Whenever I hit a speed bump in a conversation, I ask a hypothetical question, most often food related. It usually gets interesting results, even from anxious introverts. Just remember that there are no wrong answers. Even if the only food that person could eat every day for a year on a desert island is Rice-a-Roni. 

My usual go-to option is to blow that cash on crap at the airport gift shop. Fridge magnet, shot glass, postcard, whatever. Or a snack and a magazine for the plane ride.

Totally+1 on the bidet. My girlfriend and friends are sick to death of hearing me proselytizing about it, but if loving to have a clean ass hole is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right.

Agreed. I once dated a girl who didn’t like the taste and effect of alcohol. That wasn’t an issue, but she smoked weed ‘erry day, though. At first I was like “Interesting, a challenge but we could make it work.” After a few weeks though, it was just two more items on the long list of reasons to end it.

Yes! As a beer geek who often has guests over, I’m damn glad to have cheap beer in the back of the fridge for friends who scoff at my fancy ass brews. If I’ve tried and failed to convert this person to craft beers, it’s their decision, so go ahead and drink this silver bullet that’s been given to me by someone else…

Some brewpubs will just trade you your old growler for a new one when you go fill up, which makes sense quality-wise. If I don’t know how clean your growler is, I wouldn’t put my beer in it.

The Blue Jays GM just ordered 5 plates of what Nimmo ate and sent it to Vladdy Jr's hotel room...

Just like fishing. If you have good bait at the end of your line, you’ll catch your fish.

That's what I thought. The only people I know who achieved status were commuting on planes on a weekly basis. 

I travel relatively often for work, but unfortunately I don’t get to pick and choose my travel arrangements. My company deals with a travel agency, so I end up having to take whatever airline they impose on me. So even though I’m in multiple travel reward programs, I simply never get enough points to do anything, or…

I used to work for a pharma CEO who treated his employees like vassals, but would bend over backwards to get medicine where it was needed. He had his regulatory affairs team work crazy hours to get a drug approved in far off countries, not to mention all the other costs (including outright bribery) knowing full well…

Holy shit that's a lot of points! 

Yes! That’s my major gripe with the scene in Montreal. Apparently they put in a shitload of rules for any food truck here. It has to be connected to a brick and mortar place, and it has to be “elevated” street food, whatever the fuck that means. It means that tacos are 8$, and a poutine is 14$ or more. Hard pass for…

Totally agree. You’re better off trading off points for a lesser reward/trip than squirrel away points only to get the shaft. It happened to me on more than one occasion. Fuck you, Aeroplan, and just about every hotel points system.

NFL head office lackey: “Mr.Belicick, you need to sign this anti-cheating pledge, sir...”

I can’t be the only person here who has a full bar set, with shaker, strainer, jiggers, stirring spoons, etc. and never actually used any of it. I think the only cocktail I’ve made at home in the past 2+ years is mimosas. When my +1 moved in she brought along her dozen bottles of various booze that hasn’t done…

Montréal - the bus to get to the airport is the 747. To use this bus, you have to buy a day pass, 10$. When I travel for work, I buy the pass and when I arrive at the airport, I simply give my pass away to a tourist waiting in line to buy a pass. I’m already at my destination therefore I don’t need it anymore, but…

Yeah, chances are they’ll simply pick the two candidates with the biggest social media following. So that Logan Paul asswipe and that egg from Twitter.

Sorry Dude, but that asshole is a racist dipshit who spent 20 years making money from the hockey goonery era (how many DC’s Rock ‘em, Sock ‘em hockey tapes did he put out?).

Yep, I’ve checked in bags at hotels without having a room there a few times. Works surprisingly well at high end hotels.
