At my store (which I worked at for 23 years and miss dearly), I would always let my regulars come in after closing if I could still serve them. If they had cash, I’d ring it up the next day.

That was one of 7 stores I worked in over the years (same company).

The other 6, hell no. Once they realized that I’d open the door after closing those bastards were coming up to an hour after I locked the doors. Same jerks every time yelling and cussing at me, “Well yer still here yuh faygit I don’t see why you won’t let me git a beer!”. Sometimes I’d stay late and hide in the office to watch a little tv before going home. It was always the same jackasses beating on the door at 1 AM putting their hands and faces up to the glass with stupid looks on their faces. I stopped letting them in after it became a problem for me and no matter how many times I said no, they’d walk their drunk asses to that store to try me.

It is amazing how much culture can change over 40 miles of road. I mean it, it’s crazy. Even the meth heads were polite and reasonable when they were in the middle of a 3 week, no sleep, hallucination fueled nightmare. “Ah, man. I’m so sorry that I bothered you. There’s people following me across the road so I’m just gonna borrow a little of your light here until someone I know comes to get me. I hope you have a good night.”

In that one store every local was always polite. I had two memorable assholes there over 23 years. At the others I had so many I couldn’t tell you.

Some of the sponsored shit is crazy too.

I was watching a video on a timeline of events with Puff Daddy and it hit this one part that went something like, “the young man said that Diddy wanted to play with his anus. Which reminds me of our sponsor, the law offices of so and so. Life is unpredictable and you or your loved ones could get molested too. If that happens you’ll need legal representation! Our sponsor will represent you…”.

Holy shit my brain shorted on that one.

Let me try again.

This is gold pressed latinum. :p

This is gold. Haha

Works for me as long as I’m on safari.

I won’t ever forget how cold it got here last Christmas in Appalachia.

I closed the store for the 24th and 25th. When I came back the place was flooded because the heat stopped working and the pipes in the ceiling exploded. The entire store was flooded and I spent the day after Christmas pushing water out of the store.

I had to take a heater and melt the ice to finish the job.

What a nightmare.

Atari 5200 Trek. I absolutely loved that game as a kid and I still have the box and manual to this day.

That and PacMan are the only two games I had on the system. A beloved neighbor bought it brand new in the box from a yard sale and gave it to me around the the time the SNES came out.

Once we got that the Atari collected dust. We moved on and beat Super Mario World over and over again.

I still have a sweet spot for that game. Unfortunately the last time I dug the Atari out the controllers didn’t work any more.

20 years?

Fuck I’m old.

I fell for it big time. Haha, bravo.

They deliberately misspelled Obi too.

Do what?

What power?

Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao. The dude the Beatles sang about when they said you won’t make it with anyone if you carry pictures of him.

OP will now be unable to make it with anyone.

Huhm…

Read my edit haha.

Why is this posted literally everywhere? Is something up with my browser? It’s always the climate change comic.

Edit: I’m a fucking idiot. I always overlook the one being posted for the one being promoted. Over and over again I’m all, “hurrrr uh, how is dis wewevant? Hurrr.” drools

Goddamnit.

Thank you so much.

Which one was it. Can’t remember it at all.

I love it. I hate the theme song. I love the show. There, I said it.

Now discovery. Oh boy. I reckon I’ll try again.
