I know that you gotta pay your dues and all that, but as long as a bris is the price of admission, I’ll have to keep watching this particular sport from the sidelines, I’m afraid. 😁 Priceless. 🤣

Perky…

No need to get personal, man. That’s my job! 😒

No, because it’s not a full-time position. Just Mondays through Thursdays somewhere around 8pm. If I need flushing outside these times, I need to walk five minutes to get to the community outhouse that’s hidden away on the other end of the property. And god beware if the “contents” that need...

Not to state the obvious, but I frickin’ LOVE it. I’m eagerly awaiting the day I’ll be given the non-optional opportunity to pay someone to flush the god-damned crapper for me.

Had a chance to see Dave Holland live in Cologne. It was on November 11, 2006. Why do I remember that date like it was yesterday? Because it was my future wife's and I's first date. (We had dinner at Mongo's in Cologne-Deutz after the concert. Fantastic restaurant that still exists pretty much...

Oh god, don't get me started on the utter lack of recycling receptacles around this apartment community… 😒

It's one of the great disappointments in my life that I'm not even the slightest bit jewish, but I can kvetch with the best of them. ✌️😎

[rant level=11] I've been a renter all my adult life. I've never seen a roach infestation in my apartment, in common areas, or in apartments of friends or neighbors. Hotels and inns, yes. Apartments, no. I don't doubt for a second that your explanation could as well be one of the main...

So, my new apartment comes with a “feature” that’s pretty much the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a long time: A trash valet service. No, seriously. A valet service for your trash. Every Monday through Thursday night, you can put your trash-valet-service-provided trash can outside your apartment...

Same. I seriously hope I can get one for myself before Mazda completely nerfs the MX-5.

*om nom nom*

Thank you for sharing this. It scratches an itch I had since the original Jazzkantine lineup went away almost two decades ago.

Jew audiobook releases come with copious amounts of extra kvetching, obviously. As any book or other work of fiction and non-fiction should, if you asked me. You don't have to be jewish to know: Kvetching is the spice of life.

Let's see how long it takes until someone here checks Urban Dictionary for "pushing rope." Would lend a whole new layer to the above conversation… Sorry, I'll show myself out. 😏

For legal reasons: He's most definitely not. ;p

I've lived in "downtown" Bonn for a little over a year, and I've visited Bakersfield more often than I care to admit. Bonn is surprisingly green and woodsy, and Bakersfield has great food (or so I've been told). But that's just about where the similarities to San Antonio end, I'd say. But then...

I'd like you to consider the possibility that even my longer posts were, in fact, the drastically shortened versions of what's usually going on in my head. You couldn't handle the unabridged schiit. 😎

I must have adapted. I grew up in a corner of this world where they cancelled the rest of the school day when the thermometer rose above 85ºF. Nowadays, that's just another day for me. 100ºF with >50% humidity is where I draw the line, though. I'm not a hero. 🤣

Drove around San Antonio proper for a little bit today. Cute little town! Kinda like what you’d get when you crossbred LA with Berlin, I suppose.

I don't think it has been addressed specifically. But I've never heard them mention that it would not be dedicated, so I'd strongly assume that it is. If it were merely a feature of some other product, it would have been pointed out by now.

In der Kürze liegt die Würze. (lit. “in brevity lies the spice”)

Approximately? So there’s a non-zero chance for you to end up disappointed. Disappointed. Disappointed… Dis-appointed… Removed from a prior appointment? That makes absolutely no sense. 😒
