I would much prefer the parents of 3-13 year olds to march onto a plane wearing a sandwich board that reads “I’m aware of my responsibility to make sure my child does not kick your seat, throw food, or otherwise disturb you. Please let me know if I’m failing” 

I’m truly happy for him. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go argue for a 3% raise in a performance review that my boss forgot to conduct last year.

I was a DI distance runner and I was a lot more religious when I was running seriously then I am now that I’m like some corporate cog in the machine.

I don’t want to signpost the key part of my comment, but it wasn’t their using the word “electrification.”

Apologies.

This is an excellent two-parter. One of the few examples of the sequel being as good as the original.

I’m glad pistachios are a topic this week. My insane wife and I just had a much-bigger-than-necessary fight because she left a bowl of pistachios, have of them just the shells after having eaten them, and half still to be shelled and eaten, sitting around so I threw the whole bowl out assuming they were all just…

Made the decision over the winter to stop watching the NFL...

The RedZone killed football for me, and I’m better for it. I’m not watching three hours of “RED 18! RED 18!” and “HOLDING PENALTY! WE’RE PUTTING THE BALL HERE! AND REPLAY THE DOWN!” Just show me the highlights. Watching football is like listening to an eight year old tell you a story.

How Gronk wasn’t also on that list of clients is beyond me. I’m surprised he didn’t LIVE at the Orchids of Asia parlor.

It’s criminal that we don’t do this.

Pompous sounding asshole incoming ...

Jesus, I never want to eat the dried out mess you cook.

...a sticky?

I would be far more concerned with the dishes not being served at the same time. That is a pet peeve of mine, and should have been the main topic.

The issue is that the story in the movie is 95% untrue. These two men were never friends; the driver was fired after 2 months. Mr. Shirley was not estranged from his family, didn’t have issues with his Blackness (the idea that he needed to learn to accept himself is absurd), didn’t need to be taught about Black…

Oh my god yes. I always used to think that compatibility was this really narrow thing, but in reality, I think it has a lot less to do with compatible interests/personalities and a lot more to do with just having an open mind and similar approach to things. And after my breakup, I was just so excited that there was…

“Why does it feel less appropriate to eat a sandwich outside the window of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.?”

I miss the old Food Network. Cooking competitions are fine, but I miss the how to aspect (How to Boil Water/Non Gameshow Alton Brown anyone?) Ditto DIY Network how to shows.
