If Dixon Ti’s weren’t #1 (or tied for it), it would have been on. And I mean junior rodeo-level on.

Pickup trucks usually have them in the rear cab wall, fyi, in case anyone was wondering.

this is why i come here... fascinating.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I don’t think most people understand this.

General rule, ask for one modification. More than that, pick another dish, or prepare to be shot down. I have to ask for modifications all the time, due to allergies. However, I have already looked at the menu before I hit the restaurant, know if they have an allergen menu, and have two choices in mind. I don’t want…

This reminds me of the exasperated looks you see on people when babies cry on airplanes or in public places, like “What’s this baby think she’s doing? Crying? Preposterous!” I am almost 40 and don’t have kids, but I’m mature enough to know that kids cry sometimes. They also drop things and act up. Knowing all this,…

Finally, I’m fundamentally opposed to the opinion that suggests we should default to keeping kids from anywhere they might cause a disturbance. Every adult today was a major inconvenience for the first 5 years of their life, and a periodic frustration for at least the next 10-15. Everyone put up with you, and without…

Person with children doesn’t want to change their ways and will do anything to justify that.

“Every adult today was a major inconvenience for the first 5 years of their life, and a periodic frustration for at least the next 10-15.”

Correct. And rational. A rare combo.

It’s a great chance to teach children about indoor voices. Speak to them quietly and they pick up the tone.

Yeah, if the child is having a full blown melt down that’s disturbing everyone, they need to be removed as much for their own benefit as everybody else’s. One parent needs to take the child outside while the other parent gets the food boxed up and paid for. Time to parent, not dine out.

In my experience the worst kid behavior are kids that cannot remain seated. Yesterday at work we had a baby that could barely walk slowly crawling up and down the short staid between two sections of the theatre (I work at a place similar to Alamo Drafthouse, movie + bar + food). Right in a high traffic area where both…

I think one mistake that a lot of parents make is taking their kids a bit too late, probably forgetting how much longer it takes food to arrive after you sit down at a restaurant than after you sit down at home. As such, kids gain a reputation.

Living in Japan for so many years has made it so that foreigners like me have to answer questions asked by Japanese about foreigners like him. There’s always idiots that just have to push the boundaries and just refuse to try and understand Japanese social rules. Most are unspoken, but these particular foreigners need…

That’s a “big town” from where I’m from. 😄

You have to say, they sure got their money’s worth out of the Grumman LLV.

Or even better, the Top Gear one
