Meh, I didn’t enjoy it, personally.
Thank you for not firsting.
You are the greatest.
I used to work for Pizza Hut and the delivery drivers used to complain that black people didn’t tip. I imagine Barack would be a good tipper though.
My experience was that there wasn’t a huge difference along racial lines in tipping, but that rich people tip very poorly in general and community/church groups tip the worst of all.
Well they don’t stay rich by giving away money.
Yeah, I figured that had something to do with it; also the lower income people are familiar with the concept of tips being a large part of your income — many of them either have jobs where you get tipped, or have had in the past, or know someone well who does.
I will never forget taking a massive pizza order to the fu(king Junior League (snotty rich chick group); it was maybe $120 worth of pizza (which of course I had to bag up, load in my car, drive over there, and haul inside and unpack) and she gave me $2. The Junior League better not ask me for any type of charitable donation or anything, ever.
It is why I am glad that I avoided jobs that depended on tips.
Yeah, people in general aren’t that bad, though. It was decent money.
I suppose though I would still have to resist the urge to punch people.
Lol…I still have to do that.
True but you work in a legal firm, dealing with the people who require lawyers would mean that a fair percentage of them deserve a blow to the head.
Wait, who deserves a blow to the head? The lawyers or their clients? Both?
@Parks & recreation: Both, definitely.
Both in varying degrees.
There are the cliche’ bloodsuckers whom taint the profession that I am sure Diss wouldn’t mind beating to death.
Then there is the simple fact that you require a lawyer for two reasons. A. You’ve been wronged or B. You’ve been accused of wronging another.
Now guess whether A or B is more prominent and how many of those actually deserve their fate but want to whine out of it anyway.
@dwn: Oh, I’ve got a list….
I figured as much. *hugs*
I never know how to tip a delivery driver (even though I worked for Pizza Hut). What’s the percentage recommendation?
In my state I double the tax and then add $1. I don’t get any complaints that way… and my pizza is always hot!
Yeah, depends on the state though. Tennessee doesn’t have sales tax:
Customer: “Thanks sir…here’s your tip…hmmm, two times zero percent…that’s zero dollars. Plus one…equals one. Have a nice day!”
Driver: “You too. *door closes* Douchebag.”
Oh wait. I think I got that backwards. I think Tennessee ONLY has sales tax. My bad.
Oh, Tennessee definitely has sales tax…depending on your locality, can be almost 10%.
Here in Cali, 15% is standard tip. Until they changed it recently, you could double your tax (8.75%) and come out close.
Now tax is over 10%, so it isn’t as easy.
phttt, easy, take the tax amount, divide by 2, add the result to the original tax amount – 15%. and if you want to make it easy, round up to the nearest .50 first…
I usually do a good 20-25% on any tip, delivery or table; more if it’s actually good service, maybe a little less if it’s bad. Say I had an order that was $15.50 or something…I’d probably just give them a 20 IF the service was adequate.
With delivery, I think it’s appropriate to tip a little extra if your living situation creates more work for the driver, which a lot of people don’t think of. It’s one thing to pull into the driveway, walk up to a well-lit front porch, and ring the bell — it’s quite another if you have to: 1) deal with a security gate; 2) deal with parking issues; 3) park and lock the vehicle because you have to go in through a lobby and take an elevator up; 4) deal with calling someone down to the lobby in a college residence hall; 5) dodge around your barking, snarling dogs.
Oh, and pleasepleaseplease wear clothes to open the door and get your pizza. Thank you.
Oh…clothes…um, yeah. *makes a mental note*
Yeah, I always tip at least 20% in restaurants unless the service is awful. Even then I don’t usually go below 15%.
Also depends on the price of the meal. If I just order two beers and the check is only $6, I’ll usually tip 50% or more.
Me too. Heck, I’ve been in situations where I tipped over 100% (like when I’ve sat in a diner/cafe type place either meeting with someone or working on something, and get a bunch of coffee refills but my tab’s not for much).
Exactly. It’s all situational. I got stiffed a couple times when I was a server at a restaurant. But I know at least one of those times I deserved it. I gave the guy bad service intentionally (he was a douchebag). He deserved bad service, and I deserved no tip. It all evened out.
i’ve worked as both a waitress and as a room service person at a hotel. i’ve had my fair share of over tippers and under tippers and as such i try to tip 18% on everything. but if you give me bad service, you bet your ass i’m tipping you abysmally.
at a restaurant last weekend with the family i ordered a POP, nothing from the bar, nothing difficult. everyone else ordered either water or pop. we ordered those before we ordered our food. our food came out and we still didn’t have our drinks. we also didn’t have napkins and silverware. we’d asked for our drinks and silverware sets at least 3 times in that timespan. the waitress only had 2 tables, a total of 8 people. halfway through my meal (which i was eating because it was hot and i didn’t want it to get cold) i get my first glass of pop and finally get my silverware.
we called over the manager. he blew us off and said she was “busy”. she didn’t even get 10%. normal service or even slightly below normal service i’ll excuse. flat out crap service and you bet it’ll be reflected. i’ve had such bad service before that i’ve not left ANY tip.
-
and about that clothes thing, diss…. try working in a hotel delivering breakfast. the number of business men straight out of the shower totally naked surprised that their breakfast that they ordered for 6:30 actually arrived at 6:30 is mind-boggling.
