😲 🤣
Where did you even dig that up? Respect. 👍

Daaaaaaale, five things I need to do but seriously don't want to:
1. write that paper due tomorrow
2. finish this PowerPoint presentation
3. wrap up my calculus homework
4. finish decorating the apartment
5. go get some pictures framed (now that I've shattered the glass from being clumsy, maybe I'll actually go do it)

Nancy gentlepuma20 said:Facts. You never hear someone talking about some cheap candy or a pear and the best meal on earth in the same breath. ☕

I’d probably frame it a bit differently, but hey, at least we're on the same page. 😈

Whatever. gentlepuma20 said:Is this an attempt to drag you down, or just a hit job on San Francisco? ☕

What makes you think they're even trying to discredit them? 😕

dinsdale gentlepuma20 said:One of my buddies—you guys wouldn't even know him—was sitting there eating fried cheese. He was dead certain it was chicken. 😁 Basically, we just stopped eating out late at night after that food poisoning hit us.

Just so everyone knows, I poisoned myself with that fried cheese from Bonita.

Carol Jackson45, you talking about gas? There's nothing like the smell of fresh coffee in the morning!

The end is coming. 🙂

🤣

Susan Clark10 said:only ever brought up loafers in a bad way😬

Same. That trash isn't happening for me.🥳

Top 5 industrial smells that'll probably kill me, but I love them anyway:
1. Wall paint
2. Sharpies
3. White-out
4. Glue 😬—every kind, including CarbonFix :junkie:
5. Bubblegum bubbles, specifically the ones that don't pop immediately

Samuel Murphy6 said:If you're some kind of local patriot, you're being radical. You can't say Washington, D.C. has bad donuts without bringing up Miami beef sliders in the same breath. They're the best in Pauline. Yeah, right.

First off, donuts and beef sliders never belong in the same sentence.
Second, I know someone's gonna crucify me for this, but meat is the most pointless food ever and I'm not really a slider fan. It's not like I won't eat them once in a while, but if you give me the choice between sliders and fried zucchini, I'm picking the zucchini every time.
Third, based on what I just said, it should be obvious why I miss good donuts in Washington, D.C., but I don't care about sliders in Miami.
And fourth, since you're being so stubborn, the sliders at Pauline's sandwich shop aren't even good—they just had a good reputation back in the day because they were the only option.

There, laid out in numbers so it looks like a legit 😁

Kevin Chavez3 said:Doughnuts have jam in them. 🙂

Obviously. 🙂 And then you go straight for vanilla, then chocolate. 🥳

Just because I said there aren't any decent donuts in Chicago doesn't mean I'm hating on the whole city. It just means the donuts suck. Period. Stop being so paranoid.

And yeah, I'll talk trash whenever I feel like it. I don't need your permission.

Jason Chavez32, shut it. In a massive place like NYC, you can't even find a decent donut, which honestly says everything about how much this city sucks. 😛
Ari bakes, but I’m a total donut addict and being without one for seven days is killing me. 😢

Stop commenting before people start thinking you're some local hero or something. 🙄

Melissa Sanchez37 said:speaking of those Krafen extra ones, man, I'd kill for some chocolate donuts here in Washington, D.C. specifically those Bobis ones where they're completely smothered in chocolate. THE WHOLE THING! Not just a little drizzle.
I'm basically starving for carbs. 🙂

Honestly, I miss decent donuts in D.C., not even just the chocolate kind. For the first few years, I was literally dreaming about warm ones from Prerade or Gusic. 😢

Melissa Sanchez37 said:that dive bar in Miami had "hot dog" on the menu.
and they called French fries "pommes frites."

Nothing beats stumbling upon a typo like "hemedex" somewhere.🤣

My top 5 misspelled pastries at the Bobis near the market:

1. Krafen
2. Krafen extra (<- chocolate donut)
3. Brooklyn sugar-free
4. 4. Punć kocka 5. Jadran kolać
5. 4. Punć kocka 5. Jadran kolać

Mr. Wrong said:I hate this city. You can't even grab some beans or a breakfast burrito at 4 AM. 🙂

Man, City @ Saxophone... 😍 😍 😍

@ Melissa Sanchez37:
Don't even get me started on Rhode Island, that place is still alright. 🙂 So, we’re out here on Rhode Island after a total disaster of a night—you know the drill: too much drinking, crashing in some random backyard full of mosquitoes, and waking up with what feels like a smeared can of pate all over my clothes. We stumble into the only shop in Rogac looking for some bread, and the clerk just looks at us and asks if we pre-ordered. Pre-ordered? Who on earth pre-orders bread? Apparently, that's how it works here. They just drop a fixed amount of bread off, and if you actually want to eat, you have to place your order the night before. Ridiculous.

