I've went to a whole foods place one time. Definitely a lot of hipsters, but it is also conveniently located next to a planet fitness which makes it an ideal location for any single male that can withstand the environment. I don't know if I have it in me to go again though, same type of people that frequent Panera and starbucks. A friend, his girlfriend and I went after leaving a gym (Not planet fitness) and I'm pretty sure some 14-16 year old girl creep shotted us for looking like scumbags.
We're no WF, but among the few unmarried managers at our store we actually have a code for the hot 20-40 women(trust me it's not that many). the ONLY upside to this time of year, is that there is this sudden upsurge of attractive women, who I've never seen before, and probably won't see again, who shop and GTFO. Otherwise, i basically stay at work all week, come home, drink until i pass out, shower, repeat. I'm glad we stopped trying to sell Black Friday shit. No one's buying a TV from a grocery store.
Holy shit, how's this for an awesome déjà vu: they're selling throwback Sega Genesis and Atari 2600 systems with 80 built-in games and they take the old cartridges. Fifty bucks each. WANT.
I share your enthusiasm in theory. My friends and I will sometimes say "oh, remember when we used to play [old game] 15 years ago on the [old console]?? MAN that was awesome!" But whenever I get a chance to actually play an old N64, or whatever, game I used to love... it fucking sucks. I remember being as happy as any human being has ever been while playing Goldeneye at sleepovers in grade 6, but now? After Fallout 3, Skyrim, GTA V, etc., I just can't go back to that. It looks horrendous.
GoldenEye was college for me but regardless it's one of the best games ever for any system because it really "brought" you and your friends together. I'd give anything to have a recording of the random shit, hurtful insults and horrible threats we used to scream at each other while playing. Rockets in the Stacks. Golden gun or Proximity mines in The Facility. All. God. Damn. DAY.
Waxing nostalgic is always better than going back. Got my girlfriend an N64 last Christmas because she said she missed it. She was elated for about a week and hasn't touched it since.
So true. I basically did the same, just so I could bust out some Super Smash Bros like the good old days. I've only played a handful of times.
I hear ya. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 gets less fun every time I go home for Christmas. I'm also tired of all 11 or so of its announcer comments. "A textbook play!" "Oh, he nailed him!" "Oh!" I still play a game or two of 1:30 periods on very easy with Mark Messier leading the Canucks to 8-0 victories, and sure it's cool when my slapshot lights the net on fire ("The net's on fire!"), but it's just not the same as it used to be.
My husband is participating in a Secret Santa, and he has created for his victim a game console that will play dozens and dozens of old games from Nintendo, Sega, Atari, etc. It uses an x-box remote, which he has modified so that the green X is now a blue Iron Man glowy thingy. The victim is a video game nerd who will probably ship his pants when he sees it.
I have the genesis. It is pretty bad ass. But there are a few things you should know. The wireless controllers don't work well. You can plug a regular sega controller in to play and that works fine. Only 40 of the 80 games are real Sega games. The others are homebrew games. I still prefer older games. I think the SNES is about as good as it gets. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the Past is my favorite game of all time. I still play through it once or twice a year.
I once put a spoonful of clean cat litter in my mouth during a drunken game of truth or dare jenga. I figured it would be like sand, and wouldn't be a huge problem. I was very, very wrong. I'd forgotten about the chemicals and the clumping on wetness. I rocket vomitted for about five minutes. The worst part is, I could have just knocked over the jenga tower and taken the two shot penalty.
little late but im 6.0' and i was 253 on monday, but this time last year i was 320 so i'm calling it a win for now. Interesting and stupid fact. i'm white and had dreads for a bit when i was younger, on the toe deal mine are fucking nasty but i'd not be against it either way if that what was wanted. tomorrow im gonna be nice and drunk while eating good food with family
Hey guys! There are these awesome little inventions out here that use cell towers to provide you with internet, and then broadcast a wi-fi network with impressive reach. Which is kind of depressing, because you'd think a disaster area would have cell service that was worse, and not better, than Canada.
5'9", 200. I have a picture up in the TiBer thread if you're curious how that shakes out. Toes: Doesn't happen often, but I enjoy it when it does. Rimming: Feels good, fun stuff, we have showers, it's not a big deal. Fun fact: Hmmmm, My freshman year in high school I had 57 recorded absences and 57 tardies and wound up with a GPA of 1.71 that year. We moved to a new town and I went into a program for slackers that helped get me through high school but it wasn't until partway through college that I realized I was about to flunk out and waste my life and suddenly I couldn't stand that thought. I went to my professors, asked what I could do to pass that semester, and worked from then on at least hard enough to get decent grades. Other random fact: I didn't try apple pie until sometime in the last three years.
Holy shit it is cold here! I had to bring my smoker box into the house and warm it with a space heater before I could get it to turn on. Happy Thanksgiving out there folks!
