I work for a cruise line and earlier this year our ships were undergoing refit in Genoa. I have pics of my boss and our designer walking through the gutted interiors of Costa Concordia. That is seriously creepy.

it used to be so, so good though. Those of us who graduated high school in LA in the late 90s and early 00s were broadcast’s chosen ones.

We still have our windows open too, here in Seattle. But we’re gay men so it’s not because of a baby. We just have 70 lbs of furry snow dog sleeping in between us, so the windows open = survival. My friends think I’m nuts.

i can confirm this one and i’m a dude. hormonal changes are always accompanied by temperature changes. it’s menopause’s little training wheels she sends you early so you’ll be prepared. :)

my house was built in 1900. I can’t decide whether $11.99 is worth never sleeping again.

I’ll be your best friend now, since it looks like you’re in the market for a new one. That’s tough. I wouldn’t ever be able to look at the person the same way again.

... cool story bro.

I’ve been searching for a way to make this sound less hipster than it is, but here goes: the people of the pacific northwest have been calling it Vantucky longer than Portlandia has been around. *flips bangs*

Honestly, I don’t know either. I share your mystification that people can’t figure out their own travel, but I also know it’s true that most don’t. I could save my P&L a shit-ton of money in commission payments if more people were like you.

I’m a travel industry exec on the sales & marketing side, so your skepticism is misplaced. Just because you’re booking it online doesn’t mean you’re not using an agency. Expedia, American Express, Travelocity... they’re all travel agencies. When you buy a cruise/air package from American Airlines, their captive travel…

about 60% of the North American travel market is still handled by travel agencies.

I wanna be the Miley to his wrecking ball, lortplease.

Oh please he wishes. That is no semi-. Something about all these eggplant pics recently tells me that straight men have discovered the cock ring. It’s like false barely-true advertising.

i laughed so hard i scared my dog and he farted.

i... but... there’s a fucking button!

so you’re the one that raised all my coworkers. thanks, and fuck you.

I have to say, I’m pretty much at my most patient with a head cold. I’m willing to do just about anything to make it stop.

Even in the low six figures, it’s housing that kills you. Here in Seattle a 600 sqft 1-b across from Amazon goes for $2890. Like, fuck you for that amount of rent on $100,000 a year, and when did that become not enough money to survive? Am I just becoming an old?

That’s an ugly fuckin’ house.

you spelled naïve wrong.
