Okay, I don't think anybody got my Brick Joke. I'll try again. (Though if you haven't read the Brick Joke, read that one first, I think it's funnier and thus a higher priority to get.) Here is the Airplane Joke! (also from madfigs)

Quote

A guy was riding on an airplane, and he decided to smoke a cigar. Unfortunately, he was sitting next to a woman with a dog. The dog began coughing, so the lady said, "Excuse me, sir, but could you please put out your cigar? It's really bothering my dog."

He angrily replied, "No, I won't! You shouldn't have a dog on this flight anyways!"

"This is a non-smoking flight! You need to put that cigar out!" she said. They argued back and forth... get rid of the dog, put out the cigar, and so on.

Finally, the man said, "Look, I'll compromise with you. If you get rid of your dog, I'll get rid of the cigar." HE was thinking, "She'll never want to give up her dog." But much to his surprise, she agreed to the deal!

The lady opened the window (amazingly, without causing the air pressure inside the plane to drop) and threw her dog out. The man, thinking that he had another cigar anyways, threw his cigar out the window, thinking that he had won.

However, the woman suddenly reached out the window, and grabbed her dog's leash! As she pulled the dog back in, she was thinking that she'd won, but do you know what the dog had in its mouth?

Spoiler

A BRICK!!!!

 

Have any of y'all heard the Brick Joke? If you have, don't explain it - sometimes it takes those who hear it for the first time a little while to understand

The Brick Joke (from madfigs.com, but don't go there for an explanation either or you'll ruin it for yourself):

Quote

Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to build a house. But, being a little eccentric, he wanted to build the house using only 99 bricks. So he went to the hardware store and said, "Hello, I'd like to buy 99 bricks."

The owner of the store told him, "I'm sorry, we only sell bricks in quantities of 100."

"Can't you cut me a deal or something?" the man asked.

"Nope, sorry," replied the owner. So the guy bought 100 bricks.

He took the bricks back to his lot, and he built a house using 99 bricks. Now, if you do the math, 100 minus 99 is 1, so he had one brick left. And he took that brick, and he just chucked it, way up in the air!

I want soup. That is all.

It's officially Christmastime. Time for hymns and the New Testament and lights and family :3 

Oh, and for those who don't know, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints does this thing called Light the World every December, and in a nutshell, it's basically different little service ideas to do every day before Christmas. You can do them even if you're not a member of the church, they're just wholesome - they have a list of ideas, too, and a few items from there are things like "Let a stranger go ahead of you in line" or "Give your neighbor a compliment". Long story short, I'd recommend checking it out.

So, I'm planning on participating in the Ookla season this year, and I'm trying to figure out what to put as my username. I want the last word to have something to do with my namesake (the Liahona), and I was considering something like "Guide" or "Navigator". Any thoughts?

Ey, I just hit a content count of 200! (Sorry for the small notif spam, my fourteen loyal followers). Thought I should note this in post 201.

This might be a bit of a controversial question but I will ask it nonetheless

When is is appropriate to start listening to Christmas music?

Well, the seasons are turning. I am full of joy.

I also have 61 notifications and I refuse to scroll through them. Has anything of note happened recently?

Aight, humans, life is getting busier so I probably won't be on as much for the next couple weeks. Just want to let you know so you know I wasn't eaten by a chasmfiend.

Should I be concerned about your rank?

My brother is reading Stormlight for the first time, he's already on Oathbringer, (he's already read both eras of Mistborn) and spontaneously told me (Words of Radiance/Oathbringer spoilers):

Congrats on winning yesterday!

Well, it's May, and I'm on Rhythm of War... I didn't make my goal, but that's fine  I still get to reread the Cosmere, so I'd say this is a win-win situation.

Should I be concerned by your rank? XD

I can see you are a fellow Keeper fan thanks to your rank. *waves*

Starting my first Cosmere reread today! My goal is to reread everything in three months (with the exception of some parts of Warbreaker that I'm just choosing to skip). Wish me luck!

I love your signature. By the way, is your "Space Cadet" rank perhaps a reference to Stephen McCranie's Space Boy?

Wow, 50,000 reputation already? Nice! 

Hi! Is your profile picture from Laura Hollingsworth's The Silver Eye?

Is your PFP from the Tales of Arcadia? If so, 10/10 show taste
