I haven't had the displeasure of reading the book, but something tells me he's wrong on God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy as well.
How long until this is a primary ad? Imagine that steely-sounding voice that you know from doing all of those negative ad voiceovers:
There's enough room in New Orleans for two costumed dog krewes. Let's face it, we could probably even use a few more.
Seriously. That fork needed to be tagged, kept separate from all the other silverware, and burned.
These were all especially horrible and depressing today. Except Conchita- she was funny.
My husband and I went out to Red Lobster the other night because I was having a major shrimp craving and our options are few and far between in the Midwest. Our server was a blast, was clearly on top of all of his tables, was affable, apologetic when something took a while, and was generally just really good at his…
Depends on the situation. If you're in a busy bar or club and you're paying with cash, the buck is probably fine - in fact, if the place is super-busy, getting a beer can be a nice mental break from remembering which young girl wanted the Cosmo and which one wanted Sex on the Beach and who wanted to do shots of Baby…
I worked the front desk at a hotel resort back many years ago. Mid 1980s so you probably could not do what I did to the most obnoxious customer I ever had. We were a resort with golf course, cabins, lodge rooms, pools and dining room. This family was never satisfied with anything. Always wanting a comp on…
Oh my god the last one gets me. I worked at a steakhouse outside Boston for 6 years while I was in school and then between jobs. I was known for being a Christian who really tried to practice an authentic faith where I loved and respected people and was never preachy.
Cat breeding always mildly surprises me. I mean, of course people breed cats and buy fancy cats. But part of me always thinks: Whaaaattt? Pay money for a cat? Just wait for spring and look for a sign that says "free kittens." That's how my dad always got cats, anyway.
Dog breeders are WEIRD. Well, all domestic animal breeders are a little off, but in this case the cat people are more sane than the dog people. That story doesn't surprise me a tiny bit. #notallbreeders, but a lot of animal breeders I know are kind of awful people. They have no verbal filter and will insult any animal…
The takeaway here is I really want a steak.
Rude to wait staff is at the top of my pet peeves list. No second date after that.
My friends and I refer to this as 'The Ick'. It is SUPER COMMON. I dunno the reasons for it, but amongst my group we have speculated that it can be:
Heh, yes. I get around the whole issue by generally avoid being in relationships in the first place. I'm a misanthrope who doesn't like a whole lot of people, I need a lot of personal time, and having someone else constantly in my space makes me absolutely crazy. Also, dating is a lot of goddamn work, and I'd almost…
My new stand mixer did make pizza dough even faster. So I guess we had pizza more often after marriage.
Here's a question: Does anyone get repulsion?
My first relationship (in high school) lasted four years, and since then the handful of boyfriends I've had have all lasted a matter of months. (Like, half a year at most.) I think for me it's a combo of being scared of commitment - so I either cut and run or pick guys who are unavailable in some fundamental way - and…
