Hym "Bwahahahahahahahaha! You see how much the Jew thing bothers him? Don't be a reply-guy Ben. It's pathetic and contemptible. He jumped right on it too. He reads me every day. Wave everybody. 👋 If you're ever sitting at home wondering what failed writers do in their free time it's 'read the work of much better writers'. Well, 1 writer to be exact. The writer of the 'Highest grossing R-rated film of all time' That's how you know it's God's will. The retard in a cult analogy fits here too! Uh oh! Is it too easy for the retard in the sex cult to succeed where you failed? Did Todd do it because I'm better than you at an existential level and I deserve it more? Or is muh brains just so big and appealing that he couldn't resist that sweet, sweet meat? Did I work harder? No... No. That can't be it.... It's gotta be one of those. It's just hilarious. Because it could have done decently. It could have been bad. But it was THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Way to not be a stereotypical bunch of greedy, deceitful, thieving Jews guys!

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
