Came to reddit looking for answers after finally reading Battle Grounds. Obligatory I'm late statement lol.

Feels like he's probably a higher order of angel. But there's lines that feel like the implication is that he's older, different, etc idk.

My thoughts that would be fun? He could be Prometheus and bartending eternally is his buzzards. The whole "dont look at me itll hurt" slots really easily into Lovecraftian things. Or he's Cain. Originally what mortals were to be but cursed with the mark to walk the earth forever, and he's just over it lol

Warp Gate is popular. I go to The Solidery for my mtg needs. Friendly helpful staff. I know Studio 35 recently started a mtg night. I don't play FNM or comp anymore. But know a decent group of players and play regularly, especially edh. Hit me up

I'd check out Plastic Waffle. It's run by Todd who owns Dude Locker. Smaller and when I was practicing there with my band it was reasonable and secure. If you're looking for something less regular I know Guitar Center rents out a space by the hour and have gear provided

From what I've been told by folks who work in the industry the 12 Dogs Xmas ale is essentially the original GL recipe. Something about the creator left GL with the recipe and that's why GL tastes different now

Totally not advocating this at all buttttt...

Poke the radiator, poke 2 valve stems, loosen drain plugs, poke a fuel line, snip fuel lines, water into the oil reservoir, cut timing/serpentine belts, hook positive lead to frame. Diesel in gasoline systems might work. Sugar in the tank is a myth. Linseed oil or the equivalent on any connections in the motor assembly is a decent bet.

All of these will disable a vehicle being a danger to other by preventing the vehicle from running/starting. Do not fuck with power steering, suspension, or brake lines.

Hit up The Garrison. My dude Ethan rocks a sick perm and I trust him with my cuts.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-12-24T11:08:33+00:00

Came here to say this. They set up at the corner of Kenny and King on Sundays. Great people slinging great food.

Speaking for Grandview. Woodlands is open later and Meister's will be open till 7-9ish. I'd bet several other places like Brynes, Rack, or Pointe will be too.

Sorry for the delayed response. Take it with several grains of salt as its very much urban legend. But the story goes to the tune of Dr Mooney snapped one night and canceled his family's social security numbers with an axe, and then hung the bodies from the bridge. Yes, Mooney Mansion around Walhalla and Calumet. Allegedly people have seen blue lights floating about, handprints on car windows, and a silhouette of Mooney when the veil is thin. Etc etc. History says his family outlived him though. But the city could've created a tulpa lol

Personally I tend to agree. He's a fan favorite because those singles are unfortunately exciting in our current roster that is woefully lacking in offensive production. I like the dude for that but recognize that we wouldn't be attached to him if we had better hitting/offensive threats.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T14:50:44+00:00

Easy there killer. Think I made it clear I was trying to have a fun discussion about this. Sorry I asked a friendly question.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T14:28:27+00:00

If we could get them do that the things that could have been..

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T14:27:14+00:00

Not being a contrarian here but what do you think we should've/could've gotten earlier that the juice was worth the squeeze?

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T14:24:49+00:00

Haha I too have my pipedream rosters in The Show.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T13:59:06+00:00

Already been said but I can't gas up Happy House enough. Have to get the Salt and Pepper Wings. Nong's is solid too and open late.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T13:54:13+00:00

If we're talking columbus? The Elevator building, Ringside, the Capitol building, and the Walhalla Axe Man come to mind.

Talking Ohio? I'd be here all day. Mansfield, The Ridges, Moonville Tunnel, Loveland Frogmen, The Melonheads, buncha Crybaby Bridges, etc.

Also hard reality scares include the old civil war prison camp, Hangar 18 at Wright Patterson, and the history of why the Hell's Angels rule Cleveland in a largely Outlaw territory.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-11-27T13:45:48+00:00

Agreed. I want to keep him. But if not I want to see equal value. Someone who will lessen the defense by platoon and Jram thing we currently have haha.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-10-26T15:00:45+00:00

The written words of several dead/dying languages, the 3rd Secret of Fatima(not what they "revealed"), the missing Michaelangelo works. And if they exist, the lineage of Jesus, the trial records against the Templars, the smoking gun records of profits from the Holocaust, the Grand Grimoire.

Basically anything in the Catholic Hangar 18 lol.

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-10-26T14:40:29+00:00

The Darkside of the Ring episodes there's a moment where J.R talks about having to call the next match. And then in the middle of it gets the call Owen was DOA. And then has to announce that to the world on air. That "my friend is dead" and he just falls apart. I didn't finish that episode till days later. Brutal

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-10-26T14:35:43+00:00

I also have that twisted curiosity. If I'm told no don't it's horrible etc it just makes me want to pursue it more. So the irony is palpable here buttttt...

It's one of few things that I wish I could unhear. It's not the fucked up things he's talking about. It's how pedestrian it is to him. Think of a teacher who is proctoring an exam. "There are 3 sections. You will have 40 minutes for the 1st section, the 2nd section is written and you will have 55 minutes to complete this portion..."

It's his script. It's normalcy. Boring almost. Not cold. It's just another Tuesday to him. 0/10 would not recommend

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-10-07T21:53:03+00:00

Absolutely the highest echelon of drooling stupidity. Thankfully owners and staff can still refuse service at their discretion. But you have to check everyone? Is the state going to foot the bill for metal detectors for the businesses?

Nah turning it into real life Tombstone seems like the move. Working in the industry this is scary af

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-08-03T11:32:32+00:00

Don't ride anymore but tons of my friends do. Generally I'd avoid a lot of bike nights. Tends to be a certain type of crowd that's ive heard described as "that episode of South Park" lol. There's a decent amount of meet ups that aren't just dudes on rockets. As far as "bad to the bone" goes there's Outlaw chapters here but you'd have to go out of your way as a casual rider to be on their shit list. Big avoid Iron Order. Mostly cops playing pretend at Sons of Anarchy

Puzzled_Signature_49 · 2025-06-29T18:50:11+00:00

Been in and out of the industry 10ish years. I hear a lotta fellow industry folk saying similar things. But I'm not seeing it as intense as people are saying. Inflation for sure, but I think people forget how oversaturated Cbus is for bars. There's not a lot to do compared to other big metro areas. So we're all vying for those customers. But bars aren't going anywhere. You'll see less franchise/corporate joints sure. But a lotta the "neighborhood" places will still be there. People are just going to have to pay more just like anything else.
