Playing on the tracks by hannah's frosty treats
Category: buffalo

I can believe those tracks are becomming suburbs. The giant sign says, suburban houses, urban lifestyle. We used to play on those tracks when I was a kid so much
It was a great way to get around and hang out unsupervised before we had cars. All the tracks around the suburbs connected.

We ended up covered in bugs as it was the day of flying ants. It was even worse in the streets. I have never seen then so thick.

All in all it was a 16.5 mile trip with a Carmel frappachino at the best buy plaza in tonawanda.

When I was a kid someone I knew lived near that Ice Cream Place and it was great.... Had no idea there was all that land though... there where tracks there?

Try lactocalamine lotion. It takes the itch right out and soothes the skin.

And I have poison ivy on my arms and legs. I washed them with tecnu, covered them in benedryl creme and it still itches like crazy. Hopefully swimming will help.

If you look at the map in full screen it kind of looks like there is a path on the railroad tracks, just on the other side.

Oops I reposted the kml file with the map. And (e:yesthatcasey) - that is an old phone. Its like ~2 years old.

Seeing pictures like this is one of the few things that makes me want to get a newer phone

Rock out with your cock out
Category: moving

Mike is finally in an apartment. I never thought it would happen. First thing that got a space was the decorative, bedazzled cock that my mom got him, lol. The spacy is actually quite large. it beats my first five apartments.

Sock and flip flops
Category: fashion

When I was a kid we used to make fun of my dad for wearing socks with sandals. Then I started doing it and everyone made fun of me.

Really it keeps your sandals way cleaner and I don't care what people think of me.

I guess my brother felt the need to take it to one up us and debuted socks with flip flops last week. Can anything top that?

metalpeter - 08/28/11 12:00
If you wear socks with sandals they at least have to be the right color you know like matching or the same at least or at least the same brand Like Nike or something oh god..... My feet are jacked so no sandals for me but what makes this even worse is those aren't sandals they are flip flops toe piece argh.......

Down in the tunnel
Category: subway

I never noticed a light on in the tunnel before. It looked so creepy but it gave it a lot of depth.

what tunnel is that?

Zabihah Pakistani Restaurant in Kenmore
Category: food

Times are changing. What used to be a KFC in my home village is now a pakastani ramadan buffet

.

(e:samathon1986) convinced us to go check out the delicious food. I tried to invite (e:tinypliny) but she was to busy and thought it would be too meaty so we brought one of our other vegetarian girlfriends, (e:holly), and she loved it.

(e:tinypliny) tried to scare me off with a text message:

gender-separated prayer areas! Is this for real?

I have to admit I was weirded out by that statement on their website but actually the place was awesome and had a lot of vegetarian options at the buffet. However there is no alcohol - which was fine for me.

The best part was the goat, the okra dish and the peach jelly. I love goat but barely anywhere serves it. I would totally go back.

In Terms of separate places to Pray that makes sense .....

.....Assuming it is run by Muslims or in the Muslim way....

I saw some documentary and they where in a masque and the men and women prey separately .... Now one can think what they want about that but one of the claims is that the women don't distract the men and vise versa ... It also seemed like the women enjoyed it....

The Point is that if people prey with only their own gender it makes sense that those same traditions, Practices and beliefs would take place at where one eats... I don't understand how Kosher works for Jews but I would assume in a Jewish Restaurant those practices would be followed as well....

metalpeter - 08/25/11 18:06
Damn It (e:Tinypliny) you are American and as An American Food must be your new god.. You must learn to go to the Buffet and stack the plate so heavy that you almost can't carry it even though you can get as many plates as you want... Your glass of Soda must be no less the 12oz... 32 Plastic Cup is the perfect size and you will learn to love it..... When watching an eating contest you will mock the loser since you can eat more then that wimp....

Of course I'm joking but in this country there is a love of food that is god like..... Seriously though I will get into the prey thing as a 2nd comment but Buffets are perfect for trying new food types... I will use Indian food as an example but this is true of any ethnic or new food to people... There is this belief that Indian food is spicy or hot... That isn't the case at all yes it can be made that way if one wants it to be but people think it all is... Now at a buffet (a good one at least) you can go up and try this and that and find out what you like and what you don't like... What if you order some $12 meal and you don't like it (not that it wasn't made good that is a different story) now you are out the money and only had a few bites but if you had the buffet and you didn't like it try something else.....

I guess my scare tactics are getting rusty. I need to hone them.

Actually buffets scare me. Something about the idea of unlimited tasty food is terrifying.
