1.    30-Rack
Massachusetts term for a 30-pack of beer.
Did you run a packy and pick up a 30 rack for me? (see packy...)


^^^ not surprised to see that definition at all.


What the hell is a package store to mean?  Package of cigarettes?  Package of beer?

Do you have a cot in the back for the rack-killin\' days at Mountain Road?


No room for a cot, have to use every available square foot for inventory......

The name "package store" derived from the law in certain areas that all alcohol was to be packaged in such a way that the contents were not visible before leaving the store.

I\'m not sure if the law still exists (I\'ve walked out of plenty of \'package stores\' with just a bottle in hand), but the name stuck.

I dont think that law is still on the books......it may still be, but not enforced........as far as i am aware.....

Thanks for the lookup - I always wondered what the term meant.  It seems to be a New England/Northeast term as I\'ve never seen a store labeled as such out here.

Quote from: wildcoyote;238123
When during a handshake someone hangs on to my hand for too damn long. It\'s even worse than the limp shake imo.


Oh man, you\'re totally missin\' out on the goods in a situation like that!!  The secret is to always be prepared.  Whenever you\'re going in for a handshake you gotta ask yourself... is this person the kinda douche that\'s gonna wanna lock onto me.  Always be ready for YES.  That\'s when you lock in and kick the uncomfortable up a notch.   You\'re a big guy, you can crush hands.  But that would be too easy.  Trying to find their real pressure point... that\'s the goods.  Maybe it\'s telling him about the last time you ran into his alcoholic father at a bar, or his loose sister and what a big kiss she gave you.  When you don\'t know them that well, you can always go for an inappropriate joke bumped up against way too much obnoxious laughter.

You:  "What\'s brown and rhymes with Snoop?"
Clown:  "Ummm, errr.... poop....?"
You:  "No you ass clown, Dr. Dre!  HHAHAHAHAROARHARARATRATTETATA!!!!"

Facebook is definitely an annoying dumpster of self-indulgent nonsense.  Do you people ever feel stupid posting "I am tired tonight", "dinner was great, can\'t wait to watch Dancing with the Stars" etc?  

I\'m proud to say I\'ve never entered my status on that website and hope to continue the streak.

Ok so why in some states do they always bag your booze in a black plastic bag? Ie. NY, NJ, PA...
Where to next?
