Well, actually, retardation and impulse-disorder-causing-brain-damage is a reasonable answer to the question, “did he know what he was doing”. This is why the good lord made court-appointed analysts and doctors. Need to see wut’s wut, if we’re at all civilized.

Clearly, they’ve never found their own target.

And when did “watching practice” become a parents job. My kid does her extra curriculars because she likes them, not for me. I’m all for watching games and performances but it’s absurd to think that a parent should spend hours watching from the sidelines a week.

I am an idiot. He had actually spelled it “Worcester,” and somehow—I have no idea why—I corrected it to a wrong spelling. I’ve seen that name a hundred times, I know how it’s pronounced, I’ve BEEN there before, ffs. I have no idea what the hell happened when I was editing that story.

I am not a big wine drinker. I find the dry wines to "puckering" for me. About 30 years ago my MIL turned me on to Fetzer Gewurztraminer. It is a sweeter white wine. I have also found that Reislings can be a sweeter wine. For reds, I find that Merlots and Shiraz/Syrah tend to have a softer feel and are not as dry. For…

Part of it may be — and this is just my theory here — that residual sugar tends to mask things in wine. Which means if you’re making a few million cases of something for national distribution, and you’re getting the fruit from different regions, and you need to even out the taste a little more, sugar can be your…

You no doubt have many sterling qualities that you’re far too modest to enumerate. :)

My friends are excellent. Why they put up with me when I have a tendency to drink too many Negronis and then start weeping is beyond me.

these folks are not exactly wine snobs

Taking food dares is another popular form of “too drunk” that is highly underrated. Nothing says bombed like a garlic mushroom chocolate cherry sundae pizza.

They’re not against abortions as much as they’re against women having sex. And they will say on one hand that it’s a precious life and on the other that if a woman plays around, she deserves what she gets.

Still, DON’T ACTUALLY PUNCH THEM.

I work in a shelter for homeless women. Bless you for your really useful donations.

Aww *hugs back* I can take all the hugs I can get! I got inspired after I read an article about how that’s the most needed item at women’s shelters: tampons/pads. I don’t need them anymore (hysterectomy) so I gathered the ones I had left, have been buying a ton of them, along with formula and stuff, and have been…

I started watching it a little over a decade ago when they showed it on some now defunct channel, and then caught up on the seasons with iTunes. When they started streaming them on Netflix I was so excited, since they had the movies and the specials, and they’ve even made new episodes. The movie isn’t as good as the…

My friend had me watch the movie years ago before the show and I just did not get it at the time (and I like weed!). She said the movie wasn’t great and the show was a lot better. I started watching recently and am on season 6 right now. It is fucking funny, and I do find myself saying Ricky-isms now. “Worst case…

I’ve called him “Samsquanch” for YEARS ever since I first saw that episode. So much of my lexicon has come from “Trailer Park Boys” that it’s kind of sad, but that’s my favorite comedy series ever. Their live shows are pretty damn good too.

Let's assume that she really didn't mean 200 degrees, and I'll be generous and assume you're all not sociopaths...because anyone who has worked with food knows that being burned hurts and causes permanent damage...damn, rudeness does not equal physical harm. For the last time, the customer was rude, but let's not play…

He told her in a CYA kind of way, yes technically I told the customer it was too hot, but also noted the extra effort to heat the dish beyond what was reasonable. It was even noted that the dish couldn't be picked up without a napkin. Now if he really cared, he would've stated that to the customer. He did not. No…
