You ruined my life...

Dan Patrick - I too, refer to Tony Homo as, wait, Tony Romo, as... Good Job Dan. Unfortunately, Jesse, myself and 1 person who posted a video on youtube, seemed to notice.

If you let one rip, you're supposed to call safety...

Apparently, if you leave macaroni in a pot of boiling water to the point of the water evaporating completely, mix in the cheese packet, 4ishT margarine, 1/4 1% milk and a bit of fresh parm, mac and cheese will taste like crack. Not real crack, but that damn good eats type of crack.

Irish Rogue is no longer The Irish Rogue. Or is it? http://www.theirishrogue.com/
Now known as Harley's SmokeShack.
I do like BBQ, but
If the whole bar wants the music off to listen to game 5 of the ALDS, you should cater to your customers.

Termination of Relationships

It has come time to end several relationships in my life...

1st, I will be saying good by to Cheez-it's. I love you, you're great, but you're not really right for me anymore.  As great as that taste is, the stomach aftermath, not so much. Honestly, you're clogging my arteries. We had a great few year run, you made gold fish taste mediocre. But, you've got to go. So as of 1/1/11, good bye. 

2nd, This is a tough one, you surprised me time and time again, but Genesee Cream Ale, you're time is over. You were great to have around once a year or so, but now that I have you in my fridge, I just want you gone. I'll give you till the end of the year to make your case, but I doubt you will. Goodbye to the 7 and a half year relationship.

BOOBS

Why Hoboken is NOT "like the 6th Borough"

1. It's located in New Jersey

2. The MTA does not service Hoboken

3. Yellow cabs can refuse to take you to Hoboken because it's not one of the 5 Boroughs. If it were, then the yellow cab would Have to take you there.

4. see # 1

on a side note, Brooklyn & Queens are both located on Long Island. So if you are from there, you are also from Long Island, sorry.

MTA SUCKS BALLS

It really sucks that the MTA workers can "strike" and drive the MTA in to debt, but if the people who actually ride the MTA were to say "fuck you," and not ride the train for several days +, it'd just drive up the cost of a ride that much quicker. Fuck you MTA workers, fuck you. And also, the strike led to a shit ton of layoffs, good call assholes. Good call.

Further, it's great that the guys working on the tracks that are not in service spend half there time waiting for a train to get to where they need to work. Stellar planning, stellar.

So in 4 years since the strike, we now have less train service, fewer workers that barely make more than before. Who didn't get fucked but those with more years in the Union?

FU, FU

Clothing Sizes

Girls I'm sure will go crazy over the bs they have to deal with, but when a one gap 34" belt is an inch longer than another 34" inch gap belt, i'd say something is up. Guys sizes are in inches, how is it possible for one 15.5 neck to be bigger than a 16.5 neck size? How the heal are 34" size jeans smaller than 33" jeans. What the fuck is going on in the clothing industry? Yeah, Small, Medium, Large, i can semi understand screwing that up across the board, but if you have a "size chart" link on a website, you should probably make sure that the sizing is actually accurate. like measure it, then write down the right size. Guys clothing is measured in inches. I can't, I just can't even come up with a rationalization to the damn things not measuring out correctly. Forget the "shrinkage" factor, that doesn't explain things before they are washed even once. ugh

Sorry you & I don't know what you were charged for, but it's non-refundable

found 2 bogus charges on my bank account today. One vendor couldn't even tell me what the charge was for and referred me to another customer service phone number. Then that person could only tell me but that it was "some" free trial I supposedly signed up for when I placed a separate online order(I didn't buy anything online that week) and it was non-refundable. 3 Customer Service representative's and lot's of yelling/cursing later and threats of Better Business Bureau & Bank action against there company and they were able to miraculously cut through the red tape and refund me. Woosa.
