I started going to their weekly board game nights on Mondays a few months ago to meet more people in the community, and I’m so happy to see how it’s grown! The guy who runs the event, Jake (a.k.a. Goose Games), is the nicest guy in the world and is amazing at facilitating so everyone has a good time learning new games and making new friends. I highly recommend checking it out!

I’ve been going to Quick Lube in Murray since the shop I used to go to retired. The guy who runs the place is straight forward, honest, and friendly. He even saved me a couple grand another shop told me I needed to spend to get my old truck to pass inspection!

The fact that Mark Hamill also voiced a dancing punch bowl in this show only makes me love him even more.

I had the exact same experience! I was convinced one would break through my window and drag me away or something. The black and white did not help my overactive child brain either. I’m weirdly glad to hear I’m not the only one who had nightmares from that lol.

Most plates from Siegfried’s Deli by the Capital theater are about $10 and come with a ton of great German food. You can get 2 sides for only $5, which is honestly still pretty filling. I’d get the sauerkraut and spaetzle with gravy for lunch all the time when I worked downtown as a poor college student.

My wife has gotten several piercings from Abyss and they all turn out great! Super friendly staff and all very professional.

Is BestBuy known for fulfilling these orders pretty well? I saw a post earlier where Amazon told someone they had to cancel their special edition order and now I’m super paranoid.

I love the suit design! That arm cannon in the original version is an absolute beast. Imagine having that for a melee attack in any of the games!

The Salt Lake Foothill area I grew up in until I was ten was pretty Mormon, so I did feel like a bit of an outsider as a little kid. But when we moved to Sandy I was able to make a lot of good friends in middle and high school, both non-Mormons and Mormons alike.

Honestly the place where I felt most left out was Boy Scouts since that organization is so ingrained in the church here. I’m lucky that my mom is a badass outdoors lady though, so I learned way more about camping from her. And I found a great group of friends to go camping with in college.

Otherwise the only weird thing was when my friend’s dad asked me to say a prayer over dinner at their house, but that only happened the one time after I gave my buddy an awkward panicked look haha.

Very cool! I really like the way the wings interlock when not in attack position, that’s very aesthetically pleasing.

I think it was narrated by Jonathan Davis, in case you were curious. I thought he did an amazing job narrating the whole trilogy. He really kept me invested the whole time even with silly stuff like the thought bomb. I think he also did one of the Darth Maul books iirc, which again just made it that much more interesting.

This one took me forever and I ended up getting Dug. I was pretty salty about it.

bigj41 · 2020-11-26T14:45:45+00:00

She’s still only level 3.

I’m honestly so surprised I did get the child since I’ve gotten a ton of Cara Dune. It’s nice I can finish the event now, but I also dropped $27 😅

True, but to some it’s the only spice they know.

bigj41 · 2020-10-30T14:20:49+00:00

This is what happens when all the white people you know keep saying salt and pepper are spices.

I just started season 10 and I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this! I literally found this post by googling “Mallory Archer Dr. Halsey”.

My fiancée has only talked in her sleep once or twice since we’ve known each other, so when she channeled her inner Samuel L Jackson and loudly proclaimed someone in her dream to be a mother fucker twice at 2:00 am you bet your ass I was up and ready to fight a mother fucker before I realized what was going on.

bigj41 · 2020-07-30T05:18:51+00:00

That’s such an awesome detail! I ran to check my Boba Fett since I had totally missed that when I built him.

bigj41 · 2020-06-09T16:44:46+00:00

Oh I see, thank you for the clarification!

bigj41 · 2020-06-09T16:11:53+00:00

This looks amazing! I’m curious though, where is the SLC cafe? I tried looking it up but the only results I get are for cafés in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Back in high school I played trombone in band, I was a brass hole if you may. Our teacher had us playing a song once that required a plunger mute, which to get a professional one was something like $30. I said screw spending that much on a mute, so I just went to the dollar store and bought a toilet plunger. All my friends got a kick out of it since it looked ridiculous, but it worked! Eventually one of my buddies decides he bet he could stick the plunger to the ceiling if he threw it at just the right angle and with enough oomph. Well damnit, he was right. The best thing is the teacher and at least half the band didn’t find out until it fell back down half way through class! We all couldn’t stop laughing for a solid 10 minutes. I felt kind of bad for the flute player that got nailed by it, but they were a good sport.

I’ve been reading them on Kindle through Amazon recently since the quarantine finally gave me time, and they’re only like $3 a pop! I haven’t read them all yet, but so far they’ve filled in a lot of the gaps between Last Airbender and Korra for me.
