    Yeah, and even real dragons (like actual goddamn dragon animals) got burned up by the extreme heat during the Doom of Valyria (according to the World of Ice and Fire and some anecdotes). Martin is not infallible and none of his words outside of the actual novels should be considered canonical.

    I love when my parents visit and they really enjoy seeing the sights. On the downside, they’re from the Midwest where you drive even if you’re just going two blocks to the grocery store, so they get tired of walking pretty quickly, despite being visibly in better shape than me.

    If the friend (even if they’re third-tier) is coming to town to check out the breweries and dispensaries I honestly never mind; if they’re coming to Denver and want to do every single goddamned outdoorsy activity possible and have me drive them and navigate, they can fuck right off.

  • PC_LoadLetter 9 years ago on Uber Is Leaving My City And Everything Is About To Change

    Most of us own cars; a bike does nothing to solve the problem of inebriation unless you want to end up getting one of the lamest DUIs ever *ching ching*. Besides boozing, I use Uber when I need to get somewhere real quick, and usually that doesn’t involve a goddamn bike.

  • PC_LoadLetter 9 years ago on What Your Douchey Car Says About You

    I can’t be much easier to park than a comparably-sized sedan. I do agree people won’t ask to help you move, but do people really ask to help you move in a sedan? If you were talking about a truck, sure, that’s a bitch, but I’m not going around asking people to move shit for their four-door passenger car or even in a normal-sized SUV. In fact, if you can’t afford to hire movers, at least rent a goddamn UHaul and do it yourself.

    Unless you drove a brand new Camaro when you were 19 (which means you’re a spoiled prick and had the poor taste to pick a Camaro out of ALL the cars your parents would have bought for you), you are driving an old-ass Camaro right now. You’re married at 24, so don’t worry though, you’ll be driving a minivan in no time.

    And please stop with the “engineer” braggadocio, I’m an engineer and half the people I work with are idiots. It’s remarkable how a person can understand differential equations and still be a dumbass.

  • PC_LoadLetter 9 years ago on The 5 Worst People On Your Flight

    I’m not sure that exact scenario makes a lot of spatial sense, but yeah, those people are the fucking worst. If the switch results in me getting an upgrade, sure, ask me; otherwise, eat shit.

  • PC_LoadLetter 9 years ago on The Dos & Don'ts Of Being A Bandwagon Fan

    I was raised that you get your fandom based upon geography of where you grew up. Despite the KC Chiefs and KC Royals not even being in Kansas, they were the only teams I ever cheered for growing up, because they were the closest. I live a few miles from Coors Field and Mile High now (suck it, Sports Authority), but I’m didn’t jump on the Broncos bandwagon. I enjoy some Rockies baseball and rock a baseball cap when I’m out and about, but only because the idea of them going to playoffs is laughable and I don’t want to be confused for a bandwagon Royals fan.

  • PC_LoadLetter 9 years ago on My Coworkers Bully Me Because I Don't Watch 'Game of Thrones'

    Game of Thrones is to nerds as craft beer is to beer snobs. They both have broad appeal and you don’t have to be a dweeb to like them. Side-note, if you’ve read all of A Song of Ice and Fire (the GoT books), you’re most definitely a nerd. I’ve watched the show and read the books in their entirety multiple times, so yeah, I’m definitely a nerd.

  • PC_LoadLetter 9 years ago on Can We Not With These Aggressive Craft Beer Names?

    Part of the extreme naming is one-upsmanship; the other part is that there are now so many breweries they’re running out of names. I for one thing that if you’re a brewery and you only make one beer of a given style, you should should just call it by the style, e.g. PC Load Letter Brewing Co. IPA instead of PC Load Letter Brewin’ Co. There is No Paper Jam IPA.
