The Arby's mitt actually got its start in low budget hardcore adult films, some really distrubingly explicit stuff. Their escape from the industry is quite a tale, though the ending is sad. After a few drinks at an event celebrating their fifth year with Arbys, they quipped about having "a decade of experience handing mounds of glistening meat". It got people digging and ultimately ended their career. It's all in the a made for TV documentary "Degloving, the rise and fall of Meat Mitt"

Eric Richins, according to the records, suspected his wife had tried to poison him on multiple occasions.

quote:

He told family and friends multiple times and left a note with his lawyer in which he warned them that if anything happened to him she was to blame.

quote:

Eric and his wife went to Greece a few years ago and after his wife gave him a drink he became violently ill and called his sister saying he believed his wife had tried to kill him," the records said.

quote:

"On Valentine’s Day of 2022, his wife brought him a sandwich, which after one bite Eric broke into hives and couldn’t breathe. He used his son’s epi-pen as well as Benadryl before passing out for several hours," according to the records.

quote:

Richins found a text message where his wife allegedly asked a contact named C.L. "for some of the Michael Jackson stuff," to give to her husband.

quote:

Eric Richins died after his wife served him a celebratory Moscow Mule. The medical examiner said that he had five times the lethal dosage of fentanyl in his system and that it was "illicit" fentanyl, not medical-grade. It is also believed he ingested the drugs orally, according to the statement.

It appears she never performed CPR on him as she claimed, the search warrant records said, because of the large amount of blood that came from his mouth.

quote:

Despite the suspicions, Eric Richins stayed in the marriage with Kouri Richins because of his children, his family's spokesperson said.

:chloe:

quote:

A friend who knew Eric Richins for about 20 years recalled being shocked over news that he had died.

An older gentleman in line with me just spent the last 10 minutes explaining to me that is excited he has been chosen to become "the next King David" because it means he will soon have the power to throw family court judges in jail.

He also explained that family court exists as a separate court because they only select the most evil people to be judges there and family court judges created family court because they have so much power and money. But, whoever is appointed King David has power over them.

becoming the next king david seems like something avshalom would have to sign off on. also schizophrenia sucks, especially when you can pick up on the real life impacts that are getting blamed on delusions. i once had a guy walking along beside me late at night explaining that quetzalcoatl had forced his family to cut contact with him. after about five minutes he suddenly apologized for bothering me and ran off into the night. i sometimes wonder about how things turned out for him. life's hard enough as it is

oh yeah! the beartooth highway wasn't open for the season, but the first 15 miles or so had been plowed so we were able to drive partway up. spectacular views. also i'm from a land with absolutely no snow, so to see all of these spots covered in snow and ice in may was such a novel experience

If you find yourself in Washington State with some extra time, try to hit up the North Cascades.





Most of it can only be seen by hiking/backpacking, but it's the most heavily glaciated area in the US outside of Alaska (Washington has over 3/4 of all glaciers in the lower 48). The elevations are lower than the Rockies, but the mountains start from low elevation, so the vertical relief is comparable to big ranges in the Sierras or Rockies. There's also Rainier obviously which is absolutely gently caress-off huge, but quite crowded.

thanks for the tip!

on a completely different note, why is it that i'm paid 25% less than an equivalent engineering title, and i'm still getting tasked with putting together a cost estimate and timeline for design development? this state role somehow has more intense project management duties than my old job as an actual project manager
