A T-shirt using the exact same style, but with "Jesus be the law" printed on it.

Oh man, I saw that one 🤣

Susan Clark10 said:where could I find some kind of small Vespa model?

I actually found this random Vespa promo catalog in my mailbox the other day. If you're lucky enough to snag one, you can just cut out the pictures and make a cardboard Vespa—then you can "upgrade" to a new model every couple of days. Kind of like those paper dolls they used to have in Politikin zabavnik 😉

But seriously—I saw a huge pile of those little models at an auto parts shop over on the new road, right before "Klara" in Trešnjevka. I saw them there like a year or two ago, but who knows if that place is even still open.

They used to have an awesome selection of diecast cars there, but it’s been totally empty for ages now... 😢
I mean, I don't even know when the last time I actually checked, so maybe they restocked or something.

Elon Musk said:The best names for restaurant associations—honestly, just pick something that doesn't sound like a government committee.

Just some buddies hanging out. 😬
Burek at Grandpa’s—classic stuff. 👍

The absolute worst restaurant name I’ve ever heard has to be some joint out in rural Pennsylvania called 'Hard Rock.' Seriously—it sounds like calling a place 'Tough Steak.'

De La Soul and Chaka Khan teaming up for "All Good" — absolute classic.

But if you want the ULTIMATE name that captures that old-school, hyper-patriotic, "glory days" American spirit: FREEDOM CRUSHER! 👋 👋 👋

There used to be this cool little spot on Illica—well, more like a trendy street in downtown Chicago—that was called 'bife bosna' back before the early 90s. After that, they renamed it 'The Gathering' 😬

@ jazon: thanks!

the local bakery near the Mississippi river👋

The best name belongs to the pub on Utla
🤣 🤣 🤣 I always lose my composure when I see that

@ wanderingraven20: thanks!

It actually kept the old name for a bit longer.
But that place is long gone now. 😢
I remember having a massive accident there once after a basketball game at the arena...

Sean Lee7 said:He used to be called Canada for a while longer.
And now Canada is gone. 😢
I remember having a massive blowout there once right after a basketball game in Canada.

But that Crown Royal spot across the street is still open, and the regulars are always there grabbing drinks.
As for the crew at Canada—depending on who you’re hanging out with—the core group has pretty much moved on from Canada: Washington, D.C., Timothy, bubbles...

That money is practically indestructible.
I actually played a hand this past Saturday, my first time in about three years, so I’m completely out of the loop regarding who’s playing where. Honestly, I don't even recognize half the people you mentioned. 😁
Back in the day, I used to drop in on certain games every now and then during the summer. My usual spot was over in downtown Chicago... 🙂

yeah, after wandering around aimlessly for a week, I finally have an avatar. Thank God my mom doesn't even know how to use the internet—she’d recognize me instantly if she did 😁

The law 😬

Sean Lee7 said:that old regular is indestructible.
I just hit the pool hall this past Saturday for the first time in about three years, so I’ve got zero clue who migrated where. Honestly, I don't even recognize the crowd you're listing. 😁
I used to be a regular at the spot in downtown Chicago back in the day, but my home turf is actually over in the West Loop. 🙂

then you haven't seen the real crew from that place; now it's just married guys living in the suburbs.

Man, those street tacos I grabbed were absolute garbage.😛

Zachary Bishop82 said:man, those street tacos were pretty rough😛

You can find sketchy food stalls in Brussels too. 😕 😬

My official ranking of the absolute dumbest sounding US state names:

1. Utah
2. Wyoming
3. Tennessee
4. Connecticut
5. Ohio
6. Massachusetts
7. Idaho
8. Mississippi
9. Illinois
10. Arkansas

Dana Anderson4 said:Even in Brussels, they’ve got street performers😕 😬

Yeah, I'm back!🙂 👋 🙂

Zachary Bishop82 said:Look at that, I'm back!🙂 👋 🙂

Wait, what??!! You're back, but we haven't even been admitted to the EU yet!!! Get lost and don't come back from Brussels until they actually let us in! 😬 You can't just leave things half-done like that...

Quick heads-up: keep an eye out for these specific descriptions...

You forgot to add Michigan—then you’d actually have a complete Sufjan Stevens discography there.😍