I always give bigger tips when I pick up the pizza naket
I answer the door nekkid only when Jehovah’s Witnesses are there to share the word of God. Or whatever it is they worship.
It’s God. Trust me, he has all the best crazees…
I need to find the blog I read the other day about a guy getting harassed on the street by a woman who yelled in his face “HAVE YOU FOUND JESUS?>!?!?!?!???” He usually brushed these people off, but the assault that day was just too much for him, so he yelled back at her (an inch from her nose) “HAVE YOU LOST HIM AGAIN? DAMMIT, IF YOU PEOPLE WEREN’T SO CARELESS YOU WOULDN’T KEEP LOSING JESUS! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU SAW HIM LAST? HAVE YOU RETRACED YOUR STEPS? I MEAN, DAMN, I’VE NEVER LOST MY SAVIOR BEFORE!” It threw the woman off so badly that she just kind of tottered off and left him alone. Heheheheheeeeee.
Froo, that is the BEST response I’ve ever heard to that!
Best answer ever…
Oh and I don’t work minimum wage, that comment of yours actually made me twitch. /sidenote.
I meant your job is GENERALLY minimum wage, not that you necessarily worked for it. Sorry, I didn’t mean to denigrate you there
-
As far as that response to the Jehovah’s Witness, it’s my new one now, hehe.
We still cool!
And I can see it now, Froofrou coming to the door in her natural glory stating enthusiasm about finding Jesus and asking where they last saw him.
BWAHAHAHAHAAA! *covers natural glory before it gets cold*
“Have you checked in the sofa cushions?”
There He is! He was behind the couch the entire time!
“Get him so we can kick him out! Durn Furriner!!!”
@froofrou:
Once, when the Jehova people came by, my brother in law was the right in the middle of butchering a chicken. He answered the door as-is, bloody butcher smock and all. It didn’t help that he’s well over 6′ tall and brought the butcher knife with him.
He hasn’t seen been bothered since.
@DWM Hey! God doesn’t just have crazees! Plenty of normal people who can’t stand the nasty rep the crazees give us are into God too!
I have a very fundy family member who never ever swears. But one day the Jehovah’s Witnesses came to her door and she invited them in so she could debate with them about their beliefs. At one point she got really mad at them and screamed “OH YOU’RE FULL OF SHIT!!!” They were so shocked by this they practically ran out the door. I love that story.
As someone who works in a full service restaurant, I’ve always avoided getting pizza delivered because I don’t really feel that driving a few blocks and walking to my door rates the same kind of tip that my servers make for greeting a table, fetching beverages, bringing an appetizer, taking an order (with all the “Hold this” and “Extra that”), checking the order and delivering it to the table, making good on any complaints/concerns the guest has, and bussing and resetting the table afterwards, all while smiling and making a guest feel welcome. Compared to, “Two supreme pizzas will be $35 please”, I just don’t feel like my delivery person really earned a tip. Therefor, I do the carry out thing instead.
“Oh, and pleasepleaseplease wear clothes to open the door and get your pizza. ”
Somewhere out there is a video of a pizza delivery guy delivering to a house full of naked strippers, who all insist on having him judge… well… a skill they have apparently worked very hard to perfect. The look on his face as he looks from them to the video camera, obviously (initially) thinking that he’s not going to get paid for the pizza is wonderful. I can just see the thoughts running through his head: “Nothing good can come of this. I’m obviously about to get scammed or beaten. I- oh look what she’s doing!”
Hasnt obama seen the domino’s video on youtube?
Blegh.
Domino’s is across the street from me. Literally. I mean, I go out my front door and wave to them while placing my order. I don’t tip someone for driving across the street, UNLESS the manager is nice enough to waive the delivery fee. Then I’ll tip them a little. This is only relevant after they stop doing carryout at night.
I always tipped on what a gallon of gas costs, rounded up to the next dollar for three reasons:
1. I don’t live in a particularly busy city with hard to navigate roads
2. Most pizza places don’t deliver more than 6 miles from the store
3. Many places give a flat rate to the driver for each run (like 50c per delivery)
Of course this wouldn’t apply to a large order, but it always seemed reasonable to me.
And for those who enjoy international travel, when coming to Australia you don’t have to tip at all!
Yeah, since minimum wage is over $14 an hour, I can understand why tipping isn’t the norm there.
Is it a faux pas to tip?
O_O
Damn, I feel cheated…
Before feeling cheated, check on the local tax rate! A couple cousins, one Danish & one US, recently compared their salaries–it takes about 4 times the salary in Denmark as in the US for a comparable lifestyle, because of the taxes. Of course those taxes cover things like amazing public transit and universal health care…
Point taken, the health care might be worth it though.
That’s what my cousins think!
it is in germany, from what i was told – the tip is included into the meal price and it’s supposed to be an insult to tip on top of it as it implies they need it or something. but eh, i’m always of the mindset, the more the better, whatever.
My German co-workers told me to tip about 10% at least in southern German. Unfortunately I couldn’t convince some of them to tip more while in America! My boss always went back and added more whenever his German boss paid for meals. LOL! My family in the Netherlands tip about 10% – they are not stingy folks so I assume that is normal as well.
You can tip, but I’ve never seen it done. However, a lot of places have now taken to putting tip jars up.
