Pedestrianity

Pedestrianity is a sub relgious belief which main principle is a strong conviction that man is neither made for nor should travel in any other way than by the means of his own two feet.
The movement originated 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark by a, at the time, 26 year old Jewish man by the name; Mikkel Troelst Kaarsbøl.

In Kaarsbøl's own writings he describes the very evening for when he has his revelation.

He was tricked into sharing a taxi with a unemployed blacksmith from his hometown, Hillerød.

In his writings Kaarsbøl describes how he, in the taxi, felt an "overwhelming discomfort by the thought of the economic expences he would suffer to the taxidriver." And how "the whole setting was planed for him to feel the worst kind of social discomfort that any other jew in the history of jews." Here he also dedicates 3 chapters to how disgustingly bad music the driver chose to play in the taxi.
But the defining moment for his revelation was when a divine intervention made him shit his pants in the taxi. He now knew, that for the rest of his life he would now only travel by foot - "as it was intended from since the dawn of jews" After the experience he founded the religion that now is known as Pedestrianity. It is estimated that Pedestrianity has roughly 24.000 religious followers around the globe.
He is a Pedestrian and a hardcore follower of the book prophet and founder of Pedestrianity, Mikkel Troest Kaarsbøl

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.
