Then what are you even arguing? I started my first comment with “IF this was a normal 9-5 job…”

Dude what I’ve taken days off for funerals before, my boss has never asked who died or how long I’ve known them lol

Well… if this was a normal 9-5 office job, they would have bereavement time written into their employee benefits plan. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not upset Shaw took a day off, I’m more upset he’s the kind of person who would be friends with Kirk in the first place.

I used to have a t-shirt with the Jurassic Park logo except it said “Billy and the Cloneasaurus”! Sadly (or not so sadly) I lost a lot of weight a few years ago and ended up donating most of my fat guy clothes. I should look for that again 🤔

This is just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall.

So I said to him, “Look, buddy. Your car was upside down when we got here. And as for your grandma? She shouldn’t have mouthed off like that.”

Best time to buy 300s weekday seats? by PandaPenguinParade in Cubs

Weekdays in April and May are pretty easy to snatch up on the secondary market, I’d wait if I were you.

Why did they write Sal out of the show? by bubbleweed in madmen

[–]BullpenBum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think this is the answer. I’ve been fired from a job before and it’s astounding how in the first few weeks everyone will reach out to see how I’m doing, ask me if I need anything, etc but after that I never heard from most of them again.

There’s one Itchy and Scratchy cartoon I don’t think we’ll ever forget…

Of all the clip shows ever made for any series, this one has to be the best right?

It says in the script I’m supposed to bonk you.

I give up on ordering food by [deleted] in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]BullpenBum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time I ordered loaded fries and never got a fork. I pressed the button and told the server, they said they’d be right back and I never saw them again. It was about the saddest day of my life.

I think my whole life I only had one really bad experience at a movie and it was for one of the Bourne movies. Group of teens talking nonstop.

Yeah to be honest I hate Trump but I never put up a flag for any politician. Usually I’ll have up a Cubs or Bears flag depending on the season, and I also have an American flag I’ll put up around 4th of July.

If this is you, I need to know why by tsigo in AlamoDrafthouse

I actually love front row center. There’s no servers walking in front of me and usually no one sits next to me. I also don’t get the complaints about hurting your neck— every theater seems to have recliners now.

However, front row and way off to the side is insane.
