Spring of 1986. We didn’t have a ton of money, so when the NES was released in North America we were stuck with our old Atari 2600. While Skate Boardin’ and Combat we’re awesome, we really wanted the shiny new system with the amazing graphics. My grandfather passed earlier that year and was always the guy giving us…

Purple passion Delphinium

Dudes have favorite flowers too sometimes. Depends on the person like anything else. I always told people to try to match flowers to favorite or complimentary colors for that person. That way you can show that you put thought of the person into the purchase. Delphiniums are always great. Who doesn’t love a bright blue…

I grew up on a flower farm with a florist/farmer for a mother. Here are some tips:

The Au Bon Pain story has to be Boston. I feel like I know that lady personally.

I unstarred this so I could star it again.

I am allergic to apple and cherry skin via a pollen allergy. Washing does not help, skinning and cooking is my only option. No one ever believes me on it. Thankfully it is just massively uncomfortable with all the swelling, but is not fatal.

I would argue that Boston may be worse than NY and Chechnya. Massachusetts sucks at road maintenance. You can always tell when you’re leaving NH into MA because of the shitty roads.

You mostly had to do this for your sanity. If you didn’t they would come in screaming at you the next day for selling their kid vile piece of filth “X”. If you didn’t tell them, you were setting someone up for a future headache.

Yeah I worked at FuncoLand (Later GameStop) and we used to have a bunch of people who hung around the store for hours. Some we loved, like the guy from Tower Records (it was a place to buy music next door. He was polite and super nice, so we would open games for him to try whenever he asked. We had a lot of kids…

Last year we had dinner at Guy Savoy in Paris. We dressed like bosses and did the tasting menu. You have to go to one of these restaurants at least once in your life. It's like going to the ballet, but for food. We'd been to a few Michelin starred restaurants in the past (Quadri in Venice might be the best), but this…

Holy shit that's crazy amazing. My sister is getting married this year, I kind of want her to have this.

Yeah it's pretty amazing. From what I understand the dress you see in the image was the dress she tried on. It was in tatters by the time she tried it on. It had apparently been in Milan the month before and Vera had disassembled it multiple time to fit a few different models. My wife rocked it far better than the…

I'm posting this for my wife. We aren't super rich, but we decided to go all out for the wedding. we'd had a rough few years with deaths in the family and we needed a good event for everyone to go to. That was our wedding. It lived up to the hype, but the dress was the sacrifice we threw into the volcano in order to…

It is, but why. this is on there too

My hometown had a rogue goat roaming around for over a month. Ran from a slaughterhouse no less.

I've run ultramarathons in racing flats, and I've run them in regular shoes. The only difference I noticed was that the racing flats had terrible grip on trails. It wasn't a game changer at all. I do feel like my legs were less tired with the flats because I was carrying less weight, but that's likely just my…

Ugh, Bad Liefeld thread begin?
