there is no phrase during election that I despise more than "your hard-earned tax dollars"

I knew you'd come!

just more of my hard-earned tax dollars going towards people who don't want to work!

Another thing is that I think this post might be a little misleading - I think most of the chains have been set up in Detroit's wealthier suburbs. Not sure if they have a restaurant in the city, or if they do there's likely only one. Good for them, though! I can see this chain turning into the Midwest's In-N-Out…

Sometimes I think people rely on fast food not because they're being cheap, but because its familiar. Think about all of the times you've been on road trips and stopped at a drive-thru because you had no clue about local cuisine. Or in crappy rural towns like the one I grew up in, where Red Lobster was about the same…

I had the Bear Jew with a baseball bat as the background on my work computer for forever, until one day one of my coworkers saw it and was like "you know that's the guy who's responsible for Hostel, right?" :(

The only decent thing Eli Roth ever did was the Bear Jew.

A good friend of mine grew up in the Chicago upper crust (UChicago buildings named after them, etc) and by far the craziest story they have told me was when they went to their friend's birthday party as a kid and the friend's dad rented out the entire fucking american girl place and all of the kids got a doll as a…

WHOA. I remember when my mom decided to buy an *above ground* pool (working class kids get with me here) and my cousins and I were thrilled because this means that we could be mermaids!

I had an Aladdin doll that had a VERY CLEAR bulge compared to my Ken dolls. For years that is what I thought a penis looked like.

Yeah this was the first movie I ever saw in the theater, and my dad took me shortly after he and my mom separated, so fuck my inner critic forever

What do you do if you need these things in the middle of the night when the stores are closed?

Why not? They have the same right to vote as anyone else.

I think he's sexy, but I'm into that whole repressed thing.

And make sure no one is selling anything used (it happens)

I am so upset that this gif isn't further up on the page. The best.

I've lived in northwestern Michigan, southeastern Michigan, and a few global cities. Western Michigan is hands down one of the whitest places I've ever been. In terms of cultural offerings and ethnic diversity, Grand Rapids is Mayberry compared to Metro Detroit. I know we can split hairs over "the suburbs don't…

I'm guessing you haven't been to Detroit?

It's not just rural areas. I live in Chicago and have the same problem with Comcast.

I used to have a star here (I think Tracie followed me) and as soon as Kinja came along, down to the grays. I don't post here as much anymore but I'm an ungrayed poster on Gawker and Deadspin. Deadspin. I HAVE POSTED THERE ONCE.
