I Don't Get It...What's the Big Deal?

[Doc Creed]

People that just stand on escalators. It's not an elevator, lol.
Bicyclists that want to cycle on main roads in heavy traffic.
Olive oil
Snuggies
People that take sports too seriously. Little league, especially.
Comb overs...just shave it, trust me, it'll look much better.
The word 'amazing' used for everything. (Hollywood is bad about this.) I feel like saying, "Really? That toast is amazing? How does it amaze you? Do tell."
People like me that are too opinionated, ha ha.

Yes! People that love sports like they would love a child! I don't get it...and probably never will.

Listening to it now...gorgeous!

I used to be able to do this one at karaoke, too. Just can't hit those high notes anymore.... People would sometimes come up to me after I sang it, asking who it was by. They were always shocked when I told them 'Prince!'.

 

[kingricefan]

Hazelnut is satan's spunk.

Oh my....

 

[kingricefan]

I think this is one of the first times that I have ever choked on unexpected laughter.

At least you weren't choking on....um.....hazelnut.....

 

[Dana Jean]

Yeah! you could've been choking on hazelnut!

Prince is transcendent, and I'll admit to being a guy who took a long time to "get" prince. I happen to live (now) one town over from the fabled Paisley Park and Prince is like a god around here. I think he blew more than a few people away at the Super Bowl a few years ago ... folks who thought he was just the Purple Rain guy.

I would love to meet him! Have you ever met him? The closest I ever got to meeting him was when he did his 'Hit-N-Miss' tour and, if you were a member of his fan club (which I was!), you were able to buy the concert tickets ahead of time and then you got to enter the performance hall 4 hours before show time, get your seats, sit thru his sound check and then after that he took questions from the audience for about 15 minutes. Someone told him that he and his newer music was the reason that they decided to become a father. That got him choked up abit. Comically, all he could say after about 20 seconds of silence was 'Thank you.' It was the best show for me, ever!

A friend of mine who has been to Japan numerous times told me that it is considered very rude to walk on the escalators. And, whatever you do, don't make the 'OK' sign at anyone either.

Rude in Japan? I admit I didn't know you were supposed to walk on the flat escalators at the airport and it took me a minute to figure out what it was, lol.

It's a conveyer belt for humanoids......

 

[HollyGolightly]

Thanks!
Yes, it's me.....got my hair cut on Wednesday and wanted to share.

Love it - you look gorgeous!

That'd be me. I'm frightened of them. I'll climb two flights of stairs to avoid them at the mall. Would much rather walk at the airport.

I had no idea he was this cool and down to earth. What a great guy!

I got my totes stuck in one when I was little. Sucked it right in. Almost me.
Much panic everywhere. Took the tote. Foot was ok. Mom relieved.

That's oxymoronic.

 

[Doc Creed]

That's oxymoronic.

Flat elevator would be oxymoronic. Escalate simply means to increase in speed.

Dude, I wasn't schooling you. Yes, I am aware of that. Words do have multiple meanings if that's what you're saying.
