Insipid

I guess I'll go full weeb speak this time. お誕生日おめでとう,リックさん。

I wouldn't go to a strip club in the first place. I never liked any of the girls I've personally known that said they worked as strippers, for one thing, so I imagine the club to have similar personalities.

The one I go to has the wait staff refill the drinks, so I feel a tip is necessary. I suppose that's fair, although buffet wait staff can probably handle more tables per person than regular restaurants. Of course, you can argue that doesn't mean their tip should be any different.

I normally tip ten percent if I sit down at a buffet (I do the standard twenty at regular restaurants). Today I got takeout from the buffet; you fill up a box and they weigh it at the end. I still tipped five percent, but I was wondering why? I normally tip ten percent for takeout, as someone had to wrap everything up. In this case, I wrapped everything myself. Would you still have tipped for takeout at a buffet?

I'm guessing premature ejaculation.

5 to 10, don't know exactly. Never paid, for the record.

I think there's a better Aero . . . never mind.

Nope. More pathetic. Here was a typical God Says No post: Title: Inuyasha Body: is on. Repeat thousands of times until you get over 100k posts.

I remember the hilariously pathetic bitchfights you and Zeni would have.

Happy birthday

lol

It's rather unfortunate I can't bump the one thread about who's the worst at reading the room.

Nope, I was completely wrong. Aldi Nord operates Trader Joe's, while Aldi Sud operates regular Aldi. Lidl is an entirely different company, and there are a few stores in the US, none near me.

Are there even any Lidl stores in the US? If I remember correctly, the equivalent here is actually Trader Joe's, which I agree is better . . . except that's more of a trip and the store is always very crowded.

Hulu had quite an anime selection at the time, and I believe they do again at the moment. I don't watch that much anime these days, so . . .

One just opened near me recently. The closest one to me before was about 15 minutes away, and I didn't go to it often as there were several grocery stores closer. Today I was in the mood for sausage, and I was able to buy imported sauerkraut, imported bratwurst, and mashed potato mix for about six bucks. I also noticed they really upped their game with organic produce and non-dairy milk. Also, I realize I'm getting old when I'm praising a grocery store. 😐

Dude, you're only a few years older than me. TV stopped being relevant to our generation ten years ago. Who cares? Use the fucking internet.

lol, Gemini alts. I guess nabs must have been warned.

Time for fun facts nobody cares about. I recall you saying your original name "Nameraka Hanzaisha" is supposed to be Smooth Criminal in Japanese. Hanzaisha is the more formal way to say criminal. The more common way is Hannin. The word Nameraka does mean smooth, but it's not used in Japanese in the sense of being cool like in English. Kakkoii is more appropriate. So, Kakkoii Hannin. There's your shitty new alt suggestion.

I meant specifically entertaining your crap, and before you call me out on it, yes I am eating my words now. At this point, I care more about the 20th anniversary than the future prospects of these boards. Fortunately, that's not contingent on it shutting down, even though I still believe that's the best thing to do.

lol, I know my contributions to the community have been shit. By compendium, I meant something like a scrapbook, a community effort to bring up lore of the ASMB through posts and images.

How is this overreacting? Traffic has gone down year by year; it never goes up unless certain incidents happen. Last year, IBers were complaining, new rules were implemented, traffic temporarily increased, and . . . nothing. This year, these changes take place after a survey, traffic may temporarily increase, and . . . probably nothing again. Last year, Pat was questioning why he keeps the boards around. This time, right in the OP, he explicitly mentions it may be a good time to pull the plug soon. I'm just saying it may be better to focus that energy on making a compendium of the ASMB of the last 20 years instead of dragging this place out on life support. So whether or not you disagree with my sentiments, just realize the idea to close the boards is in moderation's heads and has been there for a while now.

Mean girls club and dorks who still watch late night dubbed anime. A truly riveting legacy of the ASMB. 😂 Ok, I'm done entertaining that.

Maybe this is more a time to archive than reform, as I think once the novelty effect of change wears off this place is gonna be deader than ever. Closing the boards at the 20th year mark seems like a nice ending, in my shitty opinion.

Sigh, I misread this as cooch . . . which still works.
