@Platypus Man: Some chains still give comparable prices and no club cards. But like I said "when possible." It's not the end of the world if I have to use one.

@Platypus Man: I don't think you actually "save" money from them. Every store just decided about 10 years ago that they weren't going to give you any markdowns if you didn't hand over your purchasing data to them. I remember before they existed, you had the same sales as you do today, except today you need to hand…

Cool. But unless it's one of the 3 or so club cards that I actually use more than once a year, I just get a new one and then throw it away each time.

@Ford Tempo Fanatic: What are you talking about, EVERYONE bitches about getting stuck in snow

Do not be fooled by this little stunt, all three parties involved here are horrible.

@Hello Mister Walrus: SWAN DIVE.....into the best night of your life

Honestly what else do you expect from this guy, people? This is literally the most you could ask of someone in this situation, outside of inventing a time machine and changing his actions. Goddamn. Get over yourselves, everybody.

THIS IS THE WORST THING EVER. OH MY GOD I HATE IT SO MUCH AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE IN MY LIFEAAAAARGH1!!!

This is not really that bad. I've ridden buses and above-ground metro trains and don't really notice the difference between that and the no-service-having underground trains.

I work with a lot of attorneys and so I have seen many an overzealous disclaimer. One of them writes that if you are not the intended recipient, you should "delete the message without reading it." How the hell am I supposed to fulfill that demand??

I'm not a fan of this crap. It's lazy. There are several people with my name that have an online presence, and my last name is pretty uncommon. One of them lives in the same state as me and works in the same industry as me. Fortunately none of them are posing with bongs or in trouble with the law. I'm sorry but I just…

Most of the costs in this article are nickel and dime stuff which you should anticipate. Registration, maintenance, etc, should not be dealbreakers if you anticipate properly.

Has anyone ever successfully done that 1:1 alcohol:water strategy for more than a few beers? I tried it and I just have to piss non-freaking-stop! I suppose it works in that I am to busy hitting a bathroom every 15 minutes to drink more.
