ok! I need help everyone! My girlfriend's sister and her husband are stuck in NY at Laguardia with no where to stay, and no one to hang with. They had to come from Arizona to the Stanley Theater...

flomojopoanode Jul 11, 2007

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

B
brothermanOG 2004

Yeah really, according to you and a few others NYC will be utopia in the new system. They should go tour that peaceful area called the Bronx. LOL!!!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

i didnt say it WOULD but it could. WE DONT KNOW. let it go guero. LOL

B
brothermanOG 2004

The name is Dan... Sarcasm is my game... ;oP

And I prefer to be called a gringo. Thanks. Haha...

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

HAHAHAH gringo sounds so...demeaning. guero's much nicer. some even have it as a nickname. lol

B
brothermanOG 2004

I used to work with Mexicans at a supermarket. They cussed at me in spanish all the time. Guero and Gringo were widely used. Hahaha...

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

hahaha did they call you "gavacho" (sp?) thats the lowest of the low for a white person. lol

B
brothermanOG 2004

Oh, they called me lots of nice things. Some were pretty disgusting. I actually met my ex-wife by calling her a cuss word in Spanish. How romantic eh? LOL!!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

did she even know what you said?

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

I had to tell her. She didn't seem too happy about it. LOL!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 brotherman

you really have the winning words to get the ladies! LOL

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

It worked with her. Haha...

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

oh apparently!

well... Initially. LOL!!

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

We used to used the loudspeaker and say things like, "Chata vargas, please call the Deli". LOL!! I don't remember what that means. I hope it's not bad. Haha...

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 brotherman

chata/chato is short/stubby. lol i assume vargas is a last name. lol

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

Hmmm what else... They used to call me the spanish term for a woman's you know what on the loudspeaker. They'd be like, "C..... come back to the deli". LOL!! Those guys were nuts.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 brotherman

and your manager would let them do that?

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

The Mgr was oblivious to what they were saying.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

that same word.. pronounced almost exactly the same way, means "aunt" in Polish sooooooooo that's fun

B
brothermanOG 2004 juicymango

Sorry, we're talking about Spanish. That sounds amazing and all, but the "C" word in Spanish is just way funnier. ;oP

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

yes but when i was little and just came here from Poland and we were in a crowded place and i was calling my aunt in Polish.. and then suddenly people were looking at me weird and my aunt told me it was a bad word in spanish.. that wasn't fun.

Ok, that is kind of funny. Haha...

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

i know a couple people are going to be reeeeeeeeeeeeally annoyed. but brotherman is right i just heard a talk from our CO not too long ago. Again, there isnt a set scrip reference....but he pointed out that the 1st builder of a city was Cain, the second was Nimrod. The CO said these men are known as "Two spiritual losers. With his purpose of populating the Earth, the logistics are such that we can assume large cities were never Gods intent for the Planet." He said it fosters the haves and have nots. Used the insight volume as a refernce.

B
brothermanOG 2004

Yeah, since our little discussion a couple weeks back I've discussed this with a number of people in my congregation. None of them thought cities would survive. Also consider what Jehovah did to Sodom and Gomorrah. They were thriving cities of that time. Jehovah destroyed them along with the wicked people. So it would only seem logical that he'd pound NYC, LA, London, Rome, etc. to the ground as he did those cities. Can we honestly say those cities are any more moral than their predecessors? I think not. They are probably worse. And again, what good are cities without businesses? Not much. I think it's safe to say money won't be used in the new system. I think gatherings and recreation we enjoy in congregations today is what we'll continue in the future, not broadway shows or major league baseball games and other entertainment.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

i like this because you used things like "i think" and "safe to say" and "would only seem" instead of things like "this is fact"

yay!

B
brothermanOG 2004

I guess a little more tact works well, but in my mind I think it's fact. And it seems most others think the same. We have to remember Lot's wife. She merely looked back on the splendor of a city and died. It's a good lesson for each of us. Would looking back on NYC at Armageddon, be a life and death situation for any of us? Personally, I'd rather see NYC become a tropical island than have mile high buildings. LOL!

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

lol

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

seek peace. you stir up controversy among friends and for what?

B
brothermanOG 2004

I'm kidding around. No one should get offended. Chill chicko.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

you think I'm a guy or is this another instance where you're kidding around? I am not offended by you even if you are so oblivious to think that I'm a dude.

B
brothermanOG 2004

I'm lost. When did I call you a guy? LOL!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

Forget it.

B
brothermanOG 2004

I'm blowing you a kiss to make up. LOL!

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

that would only make her throw up.

B
brothermanOG 2004 web-toedchloe

Well looky here... It's my best friend, the master chef. LOL!! Don't you have some "To-do lists" to make for Donovan?

I'm on a role today! Boooosh!!!!!

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 brotherman

hahaha you really like to annoy peeps huh? LOL and the wrong ones at that! LOL you need to chill bruddah....kick back, drink a mojito, eat some tacos and relax!

B
brothermanOG 2004 socalgal

I'm going for a bike ride. I'm actually feeling awesome right now. Tormenting is something I picked up from being a big brother. LOL!

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 brotherman

and I'm sure you're really pleasing Jehovah and showing the new personality.

oh, come on guys.

B
brothermanOG 2004 web-toedchloe

Are you serious? LOL!! You obviously don't understand the concept of sarcasm. That is a part of my personality. If you don't like that, fine. Move on... I certainly don't need you examining my spirituality. I'm responsible for 3 peoples spiritual well-being, so back off. There's no reason to be Miss Attitude. Leave it at the door when you log in...

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

hmm i kind of want to hang out with you. Just no Rush allowed.

B
brothermanOG 2004 juicymango

See, I'm cool. I'll just play the songs without lyrics. LOL!

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

hmm that might work, the voice is really what i can't stand, the music is ok. haha.

B
brothermanOG 2004 juicymango

His voice is an acquired taste. They are the elite when it comes to playing their instruments.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003 brotherman

yeah you can listen to rush, chris can listen to yes, and i can just plot how to set the two of you on fire... hahaha...

LOL!! Him and I could be best friends. Haha...

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001 brotherman

^^^^ proving my point ^^^^

B
brothermanOG 2004 web-toedchloe

Proving what point? I think the point proved is that "Witchy Woman" by the Eagles is your theme song. Go cook a meatloaf or something.

Ooooh, you're so smart. SMRT.

um, they are a little annoyed about the flight and can use some good old fashioned christian brotherly love.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

when will they be leaving? i can ask some friends if they're available.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003
