shoeberto posted:stealing inconsequential items from a restaurant you paid for a a meal at : sticking it to the man :: smashing a keurig you paid for : owning the libs How? Smashing a thing you already paid for does nothing at your own expense. Stealing silverware gives you free silverware at the expense of the restaurant. Unless you're suggesting that dine and dash to not pay for the meal is the only ethical way to eat at a chain restaurant, which I agree with. gently caress em.

Just lol if you love poo poo tier pundit Sean Hannity (all of the very online conservatives I follow think he’s a hack) so much you’ll destroy poo poo you paid good money for just to “own the libs”, most of whom are completely unaware of the controversy in the first place and are probably baffled.

Beachcomber posted:The only thing I ever stole from a restaurant was a whiskey watering cruet that we made a good faith effort to purchase first. It was the first place we ever had irish whiskey at in Ireland, and it was branded. Oh, man, that'd go perfect with the Glencairn glass I happened to buy from the Irish Whiskey Museum. Bought the glass as a neat memento and didn't think twice of the name. Later ended up drinking a flight or two of whiskey while chatting with the bartender when visiting Galway about a week later. I know this is off-topic, but I wanted to say that your bottle is a neat memento. For that same reason, I am resisting the urge to open the sealed "tasting notes" envelope I got with the whiskey.

There’s a chart floating around showing most overplayed pop Christmas music came out in the 40s and 50’s, which of course coincides with boomers’ childhoods. The only song millennials have added to the “canon” is Mariah Carey.

If I had a store, and it played music, I would play nothing but the Happy Holidays song on repeat. You can have your Christmas music, but it's not going to say "Merry Christmas"' Boomers love old Bing Crosby Christmas movies. Boomers hate being subjected to the words "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" The boomers will sell us the tinsel with which we'll hang them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oat26OdzH-c Lib and let die fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Dec 10, 2020 |

Yeah, just pop a block on there in the 90's for "All I Want for Christmas is You" and that's every retail stores playlist from Black Friday to like mid-January. And if they're feeling sassy, throw in Springsteen's cover of "Santa Clause is Comin to Town," and "Wonderful Christmas Time" by McCartney.

I mostly use plastic silverware that I have saved up from food deliveries past. Unless I'm eating a steak or something Is that weird. I actually prefer plastic forks for most purposes, they're nice and light and easy to handle but just as effective.

Play posted:I mostly use plastic silverware that I have saved up from food deliveries past. Unless I'm eating a steak or something I find it wasteful when people do it other than the way you described with only using the ones given to you from food deliveries. When I was younger and lazy I'd just plastic silverware almost exclusively. Eventually I noticed I could literally taste metal on the rare occasions I used metal silverware. I dunno if it was purely psychological, but that was weird as heck.

Cheers to REK and Lou Monte posts above. Friend of mine is from Milan, visited over Xmas two years ago, and found out then that he's a Christmas freak to an extent that exhausts his wife. Put on Dominic the Donkey and he swore up and down that the Italian in that song wasn't Italian. He is from the North, though, so his accent is a little different than the Southern Italians that I understand made up most of the diaspora. Hives & Cyndi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My5Bzf0PQhc Also 'The Pogues One'. Not posting it cause of the, ya know, language. But I do love it. Blackalicious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZLKzy30AAE Part of a promotional campaign by, I think, Target, but who cares it's a good one. Marah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk0RAXbUyiM Star & Micey have a nice one called 'Memphis Christmas' but if it exists on youtube, The Algorithm is never gonna give me anything but the obvious for a search with 'christmas' and 'star' in it, regardless of how I put things in quotes. Pre-MAGA Kanye et alia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Emz2ciGhsXM Run DMC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR07r0ZMFb8 gleebster posted:Boomers like checking out of arguments. Finally, one guy on the forums thirsting for more PipHelix posts. Really shoulda thought harder with that Monkey's Paw. Sorry guy. I'd have kept at it but I was at work, and that would have been Time Theft as well as misuse of company internet. Or the false equivalency equivalent of putting a burlap sack over my head and doing a Funny Games/Nightbreed style home invasion on my CEO. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal. Or whichever tradition you honor, you filthy animal. PipHelix fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Dec 11, 2020 |

Yeah, I try to let it squeak in with "The Irish-American experience in New York had a intimate relationship with working in the NYPD" as a way to let myself still enjoy the song.

I'll admit the I do enjoy the terribly cheesy Muppets and John Denver Christmas album. Especially Rolf and John's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" duet. It's nice, in a sort of sad little way. While listening to it, I always imagine a lonely old man, his friends long dead, his family moved on with their own traditions... Clutching a glass of brandy and staring into fireplace, thinking of days gone past. https://youtu.be/lpNi5OWhvg8 DrBouvenstein fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Dec 11, 2020 |
