  1. There’s a pizza place by the house that will deliver a passable chicken parm for $12.  Throw in some calamari or a salad and you meet the delivery minimum.  It’s the definition of Cisco Italian food, but if the wife is out of town and you’ve been drinking too much it works.  I would rather do that than try the kfc version.

    How dafuq is his stake worth $3 bil?

    Could is an important word there.  I could fuck Margot Robbie this weekend.  There is a non-zero chance of it happening, as we are both alive and I could procure a cheap Spirit plane ticket to LA, hang out at a few Hollywood hotspots, and shoot my shot if I happened to find myself within 500 feet of her.  But probably not.

    Yeah. When I asked where they were eating. I wasn't being a dick. I figured they had something nice or different planned for the birthday. Like something special planned ..


    But. I guess the rooti tooti fresh and fruity was good enough

    That’s IHOP.  Denny’s is the Grand Slam.  I have nothing against Denny’s, I ate breakfast there every time I went fishing with my grandpa as a kid, and plenty of times at 3 a.m. later in life.  Denny’s has a space in the restaurant universe that it occupies well, but I ain’t spending 8 hours in a car with 3 kids to eat a grand slam.

    Reminds me of a picture I once saw about a camping trip to Yellowstone with an old open top car that had rows of seats like that. For some reason I thought it was Teddy Roosevelt 

    Pretty standard safari setup.  Spent a week in the bush in one of these.

    I absolutely blame Brisket for this, but when I am traveling I prefer to skip the fast food places and instead see what the local gas station has to offer. 

    The happy compromise is a Dairy Queen.  Dependable.  Reliable.  Better than an alsups burrito.  But if you find yourself in a town that isn’t big enough to keep a DQ in business,  the alsups burrito looks pretty fucking good.

    I’m sticking to my 750s of regular ass Elijah Craig and handles of EWBiB. It’s always on shelf, tastes good, and is well priced. I’m a simple man: I eat when I’m hungry, I drink when I drive.

    Aside from a few bottles I keep around for special occasions, if I’m having a drink before dinner on a Wednesday night, it’s EWBIB.  It used to be Weller or Antique, but that ship sailed a long time ago.

    My trips to Wendy’s are limited at this point to twice a year for a small Frosty but I always thought their chicken (sammy, strips, nugs) were better than the other FF places, including Whataburger. 

    And this is why I no longer go to Wendy’s.  I used to get a spicy chicken sandwich meal about once a week.  The fast food chicken sandwich landscape has changed a lot in the last 10-20 years.  CFA started it.  Popeyes finished it.  Both are closer to my house than the nearest Wendy’s.

    Yeah I'm not big on Detroit Style.

    For whatever reason I like Jet's though. 

    I don’t know if they still do this, or if it was location specific, but I worked near a Jets several years ago and they sold it by the slice for lunch.  2 slices was just the right amount of food for a midday snack.

    Woman Asks Fellow Passenger To Move From Business Class to Economy So She Can Move Her Husband Up

    "He's already heading this way!" the passenger recalls the woman telling him in a post shared on the subreddit, 'Entitled People'

    A Reddit user recounted a shocking request made of him by a fellow passenger.

    In a post shared on the Entitled People subreddit, the user canada11235813 recalled an incident in which the woman sitting next to him in business class asked him to voluntarily downgrade his seat so that she could sit next to her husband, who was seated in economy, in business.

    The original poster (OP) was on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver on an unnamed airline when he says the woman sitting next to him in a two-seat center pod configuration asked him if he'd mind switching seats with her husband so the couple could sit together.

    He said yes assuming that her husband was sitting somewhere else in business class, at which point the woman casually revealed that her husband's seat was actually 18B — a middle seat in economy.

    "You can't seriously expect me to swap a pod for a MIDDLE seat at the back of the bus. Are you kidding me?" OP recalled saying, adding that he kept looking around to see if he was being recorded for some kind of YouTube prank.

    Not only was she serious, she proceeded to throw a tantrum over OP's refusal, saying "But you said you would! He's already heading this way!"

    The woman, he says, had originally been seated in economy with her husband, but took a free upgrade when it was offered to her, apparently assuming someone would readily downgrade their seat so she could sit with her spouse.

    The OP said that if she could find someone in business class to switch with her husband, he'd move to any pod in the section so that they could sit together in the double pod. Or, she could sit with her husband back in economy.

    Seemingly unhappy with these options, he says, she replied, "But we both want to sit together up here!"

    Unable to facilitate either option because of the seating assignments, OP writes, she eventually sat down and traveled apart from her husband for the 5-hour flight.

    If the guy would’ve snapped, and I was on his jury, it would’ve been hung at least. There’s a way to get two adjoining business class tickets.  You purchase them both.
