As someone who is not originally from Minnesota, I'm still very aware of the Halloween Blizzard of 1991 because Minnesotans won't stop talking about it.

I understand Everett on this one.

Between the blizzard and the ice storm, 22 people were killed and over 100 were injured.

That's got nothing on the Texas freeze of 2021. Let me tell you all about it...

In my mind Everett grabbed the cigar from the old dude, threw it to the ground, and left. The old guy is shocked at the disrespect. The young guys are laughing because Everett did what they wanted to (which is why we love Everett).

It seems uncharacteristically tolerant of Everett not to punch the bore or throw him through the nearest wall or something.

No, he only uses violence when someone is being negligent or worse. This guy was just being boring.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

That would probably kill the old coot. He's using a little discretion.

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It kinda looks to me like he actually stuck the lit cigar in the guy's mouth, which I think would be even worse.

I'd assume he runs out from a boring story about snow, or one he already heard countless times. Or both lol.

I think the cigar is dropped by the old man from his abrubt leave?

I think Everett grabbed his cigar, threw it on the floor and stormed out.

[–] clark@midwest.social 9 points 3 months ago

He drops his cigar from pure shock that Everett doesn't entertain his storytelling.

I like to imagine the story was so boring Everett smacked the cigar out of his hand and left

John snow knows nothing, poor lad

There the mark on the guy's head, maybe Everett stubbed the cigar on his head?

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think those are his eyebrows?

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

On closer inspection I see that they are.

I have in my mind that Everett lives in San Francisco
