TV Discussion Fisto's Disco: The LACWAC Social Thread

I love how people always blame the cellphone company when they are getting telemarketing calls or spam calls, sometimes from companies posing as said cellphone company. I'd bet anything that if I went through these peoples social media sites I can find where they put the cell number somewhere on the internet and thus this happens. I shake my head everytime someone just throws out their mobile number, name and last four in the open on Twitter.

 

I'm late to this discussion, but same for me. I know nobody here in Atlanta (the home of Coca-Cola, mind you) who actually says "Coke" to refer to any carbonated soft drink. Everyone says "soda". So the map seems off to me too. The only people I've ever known who said "pop" were from Minnesota.

 

I mentioned having seen this map to some of my coworkers, and when I chuckled at the idea of a conversation going something like:

"Would you like a coke?"
"Yes, please."
"What kind?"
"Pepsi"

One of the interns mentioned having a room mate from Texas that does say things like that, and uses "coke" generically to refer to any kind of soda/pop.

 

'Soft drink' it is for me.

 

Sure, and this alcoholic drink in my hand is Capri Sun.

 

Just wanted to pop in here and say that I'm still around despite not having posted a lot recently, mostly due to the TCW bonus content (season 6) not having reached Netflix over here yet; once I've watched it, I hope to become a bit more active and discuss the arcs/episodes. I feel so left out.

 

Poor you.

 

Du-u-ude! You've got one vicious nine-year-old!

 

Hey all! Guess who's back? After a nearly two-week long break from the boards—I've been contemplating, thinking over life—I've decided to return since I miss y'all. It's been relatively slow here until Wonder-con anyhow, I expect.

Anyway, RL kinda got in the way, and I'll still be very busy for the near future, but I'll definitely try to drop in every now and again to check on things. Sometimes, it feels good to spend time away from the Internet and imagine that you're somewhere else. I've been compiling a gallery of some awesome places with breathtaking scenery. Enjoy!

Welcome back. Yeah it says something when you need a vacation from the Interwebz. WB Circular Logic! Who you kidding about being able to stay away from here for long? If you need I can point you to a couple forums I know that will give you a whole new appreciation for us. Cool pictures.

 

ok, don't shoot the Star Wars TV newbie, but what does LACWAC stand for, if anything?

 

I forgot today was Easter until I got a chocolate Easter Bunny. Partly because Fridays are my version of Monday and I lose track of the days, kinda cuz no one said anything at work, ad kinda cuz I gotta work today. Happy Easter and lots of lime jello cake for everybody!

 

Happy Easter all! Im spending it in the Cape with the family, going to make our yearly visit to the yacht club for Easter dinner.

 

So, last night I was driving home from work and some dip**** rear ends me at a light.

 

Of course, that dip****'s insurance will pay for it, assuming the person has insurance.

 

Been down that road myself, this week... I should have gone mudding.

 

Thanks for the words of kindness all. I'm fine, it was basically a fender bender. It's just really annoying because it was practically a new car.

After the accident I drove home, downed a bottle of rum, and had dinner. I then woke up this morning for work, struggling not to throw up from the slight hangover.

Holy **** I'm a mess.
