I’m just sitting here wondering what I’ve been doing with my life that I’ve never thought of this before.

In our office candy bowl, Snickers are ALWAYS the only ones left. I will eat them in a pinch, but I can’t conceive of a ranking where they’re not in the bottom two.

It’s also much better than a bullshit Snickers.

Ok, I have never considered myself a spice love, but nor did I think I was a spice wimp. But the Diablo sauce at Taco Bell practically burned my lips off. I will have to change my impression of my spice tolerance.

Yeah, I personally have never brought a gift any time I had to buy an airline ticket to a wedding. Regardless of whether my friends said anything about it behind my back, I’m still good friends with all of them.

I’m going to strongly disagree with Drew on the wedding gift. If you’re in the wedding and you have to travel, then your presence (and the grand you sunk into everything) is your gift to the couple. Anyone who expects a gift after asking you to spend that much money to be a member of their wedding is an asshole and…

When I was in college I played a late game of intramural softball, when it was at the point of the evening when things sometimes get dewy. One of the players was running for home, slipped on the damp home plate, and broke both his tibia and his fibula, if the way his foot was dangling from the end of his leg was any…

“Which is maybe an easier way to cut costs instead of, you know, attracting more riders by turning trains into something more than a slower form of air travel (albeit with slightly more leg room) through improvements like cheaper tickets and trains that actually arrive on time.”

“I like what she had to say, but I still think she’s—sorry—a bitch,” said a 56-year-old Trump supporter.”

Plus why are we still giving this anti-vaxx whackadoo work??

It’s less about the white liberal not wanting to hear it, and more about expecting black people to accommodate you because you don’t want to hear it. I’m well within my rights to ask my dad to stop using it, I’m way the fuck out of my lane if I’m asking a black person to stop using it because it makes me uncomfortable.

I understand your (well made) point here, but it also feels like a bit like chastising people for enjoying escapism and Downton Abbey for catering to them. Downton Abbey was popular because it was nice to watch pretty people in gorgeous costumes have personal dramas and only vaguely interact with the outside world.…

I really like the General Jane’s chicken, too! It’s just hard to pass up the burger.

Thank you!! And remind me, you’re generally of the opinion that the Au Cheval burger is great, right? Just trying to calibrate. :)

The only one I agree with is not allowing people to vape in the restaurant.

Rao’s is also the lowest in sodium of all the jarred sauces I’ve come across, if one happens to be required to watch/restrict that metric.

Ooooh, what did you think of the Loyalist burger? I haven’t made it over there yet (I’m waiting for the next time my brother is in town).

Yeah, this sounds about right. I’m like, 3 leaves of romaine and 3/4 a lb of olives and dressing.

Same, though I can’t say I wouldn’t change it for the world (the amount of uncomfortable stories I’ve had to listen to because people/strangers feel at ease around me is high). RBF was a life necessity when I lived in NYC, but now that I’m in Chicago I don’t have to deploy it nearly as often. But I’m always glad it’s…

I enjoyed this article, John, and thank you and your wife for subjecting yourself to such an unpleasant taste test for the sake of science. :)
