My Life Goal

[the_wanlorn]

I'm worried about Louisiana. Specifically, the French Quarter. Ya see, when I grow up, I'm going to own a brothel bordello house of ill repute bagnio bawdyhouse whorehouse. And it is going to be in the French Quarter. And it shall be cool. Oh, except how I hate heat. And humidity. Which, I think, means that I hate N'Orleans. Shit. I hear Greenland needs more prostitutes... Ohhhh which reminds me that I need to run down to the packie and see if they actually have The Godfather. ... Is it weird that the packie in CowTown is also the movie rental place?

"packie"? Is that regional slang for "package store" (ie. convenience store)? (Rhetorical question... I googled the word before posting this comment.. :-) )

And it's not that odd. There are several places in Tennessee like that. What's odd is a U.S. Post Office inside a liquor store. (Yes, it exists... I used to pass it every day, twice a day, on my way to and from work.)

Well, I was going to ask the same question as Jeff but he sorta answered it but only sort because now I need to know what in the blue blazes a package store is.

On a totally unrelated note. Should that sentence up there have a period or a question mark? See, the sentence is a statement (I need to know...) but incorporated in that statement is a question (what is a package store). So, period or question mark?

Package store is what us Massholes call liquore stores. Not quite sure why.

Ah, that's one of those lovely questions that arises online. I mean, stuff like this sentence? Is totally horrible grammar. But there's no other way to convey the way my voice rises and pauses to make sure you get what I'm saying than by using a question mark.

In conclusion: It depends on whether or not, when you were saying it in your head, it sounded like a question. =D
