Snowmads Puns

Hi everyone! In 2012, I have bought an Oakley Snowmad 20L during a vacation in the US. Since then, I've used it regularely and it has seen some heavy use - I really like the many clips, the hard top pocket (I believe it's intention was to store the ski mask), the many pockets inside and especially the fit; it feels light, it's easy to carry and fits well onto my back. While my backpack is still in good condition, I would like to buy a second one - unfortunately, ir seems like this exact model is not available here in Central Europe, which is why I'm looking for alternatives.

Ideally, I'd like to buy the same backpack again, if there's one thing I'd change then it would be a fine mesh net on the back for less sweating (the Snowmad, as the name indicates, is a backpack used for winter, so doesn't have that). Again, around 20L carrying capacity would be great, I have used it for single day hiking mostly and for occasional snowboarding/freeriding. A separate pocket for my water bladder would be great as well. Thanks im advance for your recommendations!

"is it on? you sure? ok. ahem greetings, people of... whatever this planet is called. i am lord fredrik, and I wish to announce that with the gracious gift of metal given by the immensely brave and mighty 166th ^(166th what, I don't know) , we were able to construct homes on our continent at a much quicker rate. with that done, we now proclaim ourselves a sovereign nation, the yarldom of the southern pole. or the yarldom of the snowmads. either works, really. furthermore, we proclaim ourselves allies of Governor Penguin, and are willing to assist him. have a nice night, and to those who fought in the battle earlier, know that you are brave, honorable warriors, and whoever you worship is surely proud of you."

In this scenario The Tiki Tak Tribe defeated Donkey Kong at the beginning of the game and took over Donkey Kong Island. Now the Snowmads want Donkey Kong Island can they take it over?

General rules 1: The Tikis will have no clue that the Snowmads are Coming.

2:The Snowmads will attack the same way they did in the game. (Freeze island then attack it)

Tiki Tak Tribe Rules 1: The Tikis will win if a) The Snowmads run out of manpower and can no longer attack the island. b) The Tikis take over the Snowmads other islands. (Juicy Jungle, Lost Mangroves, etc) c) The Tikis kill Lord Fredrik.

2: Tiki Tong will rule the Tikis from his lair on the volcano.

3: The Tikis will have their entire army at their disposal along with all their generals.

4: They will access to the DK banana horde along with their factory so they can make more troops.

Snowmads Rules

1: The Snowmads will win if a) They take over DK
island. b) The Snowmads kill Tiki Tong.

2: Lord Fredrik will rule the Snowmads from the main viking ship.

3: The Snowmads will have their entire army and all of their generals. They will also have all five of their other islands to be used as bases of operation.

4. They will have full use of the Ice Dragon. It will be kept with Lord Fredrik on the main ship.

R1: The Tikis have 1 month after defeating Donkey Kong to prepare their army.

R2: The Tikis have zero prep time.

Bonus: Tiki Tong vs Lord Fredrik

This is how I view the Snowmads: Chart

The different animals that compose the snowmads were not always united. They lived in separate tribes, occasionally clashing together, in their homeland (let's call it Snowmadje, that sounds viking, it'll be like Swedes and Sweden) which is completely made from ice. The tribes are the Waldoughs, the Tucks, the Tuffs, along with presumably tribes for polar bears and sea lions. The Marioverse feature several active volcanoes, and this continuous spewing of lava and smoke into the atmosphere begins to show in Snowmadje: the land is melting.

Of all the tribes it is the leader of the Waldoughs, Fredrik, who sees that the tribes of Snowmadje must see past their petty squabbles and unite unless they want to end up floating in icy waters. Thanks to his spiritual guides he learns of a idyllic place where the Snowmads can settle, which happens to be the ancestral home of the Ba-boom Brothers, hence their knowledge of it. Fredrik unites the tribes he can, with some of his closer friends from hard-to-convince tribes (Bashmaster and Pompy) going against their families and following him still. Of course he brings his pet fish. Why not.

When the Snowmad fleet arrives at the DK Isles and blows the kongs into the Lost Mangroves (possibly without intent?), the Snowmad immediately continue to settle the islands. They find the harvesting factory in the Juicy Jungle, which they immediately seize, seeing how useful churning out "food" could be to supply other islands. Seabreeze Cove was the perfect site to release Fugu, and the pufferfish loved it. The Bright Savannah, homeland of the Ba-boom Brothers, at first seemed too much of a challenge to the Snowmads, with the harsh environment bearing down on them, but when they find sites by the bountiful rivers it is clear that this is the promised land. Immediately they begin to settle. At Autumn Heights the Snowmads finds the island already inhabited with two factions. The ground and earth is ruled by rodents (rats and beavers) while the air and mountains belong to the Owls, the Hootz. The Snowmads are not stupid. Here they have a rich culture, a culture that one could earn more from by trading with rather than raiding. There is peace between the Snowmads and the inhabitants of Autumn Heights, but no alliance yet. However, in the Lost Mangroves (where the fleet only landed some days ago) t

Actually, the DLC snaps in two.

Both the Snowmads and the Kremlings aren't what I'd call all too intimidating. But they seem like pretty big threats. How dangerous are these guys and who's the most dangerous out of the two groups?

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

So yeah, I got scammed trying to order Fizban’s through Amazon. The booklet I got was full of copied and pasted Wikipedia articles, all about different Donkey Kong games -- they contained a lot of weird language. They look like they've been machine translated into English. I kind of love it.

Here’s an excerpt:

"Jackass Kong and his family should wander across five islands to save their home, Donkey Kong Island, after it is frozen by the detestable Snowmads — a gathering of intruders from the northern oceans."

Or another one, about some once per day, high level power:

"Filling up a 'Kong-POW' meter permits Donkey Kong and his accomplice to play out a unique move which overcomes all on-screen adversaries and converts them into things […]"

Great stuff.

All of that aside, the Amazon customer service resolved the issue in literally five minutes and I got a full refund so that's nice. The item is now delisted, so I expect it to become a highly sought after collectible.

For those of you that don't feel like clicking on the Imgur link, here's an excerpt from the message I got from the Amazon customer service that I will treasure always:

"Please accept my sincerest apologies that you received Wikipedia articles about Donkey Kong instead of your Fizbans: Treasury of Dragons, Dungeon & Dragons Book.

Given the nature of the book in question there's no need to return the item to us. Please keep or dispose of it at your convenience."

I love how the customer service lady repeated what I told her about the contents of the book back to me in her message. I assume she also got a chuckle out of that.

EDIT: I added some more book pages to the Imgur gallery, for all you literature fans out there.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

They were cooked in Greece.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Hi everyone! In 2012, I have bought an Oakley Snowmad 20L during a vacation in the US. Since then, I've used it regularely and it has seen some heavy use - I really like the many clips, the hard top pocket (I believe it's intention was to store the ski mask), the many pockets inside and especially the fit; it feels light, it's easy to carry and fits well onto my back. While my backpack is still in good condition, I would like to buy a second one - unfortunately, ir seems like this exact model is not available here in Central Europe, which is why I'm looking for alternatives.

Ideally, I'd like to buy the same backpack again, if there's one thing I'd change then it would be a fine mesh net on the back for less sweating (the Snowmad, as the name indicates, is a backpack used for winter, so doesn't have that). Again, around 20L carrying capacity would be great, I have used it for single day hiking mostly and for occasional snowboarding/freeriding. A separate pocket for my water bladder would be great as well. Thanks im advance for your recommendations!
