Jeff, I don't think so! Just young people wearing tall dark socks I associate with old men with metal detectors on the beach in Florida.

if it's long black socks on a man wearing shorts I think about this old man who used to jog along a local street in short shorts and dress socks

I got some nice dri-fit black socks that are long, but I mostly wear them with correspondingly long workout pants

i've seen men in shorts and black socks who looked pretty cute, but i think they would have looked cute regardless (sort of like the cute girl with a bad haircut is still cute)

i'm never talking about yogurt again if i can help it
it's too embarrassing

stonyfield is not bad but I prefer more tart. I will say Costco in my area sells this "indian style" yogurt (although I can't tell what's particularly indian style other than being marketed probably to local indian communities) that's plain, full-fat, and like $4 for the biggest tub I have ever seen.

You mean the biggest tube, right?

I get enormous 5 pound containers of plain yogurt from the Indian store around the corner, probably $4.99, don't remember exactly.

Tubes of yog are weird but what gets me is "Chobani CHAMPIONS TUBES"

But I drained at least two and a half boxes of those tubes without shame b/c they were easy on my flayed and cauterized throat scabs.

Trader joe's European style yoghurt is pretty good and not at all sweet. It tastes like yoghurt should in my book.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Thursday, 23 January 2014 05:46 (ten years ago) link

Yes, that was actually our go-to brand when we did more shopping at Trader Joes, we just never make it there now.

damn it, Je55e, I thought I'd removed that picture of your throat scabs from my memory but it just came back

mh, Thursday, 23 January 2014 14:44 (ten years ago) link

Yeah me too. I don't think I'll ever forget it. Looked like a rotten stuffed olive!

mambo jumbo (La Lechera), Thursday, 23 January 2014 15:01 (ten years ago) link

The throat olive of a CHAMPION.

now I'm embarrassed all over again

Evil Juice Box Man (Moodles), Thursday, 23 January 2014 15:43 (ten years ago) link

I won't post a picture, but I am taking requests for emailed pics of my scabby goozle.

Je55e, Thursday, 23 January 2014 19:10 (ten years ago) link

nah, I'll stick with the one where you're mugging next to a raccoon

mh, Thursday, 23 January 2014 19:13 (ten years ago) link

I only posted that b/c I wanted to say "scabby goozle."

Je55e, Thursday, 23 January 2014 19:15 (ten years ago) link

oh, we know

people proselytizing on street corners/public places make me irrationally embarrassed — not for myself but for them — in some a sympathetic "stop drawing so much attention to yourself!" kind of way. i'm not sure if it's totally innocuous.

just purchased passion-fruit chobani at the grocery store, but i don't think i'm ready to eat it yet

mookieproof, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 00:42 (ten years ago) link

haaaaaaaa

it is so delicious, that's the worst part
lately i have been buying the big containers of plain yog and adding my own flavors and it's turning out pretty well. rose petal jam + lemon curd was way better than any commercially purchased yogurt INCLUDING passion fruit chobani

god even writing that sentence i felt embarrassed (ashamed more like) for myself
enjoy your yogurt

speaking of which, "passion fruit"

although I am not entirely convinced that there actually exists such a fruit

Can't do the seeds in that yoghurt, they creep me out

the phrase 'big ideas'

j., Wednesday, 5 February 2014 05:20 (ten years ago) link

An ex-friend of mine used to use that to imply someone was overweight. "he's got big ideas..."

word to dwell.com for not falling into that

mh, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 14:56 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, they could've gone for "Big Spaces in Small Places," and I wouldn't have minded.

It's their secret weapon, they grease their skis with Chobani to help them go faster.

@DoucheyCNNJourno The "greek yogurt" at this hotel sucks!

soon chobani will just be the official sponsor of the olympics and we've to start calling them the chobani bowl and that's when we'll be certain that the end is nigh

Genuinely just emailed the cafeteria downstairs at work to ask them why they don't have Fage 2% and only have Fage 0% so kill me now.

"Yeah, I filled it up with Chobani instead of oil and it just died by the side of the road. I can't figure it out."
