I’ve totally been able to change seats on Delta Basic Economy. One flight I swapped seats about 8 times (would have been less but moved a bunch before checking with SeatGuru). Of course, some flights have more options than others, but there are often exit row seats available. Although Delta leaves the “good” exit row…

“They dropped product on every inch of the Strawbridges’ property”

This is what I do if I’m paying cash; stand patiently in as open a spot as I can get to with money in my hand and try to make eye contact. I don’t wave it around like an asshole, but if they spot the money in my hand they know I’m not just standing there for no reason.  It doesn’t always make a difference and…

I like Spotted Cow but fuck paying $40 for a case of that stuff.

Do any of you have pets?  What do you do with that poop?

Weirdly enough, I saw Bush AND Live (plus Our Lady Peace) just over a week ago. I remember that music from 25 years ago, but it’s never really been my thing. Went with friends and had fun sitting on the lawn (Meadow Brook Amphitheater north of Detroit) but I certainly wouldn’t have gone by myself.

ODB is the correct nickname here.

Any city over 10,000 population: Turning left between intersections and there’s a separate turning lane in the middle? Get your whole fucking car into that lane! Leaving your right-side ass end in the driving lane just blocks the whole fucking flow of traffic because you can’t manage to get all the way over.

THIS.  For the people that get mad about “line cutters”, if there were two full lanes of traffic up until the merge point, there would be no cutters.  Everyone would just alternate merging and nobody would be angry that 50 cars passed them.  I’ve had this argument with many people and they are unable to envision that…

So we’re supposed to feel bad for you because you don’t stop at red lights before making a right turn and you got ticketed?

Many trips between Detroit & Chicago, and the most common thing I find along the way is someone blowing by me at 90 mph in a Prius.  I guess once you’re at highway speeds you’re not using the electric motor anyway, so may as well get to your destination quickly.

Irregardless, it defiantly depends on how you’re orientated.

How did this have zero stars after 9 minutes? I spit out my coffee!

My experience in Denver is almost everyone drives 5 mph UNDER the speed limit. I think they’re all stoned.

They re-released Zima the last two summers. I haven’t seen it this summer yet though. I still have one in the fridge from last year, and I do enjoy it on occasion so I’m glad they brought them back. I used to buy a six-pack semi-regularly many moons ago.

Yeah, they don’t really seem to be popular yet in Ontario, but LCBO does sell a few Vodka Soda canned beverages.  I live near the US border, so I buy it now and again because it’s refreshing and doesn’t bloat like beer.  They sell them at ball games too, and a wedding I went to in Chicago was going through them like…

Oh yeah, I remember flying out of Houston on a Sunday morning about 15 years ago and I went to the Chili’s at IAH and ordered a beer. The server told me I had to get food if I wanted a drink before noon on a Sunday. So I ordered a burger but she wouldn’t bring the beer until the burger was served. When the burger…

My parents are into genealogy and my dad likes to talk to me about some of the things he’s seen or simply read about in family histories. Remember that 100+ years ago, many of these things weren’t uncommon:

The county should retroactively declare the “century-old home” a historic property and force Ricketts to demolish the new one stating they hadn’t given approval to make any changes to the previous structure. Just blame the slow property designation on their lawyers.
