I need to start a list. Not there is is anything is in the works, I just know I'm not going to remember who is awful.

i never use an umbrella or anything, because my jackets always have hoods.

The one thing I have contemplated but can't bring myself to actually purchase are these:



They're rubber overshoes to put over your dress shoes.

I'm certainly not going to wear boots or other shoes and bring my dress shoes, but navigating the 8 inch deep slush puddles of Boston sucks.

Yeah, my Dad used to wear those.

This is NOT an endorsement.

Lol. Make sure the stable boy doesn't beat your horse, gramps.

Edit: How do you get those shoe jimmiehats off without getting slush and crap on you?

I'm watching US Men's curling that I TiVO'd, and early in the broadcast they say that the team captain is getting married and the #2 on the team is his best man. OK, they're friends, they share a passion - curling, I mean - whatever, not that weird. Then, a bit later, the announcer says something about two of the teammates being roommates, and in the next sentence says that three of the four live together. OK, not unheard of, but these are late-20s guys. Maybe they spend all their money on curling shoes and so can't afford to live in their own place. THEN the announcer says that, in their place in MN, it's the captain and his fiance in one bedroom, and then two other teammates in the other bedroom. In a bunk bed.

Two grown men bunking together with a third guy and his wife is pretty weird, even for MN, right? Is there any way this isn't a bunk bed like I'm imagining? Do they make queen-size bunks?

i happened to be watching HBO's real sports on the men's curling team, and they went to this place. it is absolutely a bunk bed in the traditional sense.

Yeah, the "sharks" on Shark Tank basically laughed the guy out of the room.

New Admin Color, ldo.

2 things.

Why does a different server often bring your entree at a restaurant?

Why do some audio book companies not put those messages or music at the end of a DVD or tape? This pisses me off when I zone out for 90 seconds and don't notice and then I can't tell if I'm having some sort of de ja vue episode.

The first is because in most restaurants there is someone called an expediter who assembles the trays that are to go out, makes sure everything looks right. They will often bring your food out, or alternately, get another server to run (it's called "running" btw) the food to your table, in the event that your server is too busy. In a lot of restaurants it's just policy that if food is sending in the window, you run it, whether or not it's for one of your tables.

TY. I never knew but always wondered.

I agree with Dids quite passionately on the umbrella debate - one of my pet hates.

one of dids's other hates is randoms, though, so i don't know how he'll feel about you agreeing with him

Prove it by banning some greens, yo.

niiice

Oh baby, oh baby.

One of my real loves is affirmation though- so I'm ok with it.

I hooked the **** up out of dinner tonight.

Chicken breast in an egg wash coated with panko and then baked. Served with a sauce made by reducing orange juice with a bit of sugar, fresh ginger, lemon zest and juice, and a touch of honey.

Some sauteed asparagus with lots of butter. Good stuff.

It was good, imo.

Eggs last way past those dates. (On second thought, maybe those dates are more reasonable if you don't refrigerate the eggs.)

Though this happens less at nicer restaurants where they value continuity more.

You are outing my frequency of Applebee's and Red Lobster right now.

So is it common knowledge(for oot) that Roger Ebert lost his jaw 4 years ago to cancer?
