When she said the rabbits like the shock they get from chewing through a cord(yes, probably in jest), all I could think of was a long haired cat that I owned that would generate a shit ton of static electricity in the winter, and would repeatedly lick the metal futon frame to get a shock. She did it so many times one…

Our defacto "municipal christmas tree" is a pole on top of the dump that has lights strung down from it at an angle so it looks like it has dimension. Someone wrote a letter to the editor complaining about it being awful and petitioning for its removal. The backlash against getting rid of it was fantastic. You can see…

It took me a minute to locate the girl in the hat. It's like a fabulous, screwed up Where's Waldo?

We got super lucky right out of the gate, didn't we? :)

My best friend's mother(who I am close to and call "Mom") had an oops baby when we were 17 and she grew up thinking she was my sister as well. She's now 17 and we still joke about it and call each other sister, but recently she was in the ICU with that horrible enterovirus and her doctor glanced at me and asked if I…

I've known my best friend almost 30 years; we met on the bus to kindergarten. She is without a doubt my sister, and her entire family, extended included, introduces me as one of them(as daughter, cousin, sister, niece, etc). I will never stop being thankful of the kind of luck I randomly stepped into that day on the…

No kidding. I have friends who are fire hoopers who I always thought were sort of crazy until I tried it. Now I am hooked, and probably certifiably crazy, but it is super hard work strengthening your muscles and coordinating them in strange ways to pull off tricks.

We called it Pittsburg Rare. I once watched a pregnant bartender deliver one to a table and go straight on to the bathroom to throw up.

I had a slightly past middle age man come in on a date and decide to try something new, "be adventurous". He ordered sushi, which he had never had, which had a 1/4 scoop of wasabi on the side, which he had also never had, that he promptly popped directly into his mouth and started chewing. I just remember looking at…

No kidding. They don't actually do abortions at our local PP, but the protestors are there anyways. I was broke and used to go there for my annual checkup and pap smear and had to brave the group of old white dudes that hung around the facilities with their disgusting posters. I was young and pissed off and had no…

It's entirely common. When I worked at a corporate joint, the percentages were automatically deducted based on my total sales for the night, which meant that I couldn't undertip someone who did nothing for me, or tip less to compensate if I had a bad night. It's meant to ensure that everyone gets their fair share, but…

Yep, you have to tip the people who helped you with your table: hostesses who sat the table, bartenders who made the drinks, food runners who brought the food to the table and busers that cleaned it all up. They each get a percentage of every table you wait on, whether or not you receive a tip.

That's poor people food. I used to go to Denny's and order hot water and add ketchup to make "soup". Once they had a show, they probably had more than enough money to not eat like that, but don't be thinking that there aren't many of us that do it to get some sort of cheap nutrition, little as it may be.(I want to…

Not only all of this, but it is also generally a bunch of people making a shit wage living paycheck to paycheck that are hauled out to work these days, while the assholes at the top that are reaping the profits are no doubt at home with their families. You give the man an inch, he'll take a mile.

Pre-existing conditions no longer being a roadblock to care was a godsend. It sounds juvenile, but it's so goddamn unfair to be denied coverage because of something I have no control over. I don't understand why people feel like it's totally justified to punish me for something I would get rid of in a heartbeat if I…

I think that the way the SAFE act went through was 100% wrong. It sets a very bad precedent for anything controversial coming up for a vote. That said the aggressive ignorance and gun stockpiling is no better. It's a seriously uncomfortable place to be in.

I probably should have done the same. I walked the mile and a half to the polling spot(it was such a nice night for a walk) and was thoroughly creeped out by the number of FUBO, repeal the safe act and honor the second amendment signs, not to mention that I was passed twice by my favorite conversion van with "hurry…

I voted for him out of fear that the rednecks around me that LOATHE him for messing with their rights to fully stock their home arsenals would somehow get one of their own elected(completely irrational, I know). That said, he is an absolute shit about the environment and I'd vote against him in a hot second if we…

I live in a small village and there was one candidate for almost all the categories, the choice was between the conservative flavored version of him or the republican one.

I once had a woman who got sick at the table-not sure if it was something she ate or if she was just sick- and she proceeded to sit there and puke into a napkin, which really did nothing, so lets say on to the floor, for the better part of 10 minutes rather than go to the bathroom which was about 15 feet away. Then…
