But is it ok to shake hands with my Grandpa? Or should we just wave? What is the appropriate level of hugging I can share with my 2nd cousin?

No, I never have, but thank you for the rec!

I can't believe there isn't a picture of Andy Samberg, looking fly in his retro tux.

Bee, I see that you and I share a love of the wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Martin Short. I just recently saw Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, and I can't recommend it enough if you haven't seen it.

It is itchy! Oh shoot. Thanks for the heads up.

I always love The Californians, even when it's at its worst. But Taylor, oh my god, it was like a "goose farting in your face", to quote a great, great fillum.

Last night, while I was watching this, it suddenly hit me, I LOVE MARTIN SHORT! I loved his jokes, his attitude, his little dance steps, his miming.

I have a sensitivity to wheat. I've had it my whole life. If I eat too much wheat, my arms break out in red bumps. Two of my sisters are affected the same way. I don't know if it's the wheat or the gluten in the wheat that causes the problem, but when I eat gluten-free foods (that never have wheat in them!) I am fine.

I thought Kanye was really good. I don't mind his antics because I don't think celebrity behavior is all that important, but his music is good.

Urv, you sound like a kind, interesting, rational person. It also struck me as very interesting about the telepathy. I mean yes, the guy could be delusional, or maybe he is just very, very honest and is telling the story without regard for how crazy it sounds.

Yas! I've worked restaurants, bars, hotel room service, banquets, coffeehouses and conventions. The only people I saw messing with people's food were total jerks. Like the meth-head fry cook, or the waiter with an anger problem. Most of the normal waitstaff would never, ever touch your food. Maybe they might short…

But why? why do you have a problem with someone shaming a person for shameful behavior? Why should only the customer be able to dish out the grief? I like it when a stupid, rude customer gets what's coming to them. And bad tipping is rude.

Ok, so I just went on a small exploratory google rabbit-hole on the IRS and tipping. When I was a waiter, the restaurant told us that they have to declare each waiter's sales and the amount of tips at the end of the night. They said that if the amount of tips was below 10% of sales that would produce a red flag with…

In America, waiters have to pay taxes on 10% of their sales. So for instance, if your bill was $100, the waiter has to pay taxes on $10 of income, because the government assumes that they made AT LEAST a 10% tip. So by giving them less than 10%, the poor waiter is paying income tax on money they never received. Yes,…

I had the same thought, and felt bad for the poor old guy, even as I was feeling bad for the musicians. Getting old sucks.

I would tell your friend, "hey I'm going to buy my own drinks from now on, cause you don't tip enough and I'm afraid of what they're going to start doing to YOUR drinks."

Is he single? He sounds nice.

I love Madeline in that movie.

As an ardent lover of The Cure, back in the day, I approve this message.

Ouch.
