When I worked for Ralphs, Tiki Blue was f-ing everywhere. I guess that stuff is fairly popular down here.

Ralphs has been closing stores all up and down the state. Rumor has it Kroger is trying to shrink Ralphs to a tiny competitor, unload the company and bring actual Kroger grocery stores out to California...they wouldn't want to compete with themselves now would they?Quote:

Speaking of grocery store chains, were there a handful of games that fell into the middle ground when Sega starting packaging their games in cardboard boxes? I just picked up a copy of Risk in a plastic case to replace the one I have at home in the unsightly box.
a bunch of games were re-released in the card stock boxes that were originally released in the plastic clamshell.
one off the top of my head is Sonic 3, Edit: IIRC Desert Strike was re-released in the cardstock box too. I remember two different carts and I believe I remember the cardstock box as well.
If you are indifferent, there is no need to "assemble".
I am atheist, does that count? Will I go to hell?
Go to Texas, it's grocery monopoly gone wild!
When I was stationed in San Antonio, the *ONLY* and I mean the *ONLY* grocery store was H-E-B... There was one on every damned block. When I took the taxi to my airport as I was shipping home, I talked with the taxi driver, and he said HEB took over Safeway (I think he said Safeway...) and now has a monopoly and jacked up the prices. I know there's like two within a 3 mile radius of Lackland and one right off of Brooks. OK, Walmart and Target, also off base sold groceries, but still HEB is the only chain in San Antonio at least, but I think that is because they are headquartered there.
If you have access to a military base and the proper ID, shop at a commissary... food at cost, except you pay a 5% surcharge. Not too bad...

I'd always wonder how hell was supposed to scare me if I wasn't religious in the first place.
I had people say the same shit to me in basic when I said I was atheist... And yes I went to church, but it was go to church for an hour, or stay and clean the dorm. Sorry, but I'll try and chill for a bit. And it was the same deal with people trying to conver me. Yesh, like these guys where good Christians themselves :roll:
Atheist here also.

Well, I don't believe in any gods aswell, no reason to... Religious people make me laugh sometimes when they're talking about heaven and hell etc. I H8 Jehova's withnesses... at least showing my blood donor card keeps then away :3
I think I do a pretty good job being respectful with my atheism (although i'm really more agnostic). I can understand why people are religious, although the very idea of religion is laughable to me.
They are in Estonia too?Quote:

any door to door religion is annoying. Every time mormons come over, I always am sure to let them give me their pitch, but while they're doing it I always light up a cigarette and offer them beers.
Most of the time they leave.
One time, though, they said I'd realize smoking was damaging my temple (my body I guess is what they meant). I simply responded "I can't smoke if I become a Mormon?" The dude said no...so I said if I can't smoke I'm already in hell, what difference would it make to put off hell for the next 50 years or so.
They left too...hahahaha!
I don't get how appealing to something higher is supposed to convince me. I mean, we're here on earth and told to enjoy as little as possible...wtf is the point!?
