I actually miss Jacobson's. I didn't shop there, but I remember it being a really upscale store and I was in awe of it as a kid. Why don't we have Friendly's in Michigan anymore? They have them in rural New York and Ohio. I want a peanutty sundae and a hot dog served on grilled Texas toast. No one else probably remembers my favorite two fast food restaurants as a child: Burger Chef (the originator of the kids' meal) and Taco Grande (which predated Taco Bell and was BETTER, more like El Charro, if you've ever been there). Edit: I guess a few of you DO remember Burger Chef! My mom used to always shop at Chattam's grocery. She'd pass by a Farmer Jack and Kroger to get there. We'd buy the gallon tub of Velvet peanut butter and I would sneak grapes and green beans from the produce section. Mom used to come in with sheets and sheets of savings stamps she could trade in for household items. Pretty much all the grocery chains had similar schemes. A&P grocery stores are still going in some parts of the country, I think, but not here. It's also rare to find an IGA. F&M, Perry and Arbor drug stores used to be regular stops. Pace before it became Sam's Club: the original warehouse wholesaler. I don't miss it that much. Costco is awesome. I remember when Sears was an essential store before Meijer and Target and Walmart usurped most of their customers. Yeah, Sears is still around, but in a much lamer incarnation. And now, I will miss Borders; it's affiliates--not so much. Edit to add: I really miss Monty's, Trixie's, Roadrunner Inn (wasn't that the name? that's where I was heading in my profile pic), and Bittersweet. Even moreso now that Blair and Sean are both gone (Simon Bar Sinister knows who I mean).

Yeah, a friend from my high school days (church connection--I had only two friends in my school and one was schizophrenic) showed up at my house for movie night last night. That was great! I haven't seen him since 1994.

Usually it's because the freeways are too crowded, the airports are closed, and they themselves may lack money or transportation. The cost of gas and food in those affected regions typically skyrockets. They might also be too old or sick to move. And then some are just stupid.

Yeah, that's a great video. Not only funny, but very listenable. You should repost it in the new Star Wars thread. But why did they reuse the Indiana Jones theme so much?

Oooh. That makes me think of another painfully obvious pun, you piece of shit. (You all know I was joking, right? I mean, Spook was right there when I wrote it and I made sure I had his understanding and approval before I posted it. I'm not mean. I swear.)

And now we're even.

It depends on whether you're talking about dentistry or sex.

Look, I know you have water on the brain, but don't you think that's overkill?

Yeah, Samoas. Now available as ice cream:

But the island is for real. I mean, that guy really wants to build it in International waters so that it will be free of governance. The rules, however, are a joke to bait Libertarians. I would only want to live there in one case: zombie apocalypse. They're isolated and they have guns. Let's hope there's good fishing.

So, what now? Is it illegal again to hug Goths? Because I only want to do it if it is illicit and will be frowned upon.

How about in the bathtub with bar soap? I lived that way for months. So glad that is over. Hope I never see those days again.

Yay! Awesomeness. We'll see you there! Happy birthday!

You're a silly for not realizing the truth of what he says.

No, it makes perfect sense. And, what do you mean you can't spell? You spelled "masturbation" correctly--that's better than most! Yes, you would be missed. Horribly, I'm sure. My good friend's ex-husband killed himself last year and not only is she terribly broken up about it, her daughter is in agony. We know you don't want that for your girl.

Come over to our house. I don't have a job now, so I'm home all day. I'm usually working in the yard, but I'll take a break and make you some lunch.

My two cents: allow them, unless they specifically target members of the board, but with note that they do not represent the opinion of the board as a whole or any moderators per se and that all are welcome here.

Because it doesn't work like that. One person's misery doesn't compensate for another person's misery. It just puts more misery out there. If one wants to make the world a more joyful place, all one need do is find one's happiness and share it.

Sporting puns are boring. So not interesting. Want to know what's more interesting? My nail fungus---the fact that I haven't any.

The storm is gone already? I didn't even come close to being saturated. I feel gypped.

It's going to storm. I feel like going out in it and scrubbing the deck while the rain (and, if I'm lucky, HAIL) pelts me. That would feel so....good. It would be like penance though I don't feel guilty for anything. Meditative, really. Yep. *hikes up skirt and removes shoes*

^ Yes, I like the egg and bacon sandwich, but I skip the cheese, always use white bread, use only two strips of bacon, and add ketchup. Probably not as good as yours, but it's exactly the way my dad used to make them for me, so I love it. I think I do pretty well in the kitchen. My chicken enchiladas are decent. I have had compliments on my deviled eggs and Alfredo sauce, but I personally think the sauce was lacking. I like my macaroni, my chicken roll-ups (pretty much chicken cordon bleu, but not breaded and served over wild rice), and my blackened chicken breasts.
