Did you know that some "raspberry" products are artificially made with castoreum, which is derived from beavers?
Or worse, when those divorced couples use their children as live ammo and throw them into the middle of it (like trying to take away custody, calling CPS, etc. just to screw with the other person). Often times, these kids are in preschool or early elementary, and not only is using them like that the most awful of asshole moves for the couples involved, but it absolutely fucking wrecks the children. But the adults don't care, so long as they are "getting even." Two people in a fucked up relationship isn't all that terrible comparatively. If it's two people in a fucked up marriage without kids I kinda feel bad if one partner is on the victim end of it. Crazy divorces are just cold-hearted (you're already leaving a person, why take their hopes and dreams too?). Nasty divorce using kids as described above though is the bottom of the barrel far as I'm concerned... It really is a sliding scale of fucked-upness. But at the same time, it's morbidly-cool to hear these stories, because it reminds me that despite my minor grievances are just that, and that life could be a whole hell of a lot worse. Kinda like why we watch reality tv I guess. "Well, I may be crazy, but at least I'm not THAT crazy!"
Corned Beef is basically ham made from beef. God bless whomever invented it. Just think about how much corned beef you could buy for the price of a ring. Life would be amazing.
Totally confused by the use of whore here, since she doesn't really like sex and doesn't suck dick. Did you just mean she's a simple bitch? Because simple bitch applies much better. Whore makes me think she's fucking around with other dudes, and that's why she's not touching him.
Seconded. Frebis you sound like you are either stoned, starving, in the middle of eating corned beef hash, or any combination of those. It's good stuff, but that's a lot of corned beef hash.
I am indeed eating corned beef and cabbage. There are also some onions, potatoes and carrots. So delicious.
I am not. I catch a flight at 6:00 am on Tuesday mornings, which means I have to get up around 4am. No beer. Just water. I am the definition of lame.
I ordered the "Woody Allen" at the Carnegie Deli and basically it was two slices of bread with two pounds of corned beef and pastrami. I got through 1/2 of it and just started feeling.......gross.
Surprised the Woody Allen isn't some kind of Chinese stir fry. No, really, why name a 2 pound corned beef sandwich after a skinny Jew? In other corned beef news, there is little more sublime than a corned beef sandwich on rye slathered in mustard and horseradish. My St Patrick's night consisted of a Guinness Stew with a side of colcannon (mashed potatoes and cabbage), with a glass of Guinness, finished off with strawberries in a chocolate Guinness sauce. Notice the pattern? Also, Guinness in the can is still sweet nectar. Stay away from the bottles, people.
I'm late to the engagement ring conversation, but I used to run a pawn shop and I would absolutely recommend it for an engagement ring. Engagement rings are like cars. You lose like half of the value the minute you walk out of the store. Figure it like this: Not a lot of people buy engagement rings from pawn shops, so there is usually a pretty good chance you will get a good deal. A lot of shops will scrap engagement rings if they don't sell within a certain period of time. My suggestion would be to find out the cut of stone and color that she wants, as well as the type of metal she wants the setting made out of. Find the right stone on an engagement ring and offer 40% of the price in cash. Chances are good that they will make the deal. I wouldn't pay more than 60% unless it's an exceptional stone. If it's a reputable pawn shop, they should be willing to take it to a jeweler to be verified and/or graded, whether you do it or they do. I would then ask that same jeweler to polish the stone and make a new setting. Chances are, the setting you have will offset a good deal of the price. Non related topic: I was watching a Ron White comedy special and found out there is a show on CMT called Guntucky. Not only that, it's in its second season. http://www.cmt.com/show/guntucky/series.jhtml
I don't like corned beef unless it is in hash form from a can. So that's what I had tonight: Breakfast for dinner. Corned beef hash fried up in a skillet, two eggs over easy, and toasted guinness bread. Washed down with a screwdriver. I pretty much stuffed myself to the gills but I deserved it for the shitty day I had. Ahhhh.
Everyone stop saying 3 months salary. It's not 3 months, it's never been three months. It's two months. Not that that is much better, I guess. But It' like tipping. 15% used to be the norm. Now somehow it's been morphed to 20%, and people are just agreeing to it. Luckily, my girl says she has a family ring that we'll probably use when we get engaged. So I'll pay to have it polished and resized if necessary, but that should be it. And she already got me a $10 titanium ring that I really like, there's no need for an actual precious metal one. I'll get this one engraved with our wedding date, and it's all set. Girls that obsess over the price of the ring rather than the sentiment behind it are not the girls for me, is all I'm saying.
I don't know what it is, but somehow when tipping gets brought up people get really emotional. Everyone who has ever worked as a waiter/waitress acts like it's the hardest job on the planet. What's even more hilarious to me, is that the tip is supposed to reflect the level of service you received, yet it's taboo to not give the person waiting on you the full 15 or 20% unless they are basically actively trying to sabotage your meal. Not gonna lie, that's the way I do it, because I feel like a cheapskate if I don't give someone 20% even if they provide mediocre at best service.
Apparently 34 year old divorced mother of two is cool with fucking me in the bathroom of a bar, but not in my car. What kind of world is this? The worst part? I turned down the bathroom sex thinking that she would be cool with the car sex. God dammit.
