Perhaps…But let’s be honest, long term relationships mixed with alcohol inevitably leads to passive aggressive bickering every time. And yes I’m sure there are exceptions but more often than not it’s just way more enjoyable to not be the 3rd, 5th, 7th wheel etc..
Being at the bar and with couples who get drunk and just constantly fight in front of everyone else and make things super awkward is actually the worst…
Was driving to work a couple days before Hurricane Harvey hit and the radio host was asking people how they were preparing for the storm. This one guy calls in and says “I got me a bottle of Jim and a carton of lung darts so i’ll be fine”….I felt that.
The divorce rate in this country was 50% way before millennials started getting old enough to get married. But yea thanks NYT, it’s definitely millennials who fucked up marriage…
Worked the same job as Shellback for about 5 years. Going to sea was definitely the biggest love/hate relationship I’ve ever had. On one hand, the money, time off, traveling the world, and “cool factor” of working out there was awesome. On the other hand, it can get pretty brutal being away from friends, family, a social life etc. for long periods of time. Working ashore now, and it’s nice to be able to go home every night, but I’d be lying if i said I didn’t miss being out there. The grass is always greener I suppose.
Shellback – Thanks for getting our industry a little pub and good luck with the Pilots. That’s the dream.
19th Hole can get bent. When Tiger is winning, golf is better. And i know he’s 42 but if he had one more major win in him, that would make this has been (never was) pretty god damn happy.

Would love to find some sort of practical use for this knowledge but haven’t gotten laid since Nam.

Congrats on the sex, Steam.

Fact: Breakups are never “mutual”, Eric.
Grow up, Peter Pan.
Showing up to a first date completely blacky chan….it would appear fortune doesn’t always favor the bold
Almost wasn’t sure what I was wearing tonight.
Problem solved…
Step 1. Black out. Remember Nothing.
Step 2. Deal with repercussions at later date.
Agree with Pacifico being #1 but putting Tecate & Modelo ahead of Dos is just a preposterous move.
Big fan of the binary system myself…But dear god don’t use it to choose your spouse.
That John Denver is full of shit, man.
Great take. Weddings/bachelor party weekends with old friends are fucking awesome.
If you Sunday Funday frequently these are actually referred to as the Tuesday Scaries. Also not ideal..

Ahh yes sounds like a standard Sunday night after a rough weekend. Basically on a first name basis with the demons at this point.

Yes, yes I would.
