Displaced Chicagoan now residing in Beer City, USA. Can be found on the weekends shooting a round of golf, sipping craft beer, or getting way too worked up over Chicago sports teams.
Hmm, I could get a $700 iphone or I could get an Android with the same specs for half the price that also has a headphone jack, an SD card slot, and more apps. Tough choice.
Nice! Yep, I also saw them this past year and they were just as awesome as ever. Might have tired going for it if I were a few more beers deep. Sober me knows that I’m not a fit college guy anymore and that it would have ended very poorly.
This event sounds like a blast and reading this brought back memories of seeing NFG live at Northerly Island and crowd surfing for the first time. I hope this bar also threw in some Offspring classics because if not they’re doing it wrong.
Great choice with the pickleback shots. I was introduced to them by my rec league softball team who has a long standing tradition of doing them after getting annihilated by an opponent. I now do them willingly whenever the opportunity presents itself.
I had the exact same thing happen with my crew in Detroit this weekend. Before walking from our hotel to a bar, everyone except for one person grabbed their coats. We obviously gave him a hard time as he looked to be absolutely freezing his ass off during the 10 minute walk (it was 10 degrees out). Best part about it was that the bar had a coat check that cost a buck. I guess if you want to put yourself through that kind of misery to save a dollar that’s fine but I’ll take being warm and not miserable any day of the week. #TeamCoatToTheBar
Grand Rapids checking in here. Thrilled to see it make the list (or maybe I shouldn’t be because the more people that move here the more my rent will go up). I live and work in the heart of downtown and absolutely love it. The job market is growing, the nightlife is killer, and the cost of living is very affordable. I’ve also traveled a decent amount and in my opinion the hipster population isn’t nearly as bad as other places I’ve been. Only bad part is the massive amounts of lake-effect snow during the winter but being from the Midwest it didn’t take that much adjusting.
Brad, I want to say thank you. Ever since Duda left there has been a real lack of articles with shitstorm-inducing hot takes and with this one you’ve really outdone yourself. Keep it up, the comment sections are entertaining as hell.
While many of my colleagues have their work email connected to their phones, I absolutely refuse. I’m fine with busting my ass during the work week but I have to draw the line somewhere for my own sanity. And based on my glowing annual review I don’t think it has had any effect.
If you mean underrated as the worst Christmas song of all time, I could not agree more. Every time I hear that song on the radio I want to scream at George Michael to get the fuck over himself and stop being a twat during the holidays.
My go to choice for house parties nowadays is Bush Signature Copper Lager. Grocery stores in my area sell it at 8 bucks for a twelve back of bottles and it’s light enough that it won’t fill you up but will still get you fucked up. It’s a slightly more respectable choice than bud light but also won’t break the bank and tastes decent.

“So why do you want to work here?”….
“BECAUSE I NEED MONEY. I NEED CASH. IT’S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I’VE HAD A DECENT MEAL.”
I’m all for it. I can attest to both so feel free to cite me as a source.

Yea thought this was going to be a lot more drastic. Practically everyone puts dumb shit in their yearbook quote.
You must be fun at parties.
Time to bust out the ol’ SWOT analysis.

Whenever I’m in the mood for some cheap wine I call upon my buddy Charles Shaw and we chill all night.
Seriously, how many lawsuits will it take to make this clear?
I am the 5 o’clock shadow guy because no matter what I do, I can’t grow my beard beyond that. PGP
Thanks for putting west Michigan on the radar with the reference. Can confirm that there are some bomb distilleries around here.
*agree…god damn it
