Thank you for this list! I am so very not interested in giving a tip to the company. I am kind of appalled that companies can get away with this.

I’ve done this before at a few Cubs games. Haven’t figured out how to post on Youtube yet so I think I’m safe.

World-class aeronautics and engineering programs ;)

Apollo 13 went further from the earth but there were three of them in the capsule and they never landed. Collins holds the record for being the human being who was the greatest distance from the next closest human being.

I honestly love Michael Collins, he’s been a hero of mine for years. I’m fascinated by the bravery it took to be the only human on the dark side of the moon, with no contact from anyone. While up there, he actually had to tell himself “ok, if things go wrong on the surface, I definitely won’t kill myself, though…

He and Kubrick clashed on the set. Very painful memory.

a house cast is never satisfied

Hell, I’ll take Tarantino on a bad day over the best that Abrams can give.  Tarantino, to paraphrase Roger Ebert, can certainly make a bad movie, but never a boring one.  Abrams is just a peddler of mystery box entertainment, but like in the game show, most of the time what’s in the mystery box is crap.  

Detroit had two top offensive talent that were transcendent in the way they played the game at their position (Sanders and Calvin Johnson). Both retired early (with good money still on their contracts) instead of continuing their career with the Lions.

Yeah but did you see how fucking high he jumped?!?

Even the bull turns around like “holy shit, did you guys see that?”

I’ll try it one of these days, but that’s what I think of when I think of TVP. Gas station food, specifically the awful-by-C-store-standards hot box stuff at ARCO am/pm stores like the one I lived behind* when I was in college.

OTOH, a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich doesn’t drop a big blob of mayonnaise every time I take a bite. When I order a chicken sandwich from McDonald’s, this happens Every. Single. Time.

Nah. What it really is that they do serve good tasting food. Their stores are clean and their service is great. Most people don’t give a shit about the political thing and they want a fast food place where the food is good, the restaurant is clean, and the service is top notch. Chick-fil-A gives them all of that.

Nobody actually pays for first class out of pocket. They are either enjoying an elite upgrade or their employer is footing the bill.

basically, what they were offering six months ago

Boxing is such a cluster. There are 17 weight divisions that can have 4 different world champions. So at any time there can be 68 Champions. And I’m not sure this includes the “Lineal Champion.”  Is this a carry over from when they were kids when Everyone Gets a Trophy?  

“High heat buttered” and “not smoking” are mutually contradictory unless you are using clarified butter.

You started losing me at thongs, then totally lost me with not resting your steaks.
