Thanks guys. You're all a bunch of cockroaches in the bodega.

The weirdest thing about "bodegas" is that they decided to call them bodegas.
That's spanish for warehouse. That's not a store.

The History of NYC Bodegas
The name bodega originates from the Spanish word, which can mean "storeroom," "wine cellar," or "grocery store," because these shops first started popping up in the 1940s and '50s in Hispanic communities. The majority of bodegas were opened by Puerto Ricans, and sometimes by other Caribbean and Latin American immigrants, who came to New York in large numbers after World War II and wanted more of a local store that they could run to on a daily basis. New Yorkers as a whole took to the idea, and bodegas multiplied. Nowadays, bodega owners are not exclusively Latin American, but the name has stuck.
So What Is a Bodega?
A bodega is a small convenience store that sells staples like chips, candy, coffee, sodas, lottery tickets, over-the-counter remedies, and household items like laundry detergent and trash bags. Some have a deli counter, some sell beer, and some have neither, but what defines a bodega goes beyond any one product.
Bodegas are often open 24/7, ensuring that you'll always have access to ramen and detergent in even the most dire situations (e.g., if you're doing laundry while hungry in the middle of the night). They're also ubiquitous, with more than 10,000 bodegas spread across New York's five boroughs. This combination means that if you need to pick up something after a night out, you can do so at 4 a.m. at your closest bodega or your farthest, depending on how tipsy and confused you are.
As all NYC locals know, many bodegas also have cats. Although some shoppers don't appreciate the presence of these feline guests, bodega cats actually serve a larger good: exterminating rodents, whose presence (trust us) is less favorable than even the stinkiest Garfield.

So that means La Bodega restaurant in CS translates to "The Warehouse". I should not be thinking about taco warehouses with two hours to go before dinner.Brian Earl Spilner said:

And most of the jokes are personal, not silly. The comedy shows mostly make fun of Republicans. They treat Democrats with kid gloves. It's pathetic. Their jokes are so forced and predictable. It's more like a cheap sales pitch than actual comedy.PatAg said:
I've said it before, but my issue with most of the comedy shows currently is they are being lazy. I'm not a fan of Trump, and some of the jokes are definitely funny. But if you only make your jokes and segments about one topic its boring and stale.
That's definitely more of a recent development, because a lot of shows would rip all politicians a new one in the past. (deservedly)Gigem314 said:And most of the jokes are personal, not silly.
