    OKCupid tends to be more popular in SF. At least from word of mouth.

    Songs to blow up a jukebox at a bar

    I play long songs. Usually proggy stuff everyone hates. But I paid for it and I like it so fuck those people. I like when I find a jukebox with CDs on it. Most bar trend toward a certain sound so it ends up making a much more coherent playlist in the bar.

    We don't even have Weinerschnitzels in the Bay Area. I've only seen them in southern California. I thought you were in Sacramento for some reason. Are there any up there?

    You hurt me, bro. I didn't even realize there was a Bengals bandwagon to hitch to. The Akili Smith years really brought in a lot of fans I guess. The Pirates will end up with a losing season.

    The place I go to is very popular. If you don't get there before noon the line is halfway around the block. But it only costs $8 - which really isn't much different from any other fast food joint - and the preparation is rather fast since the meat is on a rotisserie all day. I agree with one...

    Showtime shows tend to start going down the tubes around the fourth season. They've burned me enough times that I won't even start watching a Showtime show no matter how awesome it looks because I know it will turn to shit.

    We'd turn on items if we were playing against people who weren't that great. Items can be a good equalizer.

    This. 4 stock, no items. We're not strictly 1v1. If there are more people around then we'll have bigger games. Every once in a while we'll turn on items, but be pretty selective about which ones appear and we turn the rate to low.

    What is more important... Salary or fringe benefits?

    Yeah, I don't know what kind of caves you're working in where there's no water cooler or coffee. That's not even considered a fringe benefit in my book. That's just something an office should provide.

    Pete shows signs of legit compassion every once in a while. It tends to be with Peggy. This past week when they were drunk at dinner was a good example. Pete relates and shows a side of himself he rarely, if ever, lets anyone else see.

    Using the ring finger for both the D and G strings will slow you down and make you sound sloppy. That's simply a F# minor chord. Ring on the D-string, pinky on the G-string, middle on the B-string and pointer on the E-string. You have plenty of time to move your pinky to up to that high B...

    That sounds terrible. "Show a flashback of what he did in the North"? That sounds like it could easily be multiple books worth of material. The meticulous setup is what makes this show awesome.

    The Mission has the best Mexican food. Just go to any taqueria on Mission St between 16th and 26th streets. Epic Roasthouse in the Embarcadero area has a badass burger called the Explosion Burger - ask for both cheeses on the top and inside. Golden Boy and Tony's have the best pizza and both...

    I agree with this. Of course, I haven't had 5 Guys in a long time (we don't have them in SF). 5 Guys has better fries and I'll accept no argument. In-n-Out fries aren't very good. However, you can't get chopped chiles, the best secret menu item at In-n-Out, at 5 Guys. In-n-Out could change...

    We have Nerf guns in the office and it's awesome when an all out gun fight breaks out every once in a while. Darts all over the floor. I wish they made places like Leaps 'n' Bounds and DK Discovery Zone for adults. Those places were a blast as a kid. And I think I would still enjoy running...

    I work from home one or two days a week and that's more than enough. I'd go crazy if I did that everyday. I need a social environment to go to. Plus, when I get off work I like laying on the couch and watching some sports or TV for a bit. When I work from home, I want to leave as soon as I'm...

    There are certainly $2500 guitars that have a large noticeable difference from $1000 guitars - especially in the acoustic realm. I'm talking about the $50,000 guitars that look cheesy and awful because they they have a pure silver dragon inlay. I understand '54 strat being that price due to...

    This album is top notch. I don't think it's better than Rated R, but I am willing to say it's on par with Songs for the Deaf. Now give us a Them Crooked Vultures album.
