Was it him who first wrote the oft-repeated line “STFU Tommy”?
I didn’t realize the_chief was still here - I thought they’d stopped posting for roughly similar reasons to sandman. Hello, whoever you are now! We once met very, very briefly at the much-missed Burger Stop!
After many, many years that seems to have become more common in my building’s elevator. And I think it’s my fault! I’m quite happy about that, actually.
Took my kids to Vancouver, Canada when they were very young. They looked white, so an older Chinese guy sitting on a park bench was startled to hear them speaking Mandarin. He was talking to them, and offered them some (Chinese-style) candy. I looked up and smiled approvingly. Was approached by a couple of busybodies asking if I knew him, and why did I let strangers give my kids candy?
I said that it happened all the time where I lived, and I was mostly concerned that they remembered to say xiexie. They threatened to call a cop on me for child neglect, so we beat a hasty retreat.
Its too bad so many people are here under different names. A lot of old timer posters are still here and I thought they had all left which is good and it would be nice to know who they are but I guess they had reasons for username changing
Ok let us get some consensus “to nod or not to nod” or “to nod back or not to.” Now I will feel the sudden onset of a panic attack.the next time a nodding situation arises, which is rare in my area, but it could happen. There was a dodgy looking whitey checking out the budweiser in the 7/11 fridges, but i managed to duck behind the Nachos when he turned around.
