I feel like we need more qualifying criteria for the douchebag bars question. Are we talking hipster d-bag spots, bro-ey tryhard d-bag spots, Girl/De Fries-style d-bag spots, or Duda style d-bag spots?
Tomorrow is Cesar Chavez Day. One of the few benefits of working for a state institution in California is that you get weird holidays like that off. So, definitely a liquid dinner somewhere in the Mission to celebrate followed by a late night drunken burrito and sleeping in as long as I god damn please tomorrow.
Due to my name/avatar being a fictional hockey player, I am clearly biased. However, you cannot possibly believe that football is the most exciting live sport. Every single non-hockey person that I have dragged to a hockey game has left amped up and ready to watch move live hockey. I get that it doesn’t translate to tv very well, and most people didn’t grow up around the game to know all the rules and nuaces, but every person who sees it live has a great time. Football is designed to be watched at home or in a bar, way too many stoppages and feels like half the time you are there they are showing replays on tv you don’t get to see in the stadium.
My go to line when you inevitably get asked, “Why are you all in suits?” is “Because Tokyo is waking up.” Pair that with a Lagavulin Distiller’s Edition, and you close.
In truth, it worked once, so I will stand by it forever now that I am engaged and can’t continue field testing it.
Big night. Riding my buddy’s coattails to a fundraiser at the St. Francis Yacht Club. No clue what’s on the menu, but it’s free food and drinks. Plus, there is an auction for things way out of my price range, so maybe I can make friends with some of the winning bidders to get more free crap out of this deal.
You have to talk this one out. I work as staff at a state university on the west coast. My fiance is a marketing big wig for a tech company. She makes roughly 4 times what I make. When we first started dating, it was definitely a bit embarrassing and a hit to my pride that I couldn’t be dropping bills on presents or really nice dinners aside from major events like her birthday. But mostly, that seemed to have been rooted in how I thought other people(her friends mostly) would view our relationship and not in how we actually worked and felt about it together. If you are serious about this guy, then you need to talk it out and find a good middle ground. She makes a lot more than me, but also has significantly more of a time commitment to her job. So, I am able to get home a couple hours before her and cook a nice meal every night and take care of the house, etc. If we have kids down the line, I will have more time to be with them instead of dumping them in daycare or after-school programs. While these areas certainly fall more under stereotypical “feminine” roles, it is still a way of providing for her. I wouldn’t say that makes me “woke” just that I had to re-frame how I view the ways in which I can be a provider for my fiance and our, hopefully, future family.
Also, if you play the teacher thing right, they can get great benefits in educational opportunities for you and your kids(not saying that this is any where on the horizon for you guys, but something to think about). But, my mom was teacher at a boarding school back home in Minnesota. On top of a free apartment on campus, free food, free golf, and unlimited access to an ice rink, she also got free tuition(~$30k a year each) for my brother, sister, and I. So that quickly bumped up her roughly $45k salary to well over $100k a year if you factor in what my parents didn’t have to spend money on. So, there is more to factor in that just base pay.
TL:DR talk about it. It might take some time for him to come around, but if you are seriously into each other, it will become less of an issue. If not, keep crushing your professional life and move on.
Brian, you never fail to bring some heat to get me through the Friday workday. I will say that leaving out some Less Than Jake is disappointing, but I can’t hate you for it. Have a great weekend!
Ah, the burner ring. Get some crappy $100 thing off Etsy that looks like something you think she will like, then go pick one out with her so she gets what she wants. My fiance’s friend was proposed to with one. Apparently, they were both roasted hard in the chick’s side-group text, but they have at least made it past the 2 year mark. He’s a Seahawks fan and she’s a Patriots fan though, so they already make questionable decisions.
I wouldn’t recommend it, but I guess to each their own?
Hey Brian, I know you are based in Texas, but do you happen to know any pros near San Francisco that you would recommend for a few lessons? Mostly looking to focus on shots from about 100-120 yards and in, but could use a little help with the slice on my drives too. Thanks man.
So, what do we do with the “Girl gets a Rose” squares? Should they be freebies? Or should I fill them in with one of the other options from the list not on that random board? I want to keep this game official, so I need your ruling Crick.
Went to Vegas for the holiday weekend. Didn’t do so well, so probably chips, salsa, and bourbon. Might melt some cheese on those chips if I feel fancy, and it hasn’t gone bad.
Look forward to your recaps every week. However, as a Minnesotan and big fan of the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous, I have to correct your perfect date. It’s April 25th, not 15th. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3w0eACxtoc
Solid reference though, and I will see myself out for being a pedantic loser.

Assuming Cheyenne is the waitress. What do you think the most common Hooter’s waitress name is?

Boneless wings are just chicken nuggets. Bone-in is the only way to go.
You probably should have followed that up with some sort of rebuttal about why New York doesn’t deserve the hatred, but to each their own, I suppose.

Well, I guess I’m falling into a YouTube hole to watch more of his videos. Looks bomb man, enjoy.

Well shit, De Fries. I never thought I’d agree with Girl, but Tipsy Pig’s back patio is pretty much “the perfect rosé sitch.” I hope she loses some street cred with her crew when she tries to take them to Mamacita’s and finds that it just closed.

So, I guess that Z pack worked pretty fast, eh?

Smoke breaks are the new recess. All you have to do to get that extra time is buy a pack.
