Bagging on Commerce Threads Thread

Okay.
We can't actually comment on the threads, because that complicates the well deserved erasures.
Ok here is my "stimulus package" for you!

I sorta gotta say, sounds like prostitution.

Hope I'm not setting myself up for some emotional failure.

Just stay away from center camp and you should be fine.

Ice and even coffee are okay. I understand the need for those things, and I'll have to buy both probably. It'll just be nice to get away from the everyday advertising of bullshit widgets we're subjected to.

I guess I'm imagining a 'would you like a' instead of the 'you need to buy a' kind of thing. I don't think that's outside the realm of possibility.

Amazingly, I got a very (seemingly?) sincere reply via PM from the guy... just trying to be helpful and isn't this what the list is for?

Anyway, I had to explain it to him. Sigh.

Can I have an order of fries with that?

Don't think fries would be good for the diet? They were invented to keep the serfs happy!

Good question, Oldguy. We've had a bit of snow here in the East but I'm not sure how they are doing out there in BC. I expect the mountains will have lots for the skiing events.
