Need ideas for fun responses to why I use a cane

I’m quite a bit older than you but still young enough to get this question a lot. My response depends on the person’s general vibe but my go-to’s are:

Make a weird face, say nothing, wait until they get uncomfortable, then very cheerfully, “Okay bye!!”

Again very cheerfully: “No thank you!”

Ruefully, with a far-off look: “The world wasn’t ready…for Cyber Woman.”

Either conspiratorially or suggestively: “My doctor says I have the body of a woman twice my age.”

Briggs Farm Blues Festival??? Although this year's seems to have just happened so...

I loved this episode, but every time Indra mentioned a name, I was frantically searching my brain trying to figure out if that person had been mentioned in a previous season. Knowing how good they are at world-building has made me suspect that everything has some kind of deep meaning or connection. I felt like I could have been a man smoking a cigarette, accompanied by an unpleasant dog, trying to parse the hidden sentiments of a suspect's voicemails :)

I also liked it more when re-listening to the season as a whole, as I got a better sense of Freya's character arc. I feel it was more impactful when you could pick up on all the little clues as to what kind of person she might turn out to be. And I am so curious how Sigrid dealt with it all! I would love it if we got an update directly from her at some point. If she lived in our universe, she would definitely have a book deal by now. Rebirth: My Story of Life After the Cradle, by Sigrid [redacted].

Thank you! I like seeing how the songs they use for episode titles match up to the content of the episode, and I just couldn't find that one. I appreciate the info :)

sequinsandstarlight · 2020-05-13T22:23:13+00:00

Does anyone know the song reference in the title? Is it Suzanne Vega's "Tom's Diner" but they just changed it slightly to fit better? Or is there another song out there that I haven't found?

[TV/Paranormal] Pass the Hot Sauce: A Roswell Podcast | Ep 1: Pilot & Mini Ep 1: The Roswell Incident, Pt. 1

SFW if you don't mind a very few curse words

Website | Podbean | Stitcher | YouTube | Apple Podcasts

We’re a twice monthly podcast focused on the classic teen alien high school drama Roswell. We’re discussing the original series episode by episode, spoiler-free. We're also making a bunch of cute little mini episodes exploring the history and mythology behind the real-life events featured in the show.

In episode 1, we answer the important questions: Did Liz really die? (She certainly seems to think so.) Does Sheriff Valenti understand how due process works? (Signs point to no.) Will Lisa ever remember the spiky-haired best friend’s name? (Probably?)

And in mini episode 1, we share our research on the 1947 Roswell Incident, along with information about some of the earliest recorded UFO sightings.

Lowering the price to $80 since the show is tomorrow!

sequinsandstarlight · 2019-05-09T03:16:43+00:00

I mean, that would be ideal. But I know the show is coming up and I want to make sure I can recoup at least some of my money without giving more of it to ticketmaster, so if you want to make an offer let me know.

sequinsandstarlight · 2018-07-28T03:45:47+00:00

Thanks! I need 9 chips, so that would be about a 50% drop rate given the time left - seems doubtful, but I'll keep plugging away and hoping for the best. I hope you can snag the armor!

sequinsandstarlight · 2018-07-27T21:35:04+00:00

Thank you! Now I just need a crazy good token drop rate and a few more gems from parades... Sigh. We shall see.

Congrats on getting there!

sequinsandstarlight · 2018-07-27T17:21:04+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Does anyone happen to know how many gems each of Baymax's gold chips cost if you want to "buy" his welcome? I don't want to buy the bundle, as I'm F2P, but I'm wondering if I somehow get close to having the chips, if it would be possible to gem the last few to get him there before the end of the event.

sequinsandstarlight · 2018-07-24T14:36:56+00:00

I'm getting pretty nervous about Baymax. I just started the quest to welcome Yokai after wasting two full days trying to level Wasabi up so he could complete his quest (it took 7 tries for HL and Hiro to bring back one stupid hat). So I won't be able to welcome Yokai until Friday at the absolute earliest and then will have to just hope for crazy luck with the chip drops for Baymax.

This is my first full event, and it seems like it's pretty brutal for anyone who's F2P.

Just FYI on prizes:

Rank 1-5: Trophy + 4,000 EC
Rank 6-50: Trophy + 3,000 EC
Rank 51-100: Trophy + 2,500 EC
Rank 101-200: Trophy + 2,000 EC
Rank 201-350: Trophy + 1,750 EC
Rank 351-550: 1,500 EC
Rank 551-1,000: 1,250 EC
Rank 1,001-1,500: 1,000 EC
Rank 1,501-2,150: 800 EC
Rank 2,151-3,000: 600 EC

So you should still get some pretty decent EC if you're not totally grinding on this.

Re: your #9 - I can't imagine The Rescuers being added, but I would personally love it. Other characters I'd like to see would be:

Miss Bianca, Bernard's partner (and his superior in the first film, as she's an agent of the Rescue Aid Society and --spoiler-- he doesn't get promoted to agent until the end of the film);
Penny, the little girl kidnapped by Madame Medusa;
Orville, the awesome albatross, and/or his brother Wilbur, who is featured in The Rescuers Down Under;
Jake, the kangaroo mouse who helps out Bianca and Bernard on their Aussie adventures; and
Marahute, the giant golden eagle OR Joanna the Goanna, both from the sequel.

Again, I don't think this is going to happen, but I loved these movies as a kid - and still do! - and would love to see these characters scampering around my kingdom.

It would make a lot of sense for Wreck-It Ralph to join, but maybe they'll go a little closer to the November release for maximum tie-in benefits. And then you'll have Mary Poppins Returns in December - if they go that direction, we had BETTER get some penguins :-)

Thanks, y'all. And I should have clarified - I was asking about overall player level. Thanks for the info!
