  1. I do a ton of domestic travel but hardly any international, so living in the Central time zone, it's pretty easy math no matter where I am. I can see the benefit for international travel though.
  2. Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I consider GMTness an automatic dealbreaker on a watch.
  3. Mrs. Doom turns fifty in the not-too-distant future. I have been nagging the boy about figuring out what he wants to get her (with the understanding that I would pay for it), and the other day, he finally had it figured out. He wanted to get her this exact pendant: I told him there was no way in hell I was going to spend $700 on that, and proposed getting something visually similar but in the range of $50 or less. In case it needs to be said, this is not Mrs. Doom's style. At all. It would never be worn outside the house. He got really upset with me, and was incensed that I would even suggest such a thing - "But it won't be real, Dad. It will be fake." So instead of agreeing to get her something he perceived as being too cheap and/or tacky, he decided that she would like a purple t-shirt that says, "this is what the mother of the world's best basketball player looks like". This was the closest thing we could find: But I secretly went ahead and ordered this for her as well.
  4. Relatedly, the Sherwin Williams logo never fails to bewilder me. Who wants anything even remotely similar to that???
  5. Fuck it - leave that shit for the octopi and cockroaches to eventually figure out how to use.
  6. Yeah, #TeamFBomb here too. I would unfriend someone if I ever saw that kind of shit on their LinkedIn. Fucking self-righteous lying bozo.
  7. You may want to call them first just to make sure your watch isn't too big.
  8. Snowfall is criminally underrated.
  9. I'm not your Buddy Town, Guy Town.
  10. I find many "good" smells (colognes, perfumes, floral scented garbage bags) even more unpleasant than smokerstench, but I used to smoke, so I probably have some degree of natural resistance to it. But I agree with you in principle, even if I personally don't feel the same way.
  11. Don't you mean steek? Or is it tweest?
  12. The apparent lack of any sort of buckle or clasping mechanism would annoy me.
  13. My sense of smell is more acute than I would like. It's definitely a curse, not a blessing. Most people, places, and things stink. Nevertheless, I find it absolutely incredible that as a society, we don't do a better job at discouraging the use (and especially the overuse) of cologne and other fragrances. It's as though because smells are invisible, we just give a free pass to all of the presumptuous fuckheads who bathe in odors after (or instead of actually) bathing. From a pure sensory perspective, it's no different than just bellowing out a loud shout non-stop, or walking around with a strobe light and putting it in strangers' faces. If I ever go postal, I will hunt by smell. In the meantime, you smelly fucks, yeah, I farted as close to your face as I could manage. Edit - to keep with the thread, it amuses me when people occasionally get these two threads mixed up.
  14. If someone started a campaign to have dozens of eggs delivered daily to the residents of those apartments, I bet a lot of people would chip in a few bucks.
  15. Well what kind of personality would you prefer an ass robot to have instead?
  16. I had the same reaction when reading that tweet, but it's just an unfortunate cropping of the full text, which is more graceful than it would otherwise appear.
  17. Well, un/fortunately, I've lost about 25-30 lbs. since that photo was taken, so the amusing geometry of my profile has evolved a bit.
  18. I encountered him at the restaurant in the Boston Four Seasons ten years ago.
  19. For a fun change of pace, you can change the lyrics "bark at the moon" to "fart on some boobs." Glad he was able to make the farewell concert.
  20. This is what Doomlet calls Mrs. Doom's homemade enchiladas.
  21. Username both does and does not check out.
