Why do random strangers insist on smiling, saying hi and waving to me when I walk by? This only occurs when I am walking alone. Often these random strangers will insist in having a short conversation(like about the weather, or about the weather, or even about the weather,Often its an eldely gentleman insisting "put on a shweater young man , or youll catch a cold") Less often its a longer conversation,but that usually only happens with homeless people, or the mentally unbalanced. The strange thing is that other people will walk by the same person tending the same garden and not exchange a peep. And I'll walk by and have to hear just how bad her bunions/arthritis/gall bladder is doing, and her cat has stomach virus, and now her apple pie is burning.
Why? Do I look like a smiley, wavey, say hi type of guy? I really dont think so. (I always answer back, so u do have a point, except that I never initiated hellos, until I just joined em cuz I couldnt beat em) Dont get me wrong I have nothing against greeting people (im actually for it, friendly people make the word a cheerier and slower place) But why? (and since the question mark button on my keyboard didnt wear out yet ???????? ???? ??????)

I do? Is it only if I smile? What about if I walk around with a grumpy face and holding an ak-47? dyou think people will still think so?
no, but unless you somehow manage to secure a permit for one of those, chances you'll have a cop stop you to shmooze. the other way is to join the army, but then people will still talk to you cause your a soldies. I think its your face thats smiley, wheather your smiling or not.
i gotta get one of dem halloween masks. or a big pitt bull and scream "leave the nice lady alone Rover! No! Dont eat her!" that might work.
Ouch. I know not to say hi to you if we ever cross paths. Thanks for the warning.
i really dont mind. I just wanna know why. (i strongly suspect my perpetual cheerfulness, i mean who doesnt enjoy shmoozing with constantly high people)
get that mad t shirt that says: do i look like a fucking people's person? should do the trick.
what'l i do if people tap me on the shoulder and say "uh actually you do" ?
..then you get the 'i bite' t-shirt.
'cept i think they want you to taste their burning apple-pie for poison. that's why they initiate convos. sheesh thought you'd gussed by now..
we can always change it to 'i bite but spit out after' would that work?
Just offer them a cholent stick ;)
btw i havent had one in years, but u should really try it, its very easy to make. (an its called cholent pop)
Um... no thank you. Delicious, I'm sure, but I'll pass. I don't even like real cholent.
ur loss.
ye, I've seriously been meaning to try the cholent-pizza concotion. any special tips, or pile it on?
well i used shelis pizza and getty cholent (both in monsey) u just gotta smear a thick layer on top with a spoon. (buy the pizza 1st cuz its more important that cholents hot)
do i freeze abit so the choloent sticks or what? also, plain pizza or with topping?
pizza can be room temp. cholent piping hot. Iv only tasted plain pizza, buy if you wanna be adventurous- feel free. (u really should do getty cholent. though they only sell thursday nite)
is it not so good with homeade chulent? only bought chulent I ever tastedwas falafal and chips. it tasted like french fry spice.
doodly- and getty cholent is procured where exactly? (and what does it contain that makes it so good, pray tell??)
trix- i have a feeling the 'french-fry' space you tasted was called 'hwaj' (or chwayj). it's moroccan if im not mistaken. i use it in vegetarian cholent sometimes..
*spice
its a very good pareve cholent sold in the getty gas station in monsey on thursday nights. (im gonna b heading 2 there and shelis this thursday night) its not needed 4 the recipe, just make sure u can find a thick salty pareve cholent (the petrol aftertaste is really not mandatory)
i lurve filling tank up with gas and getting jagged on the smell..yum
what street's it on?
on rt 59, next 2 remsen.
Thursday night: I walked into getty holding a cold piece of pizza in my hand, and as the arab guy behind the counter looked on in amazement I proceeded to load it up with steaming cholent and devour it with gusto. None of u showed. :(
