Yuck Barilla is disgusting I tried that once never again it was so rancid.

Funny thing, I was advised to buy only Barilla by trusty co-worker from Italy, Milan. I've tried different products and Barilla was kind of better than others. Later on I was told by a friend that Italy send their goods to Russia (and probably to other countries as well) with various quality, he meant that we never taste proper Italian pasta imported to our country because it would be of inferior quality. My friend implied that he had his sources and that he even had a business deal and close relationships with guys from Italy importing goods to Russia.
Perhaps that is the reason why some products are not good enough.

Maybe Mine was old.

I'm pretty sure stop doing X when intoxicated is valid in 97% of circumstances.

God bless modernity. o.O

Your making me feel nostalgic!
Oh how i miss the hell ride through bumper to bumper traffic to get to the mall, then endure the crazy ups and downs of mall car parking.... cars that block you while 'they' wait for a spot to open has to be my personal favourite.... or you see someone getting in their car and you get your hopes up to take their spot, then you notice they have a pram! Or the person in front of you is determined to wait for that spot despite a pram being involved!!
Then inside the mall you have to claw your way past the hords of slowbies and finally make it to the store all tattered, bruised and bleeding. Then when you finish shopping, everyone else in the store decided to finish shopping at that same moment and come hording at the counter in front of you. And whichever counter you chose, some idiot in front manages to conjure up a problem and you get to stand there watching all the other lines moving except yours.

And when you get back to your car thinking its finally all over.... NO, the one final icing on the cake is the massive struggle to get out of the car park because a thousand other cars are all pushing for the exits at the same time!!

But eventually you do survive the shopping mall experience;

I love malls.....mall walking in the early morning is fun and you get to be the first one in your favorite shops. :)

Also....no killer robots or zombies in our malls. :D

I also loved the old time video store experience.....those were the days.

..we don't have robots here either, but zombies, we got plenty of those.... :P

When you say old time video store experience, I think awesome hidden room behind a curtain.

Amazon and southern comfort don't mix well for me, thanks for the public service announcement.

im watching toy story 4 today

it will keep me from buyin' things for ooooh, a couple o' hours?

too bad they serve alcohol there. an' food!

Lol, durty mind you got there. ;)

I mean the fun of searching for the right film by reading the boxes and looking at the pics on them, and the odd yet ok smell most such stores had. Also the clerks were usually sometimes knowledgeable and turned me in the directions of many good films years ago.



So when do you think they'll be despaerate enough to keep the shambling corpse of toy story going with TS5?

That was actually quite awesome. Browsing physical copies of both games and movies was a much different experience from browsing them digitally. Somehow it gave it more value, even if the end-product is the same thing.

I mean, if you actually pick something up and rent it after careful consideration, you're invested in the movie and will watch it and give it a fair shot. If something doesn't interest us on Netflix after clicking on it on random, we'll just click something else on random.

Good points.....I wonder if in the future such places will come back more as "hipster" or nostalgia places by people wanting to make a buck or fill a need held by some?
