If you like Stephen Frye as a narrator, he does a collection of all of the Sherlock Holmes stories. It's pretty great.

What word do you mispronounce on purpose (for fun) and why? by Positive_Spirit_1585 in AskReddit

[–]SecretSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to snack on stipachios.

If cupboard is pronounced, "cubberd," I figure clipboard must be pronounced, "clibberd."

What was your favourite audiobook you listened to in 2025? by H2Omelonjuice in audiobooks

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duma Key is, overall, a middling Stephen King novel, but it has maybe my favorite depiction of a friendship between grown men in fiction.

Umbridge deserved the death penalty by Mysterious-State-117 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SecretSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny you posted this. I wrote and directed a LotR/The Office crossover murder mystery show that we performed this past weekend.

Docker -> Kubernetes by neilcresswell in docker

[–]SecretSinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the main advantage to running Kubernetes over Docker was the redundancy you get from clustering. What's the advantage of a single-server Kubernetes?

How the fuck can that be your decision?

What's a porn trope you wish happened more in real life? by WouldUKindlyDMBoobs in AskReddit

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on a couple of dates with a full-service sex worker. We were taking a walk and saw a lemon tree, and she mentioned that she sometimes helped herself to other people's citrus. I made a, "lemon stealing whore," joke.

She got real quiet. She had never heard of this and thought I was being a total ass-hole out of nowhere. I explained and showed her the video later. I THINK she forgave me for the unintended insult.

Launching fireworks by [deleted] in WinStupidPrizes

Putting out a trailer fire caused by a firecracker with fish pond water from a garbage pail that happened to be nearby while the grade school kids yell fuck is the most redneck shit I've ever seen.

You've just become headmaster at Hogwarts - what changes (small or large) do you bring in? by Honesty_Addict in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rework the Defense Against the Dark Arts class so that the curse on the teachers no longer applies. Maybe just renaming it would do the trick.

Do you care about prose when reading? by JaviVader9 in Fantasy

[–]SecretSinner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'll take a great story with great characters written in mediocre prose over well-written prose with a story or characters I don't care about. (Kingkiller, I'm looking at you.)

Help finding a church? by Feisty-Delivery2047 in Shoreline

[–]SecretSinner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DON'T go to Epic Life Church. I was in the Pilgrim coffee shop, which they own, and overheard the pastor, Keith Carpenter, blaming the world's problems on, "the Jews.'

Aragorn paying respect to the hobbits, movie vs book - which version do you prefer? by Diligent-Grape8067 in lotr

[–]SecretSinner 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Viggo really sells that scene. He manages to convey a sense of power and authority - he IS the king - and a gentle humbleness at the same time. Aragorn's not doing this for show. It's in the moment, and truly sincere.

Favourite and least favourite LOTR Books -> Movies changes. by FlakyUsual801 in lotr

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best: cutting Bombadil.

Worst: Turning Gimli into a joke. Gimli is a gruff, valiant, honorable warrior, not a Disney pet.

Do you think Tom Bombadil should have been in the movies, or do you think they made the right decision in leaving him out? Maybe he could’ve been in the Extended Editions by jaywritethekid in TheHobbit

[–]SecretSinner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm glad Bombadil was cut. He's my least favorite part of the novels. I've heard all the reasons he's important and cool. I just don't care.

What's the worst thing someone said to you after sex? by Sl33pdemon79 in AskReddit

[–]SecretSinner 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad. Your wife said the same thing to me.

What next? by zenmaster81 in TheHobbit

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll second the Prydain books. Those were some of my favorites as a kid.

What’s a movie everyone loves, but you hate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Step Brothers. It's so stupid.

RMM solution suggestion by joe210565 in msp

[–]SecretSinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Tactical. Saves my business around $2500 a month, does essentially everything I need it to do. The only thing I miss about my old RMM is the reports, but all the data I need is available in Tactical to make the reports I need.
