This is so 1990's. My friends have been doing this, or did this for the first round of marriages, 20 years ago. It only works if the wedding couple in question have mixed gender friends who already know each other and our expanded group of post-college drinking buddies was pretty mixed across the male/female and LGBT…

I know I am a day late on this post, but judging from the comments section and all the grocery bagging experts it occurs to me that none of you has the hand scanner technology our local supermarket has. You scan each item as you put it in your bag as you shop then scoot through check out like shit through a goose.…

Judging by all the proud self-baggers in these comments, it hasn’t reached much of anywhere yet. Trust me. It’s awesome.

I used to work with people who rotated on and off Antarctica and if even half their stories are true the place was an Animal House for science geeks. They even had weird hazing rituals that involved being stripped and having your clothes hidden outside and you had to find them naked before they let you in.

You would hate shopping with me and my wife. At our local supermarket we have a hand scanner we scan and bag as we shop and arrange as we go. That way we cruise through the checkout without ever talking to the staff about the weather or worrying about conveyor belt games.

I never thought that joke was particularly funny. Peanuts already had a character named “5*” so it always seemed like a stolen joke.

I would think out of all the tattoo parlors in America there are more than a few run by white supremacist sympathizers, and/or tattoo artists mercenary enough*, to get some high quality swastikas done. And the internet being what it is, I doubt it’s that hard to find them.

Granted. I was only s’posing back one step. Two if you count the plaid cargo shorts.

And he is showing the relaxed smugness of someone who knows someone else will clean it up.

It’s heritage not hate!

I was thinking that looked like prison ink and wondered the same thing. If it were me, I guess I’d get it covered to, or wear higher collared shirts.

Delicious yes, but in poor taste.

And I always thought a cocktail, by definition, has to have 3 or more ingredients. I was told that once when I was a waiter and it always stuck with me. I have no idea if it is true or just something our restaurant did.

ABSOLUTELY!

I have no idea about this specific guy, but threatening your employees to vote the right way certainly wouldn’t be illegal. But if you’re a poor, low level employee you learn to suck it up and not to make waves.

You can get escorted off the premises without your vote counting.

Wasn’t there an employer in 2012 who threatened to fire employees if Obama won. Why, yes there was. It’s a short walk from that to, “I’ll fire you unless you can prove to me you voted the right way.”

There is also a history in the US of people recording who votes with some fairly tragic consequences. I’m not against selfies per se, but lets not ignore that until the 1960's and even later in some places, some people were killed, fired, or thrown of their land if they tried to vote. Will this happen again? Probably…

I always love it when a Gawker site looks down their noses at other media’s mode of selling out. This from a company that works diligently everyday to make it’s advertisements brand stories look as much like original content as possible to “break down barriers” between content, advertisers and consumers.

Remember, I’m just hypotholating .
