Seriously. He sounds like a dude who just got a Northern Brewer gift card and is currently fermenting his first batch. Got a long way to go, Bobby.

What would happen if people just refused to pay? Or “forgot” for awhile until it would feel stupid for her to start chasing them for money? I mean, if you can’t or don’t want to host Xmas, then don’t. Or talk about it WELL IN ADVANCE and lay out the reasons for wanting to shake everyone down for a tenner and let folks…

I LOVE HIM!! If I owned that farm, he’d have hats and possibly scarves and a cool backstory and everything. 

Same. I love the show and deli and I *miss* the Carnegie, but there is no way in hell I’m standing in line for this. I have all the free time in the world, too. But I’m not going anywhere near this. Probably.

Seconded. There is also a fantastic place in Livingston (Eppie’s Essen) that is worth the drive up there from my house. 

If you have enough money, you can loophole your way through anything. And if Phil was as abusive/nuts as Ronnie (and others) have reported him to be, you could also quite easily forge your spouse’s signature on whatever documents.

Assuming, of course, that this isn’t some big corporate chain where the “chef” does little more than dunk things in a fryer. 

Yeah, remember when Jessica Simpson was tapped to be in Weight Watchers commercials like, three days after she gave birth, so they commercials were all just closeups of her face.

We went to NYC for the parade on actual Thanksgiving, intending to have the big dinner on Friday instead. That was a fun year - it was the year the Comedy Central float RickRolled the parade (where we were standing he was still out ON the float and not hiding inside for the stunt) and I, a long-time unironic Rick…

I can agree on most points except for the “chefs are better cooks than your family” which is straight bullshit. Plenty of home cooks are absolutely transcendent.

No way. A white woman in Middle America working as manager for McDonald’s not only voted for 45, but she flies his flag outside her shitty little double-wide. She has stickers on her busted-ass Nissan Sentra, and probably owns at least one t-shirt with a Confederate flag on it, despite having been born and raised in…

Let us go, and I’ll bring back the sun.

That is a terrible movie full of excellent quotes. 

People are really taking this keto diet fad too far.

Tell them you’re Phoebe, not Ursula.

I had a similar conversation with a guest lecturer at my school. He was all “um but do you remember 9/11? I was in high school, so I remember it well.”
Me: “I was 26.” 

I mean, for fuck’s sake, dude.

That’s because The Poors are supposed to be shopping at Goodwill (and similar) exclusively. How dare they buy anything new, ever?

Guinness is in no way the “baseline” of stouts. There are tons of different styles, including the dry stout, of which Guinness is an excellent example. But to judge all stouts against Guinness is silly because they’re not all the same.

eBay?

Yes. It’s “zero to the infinite power plus 1.”
