1000% agree. Also, she specifically cited McCain’s ability to work with Democrats AND maintain friendships with people like Kennedy who were on the opposite side of the political spectrum.

Yea that confused the hell out of me too. We had a lab/chesapeake mix for 9 years, and we are definitely not Southern.

I am glad I’m not the only person to immediately think of East Peck.

I need to know more. Like, Helen Hunt in Mad About You? Helen Hunt in “As Good As It Gets”? Helen Hunt in “Twister”?

I was in the gym earlier this week, mid-squat, and I started to get teary eyed to a Dropkick Murphys song.

I keep flip flopping on whether this is a good deal for me. I have a 12gb plan right now with VZW, and I get a corporate discount. I lose the discount if I go to unlimited, and based on my sketched out math I get unlimited data for ~$5 more per month (but I don’t currently use all 12gb). On the other hand, I pay…

I’ve seen WEIRD things happen with insurance quotes sometimes though. I had Liberty Mutual for years, I was under my parents policy and then on my own. All of the sudden one year my insurance premium jumped from ~$1,000 to $3,000, on a paid-off 6 year old Prius. I called them to find out what was going on, and was…

They’re all terrible. But oh man...I am rooting for Omarosa simply because there’s a poetry in him being taken down by a woman who is only famous because of him.

Oh god that sounds awful. That management sounds super shitty. I hope you found better work afterwards! Not surprised B&N poached a bunch of your baristas, they did that to us too. Not that it took much, when your choices were working in a clean, maintained, new Starbucks, or a cafe so nondescript regular customers…

Aww Borders. I left in 2006, so I was there right as they started converting from in-house cafes to Seattles Best. Except my store, which was deemed “too difficult” to convert because of age and layout.

My theory, based entirely on the infinite Reys in the mirror scene, is that Rey is the only viable outcome of a cloning program. She doesn’t have to be a clone of a Skywalker, but the idea that someone took an amalgation of a bunch of Jedi and tried to clone them, with only one surviving.

Is that why his grandson went by Steven R McQueen on Vampire Diaries?

Worse, they could say they were carp babes and be catfishing. That wouldn’t be very sunny. That’s a quite a shock coming down the pike. It would really minnow the readership. And Univision would watch from their perch.

Honestly? The one on the left looks more like someone de-grossified Casey Affleck. 

Yikes, glad you didn’t gore your hand. Those soup bags...I remember them. Also the proofer where they kept the paninis, and this was when they had the vegetarian one with the mushrooms...every time those were in it I swear that whole area smelled like savory death.

It’s been 15 years since I was on the front lines at Panera, but IIRC the salads are made in-house, so you’re good there.

I worked for Panera for almost a year in college. Just the sight of that bread bowl brings back smells and memories that made me very, very glad I was already done with lunch.

Gamestop has them, at least they did when I bought my SNES Classic from them (I did have to call a local Gamestop to put the SNES on hold). 

Good points! Another outlier: Golden Girls. I swear that show exists in some sort of magic time capsule where the story and jokes remain relevant no matter when you’re watching it. 

I have been known to make myself a bowl of my son’s honey nut cheerios solely so I can have the milk that’s leftover. It’s excellent in homemade cold brew.
