i saw a guy doing that by himself once. at night. in -15° weather. facing a locked loading door at a university campus.

a peculiar breed.

Having seen the YouTube, I've learned the ONLY chant for the train queue is "im-ho-tep! Im-ho-tep!"

Huh. Fascinating thought process I'm sure, no matter what it was.

911 was a really stressful time for the US. It left some... marks on the psyche. Mix that with a general lack of education and you end up with that. Just count yourself lucky you don't have to live here.

some people know how to live

He was already pulling that in 97 when he was around 30 heh. He has become an IRL Billy Madison and I am proud of him.

At least he has that woman that never remembers anything when she wakes up.

grew up in a major European city with lots of tourism. Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are. while Americans are loud and entitled. Germans and English tourists were annoying but only came to get drunk on the beach. Israeli tourists also tend to be entitled and annoying.

other groups were rare so not much to talk about them

I worked with a doctor whose in-laws were Saudi royalty. He didn't need to work at all he was so wealthy.

I heard about him doing an incredibly greedy thing that blew my mind one day; he showed up at a dinner that a drug company was hosting for another adjacent program he had nothing to do with and did not practice in at all. He didn't even tell them he was coming, they had to find him a seat, and then he sat down, ordered not one but TWO whole lobsters, and when they came he asked for them to be wrapped to go, and he left. Even acknowledging drug companies have large budgets for these kinds of things, to come to an event that has nothing to do with you and do that is insanely rude when you don't want for a thing in the world.

I know someone else who is very wealthy, and he's pretty generous and passionate about creating things, he's far from perfect, but truly wants to make good things and runs a business that gives him zero profit, so the contrast was pretty stark. The doctor also stiffed his professional college for a very large membership bill.

Fuckin' Bruges

If your famous enough, they'll let you slap people on stage these days.

He wears what's comfortable, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Adam Sandler is famous for shooting movies in exotic/fun locations so that it doubles as a vacation for him and the actors/crew. He's beloved in the industry, and widely regarded as a good, friendly, loyal, down to earth person. Why on earth should someone like that be excluded from an awards show?

After working with poles for years, I can recognize them on the street without them saying a word.

Florida Man doesn’t have that kind of money!
