Commented on It's not easy being a tamale street vendor in Los Angeles
@#24JAYTKAY I guess you're right. There's also the whole avocado/aquacate thing too (unless that's just a thing with me). Cranky mode is a little sensitive in regards to the names of foodstuffs sometimes. Standing down....
Commented on It's not easy being a tamale street vendor in Los Angeles
The singular is "tamal", no e on the end if you please. Also @#11 ERNUNNOS No need to be nasty. Not sure if you're familiar with the area, but MacArthur Park isn't exactly in a part of town that's full...
Commented on What do you call the shop on the corner?
@adamnvillani I've lived in different parts of L.A. County practically my entire life, and have never heard them referred to as bodegas except by New Yorkers. Maybe Spanish-speakers call it that or something, though one guy above said they call...
Commented on What do you call the shop on the corner?
Tha's right, "la licor". More commonly, "la licoreria". Whether they sold liquor or not that's what we called them in L.A. My mom now seems to call them "la tiendita", I think it's because most of her neighbors are Salvadoran....

Commented on LA's Secret Headquarters up for "best comic store"
They're okay. Good selection, but I've always found the place to be a bit too cool. My heart belongs to Hi-De-Ho in Santa Monica....

@Arkizzle: Lol. Sorry I probably shouldn't have opened that Pandora's Box, although I doubt I'm the only one thinking that. I guess we can try and close the lid and hope nothing comes out through the crack... Anyway, I think the discussion's moved on, and most of the "regulars" are kinda fading into the background. One opinion I have is that by banning Takuan, the Boingers are laying their community down on the ground, putting a pistol to its head, and pulling the trigger. All that will remain will be the twitching of a slowly cooling corpse. Well, that's melodramatic,...

Mother of Mercy! Is this the end of Untitled 1?...
buddy66 commented on Untitled 1
"Banish plump Jack and banish all the world." I've enjoyed y'all's company the past couple of years and have had a thousand laughs. BB was a bright spot in a dark time and I am properly grateful. I rarely added to this thread, although I engaged in some spirited exchanges elsewhere, and I always checked it out as a sort of bulletin board. I will continue to check in and lurk about on occasion but have decided to otherwise end my participation in BB's community. This business with Takuan is too much for me... It's time to transfer out of...

Damn Buddy, sad to see you go. You added a fine, true tone to the noise. Hope you'll drop back when it suits. You'll be missed....
ridl commented on Untitled 1
you know there's something about it all that no one talks about, or at least I haven't spent that much time mulling over, and that is that even if we fail even if the species dies and the planet is set back hundreds of millions of generations and all the languages are lost we can't fail we can't be lost and it's just not true because our timeline is one of infinite and somewhere we make it somewhere some iteration of me and you and everyone every decision I make somewhere I make the decision that I would make if...
