prefer a cupcake to a slice of cake. at least its portioned somewhat correctly. Most times you get a slice of cake its its some heaping mess of frosting and cake thats falling apart everywhere.

I like cake and cupcakes. Probably why I've been fat most of my life.

I enjoy sugar in all its forms.

Hey guys, I'm gonna join Costco.

Whitesville population:you

I worked at the Costco in KoP. Had a coworker who was a rather large, older African American gentleman named Al. Al had the cushy job of standing around inside and pretending like he was going to help people (mostly the folks in that position didn't). Well, one day Al is standing around near the produce and a well-to-do white woman walks up to him and whispers "I just think it's so racist. They're making you stand by the watermelons." In telling this story Al's biggest regret is not responding with "Oh issa ok missa I love d'ese watermelons!"

Hey me too. I know exactly which Al you're talking about. He's a real good dude and he's still there but working as a cashier now.

Well at least someone is keeping score.

Any gift suggestions for my brother's 50th birthday? He's really into photography and running. For mine a few years ago he got me this limited edition watch that has all the various track world record times around the edge, and was apparently the fiftieth watch created by the maker. I never wear it, but it shows he went to some thought about it, which unfortunately raises the bar. We generally just spend maybe $50-75 on gifts, but for fiftieth I suppose I would extend that up to maybe the $150 range. I have a good handle on running stuff, but know nothing about photography, and I'm happy to accept any suggestions that have nothing to do with this but maybe relate to 50 theme. He also likes beer, travel and indie music, or what would have been considered indie music 15 years ago.

When did you work there? I made the mistake of moving to the food court which was populated by the slimiest of misanthropes.

Any places you two have gone together that he really loved? Like a national park or a city? A trip or vacation that was maybe significant

GoPro Hero camera. It'll seem obvious in retrospect. May be beyond your budget range, but checks your activity boxes.

I was at KOP from 2000 to 2006. Spent most of my time in pharmacy but my last year there was in the food court as supervisor. It was the worst year of my life. The hot dog smell was embedded in my skin. Then I "stepped down" from my supervisor position and moved south to open new pharmacies in Raleigh, Greenville, and Spartanburg. Then they moved me out to Seattle to work on the pharmacy helpdesk. Finally quit in 2010.

I was there from like 07-08.

Cakes are my least favorite dessert, but I still like cake. My ranking is as follows:

1. Ice cream
2. Pudding/custard based dessert such as creme brulee
3. Cookies
4. Pie
5. Cake (but I probably like a good cheesecake more than pie or cookies and consider ice cream cake as ice cream but if it's one of those ice cream cakes that has cake and ice cream combined then not so much.)

In addition, I probably like stuff like cookies and candy mixed in my ice cream more than plain ice cream.

No other details because the mother on the phone was frantic. Gets to the scene and the mother is holding the baby wrapped in a blanket. He asks to see the baby. She hands it to him and the baby's head falls off and rolls across the kitchen floor. The boyfriend got mad at the mom about something so chopped the baby's head off with a meat cleaver. Paramedic quit that day.

do you see what you started, ptoitwcftpp

I ALSO LIKE CUPCAKES

Drove by a billboard advertising "All In The Family" on one of the local channels. Seems like money well spent in 1974
