    German

    Cases are tough for most native speakers of English to wrap their heads around. It really takesa lotof practice to get it to the point where it becomes more automatic.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    While it's likely she ignored your food in the window for a while, it's also possibly the cooks' fault. It used to happen to me quite frequently when I worked as a server: you have a table with 3 or 4 different dishes, and the cooks make 3 of them way too fast and they sit in the window for 10 -...

    German

    Yes, that's what I was referring to. The case technically changes for both the adjectives and nouns, but sometimes the form only changes for the adjective.

    German

    I don't have much experience with German, but just looking at it I'd assume it's an issue of using the proper case. I'm curious to hear what some resident German speakers say. Adjectives may change for the case even when nouns don't?

    Is El Pollo Campero worth going it? There's one in a kind of shady part of town (not far from the terrifying Popeyes, actually), and I've always been curious. I won't risk getting shot, raped, and/or mugged if it's garbage, though.

    I have severe arthritis in my left wrist so I can't even bend my wrist properly (and it's excruciatingly painful if I try) to do regular push ups, so I've always done them on my fists, which seems to work just as well.

    I was getting measured for a suit last night and the tailor measured me as a 34 waist. However, in order to get the pants to comfortably fit my ginormous quads we had to go up to a 38 inch waist and take it in.

    And what the fuck is wrong with chicken tenders as a recipe? Is it fancy? No. Is it hard to make? No. But it probably tastes a million times better than whatever fancy bullshit you cook up with your unpronounceable ingredients and silly cooking techniques.

    I'd love to have a real Chicago deep dish pizza. Around here we have Uno, and it claims to serve authentic Chicago deep dish, but I somehow doubt that because it's only like 1/2 inch deep and the individual pizzas are barely a meal.

    So I was wrong all about all pizza being the same. I went to some fancy-shmancy restaurant last night called Range; apparently it's done by some Top Chef star named Brian Voltaggio. Anyway, the pizza was absolutely fucking awful. It was paper thin--so much that when you picked it up it just...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I bought a Trek 7.1 about a month and a half ago. They had a 7.2 in stock but the difference in price was absurd, something like 450 versus 550+, and I didn't see/feel much of a difference. But yeah, I also upgraded from a really old Trek mountain bike and the difference between that behemoth...

    I love seeing restaurants/fast food places that clearly used to be Pizza Huts, but were retrofitted to become something else.

    Dude, where is my hair?

    I've been doing mine with the shortest guard on my set of clippers since high school. I've got a lot of thinning at the front-top of my head, so keeping it super short makes that unnoticeable. With a short guard it's extremely easy and only takes me 3 - 5 minutes.

    I don't consider myself a wine drinker, but I drink, on average, 3 - 4 glasses of red wine a week. I like wines that have more of a fruit flavor to them, and I'd suggest trying some Pino Noirs to get started. One of my favorite is Cavit Pino Noir because it's super easy to drink and doesn't have...

    I drink tons of black coffee (5+ cups a day, on work days) and it gives me explosive, liquidy shits for sure. Fortunately, I generally hit the gym first thing in the morning when I've only got a single cup in me, so it's not a problem. If I know I'm going to the gym later in the evening, I...

    Dude, where is my hair?

    If you shave it down and go for the Jason Statham look, make sure you hit the gym if you're a doughy/pudgy dude. The only way to look good as a fat bald guy is if you're basically a massive, leather-clad biker. Otherwise, you've gotta be somewhat fit to not look like a doofus.
