In Which I Share With You the Best Song that Played as I Grocery Shopped

Dude everything is going your way! Have a blast

Sat 2/29 Giant

Proclaimers-500 Miles.

When I was 22 i lived in London for a summer. One night i went to a club and someone approached me to tell me that their Scottish friend fancied me and thought i looked like the Proclaimers, with my short hair and glasses.. I did try talking to her but i couldn't understand a word she was saying in a loud club and with her accent. Maybe she should have told me i looked like Bros.

When I was 22 I shared an apartment on campus with three friends…one of them was named “Leith” and he had hundreds of CDs including The Proclaimers “Sunshine on Leith” so we listened to the 500 miles song…

(Adding story about girl to make story more James Fordian) I had a crush on this girl Anne, introduced her to Leith, and of course they started dating and eventually got married! they live in Philly and we’ve hung out with the kids…can’t say I have kept in touch with many other people from college

Back to the song, it became a hit years later, I think, when it was included in Benny and Joon


Or I could have it all backwards

Yes, you do have the song story right. My story took place in 1989, though i was still well aware of who the Proclaimers were….guess we both lost the girl, but did ok anyway…

Well I did follow up my Whole Foods stop with a proper pre-show, stop, along with a fellow forum member. Right Proper.

It was empty of both people and anything of value… I ended up buying more things that aren't necessity vs. essential items but will probably be enjoyable to eat while I drink Other Half ipas from Downtown Crown.

The Harris Teeter part. And the IPA's part. Can't believe i risked my health for a gaggle of bananas and two jars of antacids. Hopefully, my wife has better luck tomorrow of Friday morning at our local Giant with a big stock up of essentials.

Best song i heard while at HT was REM-Losing My Religion, which seems a tad more appropriate.

My poor diet daughter has been begging to go to the grocery store with her mother (she doesn't beg to go with me because i refuse to give in to her demands for garbage food.) so she can nag her mom into buying a bunch of crap.

I'm being a good parent by saying only one person needs to go to the grocery store at a time, and it's not the one who had pneumonia when she was a toddler, right?

You’re a good parent but I don’t get what you like about Harris Teeter!! That store does zero for me.

I actually never shop there. I just happened to be in the neighborhood and thought "Maybe they'll have some of the shit my local Giant is sold out of." They didn't.

Go.to your local asian or latin market. They have everything.

No thanks. That's where this shit started in the first place.

But yeah, i did have a thought that it might be worth checking one out.

I heard that the virus was traced to a food market in Wuhan, China. Is that incorrect?
