a very wise, 40-years married friend of mine once said that all successful marriages are built around two people who know never to say, in order: “Calm down...” “You never...” “You always...” and of course, “You’re acting just like your [parent of same gender]”

I worked for a big contemporary cruise line that once starred in a TV show (it was PRINCESS— sorry I had to do that to fit in,) in college. We had an escalated complaint about a woman who’s discount was applied in the wrong order or something— anyway the net effect to her booking was .47 cents. The supervisor that got…

I didn’t know this was a thing, but (at least on the Best Coast,) there’s a chain called Papa Murphy’s that sells frozen pizzas that they customize and let you take home to bake. I was thinking this person must’ve had Papa John and Papa Murphy confused with one another. There’s also a legit Seattle-only chain called…

I sure hope so- but I better save my pennies, because the prices are going up really quickly, too.

As a Seattleite, I could not love you more right now if I tried.

One of the factors that made me choose my Volvo was its PZEV tailpipe emissions despite having a gas-burning turbocharged 5 cylinder. My next car will probably be a plug-in hybrid. I’m not against fossil fuel usage, there’s plenty of situations in which it’s appropriate and necessary and is a better alternative. But…

I drive a Volvo now, and I was so impressed with VW’s product and price I was about 80% sure my next car would be a VW TDI. It will not be anymore. I’m only one guy, but I know I’m not the only one who feels that way. I work in sales and marketing so I usually try to be decent and understanding and forgiving when…

I was in Portugal last month and I went to a tasting at a winery (http://en.quintadosvales.eu/) that doesn’t export to the States. I broke all the wine snob rules and bought a rosé into which the vintner had pumped 2.2 bars of CO2. It was sweet and delicious and effervescent and we had the most amazing time drinking…

it’s the bubbles man. and the fact that saying ‘creme de cassis’ makes me feel fancy as fuck.

someone grab his tongue, he’s having a stroke.

Pouring liqueur into wine is a whole page of cocktails in a lot of bars, I fail to see why this one is even open for ridicule. Am I the only one who likes to get naked wasted on kirs royales?

I’m taking a big chance here, but one of the departments I manage is complaints— and we got a letter the other day that literally had “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, company*?” written up top like a headline. That wasn’t you was it? Taken any cruises recently?

Oh fuck me man. I’m officially old enough that “back in the day” is my day? There’s a big brown glass bottle of cola syrup in my refrigerator right now as I type this. It’s the only thing that settles my stomach, and I’ve given it to my dog before, too. All Huskies have sensitive stomachs and a sweet tooth. Works like…

Honestly, that’s what I was thinking. If someone spoke to me like that at work, they better have their resume polished and ret-ta-go.

A verbal altercation is one thing, but sending nasty emails afterward and muttering under your breath like a child? Nope.

holy goddamn. that’s a good butt. that’s a better butt than my husband’s butt. and he’s 26. and half black.

STOPIT NO ITS NOT.

no, no. This is the description for Kingdom of Heaven.
