I ordered deep-dish pizza in Chicago on the night of the blizzard of New Years 1999. I had just flown back from LA and had no food in the house. Having heard the weather report I skipped the Blue Line and just took a cab straight from OHare to Hyde Park, worth every penny, because the snow was just starting to come…

Uncomfortable, yes, but then I have always relished that sort of task. I tried working as a sex educator but the family planning clinic was too conservative for me.

I feel like this could be taken as shots fired in a glorious pizza chain war that could carry on for months, if not years. You deliver a pizza to our pizza joint, so we send our employees undercover to pose as asshole customers and make ridiculous demands. They spike our water supply, so we burn down their city hall.

As soon as I saw “University of Santa Monica” I knew there was something fishy. There’s no UC in SaMo (there is a JC - Santa Monica City College), but there are a lot of wealthy, self-indulgent and gullible white people.

Nifty, thanks! Sounds like a fun story.

Oh wow, that choral rendition of “Wish Upon a Star”. I grew up in So Cal and went to Disney many times. As recently as the 90s locals could get a discounted ticket during the off-season for less than $25. So much nostalgia, I just can’t.

Me too! I say things like “super-duper” all the time, as well as a bunch of sayings I inherited from my grandmother, like “let’s get the road on the show” and “judas priest ridin on a bicycle.”

Yeah, totally. I can understand how someone might have started down the road of anthro/furry starting with Justin. I also had a huge crush on Riff Raff, not from RHPC but the animated cat character from the Heathcliff cartoon. I always liked bad boys, what can I say.

Yeah, totally in concurrence that it was an asshole comment on Bourdain’s part. It’s still fairly common for men to get gay-baited when they don’t perform masculinity to society’s standards. And the fat-shaming aspect as well, implying that a man who marries a woman larger than a supermodel must be looking for a…

As a woman with a male partner who is not at all macho, rather bookish, and can dress himself just fine, I sympathize with Ina regarding this insinuation. Yes, he is straight. I can confirm. If he were even just a tiny bit heteroflexible, you better believe I’d be all about taking advantage of that. No, he’s just an…

I would do Miguel. But if there were two actual, living Minions in the room, I would be distracted by the fact that OH MY GOD THEY’RE REAL. Like, wtf.

The Friends slash fiction you always/never wanted!

Based purely on what seems to be popular on fetish sites and porn sites, it looks like Milennials’ sexual tastes have been shaped by a) a lack of family stability and b) a small army of child psychologists. Stepmoms and stepsisters are an indication of a lot of young people having new, non-blood-related people showing…

Because the 18-year-old hasn’t been doing porn for 7 years already. She’s new.

DAMN. That’s definitely the best worst Friendly’s story. I used to like Friendly’s more, when I first moved to Upstate NY. Now it feels like a grease pit. The one that was closest to my house in Albany was constantly full of rowdy teenagers. Food all over the floor, can’t hear yourself think, etc. But the one in the…

In more ways than one, it seems.

I know, right? I was sure it was going to turn out that the window worker was somehow taking another customer’s order but still talking to the OP’s car.

I can maybe count a few times when I ate carrot cake and was disappointed. It is my favorite kind of cake, so I guess I’m biased. Grandma used to make it and her recipe was great. I’m all about the golden raisins.

Totally agree. I went to a place that claimed to be a steakhouse once and ordered a lovely piece of meat that had been cooked nicely - but with absolutely NO SEASONING at all. I was very disappointed.

I tell them to cook it “as rare as you dare.” If the establishment insists on getting it a few shades less red than I would do it at home, I’m okay with that. I’ve had servers pointedly ask me exactly how rare I wanted it. I told them that red and cool in the center was my preference, and that is what I got. I just…
