A guy in the subway sat next to me, reading L. Ron Hubbard's A History of Man. I didn't ask him if he was reading it ironically.

Whatever happened to the Euroattitude that short pants can only be worn by children?

I wasn't aware that such an attitude existed.

I would have called it old-fashioned, not European.

I can definitely recall some conversations from Paradox or the early days of Languish in which Yuros gave Americans grief for wearing shorts.

Keep in mind that Germans are basically the Americans of Europe.

I bought a belt, summer shorts, two pants, four short-sleeve shirts and four white t-shirts today.

For the record, I did not ask for advice during my blueberry poisoning episode.  I was too paralyzed to post.  I only shared my experience once I figured a way out of my predicament.  :mad:

Thanks for the break. You should do that more often.  :P

I was at BK today (ha garbon!) and a garbage feeder pushed past me on his way into the restaurant. Fucking filth, I thought. Then a while later and a few blocks away I was making my way through the hordes of tourists on my way to Old Town, when this same guy gets in my way for a second. I was like fuck man! If I had been carrying I would have capped his bitch ass right there. For sure.

I almost collided with billionaire and Nike co-founder Phil Knight coming out of an elevator a few minutes ago.