I think it’s a little presumptuous for McDonald’s to have a tip jar, though.
Yaaaaaaa, very presumptuous.
“Here’s a tip. Stop f***ing up my order!!!!!!!!!!”
Best idea ever…
Most of the places where you get a coffee have them. But I will say, it’s not like the coffee there. 99% of the places make espresso/latte and not the brewed stuff you get there. So I don’t mind dropping some coin in for the barista.
I have no problem with that. But the snarky little highschooler at McDonald’s expecting me to drop my change into her jar is a little much.
Agreed!
Wait a minute. Aren’t those jars for Ronald McDonald’s House? ( a charity funded my McD’s for families of children undergoing extensive hospital stays). Are they dipping into the alms box?
I certainly hope not!
that’s about the same tendency i’ve noticed with waiting tables – sunday morning shifts were horrible, getting all the church groups who leave minimal tips, if any and insisted on eating the bottomless soup (I was working at Olive Garden at the time). And, believe it or not, there was one instance a couple actually left me a Jesus card instead of a fricking tip.. oooo
*shakes angry fist*
There’s a major religious convention that’s historically been held here annually, the attendees of which are (I will preface this by saying I only know this from reputation/gossip as I haven’t had the experience of serving them) notoriously poor tippers and also extremely demanding customers; a double-whammy situation that apparently leads a lot of servers to try to take that week off.
I only waited tables briefly, during a college vacation when I was staying on-campus. It gave me a MAJOR appreciation for how hard that is. And also how clueless some diners can be–as in ‘Dude, you’re at a college for this conference, and you expect professional service?’–some guy was ticked because I removed from the wrong side of his chair. Sigh.
I was a busboy during highschool, and man I hated that job. The only upside was I got to do room service, which always tipped well! The waitresses used to give me a third of their tips, but I know it had to annoy them for doing it.
I’m so glad I never worked in a job that required tips, I’d be even more poor! I’m so snarky/sarcastic and stupid questions usually get you my “are you fvcking kidding me?” look. This all works well in a bookstore but I may have to reign it in since I’m working at my Aunt’s country/gift store this summer.
Dude, I’m a Christian and that pisses me off. I want to punch them in the face. You have every reason to be angry at church groups who act like that. So freakin hypocritical. The Jesus card thing especially pisses me off. I wish I was there…they would have gotten an earful. Grrrr…
I’ve also heard of groups of christians who don’t tip just because it’s sunday and people shouldn’t be working.
Why would they go to a freakin restaurant then? Isn’t that like, demanding that people sin for you?
My experience found that there was a huge difference along the lines. Also age:
1) Rich white 15 y/o girl (400k house) which I had to drive 20 minutes to go to…no tip
2) Italian male watching sports = HUGE tip (think $30 back in 1995)
3) And racial stereotypes also apply – sadly – but I did pizza delivery in a mixed neighborhood long enough to sadly see reality.
I’m a 27 y/o male living in a modest home. I tip very well. I always tip at least $5 (more for a big order). Some nights I tip as much as 30%, but that keeps the delivery guy from mentioning that herbal aroma he might have noticed while standing at the doorway.
I bet you could tip him with the “herbs” and he’d be happy…
But that is another crime altogether and you never know where their loyalties lie. It is one thing to let them deny what they smelled. It is another thing to provide them with proof and a possible possession charge.
Lighten up sweetheart! It was supposed to be funny. You ok today?
Conflicted but I’ll live. I will try to refrain from Grinching again.
Well I’m here for you. *huggles*
You can grinch, just try to do it to someone a wee bit more deserving. Hahaha. Or if I say something more deserving. Like “Great googlie mooglie!!!”
Point taken, I will make sure to keep to that.
*huggles* Thanks babe.
Mmm, realized why my mood is shit. I am a bit sleep deprived today, which is my own fault, and I am starving…
Those are the easy answers.
You’re welcome. I’m starving too but have a bad case of the lazies today. I want cereal and milk and am out of both.
Sorry about the sleep deprivation. I hate that. *more huggles*
Least it was for a good cause. Damn flash game and needing me to kill over five thousand zombies…
The bright side was that it let me use the Independence Day technique with a grenade launcher that used cluster bombs… But my wrist was killing me by the time I realized I should be sleeping.
And lunch isn’t for another co(kgargling half hour!!! :vein:
It’s for the best that you don’t understand and sorry for your disappointment.
*sigh* I’ll live.
But a wet t-shirt contest will help my mood. Ladies?
It is those kinds of things that cause some people to not tip as much. You can tell if a the waitress/waiter doesn’t think they are going to get a big tip = bad service.
It seems that it goes hand in hand.
I start with expecting to give 20%. The better the service the more I give. The service is bad then I will not give that much. I also look if the problems where caused by the waitress/waiter or someone else (ie the cooking staff). I will account for what is in control of the waitress/waiter. I have had many older people wait on us that would not give us good service but give every one around us what we need. In this case, it is a self fulfilling prophecy.
I would assume because he’s the president, if he went for pizza he would tip well, stereo types aside. However, I’m sure his cooking staff would be PISSED that he called for second rater pizza when he has a gourmet cooking staff on hand.
“It had a crust like a wet dream…”
“Don’t say that, I don’t want to imagine that. I would wake up screaming til I died.”
“Nothing wrong with wet dreams, I had a few of them.”
