I’m not saying it’s appropriate. But he’s clearly not well, likely suffering from dementia, and has no sense of boundaries anymore. I’d hold those around him in charge of his care more accountable. Time to stop putting him in these situations and let the matter, and hm, die.

1: Pizza is the best goddamned food on earth.

I work in a govt archives. When we charge fees for producing copies, people are judicious. When we have tried doing this for free everyone copies everything. It creates unnecessary stress on the records - literally inhibiting our ability to preserve them for the future. It also creates too much traffic at our copy…

Yes, parking is that crowded. At Rocky Mountain National Park it is borderline impossible to park near the trailheads of any of the major areas, so you park in a giant park-and-ride lot and wait for a cramped shuttle to ferry you from site to site.

I go to a lot of national and state parks, and they all charge a fee. Oftentimes, especially in the case of state parks, these fees are pretty small (ie. $5 per car).

No, that’s just an example of the charges. I believe all national parks have entry fees.

Each and everyone one of those parks are well worth the price of admission and then some.

I have been to about half of the parks you mention as subject to the increase and I have to say, $70 seems pretty damn reasonable to me. You can spend hours — easily a full day — at the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion, and I assume most if not all of the others, too. Watching the sun come up over Denali is about as…

Intensa Emozione? Come on, you’re not even trying now. I know it’s actual Italian, but it sounds like they just picked some kinda-italian sounding suffixes and ran with it.

At the time of the dunk the Mavs were getting blown out by 25 and it was comfortably in garbage time, but oh, Jordan Bell having a bit of fun is the point where the Mavs felt “disrespected.” Please. Don’t want Jordan Bell to style on you? Maybe don’t lose by 25.

The first time you have a blow out on an Interstate in a remote area, in the rain, on a long trip away from home and you’re still an hour away from your hotel and who knows how long from the nearest reputable tire place on a Sunday evening, you’ll wish you had a spare that let you at least drive at normal highway…

Re: Foo Fighters song choice - sometimes you just gotta go for the deep cuts. I just saw them at Cal Jam, and they played all the hits (which fucking rock), but my favorite song of the night was probably when they had Rick Astley come out for a kickass rendition of “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Sometimes you just need to…

Take the gig, be super professional and treat the technical folks and the tour manager respectfully, and you get on The List. Somebody needs a drummer they’re gonna ask around and maybe your name comes up. Nobody who matters judges a working musician for playing for a paycheck.

WTF, no opinion on diagonal staples? So much better, and less chance of tearing.

It will not open up any doors for you career-wise because who gives a shit that you toured with Limp Bizkit? But you have a chance, after all these years, to finally make it big. Do you take the gig?

Of course not. It’s a car.

lol’ed at the reporter at the end of the video repeatedly calling it a “dodger”

This reminds me of the time that someone scratched my rear quarter panel and didn’t leave a note. You might have heard about it on CNN breaking news? They had 24 hour coverage? Anderson Cooper cried so hard that he threw up on the air? I guess it’s not as big a news item as a Boxster being dinged, but still!

Nope, if you are that concerned about a fucking sauce packet, you’re an asshole. You don’t get to be furious at a restaurant for not giving you a packet of sauce.
