So check it out, I was just wondering this this morning. What if you were driving somewhere hundreds of miles from home, and some idiot pulls a blatantly bad stunt like zooming out of the parking lot of a Chuckie Cheese and smacks into your car, doing massive damage and throwing you for a loop.
Lets say you would normally have a hankering to hit them. So you hop out of your car, blazing mad, to hit them, or at least yell.
But......when you get out, you see the person in the other car is a neighbor you like very much, or someone you see in the supermarket all the time, and is nice as can be.
So, to recap, this is not on your block where seeing this person would be expected. You are hundreds of miles from home. Its a total random meeting, which would normally be fun, but instead, they wrecked your car.
What do you do? Hit them? Yell at them? Say hello, see if they are ok, and forget about being mad? Check on their health, and then get mad? Laugh about the odds of crashing into one another hundreds of miles from home?
I was wondering.

I'd still flip.
"hey Asshole, why don't you watch where your going........Oh, Tom. Is that you?? Dude, what the fuck is the matter with you. Damn, your a smart guy...who comes roaring out of a parking lot like that?? You should know better man. What am I supposed to do know? I really like you Tom, I mean as a neighbor and fellow pervert but come on, you didn't even look before you tore out of there... and why is your car intact while mine is trashed? If you were a stranger, I'd would have loved to belt you. Since my wife likes you and your family, I am gonna be an adult, but you have to pay for this. If you wanna, we can skip the reporting to the Insurance co, and you can pay me directly for the repairs and the Insurance Co won't raise both of our premiums. Now drive my ass home, there's a game on in an hour."

On the English muffin package it says "fork split". What does this mean?

Something about how they're already cut to the point that you can just tear them apart or use the proper utensil in this case, a fork. Jw

when you use a fork to split them, the nooks and crannies are pointer than a knife.

Ok, so I have two legit questions. Actually, 3.
ONE - I bought a couple of plastic bottles of grapefruit juice last month, they were on sale. I dont drink enough grapefruit juice to go through them very quickly. I have half of one bottle left. It has a "best used by" date on there. I dont know if these matter on grapefruit juice per se. The date is the middle of this month, about two weeks ago. Is this stuff still good? I want to rock some grapefruit juice before work tomorrow on the morn.
TWO - where do i get rid of a fat pumpkin? We went pumpkin nabbing before Halloween, and we have a big fat plump number on the back deck. Its still in good shape, no rotting or anything. But how do I discard of this? Too bulbous and heavy to hide in the bottom of the regular garbage. No woods readily about to dump it off. What do I do with this thing? And no, dont suggest "make pumpkin pie."
THREE - bought a sandwich to work yesterday. Ham and swiss, with mustard. On whole wheat. Put it in the fridge for afternoon luncheon, but got tied up and never ate it. In a different office today. My sandwich rests, and I will be back there tomorrow. Is this still good to grab? I would imagine so, the rest of the ham and cheese still nestles in our cold cut drawer at home.
Thank you for your imput here.

1. The juice is good if it's been refridged. You'll be able to tell if it hasn't. It'll taste almost carbonated.
2. The nearest overpass is good. An M80 would be fun, but a bit messy. Got a target range near, they'll take it.
3. Sandwich is also ok.

1. Try it with some good vodka.
2. Make pumpkin soup.
3. If no low life has taken your sandwich, it's good.
If the driver of the car is my "good neighbor" then I'm OK with it. If it's my "a$$ neighbor", then he is beaten to a pulp and tossed in the trunk for a 'Goodfellas' like disposal.

LOL @ "The nearest overpass is good. An M80 would be fun, but a bit messy."
The sandwich should be fine. I've done that many times here at work, when my boss has shocked the staff and ordered lunch.

1. Try it with some good vodka. I thought you knew us well enough that we'll try to incorporate booze into the conversation whenever possible.

