POG PUB May 2018 (LC; NSFW): If I May - Page 8 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

Also, one of the ewes head butted my shin hard enough to draw blood. To be fair, she’s the one who lost a tail when I accidentally stepped on it, so I don’t think we’re quits yet.

Also also, round here butt is the equivalent of mate, or whatever - blokes all call you butt (or butty if they really like you) and the women call you lovely.

Minecraft taught me that you just need a couple iron ingots and a few clicks and your sheep are running around bald. Simple.

I smell some sports betting promo's in my future!

And RIP Margot Kidder. A young me still fondly remembers her in Superman 2.

Pub pals,

What are some expensive (obscenely or less so) items that you covet for no good reason?

I have an inexplicable desire for this $500 pellet ice machine.

Filthy has a large list of things!

I bought a crystal ball once. Actual crystal. It will burn a house down on the first sunny day.

I now know two places that make this type of ice. My local Costco and I assume all Raising Canes Restaurants.

Using filtered water, this ice makes soda taste amazing.

Before shelling out the $500, maybe buy a shaved ice machine for $30?

In the early 1990's while in LV Caesar Palace Forums, I spent $125 on a cool looking holographic Dragon wristwatch.

Like this but a dragon instead of Yoda:

I was young and dumb. But it's a really cool watch!

We got our kids SpaceX t-shirts for Easter. The t-shirts were $22 a piece (gulp) but hey if you want the cool SpaceX shirt, you have to pay the bucks.

Well, those shirts are super soft, super comfortable. Completely unlike the burlap sacks that I wear.

next time you're in the store, just ask about the modal shirts. you can feel them and decide if you want to buy them. you feel like a billionaire.

or.... you could buy a $125 dragon watch

I'll sell you my super cool, super rare, chick magnet 3d Dragon Hologram watch for 4 modal shirts.

BTW, you have to put some bamboo sheets on that $6k mattress!

The knock on bamboo sheets is durability (versus high thread count cotton). But really really soft.

That's because that's the way ice was meant to be made. Costco and Sonic have it and it makes drinks roughly 946388465 times better

The downside for me is the bamboo reminds me of Nam, bad nightmares. I wake up screaming and soaked in sweat.

Well i just finalized the contract and actually cried. I officially work for a 4 seasons resort in Hawaii as a Trail guide. I honestly lack words right now. my last job paid something like $2-3 an hour, this pays...a lot more. I have a ****ing career doing something I had only ever thought of as an "Im in my 20s lets **** around" job.

I lack other outlets to brag to so thhere you go pub
