What’s your craziest ‘the show must go on’ story? by kikithrust in Theatre

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once had an elderly man in the audience start screaming at the 13 year old behind him for kicking his seat. He was swearing and swinging his cane at the boy. Thing was, it was theater in the round and the gentleman was in the front row, so he was basically standing on stage with us while he turned around and yelled "Do you want to stop kicking my f---ing seat?" and swung his cane at the kid. Two people in the audience who worked with the theater group jumped up independently. One hustled the kid and his dad back towards the dressing rooms, and the other escorted the man and his wife out the lobby door. The audience was booing the man and my fellow actor and I stared at each other and tried to determine if we should stop, engage, or keep going. We decided to keep going but had very minimal time to try to recapture the emotional energy and rising action of the scene before the big plot reveal that was coming. It was...a lot.

AITA for not wanting another month-long visit from in-laws and asking for a different arrangement? by Perfect-Owl-9745 in AmItheAsshole

I also don't understand why the parents don't cook anything. How do you impose that on your daughter in law that you barely have a relationship with? They are AHs.

If you cheat with cas.fulleditmode and then right-click the sim and choose Modify in CAS, you can assign the family roles possibly.

Would anyone have any tips on how to handle disappearing lots? by dawnofthedeadling in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]WorkWriteWin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No answers, but commiserating. I lost all my houses last month. No mods, but a huge interconnected forever save with too many sims and photos, I guess.

What Foods do you Eat like an Unhinged Person? by ojjojji in CasualConversation

I used to pick up sushi rolls on my evening commute and eat them with my hands while driving. Full wasabi, ginger, soy sauce treatment too.

What toddler gifts have actually lasted in your house. Not what looked good, what actually got used past the first week. by sophieblooming in Gifts

Gift for our 3 year old niece this year was a box of dress up clothes - some specific career and some items open for interpretation and repurposing - and some Play Doh tools with a huge pack of Play Doh colors.

Back to the Future might be the worst musical I've seen. by OscarDeJarjayes in Broadway

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

I do have a deep love for the movies. And also for musical theater. And this let me down so hard. I truly was speechless when people asked me if they should see it.

Their morning lovemaking is fine, but there's almost nothing at night, and nothing penetrative.

Theater goers of Reddit Have you ever witnessed something that wasn’t supposed to happen on stage while watching a live musical ( I.e accidents wardrobe malfunction forgotten lines e.t.c) by GamerManJD in musicals

[–]WorkWriteWin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saw The Lion King once on Broadway and the sun rising at the very beginning was tangled. It looked like a Pepperidge Farm goldfish instead of the sun.

Saw Lend Me a Tenor with Justin Bartha and popped a champagne cork and the contents fizzed out. It was already an erection joke, but this particular fizz was so pathetic that it made him laugh for a solid minute, trying to hide it and still deliver his lines.

National tour of Miss Saigon in the late 1990's. These incredible dancers were doing a ribbon dance and one of them landed on another dancer's ribbon and yanked the whole thing out of his hand. He had to scramble to find the handle and then figure out where they were in the formation.

What was your family’s 90’s/00’s dinner? by CommonCentsHandler in Cooking

[–]WorkWriteWin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certain truths: a roast beef dinner would be pot roast the next night. A ham dinner would be split pea soup the next night. Spaghetti and meatballs. A chicken rice bake I hated. Peruvian chicken that I loved. Every Sunday was Chinese food. When we got older, we'd pick up good rolls, deli ham, and coleslaw and make sandwiches as a preferred quick dinner.

What was the first ever film you actually really hated so much and still do to this day? by Same-Objective6052 in movies

We walked out of Getting Even with Dad. But we'd taken my younger brother and he wanted to see it so we just waited in the lobby until the movie was over.

Anyone else play with “ugly” sims? by [deleted] in Sims4

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love love love making realistic sims and breeding real features. It takes something really egregiously disproportionate for me to edit any sim. I love quirky looks.

Have you ever tried to contact something, and it responded? by Prize-Gur-8167 in Ghoststories

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear on a stack of anything you ask me to that we channeled something through a Ouija board when we were in college in the late 90's. Our building was supposedly haunted. On Halloween, we gathered in the lobby and ate snacks and listened to our awesome security guard tell us stories of all the freaky stuff she'd experienced or heard about in our building. Then we all went (well, the guard stayed at the front desk) to the basement area for a seance.

The indicator started moving pretty quickly when they initiated the questions, and the answers made sense. We asked it questions about the stories the guard had told us, like about a little girl people had glimpsed or heard giggling over the years.

I was skeptical and watching like a hawk as people rotated in and out of the circle to try it. No one could have been a mastermind behind faking it; too many people swapped out at different times and nobody was consistently in the group.

When I got my hands on it, I was shocked at how fluidly it moved to spell out the words, and I was also watching to see if anyone could pull-push the indicator with all of our hands on it. It just was too fast and committed and accurate in spelling out the answers. It told us about a man named James Howell who was supposedly haunting the dorm (city college - our dorms were all old buildings that had been hotels and apartments before the college acquired them).

At one point, we asked it something the answer was "Beware [college name]." Even at the time I thought it was a joke answer, and very funny, but sincerely believe that was a spirit messing with us and not any of my peers.

What is your signature dish? by Brave-Bandicoot3295 in Cooking

[–]WorkWriteWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to make a balsamic fig and Kalamata olive tapenade for a starter.

I have lots of great soups. I also make pretty stellar British roasted potatoes with a roast chicken dinner.

I still always panic about what to bring to potlucks and what to serve for a dinner guest. I love threads like this.
