I’m so annoyed by the catch phrases that pop up randomly from time to time. I see that “virtue signaling” is now edging out “chef’s kiss” for the most annoying term.

Red should have been charging more. A 20% mark up they discussed as though it’s astronomical because of a specialty rock hammer.  Some dude has gotta go all the way into town go to a particular store to find a particular item and get it back and the cost is only a couple bucks? Then you see him having to pay everybody off along the line with packs of cigarettes and what not to hide the stuff in laundry.  Seems like even an ordinary item would have more than 20% markup in that world. Some specially one seems like you’ll be talking about 300% markup at least.

There is zero chance I am the only one who while in a teams meeting goes to LinkedIn to see what the women with no profile picture looks like. Yes, most of my company’s teams meetings are more like teleconferences and people don’t turn on their cameras.

You do know they immediately get an email telling them you’re checking out their profile, right?

If you haven’t already visited the /gentlemensboner (or whatever the actual name) subreddit. I suggest you close your office door, angle your screen away from your coworkers, or put down the deep fryer basket and visit it post haste. You will not be disappointed.

About once every few years I hit the "end" key on my keyboard (yes I made you look at your keyboard to see where it is) instead of the delete key.  It has to be in the top 3 of most useless keys on a keyboard. 

I use that key all the time.  “End” when I want to quickly move my cursor to the end of a line.  “Ctrl-end” to go to the end of the document.

I, too, enjoy Italian pornography.  They won a few wars back in the day using German engineers and Greek conscripts. 

There's food I like more and wine I like more, but their combo of food/wine is the greatest the world will ever know.  

 

New random thought:

My using the muscles in my jaw and mouth, I can manipulate the air in front of my face to download information for your mom to upload.

Haha I was gonna post this. You built yourself a nice creeper rep now.

The email just says someone viewed your profile. You need Premium to see who it was.

I haven’t had a sloppy joe in years. I’ve never had Manwich. My mom always made them from scratch. But out of curiosity I looked for Manwich at the grocery store today. I thought maybe I’d buy a can. Lay’s potato chips were even on sale and I’m a proponent of putting potato chips on a sloppy joe under the bun. I walked up and down both canned food aisles twice and they don’t have it.

 

The HEB brand of Sloppy Joes is much better than Manwich.

We don’t have HEB in these parts. I could ask my mom for her recipe or I’m sure I could find one online. I did pick up a can of Manwich at a different Giant Eagle store just to have it on hand. And I’ve got a bag of Lay’s potato chips to top the sloppy joe when the time comes. Without looking I imagine the recipe probably includes onions, ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Maybe a little garlic. I’m sure a pinch of cayenne wouldn’t hurt. I suppose there must be some tomato sauce involved to make it wet and sloppy.

You don’t order it. You just go in an pick it up.
Hot.
Fast.
And ready.

My 20-yo son has figured out a little Caesar’s hack.  Once a week or so they go in 5 minutes before closing and ask for the rest of the pies. LC is going to throw them away anyway, and half the time the manager will just give them to my son and his college buddies. Good life skill for a college kid.

30+ years ago, similar outcome late the night after the OU game. Buddies and I call the sketchy downtown Dallas Domino’s at 12:30 to order a pizza. They say “too late to order, we close at 1:00….but you can come on by and we probably have a pizza for you.” Buddy and I stagger over, arrive at 12:55. Door is locked. Drunk Brisket is pissed and betrayed. He bangs on the door till some poor schlub finally answers it - “what do you want?” “I want a goddamn pizza, you said there would be pizza if I came over, I have my $10!” Dude says hold on. He goes back in, can see him talking to the manager, both of their hands waving in universal “fuck it” gestures as they talked/argued.
Dude grabs 12 pizza boxes from the warming shelf, comes to the door. “So, is one of these mine?” “Man, these are pizzas that were ordered and never picked up. Take em and get the fuck out of here.” My jaw drops, I tipped the dude my $10, and returned to our hotel a triumphant warrior, bearing a dozen pizzas.
Top 5 moment of my life.

I recall hanging out in the Dobie lobby and buying pizza for half off from delivery drivers that had been stood up. Happened a few times and I started wondering if someone was doing this on purpose and hanging out in the lobby too to get it for half price, or if the pizza co was just sending drivers to the lobby with this story in order to sell more pizzas

We used to seriously fuck up the gattis buffet on far west. A hungover college dude can eat a shitload of pizza.

Gattis buffet was a staple of my childhood. There was also the pizza hut buffet just down the street on MLK. 

Rip.

Same. But the MLK location (rip). Also, the one on 1960 in Houston got hip to the group of kids coming in and one or two paying for buffets and everyone eating. So they wouldn’t let anyone that didn’t pay sit in the dining room. I think the MLK one started doing that too.
