Super Garuda:

Stella Parks has a recipe that could also be an industrial product. In a different recipe on the same website, even though the bread isn’t a man who, on the day he died, said about heaven that he heard that the place is overrated….cloudy, the author says that a certain sandwich is magic. The etymology of this sandwich is also connected to a grimy slang word in a country that is a major exporter of the aforementioned industrial product (that is also common food for a shrimp that shares a name with one of the salmon on the hand). A politician in this country who refuses to comb his hair, studied at a university. If you leave the main entrance of the university main building, cross the street, and follow the instructions of Reypath 2.0’s fourth oldest video, move forward one block, follow the instructions of spevispevi’s geography game after correctly answering with the point on the earth’s surface directly below the center of a nuclear bomb explosion, and then head right for less than a block, what can you see written in English across from the buildings?

Super Garuda:

The person who installed Pepsi machines on set played a Prohibition agent in a black-and-white film where Peter sets out to prove that he isn’t a boob. The title of this silent comedy is a featured comical word in a 2018 linguistics paper published by Canadian university researchers. A building at this university is named after a man whose last name is the first name of an actor who played a one-eyed man in a movie once described as having “all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich.” In this building, there is a large room on the mechanical floor directly below 2A2. In the southwest corner of the room, a red, graffiti-covered beam crosses the path near a door. A message is written on the wall next to the beam informing the reader of their odor. What, according to the author, do you smell like?
