LosMediasBlancas Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Has anyone tried the new Coca Cola Blak? They were giving them away downtown. It's basically Coke with a shot of expresso in it. It tastes like butterscotch candy, but man I was WIRED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 If the people who package CDs don't start making them a little easier to open, I'm gonna start illegally downloading my music. Nothing like taking ten minutes to get to the child-proofed CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I don't know if you guys come across many of them, but downtown there are a lot of panhandlers. Do you ever give them money? Never? sometimes? always? If sometimes, how do you determine when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one day she saw a guy with a dog, and a sign in front of the dog that read: If there is no dog behind this sign, I ate him. She gave him a few bucks.

Do you ever give them money? Never? sometimes? always? If sometimes, how do you determine when? If they make me laugh, I give them a little bit. If they have kids with, I usually give them something. If they look psycho, I give them a little bit. True story, in my little corner of the world, there are two country clubs. The old school, old money, boring club and the one I belonged to. About two blocks from their club is an overpass and a regular "personal fund raising entrepreneur" who was always there. I was leaving the club, and had just received an ugly cap with that club's logo. I gave the guy the cap and told him everytime I saw him, and he was wearing it, I would give him a dollar. He looked damn good in it. For about three weeks, I was giving the guy a few dollars a week, and so were a couple buddies of mine from the club. All of a sudden, he's not wearing it. Someone from that club gave him $40 for the cap. The offer started at $5 and I heard later the guy explained he was making $5 a day with that cap. LOL.

The Critic Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Depends on the situation. I work overnights on Sundays, so if I get approached on the way back to the car at 2 or 3am, I generally give something. During the day, not usually. One time I was wearing a Reds batting practice jersey and this guy walks up to me ( seemed to be enjoying some "adult beverages" along the way ) and says "YES!!! THE BIG RED MACHINE!!! OHhhh, man, I remember THAT team, boy!!! There was Joe Bench.....and Charlie Hustle.....and Johnny Perez......and MORGAN. Man, those boys could PLAY SOME BALL!!!" So I'm just smiling and chatting a little, trying to ease my way outta there, when he pulls a beat-up Streetwise out of his jacket and says "Can one Reds fan help another one out?" He got me, I expected a "request" for some cash, but not the Streetwise! I gave him two bucks - one for the paper and one for the act! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a good emergency, stuck on the road, whatever story. I'll suprise some of the tellers, if I can bust their story, I'll still give them some coinage.

LosMediasBlancas Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I've seen some creative attempts, like the guy who 'helps you' flag down a cab, or opens a door for you. My car broke down once and I was looking under the hood when the neighborhood drunk came up to me and gave me his 'former mechanic professional advice', then asked for a few bucks.

The guys who are making s*** up, and you know and more importantly *they* know it are fun. The guys who are talking s*** because they don't know where they are, scare me. Give me the drunk who makes up stuff, has no earthly clue, and I'll give him a couple bucks and remember why I miss YAS* when he doesn't post for a couple days. *I kid because I care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
