Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
So October 30th... I suppose Hillary is a hologram now? I give up. "Disinformation is necessary" and all that. Well, it's Halloween here in Japan. The police have been out in force in the Shibuya part of Tokyo. That's where everyone goes for Halloween each year. There have been some bad happenings in years past, and they've actually been committed by Japanese people. A police patrol car got overturned even. Shameful. A year ago in Korea, the Halloween crowd in Seoul was crammed in some sloped alleyway for some reason and people fell on each other. People got smashed to death. Crazy. And crazy to think that a year has passed since then. So the Japanese Nanny State has the streets of Shibuya all blocked off with signs saying that people cannot celebrate Halloween. I think the incident in Seoul has given them an excuse to stop the crap that has transpired in previous years. The whole situation is weird.
I mail-ordered a squeeze bottle of nacho cheese. Tonight I'm gonna splorch it all over a plate of corn chips, add sliced jalapenos and olives on top, and watch the first Halloween movie with my wife. I've seen parts of it, but cannot remember if we've ever seen the whole movie from start to finish.
