Please explain to the good people of the Gawker comments how your behavior here is even remotely civilized. What are you, an antisocial twelve-year-old? May I recommend some therapy or medication? Did you not get enough attention from your mommy when you were a child?

I know, I'm feeding a troll here (I actually…

Oh. Hello. I remember you from the other thread.

At first I laughed and thought, "Awesome!" but ... in reading the article and seeing that she was filming herself and that these were Vines, I question her authenticity. How long did she rehearse these lines so that she could be a Vine Star? I've only recently become aware of the existence of "Vine Stars" and they…

I've had the Habit. It's pretty good. It's miles better than the national burger chains, but I don't find it to be particularly special. Given the choice I'd prefer In-N-Out, despite the fact that I still don't like their fries (I seem to recall the fries are pretty good at the Habit). The best burgers, and the ones…

I'm curious, do you talk to people that way in person, face to face?

Er, no. Fairly vile, actually. If you're from Chicago and grew up on it and love it, have at it and enjoy. But don't expect the rest of us to stomach it.

I'm sorry, but anyone on this comments thread who reads this article, responds with something like "What's the big deal? They're salesmen and were just doing their jobs," and truly believes in that response is an asshole. (Or is at least being an asshole in this instance; without further examples of your behaviour I…

Ha! I used to work as an usher at a movie theatre. At least 20% of the patrons were varying combinations of mindbogglingly stupid and horrifically rude. One appallingly rude person was loudly making some unreasonable complaint and demand (I don't even remember what) and when I politely declined she said, "I'll have…

At my old job I was a lunch regular at a Johnny Rocket's burger joint across the street. My usual order cost about $7.50, for which they'd get a typical 15% tip from most people. (I once saw someone count out coins to the penny, $1.12). I liked the servers there, and the two guys who usually served me at the counter…

It's completely possible to politely send something back in a restaurant if there's something wrong with your food (under- or overcooked meat is what'll do it for me). I'm friendly and non-accusatory about it (usually sheepish and apologetic), and it's never a problem. Tip is always 20% or more, if the server goes an…

I hate Yelp. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

You know what's worse than a restaurant bathroom? A multiplex movie theatre bathroom.

I don't suppose they fixed the iMessage design flaw in which someone thought it'd be a good idea to put white outgoing message text over bright green and blue blackgrounds, instead of non-painful black text. Sigh.

I've never had actual Skyline Chili (which might be a good thing), but after hearing a piece on Cincinnati-style chili and finding a recipe it actually sounded good and I got curious. The recipe looked okay — a ground beef chili spiced with cocoa, cinnamon, cloves, cumin and allspice. I made it with quality…

"Besides, neither of those is as tasty as Creole gumbo, which, factually, is the sole credible argument for not sinking that state into the Gulf of Mexico."

There's no such thing as "legally recognizing so-and-so as a hate group;" the designation does not exist in federal law. Designation of a group as a hate group is for the most part done by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is not a governmental organization.

Jay Leno is not funny.

Why don't you just wait until the movie comes out, watch it and find out then? Wouldn't it be nice to be, you know, surprised? Don't you have anything better to do in the meantime than obsess about this? I'm curious too, but for frak's sake.
