Can? Yep. Should? Also yep. Will they? I have no faith in our justice system.

"With Sarah Palin" beat out the original secondary title, "'With Sarah Palin,' Huh. Absolutely Fucking Amazing. Completely Unreal. Jesus. Way To Go, America. 'With Sarah Palin.' You're Not Even Fucking Joking. Wow. Amazing."

Apparently you missed my whole "They may be willing to offer some accommodation—and many times at a level that would save you more than the amount [you] wouldn't have tipped" statement (my shitty grammar corrected in brackets).

In an ideal world, the manager would just come out and say "yup, totally having sex with her." And then you'd both just silently nod.

You think being "disinterested" qualifies for a zero tip? So they do the actual elements of their job description, but because they're not Mickey Mousing enough for you, you think you can say "fuck you" to the actual labor put in?

There is that chance, sure. And if a server gives such terrible service that it would warrant a zero dollar tip, then there's a decent chance that they're probably in the wrong line of work. Not a poor tip, a zero dollar tip. If we're talking the service was so bad that it warrants exactly zero dollars and zero cents,…

You have a very interesting definition of "passive aggressive" if you think that getting management involved is somehow "passive."

"Three minutes of my time to fix a problem? NOT WORTH IT. MY FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES AGREE."

If you got shitty service, don't just bail on the tip. That's a cowardly and unproductive thing to do. When the bad server in question comes with the bill, ask to speak with the manager on duty. Explain to the manager what transpired. They may be willing to offer some accommodation—and many times at a level that would…

Our oldest, at a whopping 14 months old, isn't particularly discriminating in her tastes. I mean that in the best possible way: if we offer it to her, and it's meal time, she's eating it. Usually, it takes one mouthful and she's on board. Butternut squash and pumpkin appear to be the exceptions, for reasons that defy…

It aged about as well as any Bordeaux vintage. As a companion piece to the other, superior dystopic 1980s consumerist-corporatism-run-amok films (Robocop, et al.), it's competent at worst.

As bro-twee as the behinged, belegged, behandled, and belidded system is, I have to say they really buried the lede with that super budget lath and half-barrel design at the 3:25 mark. That seems like a very feasible activity when one is car-camping or otherwise in the out-of-doors with canned adult beverages. After…

Simple fix, people: crab walk everywhere.

I'm holding out hope that Inflatable Beach Boob is simply British colloquialism for a local foodstuff. Maybe that's what they call a book of matches slathered in caramel, or lightly seasoned gravel in a reduction of port wine and color-safe bleach. "Oi, Gavin, game for a pudding?" "Grumbles ya macka, Boz, some…

It's been some time since my Schoolie year (yep, I was one of... them), but Clarkson never really leaves you—and neither will my unpaid parking ticket.

The conversation at Clarkson today:

"Did you hear about the soccer coach?"
"No. Does it affect beer or our hockey team?"
"No."
"Okay. SLU sucks."

Well, for some reason Kinja ate my initial post, but my problem isn't just with their as-of-now-poorly-operating site. Internet happens. My issue is not even with the two lookup per day limit. Instead, it's that this new kid on the block asks a *lot* from users in terms of their Twitter authorization request for an…

Terrible. Plugged in an account I follow as a benchmark-y test (a fairly popular if sometimes intentionally confrontational one, to be sure), and it says they're not on Twitter. Huh? I try a more popular account, same problem. Then, when I try to verify that I didn't just muck up the typing, I have to sign up now?…

Hi, fellow dad! Thank you for entering the world of Parental Concern! While others will surely have fun with your views of sex and its place in literature—and really, who hasn't started simultaneously masturbating their genitalia and anus whenever they read a passage that could even remotely address the topic of human…

The suggestion that Z-Bo caught punishment another guy wouldn't is pretty asinine, if just because the stars you've alluded to DON'T elbow AND punch people that are nowhere near the play. Tthe league's A-level stars have logged hundreds upon hundreds of minutes on the court, and I'll be damned: not once did one of…
