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)
QuoteA 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?
SpoilerA 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):
QuoteOnce 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!

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.

Light the world is awesome.
Unrelated, was your rank about the chicken priests something about Insanity clinic?
-
Hehe, yep. After being gone for a few weeks (months? I don't even remember) that's what I walked back in on. xD
-
Hah, the chicken priests were awesome, I still need to do King Chickeee's glorious return...

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?

RIP.
Insanity clinic is more insane... think chicken priests.
-
I've been gone since around May or June, I think?
That's... mildly concerning. All right, then.
Thank you all. XD
-
The whole clinic going insane started around July 11th

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.

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):
SpoilerHim: I expected Jasnah to be dead.
Me: ...didn't you read the epilogue to Words of Radiance?
Him: Yes. But I spontaneously forgot about that.
Me: ...
Him: I thought Wit was having a fever dream or something.
Me: Wit?
Him: Yeah...
Me: Wit doesn't have fever dreams. He doesn't even age.
Him:
What?
Me: Oh. Nothing.
Him: What? Is he a herald?
Me: *remembers when Dalinar asked Wit something like that and considers giving him the same answer* No.
Him: Honor?
Me: *chortles* No.
Him: The Stormfather? One of those spren like the Nightwatcher?
Me: Ha! No.

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.
