I had a roommate that either refused to close his mouth while he chewed or was physically unable to do so. This was always annoying, but was unbearable at times. He had a habit of getting drunk and then getting a 2 AM snack of kimchi that he ate straight out of the jar while standing in front of the open fridge in…

This advice also carries over to bars and bartenders/bar backs, but its a little fuzzier.

I desperately need to re-watch this movie

There was (might still be) a Cheba Hut in Madison, WI. The sandwiches were quite good and they had a pretty decent happy hour. It was a great place to grab a bite and some beers before hockey game.

100% this. A “wallet” with business cards and a grocery list is essentially just trash. No one is going to get upset that it went missing, so why should anyone put in the effort to return it. Returning money, a key, or an ID is actually worth it.

I think that adding the ID variable would help a lot. You could have wallets with a combination of: ID, business cards, grocery list, key, and small/large amount of money. I’d bed that having an ID in the wallets with just business cards and grocery lists would get returned at a pretty decent rate. No one wants to go…

I don’t feel like this is counter-intuitive at all. Most people are good andwant to do good. Returning a wallet that has more money is doing more good.

So we’re just pretending Torche doesn’t exist?

I have fond memories of the Sega game:

Sorry Drew, the Cincinnati Reds already beat you to the sports call karaoke in the Reds Hall of Fame there is an interactive activity where you can see how Marty/Thom/Nuxy/others called famous Reds moments and then do it yourself.

It’s funny, but I (a straight dude who has struggled with weight) started to come around to this line of thinking after seeing a Jessica Simpson Weight Watchers ad a long time ago.

I miss living in Toronto.

“Oh yeah the prime minister, eh? He sure has screwed up things for Newfoundland. Life just hasn’t been the same since he made sodomy illegal.”

The have points/”evidence” your opponent is not prepared to directly dispute is a hallmark of far right debate tactics. My uncle used to basically surprise attack debate me about gay rights, equal rights, affirmative action, etc (basically whatever Bill/Rush/Ann was on about that week) and he’d have all these points…

Not everyone that seems to understand a topic on a deep level understands it in a way that can be communicated to other people, let alone taught and lots of people who do understand it in a way that can be communicated/taught completely lack the ability or desire to teach.

Also, I’m from Cincinnati and I feel like it partially qualifies Ohio for the South (which was not reflected in the categories) and also (weirdly) spiritually in the Northeast (which you did say Ohio qualifies for).

Indiana, while physically in the regions you specify, is most spiritually in the deepest of the Deep South.

No, I’m changing lanes, as appropriate.

I live in Detroit, so I see every flavor of bad driving: utter lack of turn signals, insanely frequent and ineffective lane changes, using the right turn lane at a stoplight as a way to pass traffic when it turns green, drag racing during rush hour that goes into oncoming traffic lanes, parking and driving in bike…
