At the best of times, the entire concept of tipping is nearly 100% bullshit. But business, as it so often does, has found a way to not only hit 100% bullshit on that scale, but also to redefine what maximum bullshit percentages even are. That’s right, they’re asking for tips at self-checkouts now. The Wall …

How About You Come Sleep Inside, My Man
I don’t drive, but I have driven with a lot of people. Sometimes those people get tired. Sometimes tired enough that them continuing to drive simply isn’t safe. So I understand why perhaps this fellow might have decided to get himself the heck off the road and take a little nap. I can also understand …
Zoom In The 1980s
This would be great if a pandemic ever took over the world…not that that’s gonna happen, hahahaha!

How Bout I Take You Out, Ya Little Punk
As someone who can never look at the labels on anything, I can’t understand how this happened. You either know what something is or you don’t. If you order something and you don’t know what it looks like, why are you going to town on it before you’ve talked to the others? One of them …
Best News Bloopers Of September, 2023
If no one has made Randolph White the plane crash guy into a song yet, please get on that, for the love of god.
Everything Is On The Table Doesn’t Mean Go Ahead And Eat The Candles
Over the years I’ve become, for the most part, the sort of sports fan that tries not to get super worked up or bent out of shape about every decision that a manager or a coach does or doesn’t make. Sometimes I get a little hot because this or that wasn’t what I would have …
