it’s all much safer than DIYing incendiaries or shooting fireworks at your friends, but you still get to use soup cans and naphtha to make a mortar that’ll launch tennis balls a good 50 yards

Offer to buy her a sword. Nobody doesn't want a sword. There are like 3000 date ideas WITHIN the renn faire too! Buy her some tomatoes to throw at the town fool. Nobody wants to fucking go hiking and drink IPAs all the time Braedon.

also, hey, College of Liberal Arts? how come you had plenty of money to fund a tenured seat for this guy, and a six-figure settlement when you fired him, but made so many of your departments (including mine) subsist on scraps?

I really want to see a game at Washington-Grizzly or Husky Stadium, Indy 500 is a big one too
