The 70's kids all used "He goes," instead of said. I ask them, "where?"
Drives me nuts.

Ops, nope that's a short putt, not a drive.

A similar situation in ATL recently, with campers waiting for high-end tennis shoes, ended much more acceptably.

Man fatally shot after trying to rob people waiting to buy LeBron James sneaker in Atlanta

The unidentified shooter returned to the line after the shooting.

I loved this:

“I salute the homie that did that,” said Taylor White, who waited nearly a week in line.

“Previous generations learned to say “I said...” or “He said...” These archaic usages have now been replaced by “I’m like...” or “I was all...”

Correct. Not as archaic and certainly much cooler than the old stodgy phrases.

Another new and improved (and cooler) phrase is “I’ll do a cheeseburger”, rather than the antiquated “I’ll have a cheeseburger, please.”

Not in this line in this part of Houston with this segment of the population. Other areas someone would be packing.

Northern part of Houston is taking it on the chin with robberies and murders. Did surprise me that none of the people working in any of these places were carrying. Just really stupid. Of course the mayor and chief of police - who just suspended his own salary for one day because he hit a lawyer - just keep saying if people cooperate with the robbers and killers nothing will happen to them. BS!

I’m waiting for the first lawyer to start signing up “victims” to sue Apple for not providing security for these “customers” waiting to throw money down the toilet for the newest shiny thing. After all Apple created an attractive nuisance by allowing customers to camp out.

Just cutting the government out of the loop is all.
