Completely agree, but doomed to have my rant relegated to the greys.  Short version:  sometimes the above gifts are because that is all someone can afford, but they still want to share love.  That’s awesome.  To s**t on that spirit, as this list does, is downright pitiful.

Counterpoint: F*** you

If you think the point is whether or not the gift is up to your snobbish standards, you are missing the entire damn point.

I too am snobbish about my food. I would never gift any of the above. But you know what? I have family members who couldn’t afford great gifts. Who have given me many of the…

Good observation.  My car did not, in fact, have wings, rudder, flight attendants, or flotation devices either.

As a person who grew up in the north and has done many stops in the car on pure ice......I can’t clench my butt enough to imagine landing that plane.

Not enough stars.

I’d describe the taste of dirty lights as slightly sweet, tinged with acidity.  One hint of that and I’ll send my beer back. I describe it as tasting like a hint of the smell of a bar rail with spillage that hasn’t been cleaned. Oddly sweet, slightly pungent.

You mean this guy? The clearly not-gutless guy cowering as “patriots” “peacefully” exercised their “rights” by attacking Congress:

So it’s Molto Mario but without sitting across the counter from him. It tracks. I wouldn’t want to get within arms reach of that creep.

Random aside, I used to love his show. My ex always wondered why saying he was disgusting and creepy. Turns out it was one of the few things she was right about....

My favorite bistro near my house always follows macchiato orders with, “It’s not like Starbucks.  It is espresso with a bit of steamed milk.”  I feel for baristas who constantly have to explain that what a customer thinks is a macchiato is not in fact a macchiato.

Uhhhh.....did you read the article?

No. The point being one side of the sport literally employs hundreds with the lone goal of not overlooking any piece of data that can provide a competitive advantage.

I do find it kind of shocking this was overlooked considering F1 teams are on the cutting edge of data driven process and performance.

This list is completely invalidated without the inclusion of Julio’s. Also, a Tex-Mex chain branded offering is in no way the best totopos.

I worked as a telemarketer for a summer as a kid.  This is the equivalent of people doing the Seinfeld “can I call you at home and bother you?”  People did it all the time.  Thought they were funny.  Weren’t.

I’ve had good deep dish pizza in one place in my life.....and that was Toronto.

Hey, wasn’t saying $15k on a side by side was good investment, but know too many at work who have spent north of $10k on the dumb things....

Fair point....god help us if Gaetz gets his hands on a RZR.

While I’m not familiar with the off-roading scene in Moab, if it is anything like where I grew up it can be summarized thusly:

On that sidenote, I’ve never loved the 3rd party IPs being included. It’s almost like they felt they had to respond to Sony’s clone (what was it called? PS All Stars or something?) and did so by getting Snake included, when in reality the PS version was zero threat so SSB.

Normally this is the point where I step into the comments to point out that folks don’t understand how IP protection works and that the freakout over Nintendo’s actions is misplaced, while pointing out Nintendo then needs to step up themselves to fill the void, but....
