O.T. Important things (to some folks) but not to others

You have to sit facing the door of the restaurant. Otherwise some hombre with bad intentions might come in and gun you down before you know what's happening. I learned this in Kansas in the 1880s.
My dad taught me the same thing with I was a young lad. I've never sat with my back to the door since.
My dad tought me that the goverment is tracking me and will arrest me and take me to a 'black location' in another country. So I've never had a cell phone, only take under the table jobs, ride the rails, and only use cash so they can't find me.
Smart.
quite as crazy as it sounds.
1984 was not an instruction manual damnit!!
/tinfoil off
a few times and it is amazing to me how many times I stop and think "that is really not a whole lot different from the good ole USA at this very moment."
There are some Orwellian parallels to "1984", but I would posit that "Animal Farm" is even closer to what we see today. However, if you really want to have your mind blown, read "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Huxley wrote that book in 1931 (published in 1932) but it reads like he wrote the social commentary, I mean book, last week . . .
A gramme is better than a damn, after all.
A metaphorical tip of my hat to you for that rejoinder. Talk about being hoist by my own petard . . .
Okay, now that I’ve used up my “word of the day” calendar entries for this week, I can say “well done!” :)
called Soma? A muscle relaxant with some euphoric/anxiolytic effect...
Sorry. I only read Shakespeare.
A bit OT for what has been posted, but I'd recommend anyone who is a fan of Aldous Huxley's work take a minute to read his wife's account of his death (in a letter addressed to his brother). I thought it was completely riveting and in a weird way, fitting.

If it wasn't for that subcutaneous transmitter we put in you.
...is it you?
in the not too distant past. and kevlar vests. and stopping at exits and simply watching for a while before actually exiting. and license plates, remembering others and not having any for years. and some other stuff, but this is a sports blog.
I never stare directly into the campfire at night. Night vision is critical if I need to use the steel.
But looking back at the bathroom and facing the font door didn't do shit for Sollozzo or McCluskey.
be it a restaurant or saloon. I sat with back to door playing cards one night and was shot from behind. I think I might have won the hand, holding Aces and 8s. After that, I had cosmetic surgery done, shot the motherfucker who shot me and am still living in Somewhere, Brazil at an advanced age of 165 years. The fucking shit that grows in the jungles here make it almost impossible to get a softy or die. So little things don't bother me as much as they did in towns like Deadwood and the like.

I could care less what that tempting response may be.
I could care less that you could care less what that tempting reponse may be. I also could care less about any response to this response to your response. Amen.
Irregardless of whether you could care less or more, should you.
"irregardless"
...honorable mention to people who include apostrophe's in their plural word's.
When a person assumes that someone is incorrect by saying "could care less" because they like to nit pick and be right, but in reality that someone actually does mean that they care to some degree and therefore could care less.
Big or small. Both are fine.
/leg man
I don't know, time and gravity can cause havoc....
I have a damn funny response to this, but I can't figure out how to phrase it without making myself sound like a total scumbag.

Something very important to me that most people don't give two shits about: Where you and your wife sit at restaurants. In fact, I chart the location of every meal you eat. Weird hobby....
I know where you are, silly. You don't need to tell me! Crazy name they just called to report to the "Paging Assistance Location", wasn't it?!
I can't even imagine. I couldn't entertain that. I'd be like, "I'm ordering, you can do what you want." I love being single.
...I'm finding myself to be curious about your wife's rules for what constitutes an appropriate and "fun" table.
What are the criteria? Or is her level of table satisfaction random and/or subject to whims and changing preferences?
I need a picture of this so-called chart. Do you have floor plans to all of the establishments you have patroned? Do you draw them on a napkin and file it away? I'm quite intrigued as to what you use this data for, or what it means...
Pants. I just don't understand why everyone insists on wearing pants. I don't think they are very important, but for some reason people, especially parents and police, seem to freak out when I don't where pants while just minding my own buisness like going grocery shopping or running through the park. So I just gave up and now just usually wear pants. Still doesn't make any sense to me though.

care if people wear their shoes into my house(unless there is like obviously dog crap on them) and I don't get why some people freak out about it;
2. I really don't freak out if I spot a hair in my food at restaurants, I mean it happens, just move it out of your food and start grubbing;
3. I don't hate "participation rewards" for very young children in sports. People are all "When I was that age I only got a medal if I won!" Whatever dude, they are 5 years old, give them a medal so they can have something shiny;
4. I don't not do things because it is too hot. Some of my friends in the summer are like "I don't want to play golf on Friday, it is going to be like 90 degrees." It just doesn't bother me.
Definitely agree on 1&2, and as a bit of a tangent to 2, I love to cook, and if I open up something like flour and I see it has bugs and I don't have any other flour, I'll just sift them out and use it. Won't serve it to anyone else out of respecting their wishes, but it's just extra protein.
