I tried to hire these guys for a project, but every time they took a measurement, something changed.

If this turns out to be for a new crypto called Josscoin, I'm going to ki…who am I kidding? I'll buy any damn thing Summer Glau or Morena Baccaron try to sell me

I worked in and wrote about restaurants like his for years and I have never once seen a chef in whites in public unless they were cooking (or, more likely, pretending to cook) at some charity thing. This is so fucking funny

That's what the guy who came up with New Coke said

I need to start making a list of the posts like these that I learn about a major news event from, but require a minute or two of scrolling to actually figure out.

Oh no it's going to be much, much worse. Like someone ruptures a newly discovered tendon in his wrist in such a way they name the tendon after him, causing him to miss a dribbler up the middle and lose a play-in game for the wild card after being in 1st 3 weeks earlier.

It's the kind of burger you put on an after midnight menu at a hip cocktail bar in 2013.

I am so excited for all the ways these boys will break my heart this year.

Does Tommy think chef whites are military dress? The fuck is he doing dressed like this? Does he have a fencing bout immediately after the meeting?

You know what? Both Mardi Gras and Purim are about dressing up and getting fucked up, so sure, why not?

My grandpa had a chocolate company. Grandad ran a peanut roaster.
You'll never guess what happened next.

Are you an international legal body? Because only their definitions would matter here.

Just spotted a headline - the article behind a paywall - that nonetheless pleased me: "I'm a longevity doctor. This is why I'll never give up alcohol."

"Due to space limitations, this event is invite only."
The room fits 600 people. They could have held a public lottery for tickets. They just don't want anyone asking questions other than the ones on their cards

There's this bridge on an island just east of Martha's Vineyard that would be more appropriate…

Against my better judgment, I tried the Big Arch, and it's actually good. If you put it in a Smashburger / Shake Shack type packaging, I'd believe it came from one of those places. It doesn't taste very McDonald's-y. It's too big, though, both too much food and unwieldy. Give me a Mid-sized Arch.

I brought over a misdelivered Cologuard box to the right address and rang the call box because I didn't want to leave it on the sidewalk. I'm obviously not a delivery guy so I explained what happened and the guy came and got it.

Can't decide if it was wrong or nice of me that I wished him good luck

The rate at which spirits companies are basically eliminating entire tiers of marketing is going to make cocktails worse, because becoming a high level brand rep is viewed as an end-point/off-ramp for career bartenders, thus something to reach for for newbies

I should try to spend a day or ten with them to better understand how they're sourcing and maintaining a consistent product. Fascinating if they're pulling it off

Emoluments, perfidy, Humphrey's Executive. These aren't concepts normal people should need to know.

A filter that blocked everyone with "blue" in their username would probably not catch many strays. Sorry to diehard Blue Jays and St Louis hockey fans

Sorry, I meant to type "national" record. He actually had kind of a weird record as mayor, but for reasons beyond my understanding, that didn't really follow him as he became a national curiosity

I skipped taking courses in entire departments because after my first semester I knew I had to find classes that didn't depend on blue books. I can't read my own writing after an hour

If I had more characters I was going to describe them as "like tiny, crunchy Samoas without the chocolate" and LOL I would have been correct. 18% of daily saturated fat!

Shit. Samoas are 30%. I have a physical today that apparently I should have scheduled before Girl Scout Cookies season.

Honestly kinda impressed with my memory on that one. It's been at least 32 years since I've had the stuff. Can't tell you a damn thing about calculus, and I last used that stuff "only" 20 years ago

That's it! LOL and a serving (basically a large handful) has 39% of the USRDA maximum for added sugars. They still make it, too
