The original, British version of Kitchen Nightmares always felt like a much more authentic version of Gordon Ramsey. Intense, occasionally dickish, but with both passion for cooking and compassion for restaurateurs. Pretty much all of the shows after than one have ramped up the dickish parts of his personality, to the…

If it hasn’t up until this point, you’re a stronger person than me.

That’s a big paragraph.

“Re-raising the issue of having an open relationship”; he might as well just say “Can we just break up so I can date my friend?” Your significant other finds out that you made out with your best friend, and you really think NOW is the time to bring up non-monogamy?

The nice thing about the cuck fantasy is that you can get 90% of the way there with just your imagination. The LW could/should approach his wife and say “You know how we used to talk about hot hot it would be if you fucked other guys? I get that you’re not comfortable actually doing that... but could we pretend? Could…

Well, they aren’t really nuts anyway.

She may well like the idea of being with other guys as a fantasy, but not everyone wants to turn that into a real-life thing.  My wife loves being told stories about her getting double-teamed and stuffed completely full, but she has no desire to act out on that IRL.  Best-case, maybe the letter-writer can get his wife…

Eh, it’s always been around, but when I first started watching porn around... ugh, 25-30 years ago, it wasn’t that common. I’m not sure any of my old porn videotapes had anal scenes. It was kind of a big deal when I acquired a DVD that featured some! But now, I would wager that butt stuff is in probably about a third…

This is a fetish thing, isn’t it?

Re: “good” used vehicles with flat depreciation curves, in addition to the potential of rebates/discounts (and often better financing rates), there’s value in having brand-new tires and brakes and all of the other “wear” items. You’re a few additional years away from the required 60k mile service. Safety equipment; if…

I’m a pretty generous tipper (usually close to 25%), but $50 on a single drink is ridic. It’s your birthday and you’re celebrating, but $20 is plenty generous. 20% on the $150 in food, $20 on a $250 drink, $50 tip.  Maybe round up to $60 because it’s your birthday.  A waiter that bitches about $60 on one table should…

There’s not much on Earth that’s sadder than a wrinkle-faced Jason Mewes dressed and acting like he’s still 14 years old.

Trucks look pretty much like they always have because...  the design works?

I can’t figure out how - in the long run - it’s not way cheaper for them to sort out their panel-stamping and paint issues versus committing to the MUCH higher materials costs of the think stainless, and the hit to performance resulting from the higher weight. They can’t do basic automaker things right, so they do it…

I long for my teenage years, when I could Grover Cleveland twice per night (non-consecutively!)

Sunday mornings might be your friend. I do tend to run in the road a bit more in the winter just because of the slush and crap, so try to find the quieter neighborhoods and at times when there isn’t as much traffic. But, I also live in the sticks.

Get yourself some cold-weather clothing (I hate UnderArmour but their Cold Gear tights and tops work terrific as base layers). Get a set of Kahtoola Nanospikes. Gets dark early so a headlamp. Keep running outside - it’s wonderful.  The sidewalks are usually in garbage shape so try and find some quieter residential…

Looks more like a Goofus to me.

“He flew in from Canada.  You don’t know him.”

Anyone who describes this design as “utilitarian” has never used a pickup truck for its intended purpose before.
