Things you just don't get

I wonder if being Austrian was just part of his schtick? I know sometimes on this website people pretend to have nationality or ethnicity that is not truly theirs (if you can believe it).

Shoulda offered him the SF inner circle handshake to check. If you don't know how it works, I'm not at liberty to say and, well, I've already said too much.

Grazl was Austrian.

I miss his rugged lack of sense of humour.

An apt description. It's too bad there's no one around on SF anymore who lacks a sense of humour.

Dude, consider the circumstances. It is not acceptable to take your pants off in a school for kids.

Parently Starbucks customers are upset at the new "holiday" coffee cups not festive enough for them just plain red color. Two points: first, I like the red cups just brings a certain joie de vivre to things. Secondly, what the hell it is early November why the hell are we already starting to celebrate the Christmas season? It ain't even Thanksgiving yet for criminy sakes.

Cafe's with round tables and square plates, who's ****** idea was that?

The plates are always giant and NEVER fit on the table and everything is always 2 sec from falling of.

Went to the brewpub with some old friends today. It's the kind of brewpub that specializes in "craft" beers. I don't really care about beer (don't even like it all that much to be honest) just went there because it gave me a chance to see my friends. But then everyone kept buying me specialty beers to where I had hell of beers in front of me. I don't handle alcohol well and so I'm like "oh **** how am I going to drink all this?" I was worried my stomach would expel its contents but thankfully I turned out to be okay.

They have had Christmas decorations for sale for a month around here already. The damn Christmas section at some stores was bigger than the Halloween section at the beginning of October.

My wife and I wandered the local mall tonight. It's pretty much already Christmas Central over there. The place was packed, too.

I've got to admit--it put my mente in the holiday spirit.

 

[Gibonius]

People still go to the mall?

 

[VaderDave]

Sure. It's a good place to kill some time and go for a walk in a climate-controlled environment while immersing yourself in over-the-top materialism.

As someone who lives near Mall of America, the permanent traffic jam on the weekend points to yes.

This still aint as bad as when you'were a youngster trying to enjoy summer vacay as if school was not inevitable and they start on the TV and roun' town with "Back to School Sale!" about August 1st.
