City Scenes From the City
Posted by Charles Mudede on Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Scene one:
I agree, humans and dogs are animals. But the asshole of one of these animals is covered, the other is not.
Scene two:
My heart was broken when The Continental Store European Delicatessen closed this summer. The place satisfied the needs that spring from my German side, a side mainly constructed from materials in texts composed by 19th century German philosophers. The place functioned as a kind cheap set of German peasant life—The Black Forests, the chunks of ham, the thick sausages, the heavy salads. "This pure being, this simply immediacy..."
The place is now I Love New York Deli. Am I the only one to find this a little bit curious? From German foods, to New York City foods? From rural to urban? From landjägers to bagels? An interesting transformation, indeed. The new deli's coleslaw is fantastic.
Scene three:
"We are the robots."

your asshole is in plain view...please... If you don't want to sit on seats that could possibly be dirty don't use public transportation. So freaking ridiculous...the dog isnt dirtying that seat at all.

you think NY delis serve "urban food" and a German deli serves "rural food"?
So, like a pate, would that be rural food? They eat it inside PAris city limits. PRetty sure they eat coleslaw inside Mucnih city limits, and I have even seen a deli with proschiutto inside NYC limits.
I'm not sure what urban food would be, though, since mainly it comes from rural areas.
but then again, there is no mind writing those posts, just a robot using a randomly generated set of abstract concepts. Like a big ol' book of German Philosophy:
1. Things
2. Words
3. Dachshunds
In the end, "everyone's a weiner"!

I'm quite sad that I can no longer get pretzels from the now-gone Continental deli. Consuming the pretzels (in regular, stick, and roll form) was a big part of my life. The place that makes them is in Tacoma and so now I'll rarely, if ever, have those glorious pretzels again.
14
Stinkbug, please help- I had those pretzels as a youngster in Tacoma and have been searching for them ever since. The next time I'm in Tacoma I'm buying 100 of them. Can you tell me where? "roll pretzel"+tacoma yields nothing!

@14: searching Google using Tacoma + pretzel I found:
http://www.pretzelmaker.com/
Ahhh, the wonders of the internet. Try it today!

Some people get so fucking up-tight about dogs. An asshole neighbor of mine yelled at my wife with a hammer in his hand and ranted about how it was a "health code violation" to let our dog urinate in the neighborhood (on commons areas between sidewalk and road) because it was unsanitary and would hurt the children.
The cops loved that one.

I absolutely totally 100% agree with observation #1.
Dog owners - what's wrong with having your dog sit on the floor?

Bagel comes from the southern early new high (ca. 1500) German word Beugel.
A kosher deli has sauerkraut and kaiser rolls: the German store "Continental" translated to Yiddish American flavor.
Except for the onslaught of heavy meats, it's an improvement. The old store was overpriced.

@15: Thanks, but the next time I want a ranch pretzel (the hell?) from Pretzel Time (Freshness with a twist!), I'll just head to any mall in America.
Anyway, if anyone knows what bakery in Tacoma stinkbug is talking about, drop me a line!

@ 19. Because the dog obviously prefers to sit next to his owner, there's no harm done with them sitting on the bench, and its not the dog owner's job to satisfy your neurotic hang-ups.
23
Umm, yeah, a dog's asshole is totally clean. I bet you kiss it on the lips and share food too. Tells me all I need to know about your hygiene.
25
Check out the new German fast food place underneath Cedars. Sure, it's not the old German deli, but it is great German junk food. And leave the dog alone.
26
@23 excuse me, more accurately it is more dangerous to kiss another Human than to kiss a dog. The bacteria in the mouth of a dogs are species specific, and un-harmful to its owner. Dog's and humans don't get one another sick. Its obvious that you're under-educated when it comes to pets, but that doesn't stop you from flinging unfounded insults around does it ass-hole.
27
You're worried about a dog's butt? Know what's scary - children. Little freaking germ factories spewing infection in all directions.
And if the dog is sitting there quietly on the seat, he's better behaved than than the typical human whelpling you see out and about.

@ 22 "its not the dog owner's job to satisfy your neurotic hang-ups."
ME ME ME and MY DOG!
We could probably debate whether non-service dogs should even be allowed on buses.
@16 "...let our dog urinate in the neighborhood (on commons areas between sidewalk and road)..."
Commons area outside your house = neighbors' dog toilet.

@25: The cost of the pretzels from the German place under Cedar's is way high. They may be okay for the occasional pretzel, but not for frequent pretzel consumption.
@14: I believe the place they got the pretzels from was this place: http://hessbakery.com/bakery.html . In additional to their Tacoma location they apparently supply pretzels to Hans in Burien, Alpenland on Mercer Island and Liebchen Deli in Bellevue.

To the author of this post, did you not get a weird camp guard vibe from those german ladies, reinforced by the fact that they kept their schnauzer in chair restraint behind the deli counter? This made my Arendt side simmer a little bit.
Mont's market has those pretzel rolls, and the Columbia City Bakery pretzels are pretty top shelf.

Awww...to first photo...true about the bungholes....BUT when you factor in how often dogs lick their own bungholes AND you factor in that Dog Saliva is one of the most sterile substances (beats neosporin...seriously...look it up)you gotta figure the dog bunghole is coated in sterilized dog saliva...thus it's okay
32
Why are so many dog owners hypocritical? I'm sure they'd be enraged if I came and shat on their lawn - even if I bagged it. Or if I peed on their steps. Yet if a dog does it, it's OK? Given that we're both animals I should be able to sit naked next to you. And if you have a problem with that, well hell, don't talk to me about it - deal with your own damn neurosis...
yeah, I know there's laws. There's also common sense. It's nice to see dog owners so in love. It's the ensuing double standard that irks.

@30: I'm not convinced that the ones at Mont's market are the same, but I'll have to check them out I guess.