Samuel Murphy6 said:🤔 Wait, was this the list of the best spots to grab fish at all hours? I feel like I've seen this before:

Honestly, I can't tell if this city is getting more pathetic or if your stomach is just hitting rock bottom given the options here.

analogharbor442 said:whenever I see people in flip-flops, I think the same thing... there are barely enough humans out there with feet pretty enough to show off to the public without being mocked.

Facts.

Though, I gotta admit, Octopus is one of those rare guys who actually pulls off flip-flops. 🤔

Harold Wright54 said:what, you'd prefer these instead:

Slick, clogs are more my style. 😍

stormywolf39 said:Yeah, we're actually on the same page here 😁

But you’re still missing that extra bit of flair... even if it’s already passed 😬

It looks good on some women 😳

Anyway, you got me thinking—you could probably pull off that look without the heels and still take 9th place. Bonus points if that little twist from walking makes it flip up just right 🙄

Roger Clark50 said:Does that include tracksuits?

Just the top. And nothing baggy—those are a total turn off. 😁

Susan Clark10 said:hey carrot 😁

😁 😁 😁

Gonna do a quick rundown before I crash (gotta be up at 6:30 AM tomorrow), here are my top 8 worst women's shoes:

1. borosana, regardless of what Nina Violic says about them
2. High-heeled flip-flops
3. High-heeled sneakers (seriously, what were those designers thinking?)
4. Fake chunky combat boots with heels
5. Those toe-strap sandals that leave almost everything exposed (ugh, gross 😱 )
6. Loafers
7. Those sparkly, rustic flats everyone was wearing last year
8. Women's soccer cleats

Miss L, you're up 😁

Susan Clark10 said:Top 5 absolute disasters in men's footwear:

Jesus fingers. 😱
Japanese girls.
Strappy sandals and basically any open-toe shoe. Total disaster.
Double-bell loafers. 😬
Just looking for some classic men's dress shoes for a wedding.

Men need to stick to sneakers—Vans or Adidas Old Skools. Period.

🙂

I’m with you on all of that—honestly, I'd even sign your wishlist. Though, if we're talking style, you forgot Chuck Taylors. There's just something about a pair of Converse on someone with long, narrow feet... seriously sexy. Anyway, I’ve got three more to add:
Rubber flip-flops for the beach.
Those toe sandals—not the Jesus ones, I mean those leather, closed-toe ones that were everywhere a couple of years ago.
Running shoes—especially those heavy-duty ones meant for serious training. 👎

stormywolf39 said:So, what’s wrong with something like this?

It doesn't mean anything unless there's a pair of guy feet involved. 😉

stormywolf39 said:Wait, am I reading this right? People are actually complaining about women's flip-flops now? 🙂

Lol... they look ridiculous to me. 😬

Sandra Chase16 said:guys in skirts 😲 especially those long wrapped ones - man

Oh, please, you have no clue. When they're in kilts showing off those legs and knobby knees... 😍 those guys are killing it, just look at the monks

Rachel Hughes49 said:So why are those monks still rocking dresses cinched at the waist and sandals? 😍
Just a breeze blowing around her ass. 😍 😍

Yeah, exactly. 😍
Pop music is trash, but those guys with the girls? Not bad. 😍
Men in skirts? Honestly, whatever. 😍 😍 😍 I live for Mardi Gras. 🙂

Here’s an overall list:

Pavement 155
Tom Waits 118
The National 63
4. Nick Drake 56
The Decemberists 54 6. The New Pornographers
The Decemberists 54 6. The New Pornographers 40
David Gray 38
8. The Go! Team 31
Pixies 30
Bright Eyes 30

Things should start looking up soon. Happy equinox, everyone. 😍

Melissa Sanchez37 said:but they carry STDs because of it.
Just more prejudice.

We're talking uniforms now? 😕

Kevin Chavez3 said:I think I spent 90% of my life mixing red wine and beer. 😬

And I'm pretty sure that makes you puke. 🙂 🤣
