The diner in Tulsa puts a pinch of salt in the grounds before brewing, and I can't decide if that's genius or a crime

People keep saying "too soon" like there's a clock on grief, and I think that's the joke we're all missing

Can we talk about how I was sure vinyl was just hipster noise until I heard Dark Side of the Moon on my dad's old turntable?

Shoutout to the pawn shop guy in Tulsa who sold me a $3 copy of Spy Hunter for the NES

Too slow" is funny since I read that game holds up better than most racers today.

A judge at the Smoke on the Square contest in Abilene told me my ribs were "confusing," and he was right

Man, maybe the honey was masking your rub's real flavor and the judge caught what you couldn't taste anymore.

Update: I used to top trees for clearance, then I watched a job in Boise go wrong in 2 seasons

Had a Boise crew top a silver maple in 2019

Rant: watched a barista in Portland pull my shot at 18 grams in 14 seconds and I haven't trusted a drive thru since

Did he even look at the shot after pulling it or just hand it over like nothing was wrong? That part gets me more than the timing, because a 14 second gusher is obvious to anyone who's been behind a bar for a week. Did you say anything to him or just take the loss and drink your sad cardboard?

Warning: My bank locked my card over a $6.75 coffee in Dayton and it took 9 days to fix

Had this exact thing happen at a gas station in Kettering over a $4.12 bottle of water. Card got shut down on the spot and the guy behind the counter just stared at me like I was trying to pull something. Took me four calls and two trips to the bank because apparently nobody there could figure out why a tiny charge looked shady. The kicker was my mortgage payment went through fine the same week, so their fraud system has some real backward ideas about what's risky. Two weeks of my life gone over water and coffee money.
