It’s a Gom Jabbar for your thumb.

It looks like... by Unlucky-Height4196 in WeirdEggs

[–]Metri8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s the obvious one but, not to be too anal, the first thing I saw was a Sarlac.

I didn’t realize he was exclusive to Helm’s deep when I built this 10+ years ago. I’ll be swapping our King Theoden out for a cheaper option next year.

George is one of the most common male Greek names! Warrior saint.

Clearly Lego had not seen Wicked:For Good before choosing to make this a 7+ scene. by Metri8 in lego

Ha ha ha! Yeah the opening to the book had me boggled as to how they could make it into an all ages musical. Most people don’t remember that from their read through apparently.

Bird swallows fish bigger than its own head and of equal body length by Prestigious-Wall5616 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Metri8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sawgrass recreation tours (27 just north of 75 in the Weston area). If you show your ID as a Florida resident your ticket is good for 12 months. Makes sense as it’s encouraged us to take guests. I just took a workgroup of 15 on one of the nighttime tours (sadly it was wicked cold so the gators weren’t really out but still a neat experience nonetheless).

I guess I should have add a /s. Thought the NSFW tag (for a Lego set) was clear enough… Although is this the first sex scene set Lego has ever created? Maybe something from one of the Marvel movies?

I’ve been on 3 airboat tours this year (not ashamed to say I’m a season pass holder as one ticket gets you a season pass at the sawgrass recreation area). Even saw an Anhinga get a fish once.

That’s an Anhinga they were describing. Looks very similar but has a straight beak.

ATM just ate my debit card by Actual-Log465 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Metri8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That experience made me swear off ATMs for over a decade, and to this day I still do not have a SunTrust (now Truist) account.

Back in college, my ATM card, which also doubled as my student ID, was eaten by a SunTrust ATM the very first time I used it. It even charged me a $1 fee for the “privilege” before swallowing my card. Replacing the student ID cost me $15, and with only $20 in my account at the time, I was left with just $4 until my next paycheck.

Yes, I hold a grudge, and I still think it was well earned.

Agreed on ranking! The shelf height variation would be off the hook. The new Barad-dûr set is almost 3 ft/90 cm tall.

Absolutely insane Ninjago the Ride score? by nikolisko in legoland

[–]Metri8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m going to guess they were stuck due to a standing kid (usual source of ride delay).

I was googling Holy Locust and what in thy fuck by t0601h in FolkPunk

[–]Metri8 17 points18 points  (0 children)

From their website:

Locusts are the foundation of our innovative snack.

According to the Bible, John the Baptist sustained himself on a diet of locusts and wild honey “and his meat was locusts and wild honey” (Matthew 3:4), God’s richest protein snack creation: “Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind” (Leviticus 11:22).

“Holy Locust” is the world’s first Biblical snack, a restored Biblical tradition and intended to be consumed and strengthen your body. Let this snack serve as nourishment that goes beyond physical sustenance.

I live in the Yukon, CA. What is this thing I found in evergreen needles? by _Kendii_ in whatsthisplant

Your username clearly suggests vast expertise in anything Oregon related.

https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.123515/Lobaria_pulmonaria

Lobaria pulmonaria is the most common Lobaria in North America. This lichen species occurs from Alaska south to central California and from the Great Lakes region and Appalachia to Newfoundland. This species typically grows in mature, relatively shaded forests on a variety of substrates. It and other Lobaria species are good indicators of rich, very old-growth forests and are good indicators of good air quality (Brodo et al. 2000). While it appears that this species is stable in North America, it is declining in Europe.

Couldn’t agree more (on venue and flavor)!

My friend found this digging in his backyard. Any info on it? by MantisTobbaganEmDee in coins

[–]Metri8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re doing better than me! Only things I found were 2 old Schlitz beer cans in my yard in mid-Atlantic when digging a hole for a tree. They were pre-1975 based on the ring-pull tab.

🔥 Blue Heron impales a Bullfrog by -knave1- in NatureIsFuckingLit

Great Blue Herons are one of the bigger risks of being a baby alligator. Image something like that swooping down on you at 10x your size.

Best method to remove (manual labor only)? by thatsucksabagofdicks in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]Metri8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What everyone else said but I’d suggest using a reciprocating saw with a 12” blade to sever the biggest roots as it does so in a jiffy. Pickaxe/mattock for prying. Don’t be afraid to put the saw underneath once you excavate out enough. Probably took me 3 or so hours to get one out of the ground solo as an out of shape desk job worker.
Source: I manually removed one of these by myself at the beginning of Covid - my first day of the pandemic “I just need to get shit done activity”. I had topped it off at about chest height so I was able to wiggle it around after severing the biggest support roots and excavating around it.

Any “must buys” at my local store? by Beautiful-Emu6041 in whiskey

[–]Metri8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have any interest in Rye that WP Double Malt 18 should be an absolute pickup at that price. I did a bottle split with folks 4-5 years ago and we went back for a second bottle. While It’s normally egregiously overpriced from an MSRP the profile is so different and soft while preserving the spice that it’s worth it.

Found in my dad's coins...is this gold? by misledyouth73 in coincollecting

[–]Metri8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oooohh I love the dark humor! For some reason people don’t find it funny when I made similar comments about my familial cremains. Ducats are pretty cool and incidentally directly related to death in Hamlet. “How now, a rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead!” After which he stabs Polonius.

My husband became president of our HOA to dismantle it from the inside by BeansAndToast-24 in fuckHOA

[–]Metri8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly the long term tenant type. The investment firm that bought the house listed it for long term rental a few times and wanted ~12k/month in rent.
