It was called the Estates when I lived there no idea what it is now, but I would always see some interesting things there. I do miss having a Wok n Roll though.
You lived in the *Estates*? You stuck up rich bastard! I lived further down 20th where the bullets occasionally hit my roof,

Next thing you know he'll be leasing a BMW 335 and trying to convince us that its "Grassroots."

This afternoon I saw a lady in a local discount drug store wearing PINK crocs...with black socks under them. So what? It's in the high 30s/low 40s here and wearing Crocs in this weather is just plain....silly (I'd rather use another word, but don't want to get in trouble).

Is it just me or do folks get LESS considerate of others up until Christmas Eve....then for a day or 2 actually act civilized?

Dude $565 a month for rent, cable, internet, and utilities how can you beat that? Separate lease from your roommates so if they f something up you aren't liable!

The pool parties in that hood were amazing. I swear though, they were all SFCC girls though lol. - I did almost get shanked with a butter knife by some wanna-be gangsta. - My Trans Am did get doused in beer twice during the two national championships (football/basketball).

My store isn't too bad; it's the closest one to sorority row. The best part about the fall semester is renewed scenery after the summer drought.

If you go back to the first half of the Bible every so often someone would get hit by lightning or turned into salt for not showing the proper respect.

If you want to concentrate on what folks wear to church....we have a couple (somewhere between 3 and 7 ) women...it's hard to tell exactly how many of them there are as these women look like clones/stepford wives... who come to church wearing track suits. And the part I can't figure out is: if they aren't spending any time picking out what to wear and getting dressed...why are they always late?

Men wearing shorts AND t-shirts is just a bit too casual, even for me (jeans and a "polo" or golf-type shirt).

The thing that really annoys me nowadays is the new "hippyemo" kids. The emo fad is starting to die off so these kids are bringing some of the emo trend with them to the new "hippy" trend that is coming about. The boys are the worst wearing girls jeans with a flannel shirt that smells like it came out of their grandparents attic with no deodorant and prolly hasn't bathed in a few days. They also were those rectangular black glasses and try to grow their beards out and seem all pure and into nature with their iPods, MacBooks, and iDouches, yet smoke up a chimney and leave their cig butts all over the ground.

I came this >< close to saying something to a couple with a kid at the store wearing them.

What scares me is that they have "Croc" phone holders......

I read an excellent article that postulated that because the "metrosexual" thing has reached it's peak, the natural counter-culture style is a return to manliness. Hence the jeans, flannel, beard, lack of bathing, and smoking.

Of course, being silly little scene kids, they're "DOIN IT WRONG."

I got it the first time. Here's the long version:

"Seeing as most issues of GRM feature a quote by wally in the 'Say What?' section, I hereby declare that this was funny enough to be printed in said section of GRM. Bonus points for the use of the word 'smote.' I peed a little. Thanks, the management."

I think they may just need a "Wally Quote of the Month" segment

That's cool and all but you can tell someone being trendy from "manly." Wearing skin tight girls jeans and the nerdyesque glasses don't constitute as manly to me. I have a few flannel shirts in my closet, mainly use them at the 12 hours of sebring and rolex 24. One has sleeves, the other doesn't lol.

There is also a fine line between good hygiene and being manly as well, especially when you are a huge social/public setting such as a university.

Oh, I wasn't attempting to defend them, just explain the reason behind the upsurge.

That's up to the missus.

Also, I will continue to wear my boots regardless of trendiness. They are comfortable and they keep my socks dry when walking through damp grass. it's also to scrape E36 M3 off of them.
