Refuge Secret Santa - 2024: See you in November!

God if only that were true…unfortunately I just work in a building that is ridiculous with security.

This was my first year doing Secret Santa and had no idea what to expect - what an amazing gift @camgriff2! You trudged through a lot of dark 2024 posts of mine in the politics thread (sorry about that) to bring back some very fond memories of Bandon last year - can’t wait to put this on the wall! My wife is already looking for frames haha so that’s always a good sign.

Also very excited to learn more about Stoicism! This is so weird…I had never heard of Stoicism until just last month - my mother-in-law was telling me about it and she thought I’d really connect with it. I don’t know if stoics are big on fate, but I’m taking this as a sign…

I also really appreciate the note and the thought put into that. Will you be at Mudness '25?? If so, hope to tee it up with you again then!

Ha I’m glad the poster passed the all important Wife Test for wall decor! Reading the Bandon trip recaps and discussion made me want to plan a group trip, so definitely going to be laying the groundwork and getting something on the books sooner than later.

Depending on how you read it or who you listen to, there is definitely an element of fate in stoicism. I hope there are a few things in there that resonate with you! Like I said, on a lot of your posts I felt like I could’ve been reading my own post, so I’m excited you’ve had a recent suggestion of it.

I’ve been dragging my feet on getting Mudness cleared with my wife™️ but I’m currently in the field and plan to be there. If not, if you ever find yourself down this way shoot me a message!

I’m sorry but when I put on supertroopers it’s preformed by ABBA!

The “Ursula, what the fuck!? There’s no TP in the bathroom!” scene has one of my favorite throwaway moments. Smy ends the rant by glancing over at Rabbit and saying, “hey, douchebag!” And Rabbit gives a little hat tip in response. @Nickygifts should be ashamed at having never seen this film.

I’ve seen most of the Broken Lizard productions they are fine Super Troopers is by far their best work.

These are all true but I’ve also quoted “yah because you have a dick face” from Beerfest quite a bit.

Somebody less inept than me make a choice ranked voting on broken lizard movies in the polls thread. Not enough there for a bracket, but a good half dozen or so and I’d be curious their collective rankings amongst the fuge

I refuse to believe “The Slammin Salmon” is a thing.

If I wanted to watch a raunchy comedy about restaurant workers I’d watch “Waiting…” like a truly cultured individual.

All the technological advances in our society and somehow this is still the best way to put a newly built boat into the water.
