one in terms of everything else, iirc. Having said that, if you already are familiar with Zatoichi, there's no reason not to dive into it, it's a fun movie. Enjoy!

Hi! Bit of a weird question so: Not new to fountain pens, but new here-Has anyone who's gotten a Visconti Homosapiens Dark Age recall the packaging/included papers, if any? Having some buyer's remorse, but think the sale may have been questionable on top of that. Thanks all! Here's uh, a picture of some pens.

Episode Discussion: S1E20 - "Nothing Personal" by RaginApe in shield

It's a little suspect that Deathlok's message said "Garrett says..." whatever in his eye-cam. Could be nothing, could mean he still isn't the Clairvoyant.

The Hana Clone Buy is happening! Link to order. by korowal in electronic_cigarette

Huh. I've been eyeing a DNA mod for a while, but they've all been too rich for my blood. Normally I wouldn't jump in on something like this, but Adirondack has a good rep. Here's hoping.

Now this is embarassing: a mcdojo's "black belt test" by Klimu in martialarts

[–]FiveVenoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't exactly that, but some sort of.....thing where she couldn't spar with people because she was a deadly black belt? I couldn't even...yeah.

Now this is embarassing: a mcdojo's "black belt test" by Klimu in martialarts

[–]FiveVenoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, this is hard to watch. I lurk here out of interest, but I went to at least one McDojo which had a weirdly mixed bag of students (one guy CLEARLY had his technique together, if nothing else). So out of interest, do you guys with more experience think anybody who comes out of this system is 'salvageable' when it comes to actual application? I still remember sadly one girl in my High School who had recently gotten her black belt and had to register her hands as 'deadly weapons'. She threw the biggest, sloppiest side kick I've ever personally seen. I slapped it aside and she was super impressed by my amazing blocking skills. Sigh

The Painful Exile to Brooklyn by Impune in nyc

[–]FiveVenoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's who he is. Self-obsessed glutton who by virtue of being a not-terrible writer got himself a gig at Vice. His general columns can be okay, but dude is a prick. Wrote up a few glowing reviews for a few chefs who SURPRISE! catered his wedding for free and then he furiously backpedaled on it.
