Do you want elitist grocery stores in LA? Because that's how you get elitist grocery stores in LA.

This is missing the rest of it where he says "we were probably there too" (paraphrasing, I don't remember what was actually said) implying that either the US or white people were there 500 years ago. It is really ridiculous.

I mostly wear dresses as I find them to be the most comfortable option, and I've only bought them with pockets for a long time now. No pockets? No sale.

They wouldn't float either because that much mercury would cause the floor(s) of the building to collapse.

Around 2004 I had just recently graduated a shitty tech school as a DBA. Soon after I got a job via my father for one of his college buddies. My job was to convert old cobbled together FoxPro into something relatively modern. I was also hired simultaneously to the same company as a Java web developer and had to combine the two. I spent 2 hellish years there and haven't touched code since, which sucks because I used to really love programming.

Various kinds of places used these. There is a drive thru liquor store near me that still has one. Surely cheaper to keep that than installing anything new when ringing a bell works just as well.

Maybe it wasn't obvious, but I was referring to the runtime of the Javkie Chan movies.

I... what? This is so incredibly far from where I stand on the matter that I can't relate at all. Give me the gift card, please. I've never received a gift card that I didn't use within a week.

It covered Rush Hour and a portion of Rush Hour 2. Not 3, because the city is no fun.

Thanks. It still doesn't make sense as a joke for me, but at least I see the punch line now.
