More brain burn than expected. This is the epitome of how "going noodling" sounds like a whimsical activity, but it's just you sticking your limbs into random holes in a river bed and hoping only a catfish bites you.

I swear every time we've had an earthquake in the last five years, it happens immediately after I take my pants off. Sorry for party rocking too hard, #SLC #Utah.

I'm so sorry! At the minimum, I hope they can help with the pain, or at least get you some viscous lidocaine for temporary relief. Fingers crossed they find something fixable and don't say "I'll have to do a lit review and get back to you". 😅

I hope it goes well and is something easy to fix! I went almost 5 months without a voice, and getting the right kind of antibiotics and ONE meeting with a speech language pathologist, and it was like nothing happened.

I have reached the age where I now must care about the tread on my shoes. I am genuinely so sad. My 5yo flip flops have been champions, but I stepped on a painted line in the parking lot, slipped, and fell out of my shoes.

I never want road burn on the tips of my toes ever again. #embarrassed #RIP

Ouch ouch ouch. A lot of brain burn in a little game. The pipes are also hard on my eyes, but that is definitely a me problem. This warrants another play to decide if it gets to stick around.

This feels like Cash n' Guns, but less mean and less triggering (in more ways than one). Great fun at 2, but will definitely sing at a higher player count.

To be fair, Sunderland also wears red and black, so he's probably doing a polite prank.

Big Boy already had a collar the right color; just had to make the right introduction to The #Arsenal! #coyg

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

We lost! Harder and scrappier than the first iteration, Bandido. But still fun! Next time, we will see if we can get the lovers Bandido and Bandida back together so they can kiss underground and so on.

Seance is OP AF. Just sayin'.

We are split on if this would be made better with a chess timer at play, but loved it all the same. It really made me feel like I was a little kid again, watching mountain goats from the ski bus lot with my dad.

A delightfully clever little dice roller that was a hit for everyone from ages 34 to 90! Especially if you only pay attention to 4 data points around one table in Tucson, Air-eh-zone-ya.

It was speedy, easy to explain, SO CUTE. We have played a handful of games tonight, and our 90-year-old gran and my partner's uber competitive dad both declared it their favorite, so it has quite a wide appeal.

Really helps to have a mind like a steel trap. Or a devil may care attitude. Luckily, I have neither and just ended the game out of panic.
