    Dude, you could have just used any other title and been an original with it. Now it's like "welp, i guess i won't be doing that."

    Also, @WinningIsHard , I trend way more directionally to sociopathic than narcissistic. Get a grip on proper use of overkilled buzzwords that you've adopted from social media.

    hey at least he didn't steal "ball gargling" from you.

    I think the biggest thing that pissed me off was the fucking rules for drinks. I bought an unlimited beverage package, and yet I can't order a double unless I have my wife's fucking ship card as well, becuase only one drink per person every 15 minutes. Listen motherfucker, give me a fucking bottle of wine to take back to my fucking stateroom, I paid for that fucking shit.

  3. I go straight to the cooler wrapped in a towel.  Not saying that is the optimal method but honestly I've never considered resting on the counter and then going to the cooler.

    Will be interested to hear what others are doing.

  4. Dude, you fucked this up the instant you mentioned it to your wife.

    Whatever you do now, can't right the ship but ...

    If hookers and blow are really off the table you could:

    1. procure a selection of custom-made hatchets

    2. have a baller weekend in Vegas

    3. bet it all on black

    4. buy all the tickets in an outfield section at a baseball game

    5. get it in $1s and stuff a mattress with it

    6. give it to me ( I won't tell my wife and will fully document how I properly waste it via liveposting on Surly)

    you get the point

  5. two tangents to this are:

    1. Hotel, restaurant or club who adds a "service fee" and then points out that it is NOT a tip or gratuity.  WTF is it then?  Who gets that $$

    2. Pizza places that add a "delivery fee" but make sure to say that it does not go to the driver, etc.  OK... same questions as above!!

  6. I wonder if somewhere along the way (maybe when they sold the restaurants) in the Touhy's estate planning it somehow became more obvious to Oher that he was NOT getting a "child's" portion of the general family inheritance.  I could see a scenario where he really did feel like part of the family (as he indicated in the passage from the earlier book) and the Touhy's continued to put him in the Christmas card photos, etc. to the point where he thought he was going to get 1/3 in the mom and dad's wills but ultimately realized he was getting the "conservatorship" portion instead of lining up next to Collins and SJ for the gravy train to unload; that he may have started looking for a way to "get his" and that lawyers may have encouraged this action as a means (potentially misguided based on the information that is coming to light) to that end.

    Either way, somebody is not being truthful and I bet he's not in this year's Christmas card photo.

  7. So, Oher's agent was a close friend of the Touhys and the person who filed the Conservatorship petition and then never informed her client (Oher) that it might be worthwhile to look into the royalties related to the book / movie deals.  That sounds like legal malpractice.  Ladies & Gents, I think Mr. Oher might be about to put the whole system on trial.

    For real, that seems shady AF.

  8. Watched it over the weekend.  Agree with whoever said it seems like they had a deadline to meet so they just turned in whatever they were through with instead of making sure they had a story worth telling.

    Was surprised by the 'honesty' from his dad when answering the question regarding whether this story had a happy ending (however it was phrased) when he said, "I don't know, I think it is too early to tell"  Based on what I saw I'd say it's 70/30 there's a future meltdown coming when whatever money he still has runs low.

    I bet the new bar is someone giving him a chunk of money to use his name and a promise from him to post up there on a few game days a season for a year or two. What could go wrong?!?

    I was also surprised that he and Uncle Nate never reconciled.  In the big scheme of things Nate didn't seem to be a bad influence on an otherwise saintly Manziel and I would suspect actually took some heat off him while looking out for him in the way that a 20-year-old friend would.

    It was worth an hour that I would otherwise have just been scrolling through Surly or watching pre-season football, but certainly not award winning.

  9. Nice of you to not want to put them through any unnecessary trauma.

    Hopefully, this incident has taught you to always leave a note in case of unforseen circumstances...

    Told the bride about this thread.  She says that she's always been unashamedly on "Team No Tip" for any counter service places (with a smile, of course).

    She's always been agreeable to "Team Just the Tip" with me. Definitely a big smile, which is nice. 😀

    Every time I turn around there's another disaster that needs funding.  I feel for those people, but man... I'm tapped out.

    Not every cause is for everybody.  Even if you are moved by the cause the time might not be right for you.  Give generously when you can, but don't feel guilty if the time is not right.

  12. @Baboontyme any updates?  News footage of people sleeping on the floor at the airport in Maui surrounded by water bottles and mountain dew cans.  I didn't see any Michigan State green so I am hoping you and the family got on your flights to Arizona.
