Cubans are the best tortilla rollers, actually. If you ever stop by a Chipotle staffed by Dominicans, move along. They roll those burritos way too tightly.

This is the main thing about Rosetta Stone. Like I said, it's basically just super expensive flash cards. That's fine as a supplement, but you will not reach any sort of conversational fluency with Rosetta Stone as your only tool.

Rosetta Stone is an enormous waste of money. It's glorified flash cards. Even the theory behind their "learn like a baby" approach, or whatever it's called, is pretty much bullshit in my opinion. If you go through the whole program you'll have a tourist-level understanding of basic Spanish...

Yeah, I kind of agree with you. Although, to be fair, they have portrayed Oliver numerous times as an extremely stubborn individual who only does and believes what he wants. It's not like Diggle doubts the mom's guilt; it's just Oliver refusing to accept it.

Because customers are stubborn idiots and they will bitch and moan until their exact request is fulfulled. It's far easier to simply remove the gratuity (which is the exact request of the customer) than to comp a menu item and then risk the stupid customer not understanding that it's basically...

I'm curious if you worked in a chain restaurant. Mom and Pop places might stick to their guns on not removing a gratuity, but almost all chain restaurants will do whatever the fuck a customer asks them to do because the people at that location don't want corporate to come down on them. Even if...

I've always greatly preferred California Tortilla to Chipotle. Plus they've got a fantastic selection of hot sauces.

Epic stunty league match between my halfings and Restless' goblins. Result? Two dead trolls. Crazy.

I think most places have gotten rid of them by now, but as of a couple years ago I would still occasionally run into an old ass McDonalds on road trips where you'd see the empty burger chute behind the registers.

Little Caesar's Hot and Ready Pizza would like to have a word with you. Sorry to break it to you, but I've waited longer for food at McDonald's than I have at 5 Guys. Since every fast food place lets you customize your order none of them are 100% "fast" anymore and it all depends on what you...

It's a sports marketing/advertising company. I guess it's technically unclear that they are successful, but that's the impression I've gotten. They're hiring more people (as evidenced by Darrel), the office is pretty swank, they're having meetings with athletes, and Jim isn't stressing about it...

Makes sense to me. I don't have any problem with it.

Doesn't matter because the company is turning out to be incredibly successful. Only a woman would hold onto that "going straight to max investment" shit.

Yeah this is the biggest mistake people make when trying to eat better/healthier. It's incredibly hard to "guesstimate" your food portions unless you've been accurately measuring them for a while. Half the people who post stuff on forums like "I'm eating cleanly but not losing weight" aren't...

The actor playing Slade Wilson/Crixus does a MUCH better acting job on Arrow than on Spartacus. I think he's improved overall from season 1 - 3 of Spartacus, but even still he plays a relatively dumb brute so the majority of his "acting" on Spartacus is screaming and looking intimidating. I was...

Great! I was looking for you all weekend. I should be online in IRC tonight after 7ish EST.

Contact Chuy's (whatever the fuck that is, never heard of it) corporate and complain about how their staff acted. You'll be drowning in gift cards.

People who breathe audibly.

I'm going to take this opportunity to come clean... I'm not really the Mayor of McDonaldland. I apologize for my deception.

Yeah they made it a point to show that he has the same tattoo as the daughter. My guess is that it's a mark of whatever order/martial art/clan/etc. that Yao Fei is a member of and eventually we'll see how Oliver gets inducted into it. I'm assuming that's how Oliver will get his bow skills...

I'd be careful using logic like this. The vast majority of personal trainers are broscience-espousing idiots who make bodybuilding.com forum posters look intelligent. Regarding carbs vs. no carbs, I'm sure there is lots of science and research to back up both sides, but let's be honest. The...

I thought I wanted to get into computer programming. Then I learned to program (C++) and I realized I absolutely hated it. Before jumping into it headlong I'd see if you really enjoy writing code. Some do, some don't, and it would be better to know whether you do or not before you get halfway...

I'm guessing she's been to your place a time or two. If she knows where you live you're a dead man. You can either stay in the relationship and hope she tries to end it herself or you can be murdered in your sleep. Sorry.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to live in food heaven and pound nothing but pizza rolls all day every day.

Pretty much this for me as well. I think it's impossible to answer with an absolute "never", because no matter how much you don't want to do something there is always some chance you'll be put in a situation where it might happen. Some people just seem more willing to put themselves into such...

Looks Alright? What the fuck, this looks atrocious. First "The Watch" and now this garbage. Oh Vince Vaughn, how far you've fallen!

I was a little surprised at Caesar's appearance (then again, I've never really read or even thought about how he looked) but I really like how they're portraying his personality. I can see how this young guy will eventually turn into one of Rome's great generals and its first dictator. He's got...

True words. This is why being a man is fucking awesome. I'll add that if you have a good job and decent salary you can extend your "prime" even longer. Add being a homeowner into the equation and you can stretch it out till you're physically incapable of having sex.

I validated WaxedWolf/Funkor and ZProtoss/Satael.

I bring a big bag of carrots in my lunch everday and I much on them daily from 1:00 to 5:00. After the first few I enter that "neverending chew" mode that happens with things like carrots and celery where you chew and chew and chew but just can't seem to swallow. It keeps me from getting super...

8pm on would work best for me anyway, I'll hop into IRC around that time and we can work it out.

Let's aim for tonight. I'm hesitant to set a concrete time now, but I'll hop into IRC this evening after 5 - 6pm EST and we can figure out a time this evening that works for both of us.

I paid a visit to the new Roy Rogers I mentioned a few days ago. First one I've been two in about a decade. The burger was mediocre but they had a pretty good strawberry shortcake sundae.

I think I posted it jokingly in the fast food thread, but what's the big deal about eating horse meat? It's massively popular in Central Asia (horse sausages, stewed meat, and other varieties) and it really doesn't taste that bad at all. At least with dogs/cats you have the cute and cuddley...

That's terrible advice.

Going on a second date on the 15th. I'm thinking kimono + The Package. Too late to mail The Package so I'll probably bring it. Maybe I'll put the kimono in The Package? I don't know...GWBYHT please advise.

While I'm happy Supernatural is returning, I think I'm even more thrilled to see Arrow getting confirmed for a second season.

I was shocked to see they built a brand new Roy Rogers nearby. I haven't seen one of those in probably close to a decade.

It's all about confidence. Whether you're trying to find a mate or get a job, confidence is viewed by everyone as a positive trait. That's it. You all are overcomplicating things.

In my case it wasn't so much connected with style but more connected with buying clothes that fit me well and colors that suited me. For example, I had some dress shirts that fit me but not really well...they were a bit baggy and made me look fatter/puffier than I actually was. I spent extra...
