it's a one. To me it's just kind of like smoking - yeah it may be an accepted social practise but I think it leads to much more severe long-term consequences, such as stupidity.

Yeah I dunno why I even bother. I'll just drop it. Forever.

I'm having a delicious glass of cran-lime seltzer with freshly squeezed lemon in it.

is that guy feeling his nipples ?

is that guy feeling his nipples ?

He most certainly is. And he's proud of the fact that it doesn't involve homeless gentlemen.

BONK'S A BLUE NAME!?

Hail the new overlord!

Yeah, someone rename this thread title to "Mods Only Edition" already and get it over with.

 

[BonkTastic]

Alright, first day as a mod and I'm bailing for a day trip to Jakarta. Planned for a week now. I can finally buy things! Regular things! Regular malls, instead of dirty kiosks that only sell clothes in S and XS sizes!

Adios, loungers!

Hello from beautiful Nashville, Tennessee... Where my heart will always live and my dreams always come true.

Yes, I'm having a good time. Amazing time. Just took a major professional step.

Tell Carrie Underwood that the guy who went behind her in communion and sniffed her at a church in Stittsville says hello.

 

[CanadianHockey]

That is creepy.

 

[McManked]

That is creepy.

Very.

For this wondering, she smelled like a spring sunrise.

 

[McManked]

Wow, those posts were creepy.

 

[TheOriginalSilf*]

It's even creepier when you hear him literally speak those words.

Had to take my kitty into the vet today. He has a really bad ear mite infestation and his ear lobe(?) was filling with blood and pus. Anyways, he had to have a procedure done on him to properly heal him and then he'll be all fine.


****er cost me $500.

 

[Quo]

Feel better kitty.

 

[McManked]

Thanks for the help Ch, but what did you help with.

Was posting on my phone. Spelling?

 

[QuietOnTheFront]

Yeah so I had no idea where to post this.. So I'm bringing it here. Not sure if this has been posted already, but I stumbled across this little video of Colin Greening. Its ****ing hilarious.

I bought some white t-shirts, salsa, and booze. Especially booze.
(and some stuff for the kids, of course, but those three things were on my own personal list)

Liquor is crazy-taxed here. It's one step away from being illegal... a bottle of wine is about $40, and a bottle of Vodka is anywhere from $75-100. They price it that high in order to effectively remove any chance of the "average Indonesian" from ever even having the means to buy it. I mean, you can rent a slummy house (shack?) in my city for like $400/yr. When a bottle of vodka is 3 months rent, people tend to shy away, haha.

The trick is that in Jakarta (and only Jakarta), they have these "duty free" shops where they sell nothing but liquor. Technically, the only people allowed to shop at these places are diplomats, but because the entire country is corrupt as hell, the stores usually pay off the customs officials assigned to their district, and sell liquor at duty free prices (roughly the same prices as back home, with an extra 10-15% tagged on as the "customs fee") to anyone with the money who can be trusted not to squeal.

So you can get alcohol here, but it's quite the hassle to go. Basically my closest "liquor store" is an hour away, and the selection is awful (they always have the most random stuff, and there's never any guarantee that they'll even carry the type of liquor you're looking for). I've also never once seen any duty free shop carry port, ever, which is disappointing. I love port. Miss it.

The salsa, though: amazing. Pace "Thick N' Chunky". I haven't seen a bottle of that anywhere since I got to Indonesia. You gotta appreciate the little things, you know? Little things like good salsa.

I went on NHL11 earlier...

They've shut the servers down, after what, 2 and a half years? Absolute MADNESS.

Good job Ikea

Sounds a lot like the LCBO.

 

[BonkTastic]

Sounds a lot like the LCBO.

The worst LCBO in the country is a thousand times better than the best liquor store in Indonesia. I have no idea why people rag on the LCBO: the good LCBOs are the best liquor stores I've ever been to, anywhere on earth (except for the Duty Free shop in the Singapore airport).

Like, seriously: imagine going to an LCBO, and them being out of stock of Vodka. Not your favorite brand of vodka, mind you: any vodka whatsoever.

Today they were out of: vermouth, rum and champagne. Like, completely out. Not a single bottle. White OR dark rum. In any brand.