“I’ll look for that exhibit in your museum…”
(obvious movie reference passes over my head)
My Fellow Americans
Great political comedy movie.
“Wag the Dog” was teh awesomest.
Yes, I’m sure White House pizza > all fast food pizza.
But maybe not all Italian restaurant pizza?
There is something to be said for that nasty-ass pizza you get at the mall. Sbarras or something like that. I have actually had cravings for that stuff to the point where I drove across town to get a slice.
Eeeuw, that stuff is evil! I can’t imagine having a craving for that–but then I do occasionally crave the fluorescent orange cheetos, so…
Dammit, now I do too *sigh*
I get what you mean though. My dad makes a kick ass burger on the grill and I love it in the summer time, but sometimes I just want a greasy double cheeseburger from McDonalds. Mmmmmmm, so yummy.
I used to think that, except everybody at my work seems to get sick from the Sbarros in our mall. :-X
Black people do not tip as well as white people or Mexicans. I have been delivering pizza part time for the past 7 years, and did it on an off since 1990. Tips from black people have gotten better, but it is quite typical to get $.17 cents in leftover change from a black person.
My average tip comes out to about $2.25, two dollars being a typical base tip.
Mileage reimbursement is currently $.84 per order, so it is better to take two or more runs every time you head out the door.
In a nine hour shift from 6 pm to 3 am I might have 30 orders delivered which means I will net in cash around $90 in my pocket when I leave. This does not include the minimum wage I get.
When I hear that people are too poor to tip, I think about the nice cars in the driveway of rental assistance apartments, kids kept up til 1 am in the morning, big screen TVs, and $25 in pizza and chicken wings. If you can afford to order that for dinner on a regular basis, show some appreciation for the guy trying to get your food to you a quickly as possible. Even an extra $.50 shows that you appreciate the effort, and prevents all the delivery drivers in the store from trying to avoid the ghetto runs.
The amount of cash I have to spend on groceries for my families depends on the generosity of those I deliver to. If you want to be treated well, do that to others. I used to not be so racist, but delivery after delivery where I get stiffed or left-ver pennies as a tip, makes me dread every order with pepperoni/sausage with wings and a 2 liter Sprite.
Not even remotely. Tip at the burger joint last week (that probably cost taxpayers several thousand) was $5 on a bill of $30. That is CHEAP! Although I admit that I don’t tip at a place like 5 Guys any more than I tip at McDonald’s, same at Starbucks or somewhere that they stand behind a counter and hand me my drink or meal that is already made. Sorry. Not happening. Make a little bit of effort and I will tip around 20% average.
Criky.. I read that as fisting..
Just means you are a more disturbed individual than I am…
No, that’s not possible.. I’m too old.. old people can’t be disturbed can they?
Yes they can, if not more so.
Oh hell, better lock me away now then..
Plan to, as soon as I can muster the effort and funds for travel.
*snort*
-
Bring it.. for I am the Fartful Dodger..
-
oh wait, is that a different LOL?
I’ll bring it when I damn well feel like it…
I bet that pisses Lynn off..
Not really but then again, she is much more enticing than an older gentleman on another continent…
I knew you were going to say that!
Glad I didn’t disappoint.
ah, you may be old, my good sir, But I am a /b/tard. Ergo, the most demented, twisted, black hearted individual in this room.
I could honestly contend you for that title without being a /b/tard.
Age and experience will overcome youth and agility..
Just as soon as you damn kids get off Eddie’s lawn.
Is 4chan /b/ even still around? Look, just looking at pictures of anime lolis and insulting random anonymous strangers does not make you demented, twisted, or black hearted. It just makes you kinda sad.
You may be shocked to learn that /b/, and indeed, 4chan itself, are utterly irrelevant these days. Everyone who is anyone has moved on to greener pastures. There is absolutely no cachet in associating yourself with semi defunct and forgotten sites.
I had a like your mom comment but I am too busy chuckling to impliment it.
As that may be, there are still several who have yet to even find 4chan, or have only heard rumors. These rumors are often made up by the generic 40-something year old in his mum’s basement who spreads lies and propaganda that make 4chan look like it is a place of utter evil and disgust, thus making him feel like he’s worth something. He’s not.
So by affiliating myself with 4chan I can scare away idiots who don’t know the truth, as well as spark conversations such as these, which really have no meaning to anything, anywhere, but are indeed a nice way of procrastinating my assignment I should be working on.
Least there is method to your slacking. I can appreciate that.
Very nice. Uh, I mean, MOAR PLZ!
4chan may not be a place of utter evil and disgust, but /b/ sure is. I don’t really care about the pictures of anime lolis getting molested. What bothers me is that /b/ is a lobotomized lynch mob just waiting to be pointed at anything or anyone that some idiot wants torn apart, just for the lulz.
“Mindless ‘Me too-ism’” is how it’s often described around me. And yes, /b/ is quite honestly one of the stupidest and most insane places on this fair interwebs of ours. The odds of having an intelligent conversation on /b/ and less than me coming up with a creative metaphor to describe the odds of finding a creative conversation on /b/ Though, the presence of intelligent people is obviously there.
take project Chanology for example. Thought of, and executed by intelligent members anonymous who had a cause in mind, backed up my and attended by complete idiots who were just there to say ‘look at me, I’m pretending to be smart enough to judge you’ and had no care for the cause at all. /b/ is definitely a great place to round up a mindless mob and to sick in whatever direction you please, as you said.
