Burn, motherfucker, burn
Good.
I really want to set them all on fire.
It's clearly not all about the smell. I just very strongly dislike the superficiality of the entire enterprise: the need to purchase to show appreciation for a culture; the shallow knowledge it transmits; the way it reduces civilizations to an incorrect string of kanji. Makes me sick sick sick to my stomach.
I also need to shut the fuck up and go to bed. Have a great week, y'all!

ugh - i hate that smell too. while you can smell incense around *real* buddhist temples here in korea, you don't always, and when you do it's never that sickening as it always is in those shops.
heheh that's funny. in bulgarian we have this expression we use when someone is trying a bit too hard: to be more catholic than the pope. i think it's fitting in this particular case too. ;)
I feel absolutely the same way. These stores are so made up. I can't think of a reason why they are so popular around here.
Dude! One of the stores I was describing is currently running a BIG promotion: everyone who spends more than 25 leva, gets a free corsette!!! Because, you know, Budha's bringing sexy back! ;)
> Budha's bringing sexy back!
That's good to know :)
I don't know about these particular shops, but we have stinky, over-perfumed cosmetics shops here in the US like Bath & Body Works or Crabtree & Evelyn - as soon as I walk in the door to any of them, I sneeze.
Men sneeze and women can't get enough ;)
Saturday Night Live did a gag on those shops years back. The clerk would point out, say, a little box made of seashells. When the customer asked what it was for, the clerk said "You put your WEED in it!" Turned out that everything in that store (figurines, jewelry boxes, etc.) had the same purpose" "You put your WEED in it!"
My friends and I still use that line in those shops.
"Budha's bringing sexy back!" = v. funny
Hahahhaha! I think I will go in one of the stores tomorrow and tell them I am looking for something to put my weed in!
Btw, I am SO excited you liked my Justin reference. ;)
Yah, and you have to use a total stoner voice when you say it. (Kak e na Bulgarski "You put your WEED in it"?)
Julie, that's a good question. I would simply say 'За тревата': literally, 'For the grass'. Of course, you could be a little more descriptive.
But, then again, what do I know. Perhaps my readers could suggest alternative ways to translate that into Bulgarian. Anyone?
'кутийка за коз'
those shops and the lost sheep who draw solace from them illustrate the mangled, retarded attempts by western minds to deal with the spirit concept. If you dare to believe that souls do exist, and that they are capable of clothing themselves in various forms of flesh, then by logic you will know 2 things. Re-incarnation (the worn out whore of a word) is real, and it is terrifying ... no, actually it's f*!king horrifying. The process of realising this is painful but easy. Doing something about it doesn't involve incense and flowers, it's more like having 800 tonnes of dark and heavy thoughts dumped into your brain, intent on staying until the end of the party.... but who gives a damn anyway, i'm just in a bad mood and near a keyboard, a problematic combo
