Jets Lounge 2: Dark Helmet is Lone Starr's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate

[Jets 31]

Read it and weep, all you 20-something, ohmagawd I gotta partee morons. Mandatory masks, limits on social gathering size. It's because of your demographic that this is happening and I hope you all feel the pain. Same for all the bar and restaurant owners who turned a blind eye to social distancing infractions. I hope you get shut down, I hope you lose your operating licences, hell I hope you lose your businesses. And if you think I have any sympathies for your employees who might be out of work because of it? You got another think coming. These are people who knew this was wrong and went along with it. It's like German soldiers in WWII who said, ve vere only following orders. f*** that. AFAIC, there should be a question on any CERB or whatever financial relief form to the effect... did your job disappear because of covid protocol violations? If yes, sorry no benefits for you.

Tell us how you really feel. Agree though, the partying took precedence and now we are hooped.

If I told you how I really feel, the mods would delete my account. Remember Josh Ranek? The guy they called the Little Ball of Hate? That's pretty much me when it comes to Covidiots.

I just saw the thread title.

Saw one of these on TV today, but here's all three commercials he recently made with Patrick Stewart ...

Sororities is my guess.

That's what I wanted to study back in University. Only trouble is they didn't want to study me

Finance is one option but another one that i think I’m gonna aim for is Astronomy. Although i got let go from my job today so not sure what to do now....

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with whatever it is you end up doing.

Honestly, scrolling through the locations with exposures, I was dreading seeing personal care homes, schools, workplaces, etc. You know, important things that we want to protect.

It was all restaurants and bars, including this gem:

This quote in the Freep from a guy at the Palomino Club just before the new mask rules came into effect probably captures the prevailing attitude of these people.

"For me, it’s bullshit," says a man smoking a cigarette, when asked if he’s worried about the novel coronavirus pandemic. He stands next to his friend, both exhaling clouds of smoke into the night, and asks for his name not be published.
"I don’t believe it at all… I don’t like (the restrictions), but most of the people are scared, so it’s OK for them. I don’t like to wear a mask, though. I’m not going to change my life."

Article here: Last call for mask-free alcohol

I hope the enforcement people pay special attention to the Palomino Club and a few other known flaunters and shut them down if they aren't following the rules. There's no need to hurt compliant businesses with blanket lockdowns again. Just get rid of the bad apples.

I'm a sucker for pet stories with a happy ending:

Dog reunites with family after surviving car crash and seven weeks alone in Manitoba wilderness

A Shih Tzu survived in the Manitoba bush for 7 weeks. A SHIH TZU!!!! That is one tough little doggo.

So glad my bar hopping days are behind me, now.

Anyone else break their TV watching that debate last night?

Astronomy is a hobby. Finance is a career.

Sucks to lose your job but maybe this path will lead to something better. Bonne Chance!

And now Trump has Covid19 , you know that pesky little cold that was going away soon. Maybe he will just use some bleach and it will clean it right up .

Like I posted in the main board: I hope he makes a full recovery but this sure feels like poetic justice.

That's shity but also inevitable.

 

[buggs]

That's shity but also inevitable.

Aw, makes me quite sad. Agree that it's inevitable though.

Lots of good memories there - the Paddlewheel especially but I kinda grew up at the Bay, taking the bus downtown with my buddy to go look at stuff there on Saturday mornings as something to do. Taking the bus as a kid under ten by yourself? Unheard of now it seems. We'd go to the Paddlewheel for lunch and then head home.

I also learned about the Bay's "sale" pricing the hard way. Had a leather jacket I really wanted and had saved my money for. It was $299 but Bay Day said half price so I bussed (I was 16 but my parents wouldn't lend me the car) down there first thing in the morning on the first day of the sale and the jacket was on sale for $399. WTF? I learned a little about retail that day.

 

[Repoman]

Yeah sounds like covid was the last straw for the Bay. They were trying to keep it going. Just hope that whatever project eventually takes over will be worthy of that great old building.
