Another perk: tech also typically draws a much younger crowd. Nobody from our parents’/grandparents’ generation that asks entry level employees how to use Microsoft Office.
Okay, you’ve absolutely got me there, I couldn’t even imagine having to suffer through that. I’d take a date with an accountant over that option any day of the week.
#18 don’t talk ad nauseam about work when you’re out on the date. We want to know vague details about what you do, and perhaps even interesting things that happened at work, but the moment you start talking about performance metrics or use a marketing buzzword, our eyes have glazed over. We get it, we are all slogging through the same corporate grind, but leave it there.
I’ve been on two dates in the past month that decided to do this, it wasn’t even on my radar before — seriously, please don’t.
In love with the Papa John’s picture. Papa John is such a hot, drunken mess all over town. If you happen to run into him when he’s lit up (which is most of the time), he’s normally carrying $10 Papa John’s gift cards and will hand them out. He’s like a drunk pizza gift card leprechaun. It’s incredible.
My Glock 27 is not the most enjoyable thing to shoot, but since I work downtown, I can keep it in my purse or glove box (safely, with a custom-fit trigger guard), and that’s what matters. If someone tries to attack me from close range (as you’d assume would be the situation), I know it will put sizable holes in said attacker. That is its purpose — to save my life and to be portable, although I haven’t been put in the situation (and I hope to God that I never will). So, does it shoot like dogshit? Kinda yeah, although I still shot 20 for 20 with it for my CCDW, though that is by no means a difficult accomplishment. Does it serve the purpose that I want it to? Also yes.
The point of owning a gun for self-defense is not necessarily to enjoy shooting it.
“Single barrel” means just what you think it would: all of the bourbon in the bottle you purchase is from the same barrel. “Small batch” is a loose term — meaning they commingle a small number of barrels to capture a certain flavor profile. Distilling is the process that begets what some bourbon makers sell as “white whiskey” — basically more similar to moonshine than bourbon. Distilling is the least difficult part of the process. Bourbon has the variation it does because every barrel has different qualities that are ultimately out of the distiller’s control — due to changes in temperature while the bourbon ages (the harsher the winter and hotter the summer, the better — which is why KY is where most of the stuff is housed: we have every season, but on steroids). Single barrel is more expensive and more rare because it’s difficult to find one barrel that has all of the qualities of the flavor profile of a particular brand. That said, Eagle Rare (out of Buffalo Trace) is my favorite, and a great value for a 10 yr single barrel.
Agreed. If I spend a decent amount of money on some unnecessary item from your registry at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, the very least you can do is provide me with free whiskey as I drink the loneliness away.
Agreed. If you don’t think I can’t see right through the fact that you’re interviewing in an H&M suit, you’re delusional. Finance is a world full of douchebags, and if you can’t hang, that’s a personal problem.
No matter how pants-shittingly drunk I am, I will always tear up at the bugler playing My Old Kentucky Home. God bless this wonderful state.
Also if you pay $2000 for a Woodford mint julep, congrats, you’re a tourist.

that Bakken shale, though.
Talk loudly about how glad you are that you moved and got out of your hometown when at least 90% of everyone at the reunion still lives there.
God bless them for serving our country, but all of the military guys from Fort Knox that I’ve encountered on Tinder are serious creeps.

As if anyone needed another reason to live in the south.

UK is always worth hating. Although, since 80% of the state is comprised of UK fans, this has to mean that even UK fans hate UK football.

Thankful that I’m early enough in my postgrad life to not have had to put together an MoH speech yet. Sounds like a less-than-stellar time regardless.

For #1, I would say either the guy would need to have 3/5 “man interests” or eliminate sex as an interest. Because who doesn’t like sex?
#16 extends to not only my family, but to anyone with a country accent, including clients. Sigh.

It’s difficult to take someone who actually uses the term “feminazi” seriously.
