The surface of a bar of soap is ablative. Not so with a bottle of wash, much oess w7th a hand or cloth initially loaded with the stuff.

They’re still living in their parents’ basements

I'm continually amazed at the number of twenty-somethings I run into, who are still living with their parents. I'm not talking about kids that stay home while earning a college degree. I'm talking about blue collar kids who aren't pursuing higher education.

It's a real crisis, in my opinion. Youngsters that age should be well on their way to building their careers and families. I'm sure that many will snap out of it and get their lives on track, but many won't, which bodes ill for the children they bring into the world.

I don’t like plain avocado, but I love guacamole.

“That does describe American beers dead on.”

As we say in Canada: “(Many) American beers are like sex in a canoe.”

I’ll leave it to you to figure out why.

I’m helping to kill Budweiser, too, and I’m Gen X. Craft beer is simply better.

when I find avocadoes in the kitchen, I will give them to the neighbors.

I wish you lived by me. I'd take all those nasty avocados off your hands.

Wickles Pickles relish.

My wife loves their pickle slices, and just discovered their relish. She made tuna salad with some the other day, and it was delicious.

A bunch of Republicans were planning to get together at a BWW to watch one of the presidential debates. They got the prior OK of the gen'l manager the week before.

But when we showed up they told us they wouldn't be putting the debate on any of the TV's.

No more BWW for me.

Millenials are going for the hipster PBR which is horrendous IPAs that are unbearably bitter.

So even if you like real beer there aren't that many good selections in some restaurants.

Back in the day when you came to a strange town you were wary of the local establishments.

I looked for a gathering of Caddys.

Same here, in a previous job, the millennials I worked with ate nothing but junk food, non stop. Their work areas looked like the junk food section of Walmart.

They’re (ahem) “...close to water”?

(Which is not that far off the mark, unfortunately.)

my adult children, don't know if they're "millennial"...one 32 and one 39 but I can tell you...they like to eat crap mostly....

outrageously priced little plops of unrecognizable food...

they think they're cool because they eat Indian and thai food...

pot roast and real mashed potatoes with a rich and favorable home made gravy?....not a chance...

growing up we did NOT have access to avocadoes....too expensive for our working class family...

we didn't have much soda either...except ginger ale when you were sick or a special picnic that our church choir put on...

these young people have more disposable money to waste....

let hard times come and see how many avocadoes and latte's and thai noodles they're going to be able to afford...

they'll learn how to make banana bread and pot roast pretty dang quick...and potatoes...nice cheap wonderful and healthy potatoes.

Drank at Applebees a bunch of times ate there twice.
First time i pulled a twelve inch hair out of my mouth after biting into a quesadilla.
Second time being served a steak so mushy and rotten old it must of been a leftover from the 70’s.
UGH

"I find avocadoes revolting."

I find them revolting and disgusting.

Hope all is well at least once you clean that bilge out of your kitchen.

After being out of it and kind of sick all winter I did some outdoor work (trimming high-up tree branches) today. Kind of hazardous for an old man but didn't hurt myself. Subsequently, however, I started the lawn mower (pull rope) and nearly broke my hand. Ice and naproxen sodium.

Bar soap is disgusting, I agree. Why would anyone want to use soap other people washed with?
