“Because you never know these days.” Like you don’t know where your own damn baby came from??? Good grief, that’s insulting.

Yeah, experiencing this circus once was enough. I’m a year younger than Ron Goldman, and before the murders, I lived in Brentwood down the street from Nicole Brown Simpson’s condo on Bundy Drive. I’d walked past her place many times. I’d eaten at the same Mcdonald’s restaurant where Kato and OJ ate the night of the…

I’ve had my recycling bin stolen twice. Not the recyclables in it, the actual bin. Why? The City of Philadelphia gives them out free. It’s like people see stuff lying around, they have to take it, no matter what it is. Which maybe explains the Eagles’ transaction history.

WIT’ onions, if you please.

I was sitting in Section 101 right behind the wall where this happened. The crowd gasped after the hit, but her fellow cheerleaders picked her up afterward, and she wasn’t carted off the field with a neck brace in an ambulance, so I think she escaped serious injury. Maryland’s defense had a worse day. But my personal…

Preach. I love that this BCO post about bad restaurant bosses became a thread about (not) letting people borrow your pickup truck. I’m amazed how universal this issue is, although maybe I shouldn’t be. It could be its own topic on Jalopnik. About 20 years ago, a coworker friend asked to borrow my Toyota 4x4 for a day,…

I can’t help but think that the Denali naming is another example of Obama trolling the hell out of John Boehner.

The Planned Parenthood shown in the photo is in Philadelphia literally one block from my house. Ironically or not, it’s in the heart of Philly’s gayborhood, right across the street from a gay-friendly bar/restaurant, and catty corner from a clinic which offers free STI/HIV screenings and other health services catering…

I feel your pain. I too spent a winter in Michigan, but I’d almost rather do that again than have an in-law stop by uninvited.

A friend of mine who never cooks uses his oven drawer for storage. The ONE TIME he and some friends decided to bake pot-based cookies, they almost set the house on fire because when they preheated the oven, he forgot that the drawer contained plastic cutting boards, which promptly melted and filled up the house with…

We flew from Charles de Gaulle to Heathrow, and thence to the US. He was stopped at the gate in Paris. As TyrannosaurusBataar noted, maybe placing items in checked bags helps in some situations. But the shop was already well past the ticketing and check-in desk and I didn’t considered the non-pasteurized cheese angle,…

I flew from Paris to New York a few years ago (I mistyped “a few tears ago”, but it’s the same thing, really), and the gate agents for my flight confiscated another passenger’s big-ass wheel of cheese at the gate WHICH HE HAD BOUGHT IN THE AIRPORT. Maybe because it looked like a big brick of plastic explosive? I don’t…

Australia is the last major Anglophone nation without marriage equality despite polling showing overwhelming public support. Hockey’s Liberal Party, having no logical arguments against equality on which to stand, are enforcing party loyalty over common sense and delaying the inevitable by refusing to let the members…

This barely scratches the surface. I’ve witnessed parking on sidewalks, parking on medians, parking in fire lanes, parking in bus stops, gunning through red lights, turning left from right lanes and right from left lanes, turning right on red when it’s not allowed, NOT turning on a green arrow when it is allowed, not…

I get your point and agree with it. However, I think everyone has their own limit of bullshit they are willing to tolerate, and with the NFL shoveling it faster and furiouser, maybe sorbo1980 has finally reached that limit. It’s not necessarily a hypocritical position to be in (and I’m not saying you judged it that…

Please forgive my mistake. I was ready to be mad, but I forgot why. Can I still have all the pancakes? Seriously, though, I thought that the cholesterol link to plaque deposits in the brain was with high LDL/low HDL, not low LDL. Incorrect?

Thank you for the clarification, Doctor. I’ll remember this on Saturday when I’m chowing down on this deliciousness with extra butter and maple syrup. Lucky for me, my blood cholesterol is already low.

If you order pancakes at the Dutch Eating Place in Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, PA, you will get your wish. They scoop a SLAB of Lancaster County butter on those things. Bring your statins if you want to live. Though if you get them with blueberries, the antioxidants probably offset the cholesterol, right?

This one blew me away, because apparently Southern Belle thought the color was an inherent property of the water like the color of her jumpsuit and she could just carry it home with her in small quantities, and not, you know, a property of the light being transmitted through it like Isaac Newton showed us. I miss Lake…

Speak all you want about surprise BJs, but please do not spread rumors about the Pliny (allegedly) on tap, because I covet it. Thank you.