1 - I'd be leery about an open bottle of juice past the date, even if well refrigerated, but smell it. If you never drank directly from the bottle and if smells OK, it's probably fine. If it turned, you'd smell the fermented vinegary aroma.
2 - Get a big, sharp knife or a machete and hack the pumpkin into little bits. The neighbors might think you are a little psychotic and you might frighten the family, but it would be fun!
3 - The sandwich is edible, but depending on how soft the bread is, it could be really soggy if left for two days with condiments on said bread.

Other than the stalls and stores down in Chinatown, can anyone advise other cheapo/ethnic shopping areas in the city?
There used to be a place with Indians and Jamacians that was off of 42nd where they had stalls and sold Indian wares (saris, curtains, cloth, shoes, rugs, jewelry, etc...) and Jamacian stuff (images of Bob Marley and weed leaves on every imaginable thing), but that is gone.
Any information is much appreciated.
Holla.

Check out Jackass preparing a round of Christmas shopping.
Folks, as stunning as this is the idea of using the grapefruit juice to temper some vodka (which I have on hand) NEVER occured to me, not even for a smidgen of a slice of a second.

Greyhound. Vodka and grapefruit juice.
My query is why is it called a grapefruit if it does not taste like grapes?

I crack up at the Tecate radio spots playing out here. Tecate is WILDLY popular amongst the Mexican population out here...and in the beach communities is a pretty popular beer with the surfing crowd. They play these borderline racist commercials with some guy speaking about Tecate in an almost Speedy Gonzalez like accent....but the funniest part is all the build up characterizing Tecate as this truly authentic Mexican Cerveza, and the tail end of the commercial is this low-key disclaimer in a very distinctive Caucasian tone, "Tecate and Tecate Light. Cervezas Mexicanas White Plains, NY" HAHA! WTF? We live an hour and half from Tijuana and you're selling us a so-called "authentic Mexican beer" brewed in White Plains?

No, the importing company is based in White Plains, as is the company that bring in Curevo is based in Hartford

not to be confused with Fosters, which is brewed in Canada.

Hmmm...I'm not saying I know better, but are you sure about that?
I know that a lot of European "imports" are actually brewed here in the USA by big-time brewing companies. Not sure which brands specifically, but I know one or some of those dark Guinness/Newcastle type beers are actually brewed AND bottled by Anheuser Busch.

It will tell you flat-out on the packaging/label.
If it says IMPORTED BY...it was bought in. If it says BREWED BY, well, it was made wherever it says.
I told Dana to stop picking me up Irish beers actually brewed in Canada.

beers like Killians make you "think" they are Irish, but made by Coors..... Fosters is brewed by Molson.

JOSE CUERVO and the other Trademarks listed under Products are owned by Tequila Cuervo La Rojeña, S.A. de C.V., Jalisco, Mexico. Trademarks and Copyright © 2007 Tequila Cuervo. All rights. Imported and/or bottled in the United States by Heublein, Norwalk, CT. Tequilas and Flavored Tequilas each 40% Alc. by Vol.; Margaritas 9.95% and 12.7% Alc. by Vol.
This is the disclaimer from the bottom of the Cuervo website. It says imported and or bottled. Seems to me as if it means produced in Mexico.
A google search of Cervezas Mexicanas White brings up a Wikipedia result that states they import Dos Equies, so I assume that they import Tecate.

I tell you what...when I was drinking, I was all about Bud. The King Of Beers. To me, it tasted good. A nice frosty bud in a bottle, with the condensation dripping down the side...mmmm mmmm mmmm. Nothing like a bottle of bud and 4 inch, 56 ring gauge robusto stogie on a hot afternoon.
A lot of people rip Bud, but I think it's all out of pretense. I picture someone like Domi turning their nose up at a nice frothy pitcher of bud and heading for the overpriced microbrew who claim that their beer is so expensive because of low yield...yeah...whatever.
With all the Guinness, Harps, Becks flowing around pubs in Europe, what do you think is the number one selling beer on that continent? It's BUD...by a wide margin.
With Kirin, Sappora, Tsingtao, San Miguel (Philippines) to choose from BUD is also the KING OF BEERS in Asia.
