re #1, when I was making restaurant reservations in Vegas we had to tell people when making a res for a party of 8 or more that an automatic 18% gratuity would be added to the bill... and I cannot count how many times that announcement was followed by a uncomfortably lengthy pause and then a "make it a reservation for…

Viggo, dude, you dodged a you know what there, didn't you? Good job.

I actually had this convo yesterday, when someone said "well I've never seen it (an instance of women getting casually harrassed)

lol, I read the headline and thought, "wow, Mayweather beat up a casino? Why, did the pirate show run too long?"

that's what she said amirite

omg Pleasant Hill, yes :-D Stuck in the middle of Contra Costa county and wedged between Concord ("we lost the Bank of America tech headquarters to South Carolina!" and Walnut Creek ("we want to be Marin County SOOOOO bad!") poor Pleasant Hill never gets a chance to point to either side of itself and go "I am NOT with…

LOL it was exactly like that. I got more out of my two minor interactions with him on Answer Man than I did in a whole semester of film studies at school.

Double You Fucking Kay Ar Pee! In Cincinnnati!

great, now I have the NUH NUH NUH NUUUUH song from MST3K's version of Starfighters stuck in my head. Refueling! The true star of the movie.

in any other place of business that would be an immediate termination. Any one of these infractions might merit suspension but taken in combination, it's a job nuke.

oh god and then the reruns would air on the cable channel BRAAVO.

I'm thinking it would start on L&O proper anyway, where they have the new show characters appear as "guests," like a soft opening. Like the way CSI Miami "premiered" as an ep of CSI where Willows goes down to Miami and watches someone (and by someone else I mean Horatio Caine, duh) else solve a case with only a…

hell, I'd like to see her interrogated by Lenny Briscoe.

I'm an ansuz because fuck Greek letters, that's why.

Patton, you magnificent bitch, I didn't read your book!

when my mom died six years ago my sister did a bang up job of taking everything mom had that might be worth something, deciding that I could help myself to whatever was left over, aka "junk". What she didn't know is that most of what was left over were the very things I had given/made to mom for birthdays, mother's…

no one ever caught on that I refused to say the words "under God". If it was good enough for my parents without that phrase (both of whom graduated before 1953) then it's good enough for me.

you can get TONS of these for almost nothing at Goodwill and Value Village, especially right after Halloween. It's playtime dress-up palooza!

so they'd issue a retraction of the timeline fail, followed by "but if she HAD attended, she likely would have done X"

campus police are interested in one thing only: protecting the campus. That's how my ex boss got away with pulling a knife on his coworker and she was the one who lost her job after campus police a) failed to file a report that the real police could use to charge him with b) conveniently "lost" or "we never got that"…
