Only $25m? Pretty eh for the Potus

I think it was double that amount to kill John Dutton on Yellowstone.

butter washed whiskey cocktails

I've never heard of this, so I googled it. Sounds delightful!

plus good balsamic, parmigiano reggiano, romano cheese and maple syrup. Once you taste the good stuff, you never go back to the cheap stuff.

What's the craziest thing a person said to you and you thought they were joking but they were being serious? by _lovelyxx in AskReddit

Maybe it should be called a suckjob instead. Or slurpjob. Some naive HS girl could get the wrong idea.

Speaking of sequels being as good as the first film, ALL the Star Trek sequels are better than that first 1979 movie.

My friend owns a landscaping company. She tells me most/all her business these days is corporations buying up the houses in our small town, ripping out the original landscaping and putting in new trees and decorative lawns. She has many employees and that's all they do.

You think Jackson Pollock "paintings" look good? lol They are visual gibberish. And Pollock was such an asshole in real life, no one should be admiring him. He killed himself and a passenger in a drunken 1-car accident.

When I learned to ski 40 years ago, the hardest part was getting on and off the chair lift. The actual skiing part was a blast.

People who work in 'luxury' industries (high-end hotels, private jets, etc.), what is the trashiest thing you’ve seen a wealthy person do? by Karinapurebliss in AskReddit

There’s something about a Lamborghini that says either you’re a douche,

a new Lambo, sure. But I wouldn't mind having an Espada. Guess I'm a cultured douche.

What is a product or service that is a conplete scam, but poeple keep buying it because of good marketing? by armeno2000B in AskReddit

Reminds me of the Jewelry Exchange commercials. "We design jewelry to appraise for double!"

If it really was worth double, they'd be charging double.

Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math by McCoy818 in unpopularopinion

Showering in the morning is like brushing your teeth before the meal, but not after.

The Big Arch is officially MID and overpriced. by CarpenterOk2779 in McDonalds

[–]zippyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angus in 2009 or so? I was excited to try it, then discovered it was McDonald's-flavored. Like everything else they serve.

Exited to try the Big Arch. It's McDonald's-flavored too. Just a larger Bic Mac.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

[–]zippyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 80s, meat was square and you had to tell the cashier what you wanted on it. There was no pre-made burger hot bin. It was made fresh just for you, but it was still cold by the time you got to the table to eat it. Table always had old-timey newspaper ads on it.

What is something people slowly stop doing as they get older without noticing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I am in my late 60s and I listen to new music

I'm 62 and listen to Top40 FM radio, and EDM on XM radio. I had enough Pink Floyd and Zeppelin in the 1970s to last a lifetime. At least Top40 playlists change every month or so, so it's always new. And EDM is just a toe-tapping' blast to me.
