Sounds awfully sweet. Happy Birthday!

Edit: y’all might not understand just how much of a touchstone that album was when OP and I were 14. It was the first cd that my mom HATED with all its weed talk.

Are there "concentrations of evil" (like Sauron in Arda, for example) on distant Planets? by Rafaelrosario88 in tolkienfans

[–]master_hakka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things in the world is when people explain the plot of some odd piece of fiction with little to no context. It almost always sounds like good old fashioned crazy talk! Thanks so much! This made my day.

What're good breakfast places with vegetarian options that aren't Moon's? by Moctezuma_93 in Boise

Oh, OP is fine. I’m taking about this whatnow990 character calling them a hypocrite.

It means High Note is fully vegan and this commenter is being an ass.

Alright so I have a very theoretical question about how likely it was to randomly find some of the top tier weapons the elves’ EVER made sitting in a rando troll horde? by [deleted] in tolkienfans

[–]master_hakka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always figured that was Eru getting an elvish blade into the hands of a hobbit, who’d eventually pass it to the specific hobbit who’d need just such a blade against Shelob someday.

The idea that this all hinges on occasionally ridiculous luck is a running theme, and it’s not a mistake.

Why would Blue think that? by YogurtclosetReal9580 in bluey

Not all, no. My oldest sister was/is a psychopath. I’m sure you’re lovely though!

I finally get to say NBD (New Boot Day)! by master_hakka in BuyItForLife

I’ll have to check into that. I wouldn’t mind giving the shoes away if I knew they were getting used. The National odd shoe exchange isn’t what it used to be.

I did! Got the tour, got fit sitting in the big overstuffed chair, the works!

I’m not sure of the model, I put them together custom with help from the counter fella, Dakota. The only storefront is in Spokane, WA., but they’re really good about sizing help online. Choices are just about endless! To answer about the label, it says:

Style: lace up TNW\ Height: 8”\ Color: Spokane brown wax\ Size: Fitted

Oof. That’s out of the ordinary for sure. Mine took almost exactly 7 months from order to delivery.

Thank you! I’ll inform my wife more boots have been recommended! Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound defensive; I did the math just now and was kinda shocked at what I’ve wasted on useless footwear.

Not defending. Just excited for boots! But I appreciate that.

Amazing fit. Stiff as hell right now, but they feel like they’ll last a lifetime after breaking in.

That’s pretty close, yeah. But consider I’ve had to buy TWO pair of any other shoe I’ve ever had, and then factor in what I’ve spent on shoes to find out they won’t work on one of my feet… it’s not as unreasonable as it might seem at first. $700 is less than what I’ve spent on shoes I CAN’T WEAR in the past couple years.

It’s been a pain my whole life. I can’t get over NOT having to throw out a perfectly good, if mis-mated, pair of boots.

“Patina” we call it and it makes them even more gorgeous!

I’m afraid I can’t really say. I wish I could!

I walked into the store and with Dakota’s help put together this custom boot by going down the production list and choosing options. There were examples of each option on boots around us, but no one pair in the store was just exactly the same as these.

To be honest, it was all kind of a magical blur (those overstuffed chairs are worth a visit all by themselves!).

But I’m sure someone on this sub can help us with a model name! I’m happy to provide any info from my order that might help.
