I just had this conversation with my 74 year old father, who kicked the whole convo off by saying he liked Jennifer Lawrence and hoped that she didn’t start doing slutty movies-cause that’s what women always do. I pointed out that women’s roles end up being far and few between pretty quickly and that they make far…

“The absence of snowflakes on the cups “denies the hope of Jesus,” one woman claims.”

Around 2008, I worked at bonefish grill in western new york and Teddy Geiger(remember him?) would come in with his family occasionally. It was the biggest pain in the ass because we were told that if we weren’t his server, we couldn’t make eye contact with anyone at the table, or pass by the table, which was a problem…

I am having a miserable morning and that video just made my month. Mark, you are a treasure.

I love it, the only problem I have with it is that it melts in the summer because I live in an area that is incredibly hot and humid. I shove it in the fridge for the summer months or leave it at my mother’s air conditioned house and bring it out in the fall when the days get shorter.

I do this too with one of those little rock salt lights with a low watt bulb in it. It’s a nice warm glow that is set to go off half an hour before my alarm goes off so that I’m already waking up. It’s also a nice light to have on when waking up as compared to the harsh overhead.

The woman on his right looks like a weird mix of Holly Madison and Lori Petty.

Ugh. YES. I live along a rural thoroughfare route that has villages strung along the length of it. The amount of 55-45-30-50-40-55mph bullshittery that goes on along the length of it is maddening. We share a lot of resources, like schools and plows between the villages/towns, but for some reason or other, it is a…

Totally the side of caution bit. There are maybe three people in this world I’d get in that kind of trouble for. The police where I live used to run sting operations that were just this side of entrapment. I was never comfortable as a bartender knowing that kind of shit was going on and feel a lot better not being in…

I dunno. The writer made it a point to mention right at the end that they had each had seven drinks, which is what made me think of it. I wouldn’t have risked it, but I also try and avoid interactions with the cops or authorities at all costs.

Not the point I was making. If they haven’t totally sobered up and he calls the cops and they blow a DUI, he is on the hook. I wouldn’t take that risk.

Again, not the point I was making.

Again, not the point I was making. From the way he laid the story out, it sounded as though he observed them getting into the car after having imbibed alcohol in his section, and then called the police complaining they were all over the road. There are details we don’t know to this story, like how strong the drinks…

“My jaw dropped and my blood boiled. I followed them outside and was about to demand an explanation...and that’s when I saw them getting into their car and getting ready to drive home. After 7 margaritas apiece.

I’m betting 7 margaritas is more than enough. Granted the guy in the story didn’t specify if they were there all day or the size of the drinks, but I’d be thinking twice before I let those two out of the joint and into a car.

Actually it wasn’t. The laws pertaining to serving intoxicated people are called SIP laws and the server and the establishment can be on the hook if someone leaves their place loaded and gets behind the wheel.

Not clearance, you can’t serve intoxicated people and send them off down the road and claim no responsibility. I’m off the clock now so I had time to look it up. SIP laws make it a crime to serve inebriated customers. The server can be held responsible and the establishment can be fined and lose their license.

I’m honestly surprised he willingly served them that amount and then let them on the road at all. In NYS, I was always made to understand that as the bartender/server that served them, the cops would be coming for my ass when they were done with the drivers.

I worked in a restaurant where I was continuously hit on by creepers and I wore one. When that wasn't enough, I'd tell them the lethal looking bartender was my betrothed and then give him the heads up to spend some time glaring at them.
