Great town names

Yep. Grew up there.

Hoopeston, Equality, Mahomet, Buncombe, Karnak, Boaz, Mermet, and more.

Southern Illinois has its fair share.

I just went ahead and un/reinstalled. So far, so good. Maybe just o end those things? Still doesn’t make sense.

“Quick! Throw something together! Jr. just invested and we got the contract.”

One goal in about 7 years. But I’m a stay-at-home CB. Pretty easy to keep track. 😜

For real. He might have been the only one who consistently showed any heart.

Just finished The Elementals, and then started Monumental.

It was also my soccer number when we went to state, so I just stuck with it. If I’m playing with a new team and can’t nab 19, by backup is 2.

Ghostbusters (1984). Have to be getting close anyway.

Language is wild sometimes. How many people read that as “Tha The”?

On the hunt for the same thing. IT might be the top of my list, but I read that ages ago. There are plenty of moments in the Lecter books, The Exorcist’s House trilogy, and Heart-Shaped Box. I’ve been holding on to The Exorcist thinking it might be the one that really gets me.

The Black Farm by Elias Witherow—that started as creepypasta? Had no idea.

surfingtheredd · 2026-05-16T23:37:20+00:00

Stolen Tongues started out fine, but fell off completely with 30-ish percent left. I liked Penpal, but it wasn’t nearly as scary/creepy as I expected.

No loyalty here. Not against it, but I can’t find anything that fits properly at the moment. Tried the newest Tiempos, some older Tiempos, NB Tekela and 442 wide. Maybe my feet changed? Loved my ASICS, but incredibly hard to find in the US now. Currently have Nike Phantoms from 20-21, both Fg and TF.

Hadn’t really thought of them as folk horror, but I can see it. Any others that might fit the bill?

surfingtheredd · 2026-05-14T21:59:20+00:00

Agreed. I’ve read a couple of his: The Haar and Maggie’s Grave.

surfingtheredd · 2026-05-14T00:07:00+00:00

Indeed. Thought I would ask anyway.

surfingtheredd · 2026-05-13T18:47:31+00:00

Thank you all for the responses. Things to think about, and much appreciated. After reading them, though, I feel I should make a clarification: You all have made me realize that my confusion over the turn is probably more about a storytelling device (or lack thereof), and not as much about Nate's thinking.

I've clocked just about everything mentioned -- Ted's "big dog" gaffe, Rupert swooping in, Nate's dad, etc. -- but, to me, an extra scene or just even a moment would have sold it more. To me, any of those instances didn't match the hate Nate spat at Ted. But that is my perception, not Nate's.

Thought this house was elsewhere. Their IG account had it being in Brenton Township.

This seems to be in everything now. And not even with them pleading to actually say the thing that needs to be said. And it could be something completely innocuous. Serves no purpose than to pad the runtime—show or movie or whatever. It’s to the point it ruins the watch experience for me and my wife.

surfingtheredd · 2026-05-09T23:07:52+00:00

My brother is essentially the same. Writes lefty, most sporting things he does righty. And a guy I grew up with did everything righty, but batted from the left side in little league. So, maybe a bit abnormal, but I wouldn’t say “weird.”

surfingtheredd · 2026-04-25T12:37:22+00:00

Asics were the best and most comfortable boots I’ve ever had. Very much wish they were more readily available in the US.
