My office switched to new copy paper and it's got "double the amount of recycled paper!" according to the package. It fucking sucks, feels like paper that got wet earlier in the day and is now 90% dry. 

Given that 2/3rds of all paper is already recycled, I find their math somewhat suspect. Must be aggy marketing gradjits.

Oddly enough, the "milk and bread before a blizzard" shit happens in the Midwest too.  We got a ton of snow last Saturday, and on Friday the grocery store in town was a fucking zoo.

It could snow two feet, and I could still walk up town to the grocery store in a matter of minutes.  Also, even the worst snow storms here result in the roads being plowed out within 24 hours.  If you're financially capable of stocking your home with food, how do you not already have enough of it to survive the next 24 hours, maximum?

Milk sandwiches are fucking awesome.

First mistake is going to fucking Starbucks, both McDs and Dunkin’ have just as good if not better coffee. 

This is so wrong and I'm really sick of hearing this nonsense. The best coffee is from a local shop that roasts in house (or sources from a real roaster usually local). McDs and Dunkin are just Folgers with a little more caffeine. It's thin and boring as fuck. Starbucks is somewhere in between. Miles ahead of McDs but not nearly as good as local strong coffee (or my preference an Americano).

Has Starbucks changed their coffee? Because when I tried it it tasted like crap. I drink it black and theirs tasted like chicory. I'd take Folgers or Maxwell House over that crap.

I don't drink it often (usually if I need a drive thru or if its convenient at a hotel) but the ones I've had have been pretty good and I don't recall any chicory blend. I've always enjoyed their blonde roast when it's available. Never my first choice but always preferable to fast food or folgersl.

Along with Chik-fil-A, Starbucks is as overrated.

Vic with the contrarian take. Not something you see every day. 

Something you also don't see everyday. Specifically pointing out my opinion when there were a few others who actually brought up said opinion before me. You do this all the time.

But fast food is serious business on here.

Chick-fil-A is fine.  Hate the "no Sunday" thing, because the place we stay in Ames for home games is right across the road and it always sounds awesome when I'm hungover after a day of tailgating.

@'stache is on point in the coffee discussion.  Starbuck's is overrated, but it's still pretty good and when you're travelling it's the kind of place you can find near the highway and it blows McDonald's out of the water.

Old people (like gray hairs - talking 70+) at movies that think they can make as much fucking noise as they want, leave and come back in the loudest way possible four times during the movie, hold an audible conversation at any point they feel like, bitch at Martha because "we're sitting in the wrong seats", drop a glass beer bottle 40 minutes in and just generally act like they are the only people in attendance. 

This is not all gray hairs - but it is an observed trend. I paid more for the ticket than you did, you probably see 3 movies a week because you have the time and expendable income to do so, so please act like an adult, shut the fuck up and be courteous to the rest of the theater. You aren't 13 fucking years old. I'll hold the door for you, I'll help you with your groceries, I'll let you cut me in line, but once the lights go down and the opening credits roll, please. For the love of God, please. Try to pretend like you're being quiet. 

/rant

This is one reason I will not go to Alamo DH or any other theater that serves all kinds of food (beer is ok).

Bad enough that I have to sit there and listen to some asshole with a tub of popcorn bigger than his head crunching that shit right behind me but someone eating nachos sends me over the edge.

I am starting a new line of movie houses with multiple rows that have headphone jacks that you can use.

Rent some or bring your on. Bluetooth also available.

It's like Popeye's doesn't exist...LOlz.

Popeye's used to be my go-to for ff fried chicken but the last few times I've been, it's really sucked.  Their spicy chicken used to be spicy, now....not so much.  Pieces are also scrawny AF.

I don't know if they backed off the spice to appeal to a wider demographic or not but I won't be going to anymore Popeye's anytime soon.  

Golden Chick w/ their Zing powder is my go-to now.

I’ll add the Popeyes around me must not obey the rules because I get the runs almost every time.

I hate when the trash collector puts my bin somewhere other than where I left it. I place it on the curb closest to where I will return it. They leave it on the opposite side of the driveway.

right in the center of driveway.

Hey motherfucker..we have to park before we retrieve our trashcans.  

Also: leaving them off the curb in the street. 1) it narrows the street by 4-6 feet if done on both sides and 2) put the sumbeech back where you found it, ya idgit.

People in Texas that wish they lived up north where it snows. That is a miserable existence that causes people with SAD to off themselves. Appreciate the fact that you can participate in outdoor activities in the middle of January.

I'm going skiing in the snow today.

How quaint.....  Hitting it for the last day in about 20 minutes.
