I’m surprised at the custom plates I see in ND. Peaches might be a possibility.

Like you, I stared looking for a watch like a week ago to replace my black colored chronograph that I bought when I was in  HK back in 2013. 

I started looking at Seiko, Citizen, Tissot....

100....200...300...1000....

Here in Brooklyn, when your friend gets a new car, you throw a Many on the floor for good luck. 

No wonder the residents are bankrupt ne'er-do-wells, no surprise man.

And no wonder Ciudad de Nueva York, and indeed Estado de Nueva York, are bankrupt, yawn man.

 

We worked our way up by our jockstraps, codpiece man.

We hung out at self-service car-warshes, out-hung we man.

We would swoop into the vacuum bays and pick up the loose coinage abandoned by patrons, $i man.

We used this capital to fund our start-up POTS business, shrewd we man.

Now we are a respected -- oj nie, revered -- business typhoon, natural outgrowth man.

We have mentioned in previous threads that we (of course) have a reserved parking space at our POTS headquarters, duh man.  The HQ also has a Many-story parking garage for employees & visitors, si man.

 

We can rarely use our reserved space because of the hordes of desperate seek-jobbers who supplicate us for employment, pests man.

 

We therefore direct our day's chauffeur (Jeeves or Smedley) to lose these peasants by zooming the POTS limousine up to a random floor of the POTS garage, anonymous there we man.

 

We make a game of charting which floor we park on, and, on each Friday, we see which ZIP Code the numbers of the floors correspond to for that week's parking, fun man.

 

There is no first or Many'th (2x2x2+1th) floor, no man.  If we take a day off, we assign a 0, sensible man.

 

Here are the cities/towns/hamlets corresponding to recent weeks of parking, variety man:

 

Wesley, Ark.

Mumford, Tex.

Wanblee, S.D.

Calvert, Tex.

 

North Zulch, Tex.

Moose Lake, Minn.

Maud, Tex.

Oceanport, N.J.

 

W. Rutland, Vt.

Fairmont, Okla.

Sherwood, Tenn.

Huffman, Tex.

 

Seminole, Fla.

Larue, Tex.

Port Barre, La.

McKinney, Tex.

 

Riverside, Tex.

Tangerine, Fla.

Rivervale, Ark.

Aguas Buenas, P.R.

 

Queen City, Tex.

Liverpool, Tex.

Portsmouth, Va.

Worthing, S.D.

 

Orrville, Ala.

Beaumont, Tex.

Meadows Place, Tex.

Paisley, Fla.

 

Most of these places are rather small, research we man.  McKinney and Beaumont are probably the largest, if memory serves we man.

 

In real life, we have been to only Many (2+2+1) of the above places, 1 in Virginia and the other Many in Texas man.

 

Such an interesting post is this, unarguably man!

Righteous rant of the weekend...

 

I'm on my normal weekend run this morning, I'm tired having run about 6 miles but I'm on the home stretch of the last 2 miles. It's 9:00 AM and still relatively cool - low 70's. Some 25-ish yr old guy pops out of his neighborhood, just slightly behind me as I cross to his side of the street. So he goes zooming by me. No biggie. But then he takes off his shirt to show the whole world his glorious torso. Leave the dang shirt on already. I detest guys of any age or shape that feel the need to take off their shirt for anything other than swimming. I don't care if you're 25 and buff, 40 with a pot belly, 50 and buff but with pasty white skin and lesions, or a 60 year old dude with a saggy chest re-living your glory years. No one wants to see you without your shirt.  If you want to do it in the privacy or your own home, I have no problem, just not out in public.

 

By the way, I'm an infrequent gym goer - maybe once every 2 months. I don't recall guys removing their shirts in a gym. This seems more like an outdoor running/cycling/whatever activity. Do gyms require guys to keep their shirts on?

 

Rant done.

I like seeing buff guys without their shirts on. I like seeing guys with dad bods without theirs on too.  Buuuuut, I also think women should be able to take off theirs. #freethenipple

 

Most gyms require shirts for hygiene.