I’m ignorant of both 4chan and /b/, but I’ve seen references to them recently, particularly /b/. I can’t tell anything about them from the context, what were they?
A weird-ass site where people post pictures and such, and random strangers insult them. /b/ board is the worst. Head over to the link (www . 4chan . org) and look under the “random” board for /b/, but wear your warping glasses so you won’t get warped by the stupidity.
-
Also, there is a lengthy Wiki article about 4chan if you’re interested.
Thanks froo.
That’s because Domino’s sucks as pizza goes..
You know, I love pizza but I’ve never been a big fan of Dominos. I probably shouldn’t judge as I don’t think I’ve had any in over a decade (maybe it’s better now?) but I’ve always thought it was crap pizza.
You should try the pizza down here.. OMG, I thought Domino’s was bad.. it’s heaven compared to what we have. Oh, and they do have Domino’s here as well and it’s even worse than in the States.
Really? Huh. I had no idea!
When I was back in the States in September I ate a lot of pizza and Mexican food.. *sigh*
Oooh, I bet the Mexican food’s bad there, too. I hadn’t thought of that. *idea* You should open a combination pizza/Mexican chain of restaurants over there!
Oh, you mean like Taco Bell?!?!
Well….but better. I have to admit, I have a strange addiction to Taco Bell but I don’t actually consider it Mexican food.
Ditto – not sure how to classify it, but damn, they must put crack in it.
TexMex I believe it to be called.
Delicious sludge is the technical term for it.
I bet it’s radioactive too.
It certainly feels that way after you eat it.
Lol. I’ve said that before.
And now I want a Chalupa…
I know what I’m getting for dinner now.
Curses!
Damn, now I’m hungry and it’s only 7:00 am!
I heard this story on NPR the other night. It might address the addiction we have to food we KNOW isn’t good for us. [link]
You may have a little trouble getting to the front door. I’ll leave the money with the Secret Service. How will you find them? Oh don’t worry, they will know you are here before you know you are here.
See this proves fox wrong. Elitists order from Little Ceasars!
Did anyone else see the “burger coverage” of his other lunch meal? ROFL
Hold the dijon!
Everyone knows real Americans use French’s mustard! Oh, wait…
Yawn.
*Hands Lainie some no-doz..*
There’s no way the President eats Domino’s pizza. It’s the sucks.
You’ve apparently never had Little Ceasar’s. Their pizza is downright awful.
Dude. I eat Little Caesar’s like it’s going out of style. Which it is, so I’m right on target.
cmon, thats one of the oldest jokes in the book
“County Morgue, you kill ‘em we chill ‘em.. Oh, hi Joe”
That… Would have been a way better caption than Obama, cool guy impressing pizza boys with his title…
There, should be recaptioned in my lolz. Have a look.
Is anyone else disturbed by the picture hanging on the wall in the background of this LOL? I *know* what it’s a picture of, but I also know what it looks like out of the corner of your eye.
Maybe it’s one of those $500,000 “photo-op” pictures that the One refuses to show anyone.
Your post no sense.
Something penetrating on your mind?
*sobs* Yes, but I’m too tired……….*cries*
Perhaps go home and lay there, telling him to just do it so you can have dreams about it?
I’m trying to figure out how to let him have it without waking me up, and without it being all creepy.
Let creepy be part of the fun? You girls can be damn weird when you wanna.
Neither one of us is into necrophilia, and that’s kind of what it smacks of, lol. I’ll figure something out. A quickie before bed, or something.
Do it for your help! Spread a little love, even it is just a little. Quickie before bed just means you are cuddled up closer while you sleep, if you are anything like Lynn and I.
Cuddling is entirely dependent on my mood at the time. I’m not a cuddler, and unfortunately, Hubby is. We compromise most of the time while I’m awake, but he says that after I fall asleep I kick or hit him until he’s not touching me. The good thing is that after the “good stuff” and I’m all sapped, I’m all huggy and co-dependent for at least a couple of days, so he gets quite a bit of cuddling in during those days.
Awesome, all the more reason for a quickie before bed.
Quickies are for him, not me. Why is it that you men can’t get it through your head that its not a race?
Haha… haha…
Time for a chorus of “One hour mama” again!
“I feel the need… THE NEED FOR SPEED!”
Oh hell.. I just creeped myself out..
LOL, me too.
I think I just learned too much about Eds’ sex life and man crush on Tom Cruise…
Usually two shots for me but we are never faster than 20 minutes and usually hit about an hour on average.
And not TMI for me but milage may vary for others.
TOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!11!!eleventy!
@Eds: That’s what she said… in bed…
@DWN: LOL.
-
The good thing is that we always agree that it’s a quickie beforehand. It’s never a surprise and a disappointment, LOL.
And now I want a chalupa…
It’s the couch jumping..
My problem is always the opposite. I think women think it’s funny to leave me high and dry when they’re too sore to continue. *Sigh*. I always tell them that’s why I need TWO women in my life, and then they get all grumpy and tell me to go home.
@ Portland Mike. Lube, my friend, lube! Especially for weekend ‘extended play’ sessions!
