It’s the hair. 90% of males with great hair try to coast through life without developing a personality, or hunting skills as the case may be

I suspect that one reason they cast a black Ariel is because they realized that the vaguely Caribbean feel to the ocean world (and the vaguely Calypso beats to some of the songs) would seem less problematic if they had black people as the ruling cast of this aquatic Caribbean undersea nation.

No amount or type of ointment will toughen pass and tender pads enough to endure hot pavement! Invest in a pair of high quality dog boots and use them! I’ve used only Woof Hoofs for my service dog and like them a lot. They are custom fit by your measurements and you purchase them in pairs since their paws can be…

This would be like me saying ‘I have no kids, therefore I should not pay any taxes that go towards schools, child welfare programs or anything that has to do with children.’ How did these words make it to Mitch McC’s turtle beak??

Only raging alcoholics and true Scotsmen ;)

Absolutely. Don’t be afraid to ask questions is simple but powerful advice.

A lot of this is good advice for life. Just ask if you don’t know. You will usually end up looking worse if you pretend, and most people would rather answer some polite questions than puzzle out bizarre requests.

The problem is that many people think a standard martini is made with vodka, and would complain if they got one with gin.

Please don’t do this. I know nothing about your tastes or your palate. What might taste excellent to me might taste like bull urine to you. Do you like sweet drinks? Stiff drinks? The only way to know is to now barrage you with a litany of questions, which is taking away from my time serving other customers, which is…

“The bartender smirked. “No, I mean, do you want Vodka or Gin?” I felt like a damn fool. “

my old Craiglist roommate used to mortify me when we went to bars and he’d order a “Lindsay Lohan”

Chardonnay: A white wine that tastes like freshly-mown grass steeped in cat urine.

You serve on the West Coast.

It depends on the situation. I wouldn’t say a red flag, but a possible warning sign. It just means to look into it more. You could have been focused on school or work and didn’t have time for relationships, you could have been having a lot of one-nighters and now you want to settle down or maybe you were trying for…

Not necessarily. It depends on why. Plenty of 27 year olds have been too focused on their education and careers to have had serious relationships. I don’t see anything wrong with that.

I don’t think anyone is saying mental illness should limit relationship prospects. It’s when certain elements of specific mental illness rear their ugly heads, go unchecked, and hijack the entire relationship. A relationship is not a fundamental right.

Is being 27 and having never been in a relationship a red flag? It feels like only recently (in the last two years or so) that I’ve begun to take an interest in stating a relationship beyond hanging out.

Because that is typically who are you are interacting with on first dates, which often involve dinner at a restaurant.

Why is the first one so specific? It should just be rude to any person for no reason. Why single out waiters and the sort?
