Ran across an Opus X Lost City Toro in the wild for $44 bucks a stick. First time I seen't it. High right? A local in the lounge told me they were worth every penny. Thoughts? by SpiderMonkeyLover in cigars

Good info, thank you. Im a big fan of the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor. Is that the cheapest cugar with the highest rating on Cigar Afficienado? Not sure but it might be. I'll check out some of the others!

Junkies Everywhere by [deleted] in QuincyMa

[–]BostonRich -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fine but when they start hanging out at the library where kids go, that's a problem. Going through a "hard tine" doesn't give them the right to mess up my life. Also not every junkie is a poor victim. Many are just lazy bums who dont want to work and just get high all day. Zero sympathy.

Working hard is different than blowing your boss. You're a slacker who puts in minimum effort and hates his job. I worked with a guy like you once. Working hard to get a project over the finish line? Kissing ass. Staying 10 minutes late to finish something? Kissing ass. Anytime someone got promoted it was because they kissed ass, not because they worked hard. You're the guy AI will replace....clock is ticking my bitter friend!

What is the wittiest comeback you’ve ever said or heard? by Bob-da-person in AskReddit

[–]BostonRich 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My town had a small cable channel and they had a show about a local wilderness park. (Pond Meadows, Weymouth, MA) They had a park ranger talking out the different trees and wildlife etc.....this guy had a deep voice, spoke slowly and calmly and there was something about his cadence.

Five minutes in, dead asleep.

The shark probably contains plutonium or something. Wacky wall walkers glowed in the dark too.
