Will downtown Okemos be hip?

if by "hip" you mean a prosthetic store specializing in ambulatory devices specific to patients recovering from hip replacements, then, yes.

I think Okemos should build a winning football program before they do anything else. So tired of seeing communities invest in stuff that doesn't matter.

Oh Bob... I've tried to hate on ChickFilA too... but them sammiches are so good.

Same with the cheap cheap prices of Walmart and vast selection of stuff at Hobby Lobby.

My political will doesn't trump my cheapness (or fondness of juicy chicken delights) apparently.

I have my health to worry about.

however, doesn't Okemos already have a ChickFila, a Wal-Mart and a Hobby Lobby??

I could be wrong.. if so, it sounds like my kind of place.

(if only it was Up North)...

I'm not sure I can trust your judgement on this one Bob. From what I gather, the only time you leave EL is to travel to North Carolina.

True, but he goes to the Up North part of North Carolina.

I only bought them for travel (hotel showers/floors) and for the beach. I evolved though, I get so lazy sometimes I wear them around.

I suspect lots of people in Okemos wear sandals.. just pull yourself up a pickle-flavored slice of deep-fried Jesus and you'll fit right in.

Note to self: You are not cool enough to hang with swillers... They will definitely judge you on your footwear and probably your alcohol choice.

Deliciousness. Serious man. Good stuff.

Yeah there is the crazy... but come on, EVERYTHING is crazy if you really think about it.

(Hell, Hendrick Meijer's grandkid was primarying Amash for actually having the balls to stand up to Trump... but I gotta grocery shop SOMEWHERE???? Let alone Walmart being the biggest welfare queens in the country, owned by right wing nuts....)

First of all, you can go fuck yourself.

I think the Dude in Big Lebowski wears some at the grocery store with his bath robe. When I'm lazy I wear them around.

I'm fairly certain the Dude wears jelly shoes, not flip flops. Regardless, it is a bad idea to try to emulate the Dude. No one can really pull that off.

Side note, during my time at MSU, there was a guy I saw a few times waiting at the CATA stop in a bathrobe. Clearly a Big Lebowski fan, and also clearly not pulling off the look. It was kind of sad.
