I am Jack's Cellphone

A screenshot from the Stanley Kubrick film "The Shining" showing Lloyd the bartender behind the bar of the Colorado Room as the Overlook Hotel after asking Jack Torrance what he would like to drink before being both praised and talked to in very loud tones as seen below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnzYWsdHEpM

Having worked in or related to the restaurant/bar industry for decades, this sounds relatively par for the course👍

A picture of an aisle in a Sheetz convenience store featuring PB+J "SAMMICH" products in both grape jelly (purple/yellow) & honey (brown/yellow) flavors; the shape of the sandwich is squared off rather than rounded as examples in the above complaint are.

This is what happens when you cut corners 👍

Requiescat in pace👍

A blue & white text street sign in Lorton Virginia with text as follows: (gray structural traffic sign arm on which it is attached; trees with green leaves in the background; gray overcast skies): <--- CHERWEK DR

Our Grandfather came to the US from Lietuva around the same timeframe & someone during the process decided there were too many damn letters in their name that they did not want to keep writing again & again on the forms. So, now there is a branch of the family tree that is easily distinguishable 👍

A copy of Robert A. Heinlein's novel "Starship Troopers" (Space marine on the cover; purplish mechanical background; white text held in my left hand in front of a bookcase with various other books in various genres

At least I knew this 1950's fiction was full of it from the get-go 👍

Who exactly do you think is the "Thought-Police" in this situation...? 👍

A medium brown leather suede jacket with lighter brown stripes on the upper arms & neckline hanging on the back of a white door; my left hand pulling the left sleeve across the front of the jacket

Generally not a jacket person, but I got this a couple years ago & it seems to garner instant attention every time I wear it. Not always a good thing, but it does make things interesting 👍

A National Bohemian beer ( white with Maryland colored accents, black yellow & red) with a yellow Jello shot in a clear plastic tub atop, on a darker brown wooden bar; my left hand in the foreground extending the Middle Finger of Endearment at the camera

Sorry, forgot you were Balmer, Hon 👍

A can of Pabst Blue Ribon beer (white, red & blue accents) with a red Jello shot in a clear plastic tub atop, on a darker brown wooden bar; lemons, limes, & mint stocked at the bar in the background; my left hand in the foreground extending the Middle Finger of Endearment at the camera

Scrambling the incentives of the party in power should be a goal of an effective opposition party...no? I mildly agree with his position here over yours; however, I am about to have Jello shots, which seems like a mildly more productive use of my Saturday afternoon at the moment (unfortunately!) 👍

👍

He did so a couple posts above that one 👍

A "setlist" on white paper in black marker from the sketch in the YouTube link posted above with text as follows: Set List 7/28 CRAP POOP PURE CRAP TRASH TOTAL CRAP CRUD MORE POOP GARBAGE EARLY CRAP POOP (ACOUSTIC) TURD

The "Set List" 👍

A screenshot from the Touch Tunes app (black background/white text) showing various local jukeboxes, mostly unavailable at local restaurants but available at the BMW dealership and the American Legion

So many options for music mayhem on a Saturday morning 👍

A mini yellow bell pepper held in my left hand; beige ceramic tile in the background along with partially seen medium brown kitchen cabinets

Yeah, but they look cute 👍

A picture of a "Thanksgiving Day Feast Pizza" from a Northern Virginia pizzeria featuring turkey, stuffing, & cranberry sauce on top of a very light sauce & cheese base sitting on a waiting rack area with a white sign above with red text as follows: TRY OUR NEW "THANKSGIVING FEAST PIZZA"

"It is not Thanksgiving yet, Sir..."👍

A little free library in Arlington VA (a nicely made free-standing oversized birdhouse looking structure painted blue with a shingled roof); various books in the background; my left hand in the left foreground holding a book titled "Wine for Dummies"

Across the river can be hit...or hit in a completely different way👍

A round plastic container of Buzzballz Chillers Biggies (15% ABV, 1.5L) in a mid-light-blue colored Berry Cherry Limeade flavor (white accents & text color), held in my left hand in front of a shelves of wine at a local Total Wine

My local place carries the regular 1.5L ones for $16.49. Not sure if that is more of less horrifying👍

A screenshot of posts on Twitter/X by Sarah Kogod regarding working with Matt Yglesias at Vox; text as follows: Sarah Kogod @SarahKogod Jan 6, 2021 Once justified his refusal to wash his own dishes in the shared work kitchen by explaining that his salary vs. the office assistant's hourly pay meant that it was more economical for our company to have her to wash his dishes than for him to do it. So ... x.com/mattyglesias/s... This post is unavailable. 206 3K 19K Sarah Kogod @SarahKogod Well this took off rather quickly. FWIW, this is true and happened in a group setting. The purpose was not to dunk, but to point out that the way some people view economics is directly tied to how they view humans. They aren't just takes - they really see the world this way. 1:37 PM Jan 6, 2021

He means that he got criticized for being a sh*tty co-worker and left the publication he worked at, i.e. "Bari Weiss Canceled"👍

A picture of a pimento stuffed green olives, cheese, peanut butter, spinach & mayo sandwich on a white plate held in my left hand in front of a black table with two Washington Commanders themed Bud Lights in the background

Pimento stuffed green olive, cheese, peanut butter, spinach & mayo sandwich count...? 👍

A crockpot (silver & black) on a white marble countertop, the lid off held in my left hand, a split pea stew cooking within and about a half of a box of cheddar & pretzel combo flavored Goldfish crackers on top with a black plastic spoon to the right side

Is that a challenge...? 👍

An egg mixture (yellow) with sliced hotdogs (reddish-brown) semi-cooked in a waffle maker (silver w/ black gridle) spilling over onto the white countertop below it

A large beige bowl full of more orange Goldfish crackers than Ramen; a pair of black chopsticks laying in the bowl; a large box of cheddar Goldfish crackers to the top left; a can pf Busch Light to thee top right; all on top of a white marble countertop

Adding so many crackers to soup that it ceases to be what could reasonably be called "soup" 👍
