Re: Hangovers

On a more serious note, I read somewhere, many moons ago, that the villain in the hangover war is sugar content. The higher the sugar content of the beverage, the worse the pain next day. Does anyone know if this is true? I've heard that too. Not sure how true it is, but I've definitely heard it.

Re: Ode to Server

Okay, so I am a waitress. Tonight my coworker got tipped .75 cents on a 51$ tab, this is stereotypical for the individuals. But seriously how the hell is someone really going to do that? If you can't afford to tip someone 15 percent at least.. why go out to eat. Unless the server sucked (which I kn...

Done.

Awesome, thank you.

I am. And I actually like some of it better.

As a grad student, I've had to buy them for a while. I used to find the vast majority were inferior (there were exceptions of course) but lately that has changed and I find that I really like many of the generic products.

Re: LTE 2.0

It just seems like there weren't a lot of the fun, lite posts for an extended period. I'm not saying that the serious posts don't have a place. They're fine. I just start getting depressed when I leave for several hours and come back, and they cover 9/10 new posts since I left. That's all. %%- But ...

Re: The Official Anna Paquin Appreciation Thread

I don't know anyone that would refer to themselves as Chinese in this context. I think that cultural heritage plays a huge role in nationality. I was born in Charleston, SC but I was raised by parents who grew up in Durham. I consider myself a proud North Carolinian. I think this analogy scales up ...

Re: Tea Parties

I share your opinion that it is reasonable to set conditions of loan. But how does that preclude Obama from being a socialist? President Obama does not represent a private entity issuing a loan, he is a democratically elected official that is playing a huge part in the means of production for GM. T...

Re: Tea Parties

I believe one could make an argument that any president that can force out CEOs might, at the very least, lean a little more towards the socialist side. I disagree. He didn't demand that a CEO be let go. What he did was say that, if you want money from us, then that person must go. He didn't initia...

Re: Hangovers

Ymmm, Irn Bru. Actually, it tastes like a metallic, non-sweet cream soda, not my favorite. I think it tastes more like a combination of ginger ale and orange pop. Definitely an acquired taste. Actually, IIRC, Scotland is the only country in which Coke is available where it is outsold by another pop...
