How many NYC rats were killed on 9/11? I’m counting rats that were in the building, or rats living right below, or in the surrounding sewers.

I’ve actually bowled there! Not well, but I did. It is easily the nicest place I’ve ever bowled, they do everything right there, lots of attention to detail. Sadly, they built it in the 7th circle of hell, so I don’t get out there too often to bowl because 1) Reno sucks and 2) it’s near impossible to get to Reno from…

Wife and I were on a cruise that stopped in New Brunswick, and so the one thing I wanted to see was this candlepin bowling I’ve always heard about. We had to trek quite a ways from all the touristy cruise port shit, until we stumbled upon this very nondescript shopping cent[re] with candlepin bowling! And so, inside,…

Since you’re in the industry, I imagine you must’ve been to that insane cathedral of bowling in Reno? I was there for work last year and was bored out of my mind stumbling around sad and shitty downtown Reno randomly until I slipped into that building. Holy shit I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was practically all alone…

Haven’t really thought about it lately, but do people no longer use the term “Bowling Alley” anymore? Do the corporates fear it echoes too many memories of a sinister time or something?

“They only have four officers working the event because the Lynx have such a pathetic draw.”

Television? Mmmyes, I more fancy the Williams sisters from behind the Royal Box at Centre Court..

Just for frame of reference:

The USOC are about as insane as the NFL when it comes to companies (re: small mom & pop bars) daring to mention the hallowed name “SuperBowl” in any advertising.

I know this is a buzzkill thing to bring up when talking about the fun and exciting possibilities of the HyperLoop, but all I can think of is the ease of which some terrorist assholes could cause the immediate death of thousands of people if it were as easy as deploying explosives to a very accessible massive…

What about conversational topics? Would, say, NBA off-season trade rumor talk, for example, appear to be pandering ? Even if you know your shit, besides the obvious (politics, Al Sharpton, etc) are there topics that are generally off-limits for a white fellow to bring up in trying to have friendly cookout conversation?

Your comment was on-point save for “write okay sounding music” — that song couldn’t end quick enough, it’s fucking horrible. The whole time I’m thinking “people listen to this slop on purpose?”

Imagine Oregon Trail while waiting for the dentist.. tis but a dream...

Your letter should have suggested that the man go on another vision quest, negotiate a license agreement with the Shaman and file the patent application on his behalf. Maybe a spirit animal could operate as the Shaman’s representative. Perhaps a wise owl or tricky coyote?

That’s metric time, dude. Each day is 10 hours of 100 minutes each. Problem is, the sun’s not metric, so each minute is 86 seconds long instead of 100, like they’re supposed to be. Stupid goddam American sun.

Simply a coaster for the chalice.

The voice of reason Bailey K! I am a recruiter and I see this kind of thing all the time and to your point more often than not there is a significant reason for being passed over. Just because you went to school, interned, etc that does not guarantee you jack shit and the entitlement mentality is ridiculous these…