If someone is “low income” and they’re DUMB enough to be paying $20+ for a bleeping PIZZA, it’s safe to say their income isn’t the only thing that’s low…..oh wait…that’s why they are (and always will be) “low income” in the first place. I wonder if you can pay for pizza with food stamps…yet?
All I hear is “Blah blah blah I hate poor people blah blah you’re stupid blah blah you’re all lazy and I’m not”.
Hey, here’s an idea: google “working poor”
Or you could come to my place and get a good idea of “working poor”.
(Although hopefully not for long – I’m currently taking a long-delayed, hard-earned college degree and trying to get a job with it. *crosses fingers*)
*crosses fingers for ElbieSee*
This is flat out unfunny.
I recaptioned it based of Eds idea. Give it a look and see if it is better for ya.
LMAO!! Perfect!
Just for you, dear Eds, just for you.
Personally we as a country need to put out more Obama lolz that are actually lolz and not a play on his celebrity status or how much the captioner wants to blow him.
Thank you for the inspiration for we all need to be taken down a peg. Unless you’re me, then I will have Rhorho kill you with science or Froofrou will handle your kneecaps with a 2×4…
Kneecaps? I don’t need no freakin’ kneecaps.. Death by science could be a bonus though.
Well if you are extremely annoying, I could have them both work on your death. I am sure that Rhorho could cook some nasty inflammatories that will make even a caress feel like a beating…
Then Froofrou would beat you with a 2×4.
Ouch! Can I take a pass then?
I suppose, just this once. But next time… We will have you covered in itching and beat you silly.
I always base my pizza delivery tip on the gas it would take, plus trip.
But my tip usually is about 23.5% of the total.
To Frou-froo…Think that’s the spelling??:) I laughed so so hard on the losing Jesus comment….That is seriously the best humor I have seen for a week!!!!! Thanks for the original laugh…:)
TSDS
Calling Dominos? Probably not. He’d probably call some place in Chicago and fly the delivery guy out to DC on the tax payer dime using Air Force One. Then 75% of the delivery guy’s tip would go to taxes.
Yep. Sad, ain’t it?
Make sure there’s Dijon on it. And fly it in for me on a private jet from LA. We’ll buy a carbon offset later. So? I’ll give a $5 tip.
Hehe – nothing funny about Obama indeed. (Not the lol, but the stuff that goes with it.)
Why are conservatives so anti-tasty mustard? Or is it un-American to actually like a mustard that doesn’t squirt the watery nasty stuff first? I SO did not get this memo.
#1 Not a conservative
#2 Completely anti regular yellow mustard
You want mustard to put hair on your a**, you get the dry powder and mix it with some ice water and vinegar and salt – like in the Chinese restaurants. Now THAT’S mustard. Wasabi might not be mustard per se but it beats the hell out of any nasty yellow crap that looks like baby diarrhea. Dijon doesn’t have any kick – pfft.
Still, a “regular” cheddar cheeseburger with no ketchup but Dijon? Uh…yeah, arugula too pls. Just weird and out of touch. So long as he puts some Brother Bru-Bru’s on top maybe it’ll be ok. I don’t know. Everything tastes better when it’s flown in by the slice on a private jet, though; everybody knows that.
Wait, you’re a left-winger?
No, she’s a different kind of “Right”.
She’s about as much of a left-winger as Martin Brodeur.
(Hockey reference in case many of you don’t get it.)
Mmmm…wasabi. There’s a kick-@$$ sushi place down the street and I may have to go there for dinner now.
So it’s out of touch to have a flavor preference? Or do we all get in line and order with ketchup and nasty mustard? Or the secret sauce that’s really Thousand Island? That’s the whole thing about this kerfuffle over Dijon, it’s just completely nonsensical.
What’s wrong with arugula? I love salad but absolutely hate iceberg lettuce. Normally I use Romaine because I can buy the Romaine hearts and it’s quick and easy, but I like experimenting with different leafy greens. Fresh Spinach is my favorite though.
“What’s wrong with arugula?”
Is that a riddle? Kinda zen, no? I don’t know, you tell me – what’s wrong with arugula?
You bought it up. What’s wrong with it?
So far as I can tell, nothing.
Try quoting in context next time, though.
So perhaps you can explain what you did mean by the arugula comment then?
She was saying, ordering a cheddar cheeseburger with Dijon but no ketchup is as weird and elitist as ordering one with arugula. Which is totally false! Yes, it is weird to order a burger with no ketchup and mustard. About as weird as ordering a hotdog with no mustard and ketchup. Arugula is a much stranger thing to have on a burger though, and much more associated with ‘elitism’ than even Dijon mustard, so Anniee is just being over the top with that one.
Wait, YOU dislike elitist tools? Me too! We have something in common after all. However, can I say? Can I just say? I like arugula. It has a nice mildly spicy flavor. Not on a burger, mind you. A burger has: bacon, cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup, and/or mustard. That is all. Tomatoes? Gross watery bland tomatoes? No thank you. Lettuce? Yeah, please dilute my burger’s taste with iceburg lettuce. Mayonnaise goes on a patty melt, not a burger on a bun. Please.
WATERY tomatoes? I sense someone who’s never had a Jersey tomato straight off the vine washed off with a hose and sprinkled with pepper and salt. I’ve made tomato lovers out of haters at least ten times with that.
