Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Aalborg Akvavit

Way too expensive, for less than that you can get two liters of vodka

From Talk

Out of the Express Line if you have more than 10 items, please!

I have no problem with elderly people taking forever, we will all be elderly someday.

What fills me with disgust is the "I can't be bothered to count my items" people.

The whole point of a line with an enumerated maximum is to COUNT YOUR ITEMS. If you can't be bothered to count your items, then there are other lines available to you, they are called the NOT EXPRESS lines.

It is very simple, if you do not want to go to the trouble of counting your items, DO NOT go into the express line. The express line is for people who DO go to the trouble to count their items.

Sometimes when I'm in line and the person ahead of me has more than 10 items I think about winding up and punching them as hard as I can right in the spot where the neck connects to the skull.

Sugar=The Devil?

I think it varies from person to person, for some it is the devil, for others it is not a problem.

I eat fruit but avoid fruit juice and fruit smoothies. Fruit juice is like eating 5 pieces of fruit all at once.

Out of the Express Line if you have more than 10 items, please!

My pet peeve is when the person in front of my refuses to put their item on the conveyor belt, they hold onto their can of beans for dear life ... in the meantime my shopping basket is getting heavy and I would like to put MY items on the conveyor belt.

Eventually I get tired of waiting, put my items on the belt and the cashier moves the belt forward and starts ringing up my items ... in the meantime the person in front of me is still clutching her can of beans like she is afraid a gang of pirates is going to steal her beans.

The supermarket needs to put up signs that say "Please Place Items On Conveyor Belt" cause some people just don't get it.

Barrel-Age Your Own Cocktails for $10

I know I am supposed to like barrel-aged booze and I have often pretended to like it, but the truth is I don't get it.

I guess oak trees are less sappy than pine trees, which is why you don't see pine-tree-aged booze. What exactly does wood taste like? And what makes the wood of an oak tree preferable to the wood of other species of trees?

Does the maturity of the oak tree in question make a difference?

I would think that wood tastes like wood.

Tipping for Carry Out?

I generally don't put money in jars, if it is a situation where I tip I hand the money to the person I am tipping (or hand the credit card slip to them).

The very presence of the jar tells you "This is not a normal tipping situation," cause if it was a normal tipping situation, they wouldn't need the jar ... there is no tip jar on your table in a restaurant.

I make exceptions for places open on Thanksgiving or Christmas, then I'll put some money in the jar.

What's Your Drunk Pizza of Choice?

@jkaww: I remember Pinocchio's from 1979, spent the summer in Cambridge. Good to see they are still there. It was the summer I discovered beer and other adult beverages so we ate many of their pizzas.

Also Bob Marley played a concert in Cambridge that summer. Which also resulted in eating many of their pizzas.

Paleo Diet?

@Leo ... that may be true but when I am running my legs prefer to burn glucose

From Talk

Paleo Diet?

Paleo tends to be a version of low carb, imo it's good for losing weight but once you are physically active I think it is necessary to eat more starch for energy.

Pizza Madness: Pizza In a Jar

Looks like a jar of balm to me, something you would put on a burn that your crazy grandmother made you use when you were a kid, and every Christmas she still gives you a jar of that balm that smells terrible and you throw in in the garbage can as soon as she's out of the house.

Tipping for Carry Out?

A tipping thread!

I tip 10% on carry out in a RESTAURANT, if it's just a counter (i.e. carry out is all they do) then I don't tip.

Fast Food: McDonald's Chicken McBites

When I was young me and my college roommate went on a 1,000 mile road trip, along the way there was nothing to eat but McDonalds and we got some McNuggets, it was nothing but horrible gas the rest of the way, we were scheduled to spend the night at a friend's house but decided there was no way we could present ourselves given our condition, you can't very well spend the night at someone's home and stink up the joint, we bought some Malox tablets and ate 10 or 12 of them, it did the trick though we felt out of sorts for days afterwards.
