It it just me... or is this Micheal Jackson in drag?

Teach him the joy of a mani with a matte clear coat. When I was in the Army it was one of my favorite guilty pleasures to go and get my nails done after a rough week of field training.

Someone's southern and nothing makes me smile more than Bless his heart being used as a scathing condemnation.

You are correct on the why. Generally I go with the consumption of unclean foods (shellfish and the like) that are prohibited in the same book of the bible as sexual conduct with someone of the same sex as an example of hypocrisy. Alternately the number of people who rail against the LGBT community in the name of…

Cake is delicious and every political, religious, or secular idea is made better with cake. It's all the bakers fault for supplying these delicious idea transmission devices.

I demand the right to send people to shellfish aversion therapy. Shellfish have no fins or scales and live in the water... eating them makes you unclean. BAN THE SHELLFISH and allow all these children who love shrimp to be sent to Therapy.

You know how most of the social experiments we hear about show that humanity is kind of screwed up? There's the famous Stanford Prison Experiment, for instance, where normal everyday men pretended to run a prison. Half of them became guards, half became prisoners. They didn't leave any detail out—prisoners got…

Pineapple double bacon extra cheese light sauce with none of the fancy crap on the crust... the crust is the pallet cleanser between slices you Philistines!

I'd dig it... except it's cut... gota FORGE your fire striker.

I have one ear pierced and I tend to small intricate silver hoops, or nerd bling (my Decepticon stud is one of my favorites). A silver Thor's hammer on a titanium chain. And my wedding ring (which happens to be a family wedding ring). Occasionally (read: when I'm doing Renfaire, SCA, or 'going out' with my wife) I…

"Get out of my swamp you kids!"

My wife is a Graphic Designer, this really does help ME understand some of the things she talks about when she points at signs and posters.

I might say something about hypocritically objectifying men... but really I just came to drool over Bruce Lee.

Just for the sake of completeness here is the fathers side of the story.

As I said, it doesn't come off as being an asshole so good on you. In general I assume the worst of everyone until proven otherwise. I guess I'm just a pessimist.

I think we've both just had bad experiences on opposite sides of this fence. Your description of your requests sounds reasonable as you include a 'hey I'm allergic to RAW X, but cooked X isn't a problem.' So you don't sound like you are an asshole.

I didn't try to change my point. I acknowledged that you were correct someone may not be allergic to ketchup when they are allergic to tomato. Indeed the more you know. I gave other examples of how I've seen people use allergies when they were being assholes about it.

I haven't worked in food service for over 20 years.
