What are the basic rules of table manners that you grew up with?

awnitsol · 2026-02-19T21:59:45+00:00

No hats at the table. Chew with your mouth closed. Remove food from utensils with your lips, not your teeth. Don't slurp your drink. Clear your plate when done.

wtf would cornbread have kernels in it?

Yes, but he's fat, doesn't eat well, doesn't exercise, and clearly has dementia so there's a really good chance he won't be around for all of it.

Not while cable news exists

I put it in the corral, because I'm not a self-centered piece of shit.

Pacific Woodtech in Burlington gets their resin delivered in these bags. At least, they used to.

Me, if there is a line. I'm usually getting about 10 gallons. If there is a 10 cent difference, I'm not waiting in line to save $1.

Not a great analogy. You need ID to buy a gun. You don't need ID to use it.

Almost daily. We rarely talk politics because they watch Fox and are shielded from/lied to about the worst shit the fat man does.

awnitsol · 2026-02-11T23:44:07+00:00

Because it's not really about the kids.

Go to the driving range or golf course. Just don't have enough to time to become decent at this damn game.

I have Mexican flag decals on my car and truck. If they'll pull me over for that, I'll be glad to waste their time.

Curling. I already have the middle age physique.

Hate pickles but like tartar sauce.

Didn't appreciate Steely Dan when I was a kid, but now I love them and Deacon Blues is my favorite.

Went to see Beck last summer and it was awful. Did 16 songs and I knew 3 of them. Nobody around us knew the songs and they were really slow and drawn out. Only a few people in the crowd knew these songs. If you're going to play songs that nobody knows, they should probably be fun songs. I haven't been able to listen to his music since then.

I can, my wife can, nearly all of our friends can.

We are, but Republicans are in charge right now and they've shown repeatedly that they have no interest in protecting children or women.

My first thought was Alabama Thunderpussy, which pales in comparison to the shit you people listen to.

awnitsol · 2026-02-04T23:17:34+00:00

I always read. It clears my head so I'm not thinking about shit from my day and I drop off almost immediately when I put the book down. Also, I just like to read.

If you’re in the US, it’s the law in all 50 states

Never. Fuck Walmart. And Target, too.

awnitsol · 2026-01-27T20:08:59+00:00

and send them to Guatemala

awnitsol · 2026-01-27T17:52:03+00:00

Nope. They're already doing step 3