Jane? You don’t really have to ask, do you? Come on.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good tomato. But even good tomatoes have no place on a burger. Tomatoes go on steak sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, BLTs, of course, any cold cut sandwich with turkey, and any hot sandwich with egg. I’m very particular about my flavor profiles.
And good vine tomatoes don’t need pepper or salt. People think of tomatoes as primarily sweet and sour, but they are also high in glutamates, the fifth taste, the savory, meaty taste. Especially good home grown vine ripened tomatoes. Which are so indescribably different from the bland watery store bought variety, it’s like they aren’t even the same fruit at all.
Anti yellow mustard? Dude, Anniee seriously hates everything good in this world. *sobs*
Hm. Another “funny” LOL with Barack Obama.
Has no one even thought to comment on the fact that Obama recently flew a pizza chef from St. Louis to DC just so he could have a particular pizza?
I hadn’t heard that, so I looked it up. This is funny as hell. Obama is forcing himself into the public spotlight at every opportunity, doing things that are not only terribly un-presidential, but also set a very bad example. And you know what? People keep coming out of the woodwork to defend this guy. “Don’t rip him because he likes his pizza a certain way”, “There’s nothing wrong with spending our tax dollars for a freaking $300K+ Air Force One photo-op”. 50 years ago, any president who tried some of this stuff would have been tarred and feathered by the media and the public. Why is this now acceptable?
Well, no, 50 years ago we would never have heard about it, so nobody would raise hell, because they wouldn’t know about it.
Obama did NOT fly a pizza chef in, the guy was already taking a business trip to DC on his restaurant’s dime, he just made a pizza for Obama while he was there. It’s amazing how some people can just accept a story from a biased source and run with it. This would have taken all of 45 seconds to find the truth. I’m betting you’ll still repeat this lie.
I am not seeing where it says he was already in DC. My “45 seconds to find the truth” turned into 10 minutes, and still no mention on any news item that he was already there. If this is true, please post the news item in which you found it (or tell me what to search for on google. Every time I post a link to a news item here it gets moderated into oblivion.) It may surprise you, but we conservatives are more interested in the truth than you may think. If I am wrong, I’ll be happy to admit it.
Hope this helps

There’s no such thing as comment moderation here. Putting links in the text activates the spam filters. Use the ‘Website’ text box to put in a link. The FIRST pizza deal was months ago, at the inauguration. The chef was flown in by the restaurant. This latest pizza deal was entirely Obama’s idea.
However, he had NOTHING to do with the photo op. That was the military’s idea. Why do you hate our armed forces?
As for the pizza, guess what? Obama is President of the United States. Get it? President. Presidents get whatever pizza they want at their parties. When you are president, you can get your pizza flown in from Italy for all I care. That is how it is, and that is how it has always been. The president gets perks. Nothing new here, and this mad scramble to find things to hate about our president is highly comical.
Its not that I hate President Obama. I continue to have respect for the man in charge of this country. However, I have a whole pile of things I disagree with him on. This pizza thing is just another “roll-your-eyes” moment for me. I am fine with Obama the President getting perks. It just seems to me that Obama the man is having a hard time setting a good example in these “tough and trying times”. As a sidenote, Obama must at all times know where both AF1 planes are. If he was truly blindsided by that, someone screwed up. I think for him to say he knew nothing of it is a stretch of the truth at the least. But I can only speculate.
I seriously doubt he sits around and wonders where Air Force 1 is at all times. The presidential planes are maintained by the 89th Air Lift Wing, which comes under their control. Why do you presume that Obama had to know about the fly-over?
You are thinking of our previous president, the ‘ex’ coke head…
FWIW I’m against the drug war; I’d like to believe the last “Borking” we’re going to see was Bork himself.
“was an ex-alcoholic”? That would make him an alcoholic, right?
Correct.. those in AA don’t refer themselves as ex-alcoholics, only that they have been dry for however long it’s been.
“Recovering alcoholic” is the term, some of them still say “alcoholic”. It seems to depend on how long one has been “clean”. But like with any psychiatric disorder, there is no cure, only maintenance.
Meaning that for the rest of your life you need to be cognizant of how you are doing or it’s possible that you will slip back into where you were. Self awareness is the key.
For more severe mental disorders (like schizophrenia) the maintenance is meds, just like for some alcoholics the maintenance is meetings and counseling for the long term.
At any rate, I was also pointing out that Anniee used a sort of “double negative” – “WAS an EX – alcoholic” would make him an alcoholic, right? Heh.
Thanks Charro, that is what I meant but you clarified it better.
You’re welcome, sometimes when I’m trying to be funny no one catches it.
I know a lot about recovery, having been in it and having hubby be in it etc., so I like to help educate people. It makes me happy.
I’ll try to be funnier next time.
Just let the funny be natural and not interfere with the edumacation part.

FWIW, my sistser was a recovering alcoholic that went back and forth. I have seen first hand what alcohol can do to destroy lives. It is one of the worst forms of suicide.
Natural… Funny. Got it.
Sad about your sister, it is unfortunate that alcohol can do that to people. It is very hard to watch someone you care about destroy themselves and literally be powerless *hugs*
I hope she gets to the lifelong sobriety.
Unfortunately this is where the suicide part was quite effective. She died in 2001 from kidney and liver failure. Her liver was so enlarged she literally looked 9 months pregnant. She passed away barely aware that her family and friends were at her side. I did take a close friend up to the hospital to visit her as he was an alcoholic-in-denial. He left the hospital, joined AA, and has been sober since. So while my sister died because of alcohol, she also saved someone’s life.
