I’m sorry to hear that, I hope you find something quickly.

Unfortunately, in many cities it’s either one or the other.

Thank you, sir. 

This is absolutely something to keep in mind. The UAE now requires you to notify them about ANYTHING you’re bringing into the country. The punishments for bringing in anything that could be considered psychotropic (even neuropathic, which is the exact opposite) or narcotic can be grim. 

Am I wrong in feeling like Japanese whiskey is like really nice Irish whisky?

I really appreciate your perspective on this.

As a professional historian, I could give two shits about this. Presidential libraries are for writers who want to sell books about Great Men for old men to read on cruises and in proctologist waiting rooms. Absolutely no historical information of any real historical value can be found in a presidential library that…

This sounds like exactly the food that drunks want...

I use the broiler to add texture and a bit of char.

Volcanic BLACK Himalayan salt is totally different in that it smells and tastes a bit like rotten eggs.

I set a personal goal of 25 rejections last year and almost…

I’m surprised neither had a big fucking clock hanging from a chain on his neck. 

I was following this pretty closely at one point on an investing message board, and it I seem to remember that Dominion is also basically trying to blackmail South Carolina into pushing this through on favorable terms while releasing it from liability for the project.

Okay, this is only half bullshit. Hizbullah does have a presence of sorts in Venezuela and Colombia in part because there were migrations of Lebanese people there over time and it’s hooked itself into the cocaine trade as a way to help finance its operations. (The right wing media latched onto this years ago to…

That fight would  likely be more interesting than any actual remaining Wizards games. Portis should be warned that Kieff probably fights dirty. 

Well, they’re not the Wizards or Suns yet.
