after the relative horror of food lion (sorry jesse) and other nc stores, my friends refer to h-t as taj ma teeter
― mookieproof, Friday, 30 December 2011 03:35 (twelve years ago) link
In Greensboro, NC there was one VERY LARGE Harris Teeter* (at Friendly Center, on Friendly Ave.), which some friends called Taj Ma Teeter.
Food Lion wasn't bad, IMO. Some were, some weren't. There was a super shitful Harris Teeter in Greensboro (on Summit Ave.) that made Food Lion look opulent by comparison. It later became a Sav Yr Monee or something like that.
*When I moved to Chicago, I really missed the palatial, abundant Southern supermarkets. They're catching up in some parts of town, but it took some time before the feeling of austerity subsided. I don't now if Jenny (or Jeff) would agree, but I know a couple other NC transplants who did.

You know the Southern grocery store name I really love? Winn-Dixie.
― Sandbox Jesse, Friday, 30 December 2011 04:30 (twelve years ago) link
Walmart is putting the hurt on so many of these southern chains. There's one Winn-Dixie near here, over in Alabama...couple of Pigs, one Big Star.

I don't know what happened, I got in a cab intending only to bypass a slow train, and found myself giving my home address. Door to door service, baby.

The Jewel on Ashland/north of Diversey is comparable. Not as big as the super mega super megamarkets, but almost there. Too bad we always use peapod now anyway.

went on a rad first date last night
drank wine, during which I confessed my strange fascination with glory holes
he suggested we go try and find one
we DID
IT WAS AWESOME
no, nobody gave or received a beej.
Then we went to a soul DJ night my friend was throwing, danced a bit, then made out a bunch!!
A++++!!
― Homosexual II, Saturday, 31 December 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
sorry but how do you try a glory hole without doing a beej?
― nuhnuhnuh, Saturday, 31 December 2011 00:30 (twelve years ago) link
sounds awesome by the way
― nuhnuhnuh, Saturday, 31 December 2011 00:31 (twelve years ago) link
oh nm! i misread "go try and find one" as "go try one" lol
― nuhnuhnuh, Saturday, 31 December 2011 00:33 (twelve years ago) link
This should be the standard by which all awesome first dates are now judged. WTG HS!!!!
― VegemiteGrrrl, Saturday, 31 December 2011 00:34 (twelve years ago) link
i would enjoy finding a glory hole and taking pictures of quotidian objects stuck through it: a piece of paper, an empty bottle, etc.

-dad bought a new wastebasket with an automatic lid-the new wastebasket is too big and our shoprite plastic bags won't fit -dad now thinking of going to the dollar store, buying a smaller wastebasket and putting it inside the larger one so we can continue to use shoprite plastic bags

btw someone on the other side stuck their dick through the wall
― Homosexual II, Saturday, 31 December 2011 01:20 (twelve years ago) link
Was this a glory hole in a designated glory hole area or like in a public bathroom?
Also, I recall you being a woman, is that correct?
― Sandbox Jesse, Saturday, 31 December 2011 02:17 (twelve years ago) link
uh yes I am
can't women be fascinated with glory holes?
this was in an "adult arcade"
― Homosexual II, Saturday, 31 December 2011 02:21 (twelve years ago) link
Oh absolutely! I was asking 1. Bc of your screen name and 2. bc I wondered if maybe you snuck into a men's bathroom.
― Sandbox Jesse, Saturday, 31 December 2011 02:24 (twelve years ago) link
And interest in glory holes among male Homosexuals is far less remarkable.

In a dirty bar there was a dirty man who gave me his dirty card that showed his home address. There, he said, the door was always unlocked, allowing access to his glory hole. I've seen this kind of thing on Manhunt. It seems next-level depraved and creepy. And pretty fascinating, tbh.
― Sandbox Jesse, Saturday, 31 December 2011 04:36 (twelve years ago) link
the dirty bar was Clark's on Clark, which a few of you will remember
nuhnuhnuh, I tried to post this earlier, but it failed - are you elmo a?

I remember that Jenny was pissed that you gave out your address so freely.

My NYE plans include a supper of enchiladas filled mostly with leftover turkey, a fire in the fireplace, looking at all the past year's photos with my wife, then watching an Astaire-Rogers dvd, eating popcorn and drinking rum drinks. This is Big Fun for Those Past Fifty.

― cutehound, Saturday, 31 December 2011 19:31 (twelve years ago) link
Because a year measures one cycle around the sun, you can arbitrarily pick any day in that cycle to mark the end/start of a solar year and it would make about as much sense as any other day. When this was first pointed out to me in high school, New Year's Day lost much of its lustre for me.
― Aimless, Saturday, 31 December 2011 20:00 (twelve years ago) link
Wasn't it originally picked to be the winter solstice, so that the earth was being "reborn" as the new year began? Respect our pagan history, people!
