What do yall think about this new spanky doc marten rip?
-
I used to wear DOC MATTENs to punk shows back in the day
-
The other day, I thought I bought a pair of Doc mattens but they ended up being a pair of Spankies. I'm pretty upset about that too
-
We talkin bout dick mittens?
-
I'm just waiting for a skate branded version of waders that fly fishermen wear.

Holy Mother of GOD make the shit threads STAAAAAHHHP

I wear them to work. Can confirm they are in fact good to wear in a warehouse situation.
Also, it’s ‘Spanly’

Fun fact: I almost died of full-blown Dysentery at age four or five. Terminal diarrhea nearly put me in the sky, never been the same ever since

I can understand your frustration with these threads, then

Also, dysentery? Were your parents missionaries in the Amazon or something?

No, I grew up in Egypt. Not joking. I went to Elementary School in Cairo. Here's a pic for proof. That's me in the middle of the back row in the hat.

No never met him but I think we were there about the same time. I'm pretty sure he's a year or two older than me so we would not have been in the same grade.

Some things sucked about it but it was cool too. I've been inoculated and immunized against all the developing-country diseases like Leprosy, Malaria, Rabies etc. I have been exposed to every kind of bacteria and germ known to man, I never get sick so that's cool. But every time I have sex with a new girl she gets vicious, brutal Urinary Tract Infections and I think it's my dirty infectious 3rd World schlong.

Don't really see a need for the doc Martin ripoff, cool I guess but totally unnecessary.

Close, except the bit where he turns it into a skate shoe.

Just get actual Doc Martens because those dont have the stitching so the sole will probably juat fall off
-
Alright let’s say you want a pair of these bad boys to go with the bleached hair and the fanny pack slung over your shoulder, still with me?
Ok, so if you buy these joints then you have your Docs and support Emerica which is inherently core. Boom your soundcloud band just went up two points before closing. That’s showbiz baby.
-
I might be wrong, but I put the folks i see around who wear docs like this, and the folks who think Emerica is "cool" and "core" in two very different categories. I think it's a huge fail.
Maybe it's just that Emerica isn't big in my country. I never see anyone wearing them.

Nope. Family left Cairo in 1990 to move to England. When I was there KFC was the only American food we could find, there was a knock-off McDonalds we used to go to but our favorite Egyptian resteraunt was a chicken spot called Andrea's. Very traditional North African cuisine. We would get crispy roasted chicken with the bomb seasoning you can't find anywhere, french fries, hummus, green salad with bell pepper, fried chicken livers in lemon juice for appetizers and the dopest bread fresh made minutes before in an Egyptian pita oven right outside in front. Ahhh memories, I still love fries dipped in hummus
-
Stuffed grape leaves with rice and ground beef were in heavy rotation at Andrea's too, it's their specialty

Was it a knock-off KFC that loosely translated to chestnut fried chicken? Or Uncle Kentaki Chicken?
-
I'm pretty sure it was legit KFC, it was called Kentucky Fried Chicken and it tasted the same as when I would go home to the States for the summers. We would score a big bucket of greasy bird and rent a small fishing boat called a Fallukha and gently float down the Nile river eating our KFC with a couple locals crewing the boat and grubbing on shared chicken. It was heaven for six-year-old me

What shoe did janoski “turn into” a skate shoe?
Only thing i could think of is a boat shoe? Obviously i’m not hip...or a kid.

The fly-fishing industry is insufferable. I cannot imagine what it would be like if it merged with skateboarding.

i don't know anyone who would be caught dead wearing this Payless garbage. one of many reasons Emerica is tanking.

