  1. Don’t do it BRG!

    I went to a KMart…once. I regret it to this day. The reason I went? I didn’t believe that they sold guns and ammo. Obviously, I was wrong. I stood there in stark disbelief and then begged them to get me out of there QUICK!

  2. ” I’m immersed in middle f*cking ‘America’. Outside a city with absolutely nothing to do and that’s void of any culture or life.”

    Half my family live in places like that, which explains why I don’t see them very often! And they love it! they pity me and my city existance when they aren’t ‘afeared for my life’…

  3. “Throwing a Caribbean-themed party. My wife is cooking tons of dishes from the islands, and I’m making Planter’s Punch, Cuba Libres, and Daiquiris. Plus we’re putting swashbuckler movies from the 70s on the big screen.” cwbuecheler

    Sounds great! We’re coming over! ; )

  4. BRG if you can’t beat it join it.

    Go to the after Christmas sales at all the Big K and Target stores. Maybe you can buy a scrabble game and teach the family some big city architectural words like cornices or balustrades. Do some cheap food shopping on the way home (you know it’s half of what you pay in NY).

    Embrace it.

  5. “youre on the lower east side, brg?”

    I’m in hell right now. I’m immersed in middle f*cking ‘America’. Outside a city with absolutely nothing to do and that’s void of any culture or life. Downtown is a desolate compilation of odd structures and one museum. The best architecture is the strip mall, the one ethnic restaurant is Italian, the happening place in town is Chuck E. Cheese.

    WHY AM I HERE?!?!? Damn, family! There is great hiking here and I’ve have been hitting the mountains everyday, but I’m beyond anxious to get back to NYC.
    To get to this ‘compound’, we drove for 8 hours, we passed 28 Walmart’s, 7 big K’s and 143 McDonald’s.
    Life is large here!

  6. Throwing a Caribbean-themed party. My wife is cooking tons of dishes from the islands, and I’m making Planter’s Punch, Cuba Libres, and Daiquiris. Plus we’re putting swashbuckler movies from the 70s on the big screen.

    Why Caribbean? Because that’s where I’d rather be for the next three cold, dark months!
