  1. I dont know if the Jordan dad gambling one is entirely harmless, but whatever. 
    My favorite is Flat Earthers. It’s so hilariously untrue that I would watch hours of TV about them. 
    It's hard to imagine how dumb you'd have to be to believe the Earth was flat. Incomprehensible.
  2. This describes my brother. It's impossible for him to have a conversation without something circling back to the government. Once you're in that spiral you can't even exist anymore without making ridiculous links between things that have nothing to do with each other.

  3. I have found that my success rate on pulling a stitched bag top the right way is about the same as my success rate in putting a USB stick into a port right side up. Close to 0%.
    I opened a stitched bag of dog food first try yesterday. Couldn't believe it. One of the best days of my life.

  4. The postseason is over and the Astros won it all already? Wow that’s news to me. Congrats guys. Definitely not dropping the ball before crossing the goal line with this one. 
    You are literally the dumbest fucking poster on this entire board. Congrats...I guess.

  5. Saw this thread bumped. Made an Old Fashioned.

    OK, I'm resurrecting this thread, because it deserves it.  After years of drinking bourbon neat or on the rocks, I have transitioned almost exclusively to OF's with the occasional Manhattan thrown in for variety.  Consistently better with rye over bourbon, and I don't see the need to pay a premium for the brown water when mixing it up.  I have been gravitating to Wild Turkey 101 Rye and Rittenhouse mostly, but Bulleit is no slouch either.
    I'm lazy (and probably heading towards scurvy), so instead of the orange peel I will do a couple of dashes of regular bitters (normally Angostura, but the last time I went to buy some they were out and I bought a cheaper "Old Fashioned" bitters and it does the trick - I'll track down the brand later if anyone cares) and two dashes of orange bitters.  Make my own simple syrup out of turbinado sugar.  Generous pours of rye.  Never disappoints.
    I'm sure I could have something that was a twinge tastier with rye at double the price and the actually expressed orange peel, but these are quick, easy and help me forget about my day.  Mission accomplished.
    I'm open to suggestions, but the quick and easy portions of the equation will likely not go away.  Fire away, Surly!
    I also use the orange bitters when I have no oranges. Not the same, but better than nothing.
  6. We stood in the line there once because we were passing through. It was very good and glad we tried it, but an hour plus wait is really difficult for me to justify.

    How long until we see the menus change to pricing brisket by the quarter pound?


  7. Fucking hell. Reminds me of the phone I found on the ground walking to Q2 - it was locked. I figured someone would get smart and call the number, so I could answer and tell them where to meet up to get it. Nope. Never happened. Her friends sent it like 5,000 texts…which I couldn’t respond to (locked screen). NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM CALLED THE PHONE, WHICH I COULD HAVE ANSWERED. I eventually just handed it to lost and found, because fuck it and fuck stupid people.
    Literally the first thing any normal human being does when a phone is lost is have someone call it. Idiots.
  8. I'll give the other side of this coin that is my pet peeve. People showing up on meetings and then being dead silent, multitasking and doing other things, and not engaging in any sort of social small talk or niceties. It's basic human behavior to smile and fake like you are enjoying yourself, you would have to do it in person, but when you can just mute and scroll on your phone and not pay attention, it kills the vibes and is just constantly awkward. 
    I'm referencing people who are disrupting the flow of the meeting so we can listen to their jokes because they can't help themselves. Half of the people in the room are scrolling their phones or typing away on their laptops. All of this leads me to believe the meetings really aren't all that necessary or productive.

  9. Honestly, if I didn’t have a family depending on me, I would have yesterday. I made very poor choice returning to this fucking place.
    If I didn't have a family depending on me I'd probably be driving a forklift at a brewery. I don't want to be old, but I can't wait to be done with this bullshit. Amazes me that some people actually enjoy it.

  10. This makes me even more ragey.  There is no such thing.  If it was complimentary, there would be no tip.  What's that?  Oh there is no other option to park besides valet?  Well thanks for forcing me into your tip scam.
    Valet pisses me off in general. It has its place, but not at a normal restaurant with plenty of parking available. Yes let me pay you to park my car two spots over from where I can park myself for free. I'll avoid eating somewhere that is valet only because fuck them.

  11. Grocery store baggers that put everything into 2 bags weighing 45 pounds each and handing back 2 empty bags like they’re doing me a favor.
    It was never like this until the past 6 months. Maybe I should ask to speak to the manager. 
    I like when they toss the raw meat in with the fruits and vegetables.

  12. Disney bumping the D+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle to $18.99 starting 10/12. Streaming price hikes keep coming.
    Didn't they just fucking increase this? Like this month?

    Edit: Nevermind, it was this increase. Looks like the last hike was less than a year ago. All of it is getting out of hand and I'll cancel it all and not give a single fuck.
  13. Unscheduled teams calls can fuck right off. Just pick up the phone like a normal person- you don’t need video for this conversation 
    Also this. I usually just send them a message to call me on my phone.
  14. People who aren't funny, but feel like they have to crack jokes in every meeting. There's a time to lighten the mood and there's a time to shut the fuck up so we can get to the point and leave.