Psssh whatever, I just copped three pairs at my local Grocery Outlet for 34.95. Plus I had enough left over on my EBT to buy a pallet of discounted Cup-O-Noodles and a 30-pack of O'Douls. GETTIN FUCKED UP TONIGHT

Fuck all they had left was Super Spicy Sezchuan Crawdad. Each comes with a flavor packet loaded with dehydrated, powdered, red-hot Louisiana Crawdad and Savory Seasonings. It's okay, I'm mostly happy they were on Clearance. Oh and the party starts at 7:00 but it's too bad because you're NOT ON THE LIST

There was also a dope Italian restaurant in Cairo called Lola's that the fam would hit up pretty frequently. I would always get the Shrimp Cocktail and gank off my mom's plate- she always got the Pasta Frutti Di Mare, it was a huge Conch-type seashell filled with spaghetti noodles loaded with all kinds of seafood like mussels and scallops in amazing marinara sauce. The Chefs were masters at Lola's, I wonder if it's still there

Logged in to say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Freight Train's Egyptian upbringing and experiences with North African cuisine.

Shalom to you to Brotha Man! I love Thin Lizzy so you're cool in my book already

As far as street food goes, the best in Cairo is always the Falafel. It's probably best to avoid the meat on the street if you are new to North African microbiotic life entering your system. It's pretty common to see open air butchers with whole cows hanging with flies all over them drying in the sun. But Falafel is pretty safe even if you are used to Western bacteria and not a walking Petrie Dish of Intestinal Flora like me.
The Cairo Falafel would be big crispy fried balls of chick pea paste wrapped in hot fresh flatbread and would come with Tahini (a paste made from sesame seeds), lemon Couscous (African grain similar to rice), Baba Ghanouj (hummus mixed with roasted eggplant), Arabic pickles, carrots stewed in a tomato sauce, and chili sauce. So fucking good no Falafel sandwich anywhere else comes close and very few other Vegan sandwiches I've had in my life are as filling or satisfying.

Unlike felafels in most of the rest of the Middle East which are made from chickpeas, Egyptian felafels are actually made from fava beans which explains why they are green on the inside and the most delicious felafels in the world.
Egyptian food is so good. A delicious mix of grilled meats, dips, salads, lentil soups, breads... I could go on. I
visited for a month in 2012 and it's my favourite place I've ever been overseas.
Cafeteria Stella (which I mentioned on the previous page) is a small drinking bar in downtown Cairo. They serve up bottles of beer only. Depending on how many beers you order, they give you complimentary snacks- nuts, beans or cheese and vegetables. I spent many enjoyable nights here talking to local older men about the politics of Egypt at the time (this was during the Arab Spring).
I cant wait to return one day and I hope you do too.

Fava beans? Mind = Blown. I did notice they were always a little greener inside in Egypt. I miss Kofta kebaabs too and Merghez the spicy Lebanese sausage. It was so sick though, we took field trips to the Pyramids every year at school and we learned tight stuff like basic Arabic and Ancient Egypt Culture. The international school system is so cool. Yeah I would love to go back, go to Road 9 and see if the toy store where I bought my first skateboard is still there.

I like where this thread has ended up.

Never heard about Falafel being from something other than chickpeas , but alot of dishes in the middle east are a bit different from place to place. The green color in Falafel available here is always parsley.

You're from Israel right? I remember when your avatar was a flashing white bunny. An Israeli guy told me once that french fries inside the falafel is pretty common there. This is yum, I can confirm

yeah its super common here, but mostly in "trashy" places. the best falafels here usually dont go overboard with the stuff they put inside the pita. my local spot only has tomatoes, cabbage and pickles in the pita, no hummus either. you can choose between pickled cabbage and regular cabbage but other than that its minimal and really good. but im down with french fries inside for sure.

Oh man I love the variety and usually simplicity of kebabs in the Middle East. I'm from Australia where 99% of kebabs are of the meat, lettuce, onion, tomato and garlic sauce variety. They're good but there's such a world of other ingredients or combinations that can be experimented with.

You're right. The Szechuan episode of Anthony Bourdain's show (RIP) has me intrigued with this mega spicy chili oil dipping boat they call the Hot Pot. Expanding your culinary horizons is worth the prospect of a tender, scorched browneye the next day.
