It’s not really all that surprising that nude photographs would be required to work in a club inspired by/affiliated with a skin mag, though. Although publishing her pictures as payback was lame.

In my current hometown, there was a transgender woman who served as a city council member (as a man) in the 1970s, then served as deputy mayor after she transitioned. Pretty cool stuff. She has now retired from public life.

If tomorrow all my things were gone

I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know my cheddar biscuits will be free. And I won't forget the men who died, so I can bitch about automatic gratuity.

Your position here confuses me. Your entire post rails against tradition and assumptions that things must be done a particular way for a wedding to be a proper one. It seems odd that it's just this one thing, the expectation that guests at a wedding will give gifts of some financial value at all, that should be taken…

You can think I'm an idiot all you want, but I'm not donating to your honeyfund. If that's the only option, your wedding gift is going to be a card.

If only there was an organization that looked out for Italian Americans, that could advocate on her behalf, that could negotiate with the museum, maybe make them an offer that they perhaps might have a hard time refusing.

The older you get the more tedious and terrible meeting strange new people for the purpose of dating seems to get. You begin to wonder if all the sane and non-terrible people already got together and why you were left out. Are you not sane as well as terrible? Eventually you'll run into enough crazies and terrible…

Want to know the real deal breaker? It's not being a slob, it's not being ugly, it's not being a jerk.

we have a standing toilet paper delivery order with Amazon. Works great!

I have it, too. There is nothing worse (okay, there are lots of worse things) than needing toilet paper at an hour or moment when it's not really possible to get some. There are solutions, but they aren't always pleasant ones. I always have 2-3 extra rolls stashed in my bedroom (I live in a shared apartment), just…

Goddammit do you have a room to rent?

I've noticed that Chinese restaurants, likely because they're largely family owned, demonstrably show their appreciation to frequent customers. Free egg rolls soups and whatnot, sometimes even some stuff the chef whipped up that's not on the menu. This is very good, because Chinese food is one of my favorite types…

I'm just glad you said Hot Dish. If you'd said "casserole," I'd have to sneer and call you uppity behind your back.

Hey, Midwesterners have a hard lot. They have to deal with people occasionally saying mean things about Hot Dish. Truly, it is the harshest oppression.

I have to say that in my many years of food service, there were times when I permitted food treated with less than stellar hygiene to be served to customers that were dicks to me. I never spat in anyone's food (or used any other bodily fluids) or rubbed it on my genitals or adulterated it with non-edible things, but…

Oh for sure. Complaining just means I have to wait while my food gets remade or whatever. Also, after living in several countries with less than strict health codes I figure whether I know it or not, I've eaten worse.

Makes for a robust immune system, I say!

Those ungrateful Poors. Obviously wasting money they clearly don't deserve.
