Almost all of them were struggling to survive before any of this started...but now it's reached a critical point where they're marked for death.

Does the Pope **** in the woods?

Either **** or get out of the kitchen.

Rome wasn't burned in a day.

We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

Which sucks because I need to go to the leather works store and check out their dress boots.

Also need two dress shirts to go with my dress pants I dug out of the closet.

I figure It's going to be hard to dress like a decent civilized person anymore.

I feel like a lot of people will rush to the malls when they open again just to be near other people. While hanging out at the mall all the time might not be something a majority of people do, I doubt most people want them to die off completely.

I'm confused. The whole post was littered with malaphors and even though the poster didn't explain what they were, if you knew the originals, you'd know what it was.

The most common would be the "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it" because that's how I learned what malaphors were.

It'll make for a really boring run of Dan Bell's Dying Mall series - a lot of those places have really interesting explanations as to why they're dead/dying. But "it shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic" sounds like it'll get monotonous fast.

I don't get how I'm embarrassing myself. I didn't know that he was joking at first, I explained why I didn't get it and then that other guy said "LMAO you can't read" or whatever and I repeated that it wasn't completely obvious that he was joking. What's the problem?

Because it is in fact completely obvious, and every argument you're making is driving home how you completely fucked it up.

You seem to be trying to argue that you thought it was a post full of malaphors that people actually say, saw one that you didn't recognize, and assumed that he must have just accidentally slipped in an incorrect metaphor that he didn't mean.

when i was little my parents would take us to visit my aunt in atlanta and there was this huge mall just down the road we would always go to once per visit that had a ton of cool stores on three stories.

i went there again in 2018 and it was the saddest thing i'd ever seen. other than the big clothes stores there was nothing but weird nicknack shops selling commemorative plates and new age jewelry, discount shoe stores, and little kiosks where people were selling phone covers and shitty watches and t shirts of dragonball z characters on them except black

Every mall that is still open is in danger, but that's been the case for years now. But that's life, maybe in your life you'll see the fall of Walmart just like your folks saw the fall of Sears and Montgomery Ward and Winns and so many others. I predict if Walmart ever falls it'll be because they've oversaturated the areas they're in.
