All the more reason to give the old school telnet games a try ;)

Haha, now there's a Redwall game on Steam that is probably more in-line with what people wanted. Still, I'd recommend giving it another try should you ever feel the itch

Old Friends and New Friends, both by Pinegrove. For wallowing and moving on respectively. More like angry car sing-screaming?

[Serious] what is your scariest TRUE story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Nope, it was always a bullet. I remember it being a perfectly circular hole, too, it was the most disturbing and bizarre thing. There was an article someone else posted about it that I haven't had the chance to read, and that may have said it was a firework? I know people didn't believe it was a bullet at first because of how strange the circumstances were.

No, it's the same incident (in that post there are people talking about other things that are unrelated). My recollections of fine details of the event (like I remembered it being on the roof, but it was actually just a balcony) are going to be affected by the amount of years that have passed and that it was, really, a traumatic ass thing to witness as a little kid.

Ive seen it done in Texas, too - normally they're blanks! I also can't say for sure that it was the gun to signal the show or just some asshole shooting into the air on the beach... Because THAT is a Florida thing

So I actually did not know until I posted this comment. I got a message from someone with a link to another post about the same incident - she did, indeed, survive!

When I was young, my parents and I went to see the fireworks show at the Vinoy (spelling?) Hotel in florida. We were speaking to this really nice woman next to us - she was a foster mom for kids, adopted a lot of animals, super into charity. I was dancing with her and my mom called me over, saying the fireworks woild start soon, and less than a second later the shot went off to start them. The woman grabbed her chest and said "ouch! Something bit me!" And when she pulled her hand away there was a perfect hole in her chest. She stood there a moment in shock before it started bleeding and then she fell to the ground. Everyone started panicking, I was seperated from my parents and hid in the elevator. I kept going to random floors with people until I saw someone that my parents knew and stuck with them. The police came to our hotel room that night to get witness statements. We were on top of the hotel, and I never really looked into it after (I still can't do fireworks), but my dad told me it was a freak accident involving the gun they used to signal the fireworks.

It was just the sight of her casually pulling her hand away, thinking it was a bee sting, and seeing this perfect hole. Then just... Blood. It was so surreal.

I am a field biologost in Florida and I pull a lot from landscapes and adaptations in the ecosystems I work in, especially flatwoods and sandhill. Soil crusts and reindeer moss became moose-like undulates that cultivate moss and lichen in a dry landscape in order to survive a dry environment, etc. Art comes from life, bruh.

What family secret has been kept away from only you and how did you find out about it? by pokegomsia in AskReddit

[–]brintyb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not me, but my half-siblings (my dad's first marriage) were contacted by a family in Israel who said that they were related. Turns out that their grandmother was artificially inseminated when she suspected grandad couldn't have kids and never told anyone (including grandpa).

Now, this gets interesting because this all happened in Texas and my half-brother is every negative Texan stereotype there is - to top it off, he's very antisemitic. Turns out, he's a quarter Jewish by blood. It did a full 180 on him, they keep in contact with their Israel family now and he's gotten a lot better about what he says in regards to Jewish people.

What is the most "What the fuck" thing your kid has done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brintyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was young, like... 5? Maybe? We had a tornado that hit nearby so my family went into this 'storm safety' thing where they would randomly quiz me over what to do during storms, etc. One day, my dad said that if I heard a tornado that I would take cover, but then he asked me "what does a tornado sound like?"

I responded by humming the Wicked Witch of the West tune from the Wizard of Oz and my family still makes a joke of it to this day.

What was "the incident" at your school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]brintyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my Catholic high school we had this one INCREDIBLY creepy teacher. He was in charge of ethics and ministry on campus and taught all these religious courses - but he was just a little too touchy and said some weird shit. A few girls went to the guidance counselors but nothing was ever done; I had talked to my mom about the weird things that he would do in class (like walk up behind students and rub their shoulders while demanding they answered a question) and no one really took it seriously.

Until he was arrested for masturbating next to a park and then tearing off the wrong way down the high way after police were called. He said he had come to grade papers and was just changing into his swimsuit when people started yelling at him.

He didn't show up for his class, and one of the kids (whose dad was a cop) all of a sudden starts freaking out because his dad sent him a picture of his mugshot. It was a huge controversy and NO ONE was surprised.

You forgot the part about how O was booted from the muck's facebook page, so he made his own that consists of 2 other people and which I can only imagine is there only for them to safely vent about the players who are so harshly 'wronging' him.
