      Mega, you really should get a sewing machine, even a used one. I herited mine from me granny. (Though it's a "modern" Singer from I think late 70ies). They come in handy in all sorts of stuff.

            Does seem like an odd match.  Might have to buy some Filson stuff, just in case things go sideways when Chai gets there.

              Dear Mr. Idiot at the Madrid Airport:

              The machine that you just walked through 4 times is called a "metal detector".  It detects METAL.  So your pocketful of coins will set off the alarm, requiring you to dump the coins into a container, put the container on the x-ray belt and for you to pass through the strange machine again.  This will also happen with the oversized ridiculous metal belt buckle you are sporting.  And also due to your FUCKING keys.

              Thank you.

                      Can't stand facebook.  I deleted mine in 2007.  It was good decision.

                        Facebook has it's uses, like anything in life so long as you use it, and it doesn't use you, then you're on good ground.

                          What made me sit up and listen was when I was perusing the site with a mate and realised that the FB like button (on every product page) gets hit many more times than the twitter or the google ones.  That suggests to me that there are a load of people out their who  actually do like FB, so I'm doing my best to embrace it…...

                              I will agree with you there.  I am sure it will get you more coverage.

                                Alright, so people texting while driving is obviously a horrible idea, but I have run into a ridiculous amount of people lately who insist on texting while walking from place to place.

                                There they are walking through the hall texting, up the stairs texting, taking a shit texting.  Not only this, they are slow as hell doing it.  Apparently, to put that effort forth to the phone, it requires walking like an old person on ice.

                                I mean come on.  I am pretty sure you can put your phone down long enough to stop texting in order to walk from your desk to the bathroom.

                                Just because you want to look important on your phone does not mean I need to be 5 minutes late for a meeting.

                                        This is a weekly discussion between my friends and I here in NYC. Like Lando, I am a straight up asshole on the sidewalk. Unless you're elderly or a purty woman you are getting checked. It's astounding how many people can't grasp the concept of walking on your right side. That's the socially acceptable side to walk on here in America.

                                        I've lived here over 5 years now and not too long ago I just got fed up with it. I don't move out of the way when I'm walking now. If they're not paying attention they get a very bad wake up call by getting hit with a short glass of 230lbs worth of IH gear saying "get the fuck out of my way motherfucker." It's the same reaction you'd give someone driving the wrong way on a one way street.

                                        This comes to mind.

                                          I equate that to groups of people at the mall that walk like 4 side by side and take up the whole walk way
