Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

I havent heard anything since the news broke. Is the rumor true that he actually impregnated a player?

There's some kind of punk rock concert going on in my neighborhood no I don't mean in a building I mean like in the open air. The singer sounds like he's upset about the issues of the day or something I wonder if he's singing about how Tyler Summitt let down the Techsters and women's basketball generally?

i got through a bit of that article before i ejected. 

imo restaurants sell an experience, not food. i think you could probably write the same article but substitute "basic food handling hygiene" for "local provenance" and you'd be just as accurate. 

i've always been sort of fascinated by the kind of person who aspires to open a restaurant/bar. 

So it's cool to lie on the menu? Or if I say it's lobster is its half lobster and half something else?

to be clear i wasn't saying that. i don't think lying is all that cool in any case.

what i was saying is that the name of the game is to make a patron feel a certain way, rather than to actually deliver a specific product.

now you've got me thinking about it it's actually super unfortunate that the idea of artisanal quality is in vogue right now, every two-bit dipshit who tries to make a buck using "organic" "local" etc as an aesthetic instead of an actual technical achievement is gonna add up to a situation where the words stop meaning anything at all.

think about this: is it really possible in this day and age to have the sheer volume of "artisanal" goods that are apparently out there?

might be we're at "peak authentic"... what's next?

I'd transfer too if I was a student at Loyola University...

That was brought up in the article. Ex - Apparently a lot of people were claiming to use this one guys pork (raised sustainably, low carbon footprint, etc etc), and he said he doesn't even raise enough pigs for all of the people who claim to purchase from him to actually have done it. So the restaurant gets to charge a premium, and then it's just pure profit.

Betimes I don't chew my food sufficient to where I get a feeling in my stomach be like "Aww man should of chewed better!"

Home Alone 1 is playing on HBO now and it makes me sad to think this movie is 26 years old.

Hoaly smoakes. Dat nostalgia.

One time I failed to chew a piece of chicken sufficiently and it got stuck halfway down my esophagus. I had to go to the ER to have it Roto-rootered out. That was fun.

It was more than two inches down, so that wouldn't have worked at all.

My father, and his insistence that I: a) don't spend "too much money"; b) not move out. He's also still stuck in this rut of calling me a child. I don't mind "kid", no objections to "boy", but "child"?

It seems like usage of the term "Eurostep" has increased approximately 524% over the last year or so. I'm tired of hearing the word and I want to hear different words instead of it. Words like "hoot" or "mangrove" or "tolbis" would be good to hear more for example.
