Thai KFC is way better than US KFC, though. Thais are some damn fried chicken connoisseurs, I’ll tell ya.

This is why we keep checking Kinja.

Still does have one of the greatest careers ever.

You do realize that tipping and paying a server a livable wage before tipping can coexist, right?

Like what? When in a foreign country you are still subject to local laws, as you should be.

I greatly prefer international baseball over MLB even though the quality of play isn’t as good. This is 99% due to the fan experience being so much more fun - singing, loud cheering, players actually acting like they enjoy playing. MLB games are just boring in comparison.

No, my argument is showboating is irrelevant and childish managers should quit being so stuffy about it.

Ramirez’s display was over the top? Never. He held his bat for two or three seconds before flipping it. It’s so minor.

Why does this man enjoying the homer he just hit annoy you so?

Guess the team should have played better if they game mattered so much to them. The bat flip had no effect on the outcome other than making the Twins look like petulant children for bitching about it.

If you don’t want someone to flip their bat when they hit a rocket off your pitch, don’t throw a fat pitch he can hit hit like a rocket.

That’s one thing I like about Japanese houses/apartments. There’s a spot inside the door where you are to take off your shoes and put them in the rack (or line them up facing the door). It”s typically a bit lower than the rest of the floor, and it’s obvious you’re supposed to take off your shoes to go past there.

It’s not hygienic! Even with a doormat you’re tracking in all kinds of crap.

Oh, definitely some sort of foot covering is best. I usually wear socks in the house. I also only have a rug, rest of my house is flooring.

Forget tatami, walking inside at all with shoes on is disgusting. I don’t want all that crap outside tracked all over my nice floors.

Sure. I think of it as Lebanese myself, maybe because that’s the first sort of restaurant where I had it. I can’t think of a time I’ve been in a Greek restaurant without seeing hummus on the menu, though.

Try the math again on that, Dylan.

Why wouldn’t it? Very common Greek dish.

Advocating the murder of innocents, brought to you by “laughter is good for the soul”. Lovely.

Great story.
