At dr office waiting on my wife two trumpublican are trying to engage me in their conversation

Yea they been bitching about mask how Covid is not real. The one bitch is how the demonicrats are trying to let young kids get sex changes.

Trumpig 1 - WTF is wrong with them thinking say their child if it’s a boy wants to be a girl.

Trumpig 2- your wright it’s just evil

Trumpig 2- looks at me sitting and ask really screwed up what do I think.

Me - I replied to them both saying I identify as a Italian hoagie

They did not try to engage me in anymore conversation.

Now I’m hungry for a decent Italian hoagie you know with the sweet peppers and sauce loaded with the meats cheese.

43. I had one today, after 9 months. Philly area calls them Hoagies, however mine was cut as a Sub.
Mon Mar 8, 2021, 07:53 PM
Mar 2021

.

It was in a Styrofoam container. I had it in my TV room, by my home workstation. I started eating it and received a work call. I went into my office and returned 30 minutes later. I lifted the lid of the container again and started eating the half I was working on. Then, I looked down and something suspicious was noticed. The second half was missing the top of the roll.

While I was away, my dog must have jumped on my chair, lifted the lid, swiped the roll top and the lid dropped again. So, I cut the remaining part of the second half and made that my sub.

Goofus used to be a perpetually angry, willfully nasty little bastard boy, face twisted with hate, shoving people and throwing rocks at birds. Now he's just awkward and pouty, almost unconsciously rude without serious malice. I mean, Old School Goofus was going to become a serial killer. New Goofus will get busted for drug abuse.

A few years ago while visiting Jeannie's folks in the Texas panhandle, we stayed at her brother's
house. A nice guy, generous and hard-working, but quite red neck. His liberal daughter was also
visiting. The brother, Larry, was ranting about gays one night as we tossed back some tequila.
His daughter was telling him off. So she said to me "What do you think?"
I said, as I turned to look at Larry, "I think your dad is a very attractive man." Everyone laughed.

21. Try an OIP Sub If You're In SC PA
Mon Mar 8, 2021, 12:43 PM
Mar 2021

Bread is different than SE PA (assuming since you are saying hoagie as opposed to sub). I'm partial to the OIP in Port Royal or Tyson Hill. Especially good when it's served on warm bread. Usually go with the oil over the mayo. There are other OIPs but their bread is pretty standard.

Oh, I miss living close to an OIP (Original Italian Pizza) and make it a point to stop by any of them when I'm in the vicinity. (Your post ruined my lunch since what I had to settle for was far inferior).

Nice come back by the way. Accomplished the task without being rude. Need to learn how to do that myself.

from thoughts of nooses and Republican necks. If they were dogs they'd wear them out playing "fetch."

Not so long ago exploitive leaders fearing angry subjects would sic them on Jews or Catholic enclaves, or whatever group of "others" was small enough for even mobs of cowards to slaughter.

28. My brother is transgender
Mon Mar 8, 2021, 01:34 PM
Mar 2021

Various answers
My brother is transgender -note this is really the truth

I am so glad that Jesus loves the marginalized community he sure would stand with them and not talk bad about them -note this works really well if they’ve mentioned anything about Christianity

I don’t want to seem mean but my brother is so much better looking than both of you you might want to be careful because people probably think you were once females.

Just some thoughts. But I do like the hoagie sandwich and if I liked hoagies I would have to go get one right now.

Mon Mar 8, 2021, 08:33 PM
Mar 2021

I have never been able to say this in person but I have used it one the 'Net -

"If God wants to go on making gay people and transgendered people, he is going to do so, and your objection is not going to stop him."

(Bonus points if you can manage "she" and "her.&quot

Peter thought he was holier than God in Acts 10. He got schooled. (Yes, I'm being harsh on Peter since he was simply reflecting what he had been taught all his life. But that's what these people are doing also, and the need to be schooled.)
