the only unrealistic thing about the movie


the chevron larry visits to fill up his gas guzzler? it's clean & no one walks up to him selling a bag of oranges; in california chevron's aren't & someone always is, respectively.

That's a shame about the current state of Chevron. Once upon a time when I lived there I went out of my way to go to Chevron because it was clean and no one tried to sell me anything extra. Do the oranges look edible?



Cheese fries...next time.

reply

they look fine; i didn't say i minded the oranges being pitched.

reply

Oh, I get it. The oranges need a cleaner environment

The unrealistic thing about the movie for me was towards the end when Mercy was sitting in the booth at Frank's, twisting her head like an owl so she could gaze at Larry. I don't care how good Larry's grilled onion smell is, nothing is worth that kind of trauma on your neck



Cheese fries...next time.

reply

yeah. that was odd. what about frances throwing away the margarita? she claims she's her friend? friends don't throw away their friend's 'ritas!



His name...was Julio Iglesias!

reply

Such a waste! It's almost as bad as Rose 'Dawson' throwing the Heart of the Ocean into the sea. Frances could've donated it to someone who was in need and margarita deficient.



Cheese fries...next time.

reply

almost! there's cointreau in it too! that's like $40+ a 5th!

We should all do that . Belated Happy Thanksgiving!

On another note, I forgot that Penny from Big Bang Theory has a tattoo of "soup" which is supposed to say "courage" in Chinese. Do Talia and Penny have the same tattoo artists?



Cheese fries...next time.

no wonder they are more expensive. http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Gas-Prices-Is-SD-Panicking-or-Pr eparing-165434446.html

I missed this post before. How are gas prices in SD? I'm surprised at how 'reasonable' they are around here right now.

saw some around around $3.70 today.



Hey, sprechen sie talk?

reply

The highest in this county is slightly less than that. Close to where I am it's about $3.30.


reply

adding a slurpee to the mix brings some chillin' relief.



Hey, sprechen sie talk?

reply

Now I want a Slurpee! I have too much of a sweet tooth this week. I forgot to say before that I was surprised to see gasoline down below $3.00 a little while back. It should always be that way. Or have cars that run on water, banana peels, discarded beer, etc.



reply

those cars would rock! mixin' up the slurpee is the best part!

the new fanta peach raspberry flavor is amazing!



Aloha, Mr. Hand.

I'll get it next time I go there. I saw that post as I was heading to a different convenience store on my bike in the rain . The radar showed a slight break in the rain, so I headed out as fast as I could. A neighbor said, "Good night for a bike ride." I said, "Oh, yeah!" Just some sprinkles



reply

good job!


they also had a tasty barq`s root beer flavor; but haven't seen it for a couple weeks.



Aloha, Mr. Hand.

reply

I'll get that one, too.

A few posts up^^ I mentioned seeing gasoline below $3.00. I saw it again last week. I couldn't believe my eyes.



reply

lucky you! it's great.



Aloha, Mr. Hand.

reply

I was going to say we have $1.99 gasoline here! But then I saw on the news there's a station with $1.69 gasoline ๎€†. I see that you have some Costcos selling it for less than $2.40 in your approximate vicinity ๎€ฎ


reply

nice! ๎€ฎ

that's a great price @ costco. think it was 2.80 at the place around here...๎€ท

but i don't really use my car that much. so i only have to fill it up about every 2 weeks.
