Back in undergrad, my friends and I went to the lcoation in Sikeston a few times. The food was good to folks who have been away from home cookin’, and the rolls were thrown fresh out of the oven. Burns from those hot buns I would believe, but anything worse just doesn’t sound credible.

Companies pay state unemployment for the right to hire workers in that state. You aren’t sucking anyone’s teat when you accept UI benefits. And companies will fight your application if they think you don’t deserve it.

It’s not about being honest or dishonest, it is about protecting your interest. My employer who let…

Wow - fun article. I played in high school and at Washington University. You dismissed the high school experience, but it ruined me for college. Not just because HS Quiz Bowl is a bit easier - but because in the Tri-State area of IA/IL/MO we had the Quincy University Academic Challenge. This HS tournament was…

It’s tough reading your articles Katie, not because you are wrong, but because based on my observation and experience I still believe fraternity life has a lot to offer young people in school and beyond. I am a black man who joined TKE in the late nineties. TKE nationwide is considered a “white” fraternity, but I was…

I only make friends with the driver if I want him to be my regular driver. Back when I traveled to Chicago all the time for work, I had a driver that I was pretty loyal to. I know an Uber driver that has a few regulars, and they toss him game tickets every now and again.

Bourbon can be produced anywhere in America. Colorado makes some lovely bourbons.

I knew a blonde swinger in ATL. A perfectly lovely body, but the face of a female crypt keeper.

Every Superman movie except Man of Steel. Superman sucks.

Katie Couric < Sarah Spain? She has come a long way since trading dates for Super Bowl tickets on MySpace...

Colin Cowherd is sports radio's David Duke.

I lost my job in the fall of 2010, just as the overall economy came crashing. I made great money and spent it with great abandon, so that year of want before I went to grad school was difficult. My home computer at the time was years old and on its last legs, and I needed a new one to just open attachments or…

Only zealots (like me) only spend five minutes at the gas pump. I can drive from Denver Metro to Kansas City, MO in 8hrs flat, including stops. Most people who have the wherewithal to own a Tesla ($$, need for large sedan, home w/garage to house and charge it) are gonna have a wife and kids, or time. Bathroom breaks,…

I happened to be in Oslo on the 1 year anniversary of the Breivik massacre. The Norwegians made a point of having an African looking Norwegian woman as the MC. And she was gorgeous and spectacular.

I lived in Norway for a summer, and while Frozen is a Disneyfied bastardized version of an amalgamation of various Norwegian landmarks - it still made me feel wistful. Frozen is my favorite animated Disney film.

you are going to hell. +1

As soon as he mentioned the dog, I knew. Dogs and chocolate DO NOT MIX.

No no no... Yes. +1

I lived in Norway for one summer for a graduate internship, and I still have many friends there. The biggest thing that struck me about dating and the social scene is how many lovely Norwegian women are perfectly comfortable walking home alone after dark. Even in the face of "nighttime rapes," these women still walk…

This is the same reason why Americans won't be able to get Cuban Cohibas even after Congress lifts the embargo. The folks out of the DR own the Cohiba name in the US. Same for Havana Club rum.

Umm, I had a boss TOTALLY tell me I was overpaid. Nevermind that I was technically underpaid, since the position I was in was rated to pay WAY more then the one I was in before. Then of course he followed that up with the "a monkey could do this job." The problem wasn't the job - we sold food that people regularly…
