  1. This is incorrect. Light beer will always have a place. You even see some micro-breweries making light beers now. Bland tasting? Yeah that might slowly die off. But a cheap 30 rack is a godsend to the tailgater/BBQ-er who wants to share and doesn't want to be hungover by 2:00pm.
  2. Dude got put away for murder recently. Guess he got a taste and just couldn't look back.
  3. Women initiate 70% of divorces in the United States. It's estimated that 10% of us are wrong about who we think our biological father is.
  4. Hmm. I had to think about this one. I tend to use "bring" when I'm adding something to the situation, "I'm bringing potato salad to the cookout." I use "take" when I'm subtracting something from the situation, "I'm taking my leftover potato salad home from the cookout." "Bring to" vs. "take from." I wonder if there's an actual rule associated with that. Or maybe I'm wrong
  5. One of the areas where devout Christians have made strides in music (rather than simply "making rock and roll worse" as so eloquently stated by Hank Hill) is in the hardcore/metalcore/metal area. See Demon Hunter, Zao, August Burns Red, Extol, among others. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if some of these bands made the "devil's music" list on sound/imagery alone.
  6. So is it as good now as it was back then?
  7. Perhaps that's another similarity he and I have. He was awfully pale...
  8. Mahler was great. Bach was excellent as well. I'm a Liszt guy all the way though. Perhaps that's because he and I share traits like having large hands and being strikingly handsome
  9. Honestly I'd put McCartney over Lennon as far as composition goes. I realize we get three extra decades of McCartney work but still. But no, I can't say I can think of anyone in the modern genres that can compare to the great orchestral composers. But I also think it isn't a comparison that should be attempted.
  10. Stop confusing me with Rob's House. I'm not edumacated enough to be a law-yer.
  11. Why is it that when he starts a thread that's supposed to contain rants, @Joe in Winslow instead crafts the OP to be basically the same as a pet peeve thread? Does he not understand what a rant is? A rant is a goddamn tirade, an abusive, long, angry speech of criticism. But what does he give us? Some compact complaint about the morons that he works with, as if that's not a direct indictment of him as simply another representative of the same hiring pool. Double dumbass on him for not only the self-indictment, but also doubling down with an ill-titled thread. And the results of this ill-titled thread? Exactly ONE ***** RANT from ONE QUALITY POSTER. That's it. The rest of them I could cut and paste into the pet peeves thread, but I won't because they're shitposters. ***** you, Joe. *****. You.
  12. I wish I had thought of this before, but you need to leave a yelp review for the shop that simply reads, "this guy ran off with my wife." But give it like two stars.
  13. She "felt cute" in that outfit??? JFC how delusional can you get?
  14. Story about LBJ: During a press conference, a reporter called out to LBJ and asked him why the US was still in Vietnam. According to legend, LBJ undid his fly and pulled out his manhood, stating "THIS is why!" Supposedly LBJ was hung like a donkey and named his member "Jumbo."
  15. Equal rights, equal fights. My contribution:
  16. You have a strange understanding of the word "upgrade."
  17. I submit "Caught Up In You" by 38 Special. Fight me, nerds
  18. Yep. Often, the only way to de-escalate a situation is a demonstrate a superior level of force. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
  19. I've had that sort of experience. It's almost surreal. Feels kind of odd trying to describe it to people because it's so rare and unexpected.
  20. I feel shame when I'm out with someone and I see they don't tip well, and then I don't spend time with them anymore. This is not indicative of me being better than average, in the world I was raised in this is the average. It's expected. It's not tooting one's own horn to say that one pays a basic, expected societal courtesy that they should have been observing/learning from birth if their guardians had any social grace or semblance of pride.
  21. Gotcha. If gratuity is included in my bill I often don't add anything. I always tip whole numbers so those 10%-15%-20% options are generally useless to me. And as I stated above, I find it acceptable to dock a tip (heavily, even) when service is *****. I then never go back to that establishment. The two places I remember doing that at are now out of business.