Oh.. wow. That is a very sad story. I am sorry for your loss.
I am glad though that some good came out of it. More power to your friend. *hugs*
Have you ever had St. Louis’ pizza? It’s worth wasting taxpayer money to get some.
who writes this crap?
The real question is who votes for it?
this sucks. a lot. your all democrats and you dont want to make real jokes out of liberals. this shouldnt be on the front page. awful
I’m not a Democrat, thank you very much.. Further, it’s you’re, not your. and your brush is too broad as well.
You suck. And your mom smells. And your shift key has obviously taken leave of your keyboard, along with your apostrophe key. Here’s a clue, now you have one. Go show your friends.
It’s not as awful as your spelling and punctuation.
This. you’re. don’t. shouldn’t. Awful.
I have no problem with making jokes about Liberals, as long as they’re in good taste.
Not only do I not having a problem with making jokes about liberals, I don’t even mind jokes about ME as long as they’re in good taste. LOL
For example, I’ve always been a fan of Bill Clinton, but I’ll admit that his morality or lack thereof makes for some pretty good comedy.
All the resident “conservatives” (in the grand old tradition of Meghan McCain – Republicans who do nothing but bash conservatives, that is) came out to greet you, aren’t you happy?
There ARE some actual conservatives here, and some libertarian conservatives (i.e. fiscal conservative social liberal) but the same crew abuses them regularly as well. Even if our grammar and punctuation are better than what you used here
Was that a back-handed compliment?
Why, did it sound like one?
Well, sort of.. I didn’t know if you were referring to anyone in particular or whether it was in general..
That’s a line from My Date With the President’s Daughter. Best Disney Channel Movie EVER! It’s from the part where Hallie meets Duncan in the mall, and he asks her out, so she tell him to pick her up at her house – “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It’s a big white house, you can’t miss it.”
Hahahaah ‘My Date with the President’s Daughter’ reference??
*golf clap*
-
Well said, Charro!
Oh, thanks Eds!
If someone wants to call themselves an “ex-alcoholic”, I won’t argue with them, they can call themselves whatever they want. I was just clarifying for Eddie what the terms are that people in the program use, and that like all other mental disorders there is no cure; only maintenance.
“Anniee, what I was pointing out was you saying “was an ex-alcoholic”. If you had said “is an ex-alcoholic”, that would make more sense. Saying “was an ex-alcoholic” is like using a double negative, meaning he is now an alcoholic.”
Well, that makes sense then. I referred to him in the past-tense since he is no longer president; but to grammatically untangle it; you may indeed be right there.
AA works *if* one wants it to and adheres to it, much as anything else works if one wants it to and adheres to it – “it works if you work it.” It has the same success rate as anything else – for people who “work it” it does just fine. However, we have had the last three presidents now who are or have been drug/alcohol abusers, and it’s going to be harder to find anyone who hasn’t (did you ever read Firestarter? There’s a pretty astute line in there, pertinent to 1969, that is quite pertinent today, actually. Well, there are many, but in this case there’s one on this topic
)
It isn’t hopeless to be cognizant of the fact that you have had a problem with substances; it is hopeless (IMO) to say you have absolutely no power over your own life OR that you will never have that power. As someone who believes in an ultimate higher power, I don’t want to go too far down that road; as someone who holds myself and others accountable for their actions politically, I also don’t want to go too far down that road. Lotta history down that road lol
(That’s a reference, don’t get too caught up in it.)
So when you said “I am aware of the hopeless terms preferred by AA” you were referring to the parts where they say they are powerless over their addictions and must surrender to and ask for help from a higher power, correct?
It seemed you were saying that calling oneself an “addict” or a “recovering addict” is hopeless – whereas I see that as simply being truthful.
For further reference you might check out the teetotallers Penn and Teller’s Bullsh** on AA. I found it pretty amazing.
Charro, I’m not here to argue against what helped your family members. I have members still caught and forever caught in the trap between unbearable physical pain and the addiction of pain meds. She…nah. Not here. I’ve told it elsewhere. Among a more supportive audience.
I’m not trying to argue, I’m just trying to clarify. If you don’t want to continue, I’m ok with that.
Perhaps.
*scratches his head*

anniemcphee and Anniee451? Which is which and who is who?
She’s the same. I dunno why she changes.
I pretty much thought so, but like you, I have to wonder why two names? Isn’t one enough around here?
The logic is confusing. Anniee, why do you use two names?
The Myrth (Myth) of the CLinton surplus – people seriously thought the debt went AWAY? Oh, come on.
Meh.
Besides, he would never eat Dominos.
You copied the “It’s a big white house, you can’t miss it” from a Disney channel movie, My Date With the President’s Daughter.
my thoughts exactly
Domino’s? Our Elitist President would never order from that second-rate pizza farm! No sir, I believe he would prefer to waste taxpayer dollars by flying in his favorite chef from Chicago.
I hate your grammar, punctuation and spelling so much…
The only reason you got the “- you can’t miss is”-part right is ’cause you copied it from someone else – you’d never manage to use it correctly otherwise.
that next to Obama is Bill Clinton
and that is a very stupid thing
