My worst peeve from my days behind the bar was always whistling. I’d always yell “I’m not a fucking dog!” and then ignore them. I generally was quite forgiving of rudeness too, but whistling really did piss me off.

But at a number that large your actual value will approach the expected value very closely.

Most bartenders “serve the space” when it’s packed, working up and down the bar, as it’s simply impossible to keep track of who’s next. So yeah someone who steps up after you may get served first, but it’s unlikely it’s because they’re a woman, just that the bartender is moving down the line. When a bartender is…

Having money in your hand is fine and it does help a bartender in a packed bar identify you as someone ready to order. That does not mean of course you should reach out and shove it in his or her face.

He knows. He has a 14 year old sister after all. I’m worried about all of those grown men out there who don’t have 14 year old sisters, and thus have no way of knowing that grown men raping children is bad.

Simmons has always sort of hero worshiped both Gladwell and Klosterman. He treats them like intellectual behemoths. Now I actually don’t mind either, but I read them specifically because I don’t want to be intellectually challenged while sitting on the crapper.

The problem is that he takes a reasonable point, “leaders shouldn’t be expected to be skilled at everything,”and uses it to say that leaders are absolved from knowing anything except a narrowly defined job description, “leaders shouldn’t be expected to know much of anything.”

I’d be curious too see if his buy out was lowered, which if it was could be just as valuable, if not more so, than a raise.

To be honest, I fully expect him to have health issues during the coming election. He simply looks terrible.

You joke, but I am 99% convinced that in the past six months Trump has become increasingly dependent on amphetamines. There’s long been rumors of course, and he’s erratic regardless, but my god he’s shown all the signs lately.

I am like this, but only over the phone. Something triggers me, maybe it’s the knowledge that their entire apparatus was constructed with one goal in mind, to get me off the phone and shut me up, not solve my problem. I find myself rude and impatient. I don’t have this problem face to face, and it’s not due to…

Can he be their offensive coordinator? Would fill a much bigger need.

I think Doug Marrone is a shit coach. I think good organizations find ways to make it work with difficult players.

Calling out Biden’s capacity to govern isn’t disqualifying, but using the “gotcha” method in a clearly pre-planned way was second rate. Castro deserves criticism for this cheap trick.

Google a name for me kiddo. “Donald Trump.”

Announcer: AND NOW LET’S GIVE A BIG HAND TO JACK RUSSELL, WHO WILL BE PERFORMING TODAY’S NATIONAL ANTHEM!

I’m willing to bet he took one for the team so to speak. It needed to be said but whoever said it was gonna catch shit for it. So Castro, who at this point has got to be angling for VP, stepped up and did it. Now he hopes to be rewarded down the road. When he drops out, whomever he endorses will be the one who put him…

Spenser Hall is pretty high up there on this trash site that seems to pull this shit all the time. Just wondering how long he gets a pass because he’s buddies with a lot of the Deadspin writers from the old days? I seem to recall a lot of bs excuses when that atrocious piece on the rapist cop happened right under his…

Considering the average age of a Rolling Stones concert goer must be 65, I figure they all want to be home and in bed by 9pm anyways.
