My understanding is that they require a membership because a) they give out free samples b) the aisles are congested enough and c) if you're not a member, why let the fucksticks who are willing to try load up a cart and make extra work for the associates when they are denied at checkout? Not super complicated, really.…

Try living in Tennessee. You have to go to a liquor store to buy wine (though they did just pass a law allowing every county to have a referendum on grocery store wine sales if you get 20000 signatures on a petition) and said stores are closed on Sundays and you can't buy beer or any alcohol at restaurants before noon…

God I miss King of the Hill.

To be fair, I bought a groupon for a fitness class in February and have been a full paying member since. (If you're in Nashville, LibFit on Charlotte is fun but brutal and has shaved 4% body fat for me.) I'm also a costco member but didn't even know they offer oil changes. What do they charge where you are? (I know I…

Yeah, I'm waiting for Clay Travis to post a picture of his wet panties over this.

Also CWS!

Lagunitas is some solid stuff - I love Lil Sumpin but that is as hoppy as I can go. There is a brewery here called Yazoo that provides beer for a weekly music show in the park, and one week the only beer they offered was called the hop project. It must been like 1000 IBU and I just don't get it. I'm probably averse to…

Can somebody explain to me the popularity of IPA? The fact that the only reason it was invented was to ensure it made it from England to India unspoiled should be deterrent enough, but I'm so sick of trying out new beers only to find that the brewery used more hops than Michael Jordan to make it.

Wait, is Good Eats back on? Or is it just another thing on YouTube to go with the racist comments and oil change how-tos?

My understanding was that one of the pitot tubes froze over, which resulted in the pilots getting incorrect air speed readings. Is that the hardware update you referred to?

Clay Travis is a fucking moron whose writing is redundant and simplistic. I don't know if, in his current arrangement with Fox Sports, he even answers to an editor. (He claims not to.)

glad somebody got the joke.

I found the energy to locate the article: the company is called Dorco (I wasn't far off!)

Gizmodo or Lifehacker did some due diligence on that company and located the company that THEY source from - you can order them from Amazon for like half the price of the Dollar Shave Club. Docor or soem shit like that. I'm too lazy to loo

"I don't get it."

So good. +√ -1

Domestic first class tickets don't get you much except free drinks on the place.

Those are actually really good points. I'm not sure I buy the form factor as much, but the indication of a free bench is important. But the status quo can change such that 2 45s indicate a free bench! I still think the number of people who start off with at least 135 is at least 5x the number who don't.

Yep, sounds like you are one of the mouth breathers who wouldn't get an invite.

Point taken. I suppose I should have mentioned that what's more interesting is the stuff on the tarmac. Like the 777s, 787s, A380s, etc.
