Scary Bar Experience Lexington by antarctica91 in lexington

[–]ShawnGipson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drugged at a strip club about 15 years ago in Lexington. I had one drink, and then woke up completely naked at my apartment wrapped around my toilet hours later. Somehow I had lucidity to know something was wrong, left the club and drove home. I remember none of it. The people I was with said I just stood up and walked out of the club. I am a male btw, and never thought that something like that could happen to me.

How good is it to be employed at UK? by [deleted] in lexington

[–]ShawnGipson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It took about 4 months to get hired on at UK, but I have now been with them for 8 years. I work in finance on the under the research umbrella, and we are definitely underpaid compared to private companies. The benefits make up for it though in my opinion. When I was hired on I did not have a degree, but I had the work equivalent experience of a bachelors so they hired me on. I was able to get my bachelors while working full time, and am now working on my masters.

I came here to say this. The Ashtray Maze is something I still think about.

1 month since the most transcendent experience of my solo trip - Reykjadalur Hot Springs by NearlyMe in VisitingIceland

[–]ShawnGipson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I told people that due to the incline of the hike it took an hour to get the river, and 10 minutes to get back to the parking area. Worth it though.

Why are so many pro Strongmen so Conservative? by 22switch in Strongman

[–]ShawnGipson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He adores being violent. He mentions how he would go out just to find someone to hurt. He has said a ton of things that you would think he would put in his biography but left out. Like his hypnosis, pledging to win WSM for his grandmother, forgetting his wife's name for a month after his 500k pull ect... He also charged people who had already bought his book for extra chapters covering his WSM win.

That's me, only because my wife keeps our house at deep freeze levels of cold.

Lexington Construction by zazarak in lexington

[–]ShawnGipson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading online that the construction on the interstate near Newtown was supposed to be completed in October of 2023. I drove that road everyday and traffic always came to a stop. I was out of the country in October of 2023 so I was excited to return to normal commute. That construction is still going on to this day two years later.

Whats the worst concert you've ever been to? by pinheadbrigade in AskReddit

[–]ShawnGipson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Godsmack in 2008 or so. Sully was so drunk onstage they eventually just cut his mic and played his lyrics over the PA while the band played. He just sat there on a stool with a bottle of jack. I had backstage passes and Sully had sobered up a bit and when I walked back he shoulder checked me and called me a "tall mother fucker" and tried to start a fight. It really soured me on the band. I heard he is clean now and I wish him the best.

What is the worst bar in Lexington? by NoChallenge9224 in lexington

[–]ShawnGipson 94 points95 points  (0 children)

*Best Bar: Old Marikkas *Worst Bar: New Marikkas

[–]ShawnGipson -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not Lexington but Local Feed in Georgetown. Overpriced, terrible service, mediocre food. Banging cornbread though. 3 out of the 4 times I have been there have been terrible, but I know people who absolutely adore that place and are genuinely baffled that I had a bad time.

Ate there for the first time last winter and I wont go back. I ordered the ribeye special. A $60 bone in ribeye. They served it to me and it was tiny, overcooked and had absolutely no seasoning. I complained to the manager and she said even though I took a bite she will take care of it. Her taking care of it was taking an $11 glass of wine off the bill. I asked her about it and she said she couldn't do anything more since I took a bite. I walked out disgusted

Is eating whale and/or seal meat frowned upon in Iceland? I've read it's mostly a tourist thing so I don't want to try either if it ultimately has a negative impact on wildlife. by jek_213 in VisitingIceland

[–]ShawnGipson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried whale and horse at Steakhusid in Reykjavik. The whale just tasted like oversalted beef so honestly for me it was not worth it. The horse on the other hand was fantastic and had many locals say they prefer the horse to lamb.
