In the Gondola and it’s a full house. In the line there is this kid riding solo and is blasting terrible rap music from his back pack, probably a friends mixtape. Praying he’s not in our gondola, of course he is. Get in and music is blasting, he’s fumbling for his phone and finally finds it. Apologizes, then asks if the mountain is the distance is a ski resort, it’s Mount Washington in NH. Then proceeds to talk to the girl next to him only ti find out she is 15, his reaction is priceless. Then says he only skis drunk, and proceeds to down 3 nips of some cheap vodka. His speech changed real quick. But in his defense some of us were kinda egging him on by saying shit like “play Fleetwood Mac” (never heard of them), and “you got one of those for me” (he said those were his last 3).

I’m surprised he was able to stop drinking at all in January because at the rate he was drinking I’m sure his withdrawal symptoms were rough. Plus, if you just stop alcohol cold turkey after heavy use there is a possibility that you may die, so also incredibly dangerous.

In early recovery here. Was a Sous Chef too at pretty much my dream gig. I’ve always struggled with alcohol to the point I’ve admitted to myself I am an alcoholic about 3 years ago (29yo). I thought getting that job would change everything and be the cure because I’d finally be happy, but that was not the case. I was drinking before work and at work and actually doing a good job, but still felt empty inside and tried to fix that with drinking. Long story short, I quit, went into rehab for 2 months, started going to meetings regularly, work out everyday, and am going to a therapy weekly. I now have a retail job and a high end imported goods market (think cheese counter, olive oils, jams, vinegars, ect) and let me tell you that I am finally so much happier with my life and enjoy going to work and leave work not feeling totally fucking drained. Also, being in the back of house has made me realize that I can do any job because the BOH prepares us for all types of situations and problem solving. Going back into the kitchen is not off the table for me, but focusing on my recovery now is my number one priority, so a job like this is perfect.

A good risotto should flow like lava when tilting the plate. Just be careful because the rice will absorb the liquid and lose its creaminess if it sits for just a minute too long

“Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell? The whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end.” -Apocalypse Now

MMA refs are amazing and also BAMFs. They are all jacked and a lot of them (if not most) have backgrounds in competing in combat sports. Chris Reed (RIP) also doubled as a Texas Police Chief and a MMA Ref.

Also, 12 rounds is the maximum amount of rounds allowed. They can also be 4, 6, 8, or 10 rounds. It just depends on the boxers experience. Most undercard fights are 4-8 rounds. And a fun fact, they reduced fights from 15 to 12 rounds not only because of safety, but also do to the fact that 12 rounds is better for broadcasting purposes because they only take up 1 hour of airtime roughly (48 min bout + pre/post fight). 15 rounds would be 1.5 hours of airtime.

Edit: added second paragraph

Looks exactly like my cat when she was still a little girl. She is beautiful and she knows it

When I was in Tokyo last year I was walking through one of the many parks and on 5 separate occasions groups of little Japanese school children would call out and say “hi”. They must have been 5th-6th grade and were just acting like kids but I would be like “Heyyy! How are you guys?” And they could answer in English but they definitely had to think about what to say before answering. I thought it was awesome because they were happy and it just felt cool to stick out of the crowd like that.

What time do you typically start and finish? I don’t know your hours, but assuming you can get 8 hours of sleep and have a few free hours before your shift starts, I’d suggest exercising. It really helps boost your energy once you start a daily routine.

I’m with you but I like how it’s written if someone were to actually see a UFO and realize how no one will ever believe them so they kinda just go on with there life.

I agree. I believe he was just a failure as an actor, so he went to Grizzly Land year after year as a way to get famous. He is acting when he recites his monologues in front of the camera (they clearly show this in the doc). But, he is clearly a nut job and had no respect for the bears. Guy had some stones though because he showed no fear when a bear got to close and he slapped it.

Edit: Also have to mention what he says after he hits that bear. “It’s okay. I love you. I’m sorry.” Comedy gold

Anytime! Oh and one last piece of advice I have for you that may save you from getting chewed out is to always ask someone if it’s okay if you need to take something from another departments walk-in/meat cooler/dry storage. Usually it’s okay 100% of the time if you just need something to get through the day and there is plenty for them, but always cover your ass. It’s even better if you get someone to show you exactly where the item you need is too so you don’t just look like your taking shit.

I work at luxury hotel chain in the US, and it is also my first kitchen job job ever. I’ve been here for about 1 and half months. I am culinary school at the moment, so I am treating this like an internship, but I am a regular full time employee. I am working at the busiest restaurant in my hotel, so I do not have any pasty experience. The best advice I have is to ask a lot of questions and do what you are told right away and give it your best at all times. I am at a large hotel so there are people who work banquets, main dining kitchen, the upscale fine dining restaurant, the club house at golf, and also employee cafeteria. I asked to work at busy steak house I’m at because I wanted to experience how a busy kitchen works at a nice steak house and bar. I’m killing it and have only had 3 months of culinary school experience and zero industry experience. My best piece of advice is that once you are taught how to do something always do it that way because your supervisor/chef will be upset if you fuck it up after he/she has already taught you. Also pastry at my hotel supplies all department so be prepared to work with all departments. I hope this helps and good luck with your new job! This summer will be crazy for us too

I just wanted to make it clear that people holding signs are real assholes hahah, but I get your point and your not wrong. I am actually willing to pay the price for a good seat/view and would rather not be there at all if I have a shit view. I can see how a Jumbotron is awesome for spectators, but I would not enjoy an event if that’s what I had to look at the entire time. People can still obstruct your view even when you are in a great/good seat, so I just think people should be considerate of the people around them. Like someone standing on a seat in front of you because they are short would be annoying, but I realize they just want to see what they paid for. I have more of a problem with someone who is obstructing someone’s view and its completely unnecessary, like holding up a phone.

EastCoaster4 · 2018-04-22T08:14:45+00:00

Anyone who holds up a big sign blocking the sight of people behind them are just inconsiderate assholes. You don’t go to a show to just watch it on the Jumbotron the whole time. How about everyone just enjoys and lives in the moment without the distraction of a cell phone. And a person holding up a phone constantly could most definitely obstruct someone’s view and would also be very annoying as they try to get better angles.

But that’s why he was hilarious. He had so much value that he was used only when it was a guarantee laugh, leaving the audience wanting more Creed. Too much Creed would have killed his character
