I understand that, what I don’t understand is how the hell do they stay open? Is it some kind of money-laundering thing?

Because nobody wants to pay that kind of money for sunglasses.

Oh, and at this point the mall is probably filled to about, say, 33% capacity. It’s really pathetic to actually go out into the mall. There’s an echo.

By: Rando the Floydist/Beatlist

Rando the Floydist/Beatlist — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:35:21 +0000

Oh, most of us are pretty well resigned to the fact that the mall will close. The question is how long can they keep pretending that place is going to survive. They attempted to turn it into an artsy place, turning vacant stores into places for theatre companies, art galleries, and activity centers, but sadly it hasn’t helped a bit. Outside of a couple 3rd rate mall chains, a GameStop, and a Gap, our Sears is about the only reason to go there. Yet somehow our store still pulls in decent numbers especially considering the circumstances.

Oooh. We had a mall like that. It…finally closed. Hope yours doesn’t. After it closed and before they finally tore it down, the old parking lot made a great place to teach kids to drive, though. Unfortunately, it also turned out to be a great place to dispose of bodies…they found at least two there when they tore it down.

No Sunglass Hut, though. (Why is there a Sunglass Hut in every mall in America, and it’s always got 2 or 3 douchey looking employees hanging around and NO customers? Every time….)

Sounds like Crestwood Plaza in St. Louis. Uh, not that I work at that mall or anything. I wouldn’t know anything about both Macy’s & Dillard’s closing leaving only Sears as the sole anchor store. And I wouldn’t know anything about Subway being the only place left in the food court. *sigh*

Well, that’s a crappy mall. There’s not even a Sbarro. Or a Gap. What the hell kind of mall are we running here?

By: wallFly

wallFly — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:16:27 +0000

“National” Mall, I think is the correct term, but most people ’round town just call it the Mall. And it refers to the swatch of land that stretches from the steps of the Capitol building through to the Lincoln Memorial.

By: paws4thot

paws4thot — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:06:14 +0000

Whereas I was entirely serious; I had the impression that the Capitol was in the Grand Mall, but the Mall term included the surrounding area.

And my original thought was that it was meaning porky pie but that didn’t seem to make sense here…

Don’t listen to government entities. They pork each other.

“Those” recipe’s generally don’t include raw meat… bacteria and such becomes a danger.

I don’t know if this fits here, but I seizure very concerned about the topic.

@pittypat. Is it a kitchen recipe, or was it one of ‘those’ recipes?

By: viking gal

That there are! And I think ‘rogering’ came from your side of the pond…

Just remember: YOUR congressman loads spending bills with lots of worthless pork, MY congressman quite rightly brings back federal dollars to repair roads and schools, and create jobs in my community.

This caption is even more ironic considering all the congress sex-scandals… So they’re porking each-other too…

There’s this Mexican joint in town that makes some INSANE grilled pork burritos. They serve them cut in half and each HALF is almost as big as an entire Qdoba burrito. Amazing. I want one now.

AC, if you’re not in the U.S. how would you know about “pork-barrel” projects? Not a clueless question at all. *pats AC on back & gives cookies*

I dunno. I was just calling it the giant mall that’s in Minnesota to be a smartass. I know that’s not the Mall of America.

…and agreed, pork-the-meat is awesome in sandwiches and otherwise. Mmmmm….need to make carnitas again soon.

Well, that’s the type of question where I’m fairly comfortable relying on Wikipedia.

That does seem much more well worded than my definition. Still tastes great on a sandwich.

Apparently it's an almost exclusively American English term, which would explain your confusion. Pork barrel is a derogatory term referring to appropriation of government spending for localized projects secured solely or primarily to bring money to a representative's district.

Now I’ll have to have pork for lunch. Thanks for nothin, VNV!

It’d be a huge waste of time and money since you’ll never find something that never existed.

Also, ‘porking’ can be a reference to sexual intercourse. Like ‘rogering’.
