- My best friend tends to do it at Cheesecake Factory. -- nm - Ender Jun 3, 11:28 5
  - Wow. The way the seats are in rows... that is ballsy. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 11:30 4

Someone (apparently seriously) wrote this on to the WashingtonPost restaurant critic's Q&A today - prayformojo Jun 3, 11:22 7

    - The time I mentioned below, I would not have trusted her to drive. - Spawn Jun 3, 11:38
  - right? it's the most awkward place, for breaker-upper, and breaker-uppee. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 11:34 2
    - I get the being in public for some break-ups. (Sadly, have had to use that tact before). But a restaurant does not seem to make much sense. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 11:35 1
      - better than the knife store -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 11:35
- Arby's -- nm - tristafe Jun 3, 11:28
All this wrestling talk makes me miss GLOW. - sycor Jun 3, 11:15 2

  - What? I don't remember hearing about this. -- nm - sycor Jun 3, 11:17
[deleted]
So, I had words (loud ones) with an employee and the manager of an Arby's at lunch. - Spawn Jun 3, 11:12 24
- uugh, or has fox news on the monitors....worst is either xian worship music or hip hop which the clerks at the fancy veggie mart play late -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 12:03 1
  - ask on social media why this arby's is so racist/sexist etc -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 12:05

    - Take off, ya hoser. -- nm - Geddy Lee si Jun 3, 11:30
    - I actually heard Ohio (Pretenders) and was pleased as some Arby's play country music. - Spawn Jun 3, 11:30
  - Agreed. They actually kept escalating and sadly I kept matching. I did finally stop that and they actually continued to. - Spawn Jun 3, 11:24 6
    - Did you at least get curly fries? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 11:24 5
      - I lurve the waffle fries they have. -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 3, 11:26
      - Hell yeah. And a Beef n' Cheddar (not red sauce). -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 11:25 3
        
        oh, they added a special sauce just to yours... -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 11:32 2
        
        Heh, the food was on the tray before I said *anything*! -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 11:34 1
        
        Too late. Your fingerprint already identified you as a pink commie tree-huggin' crypto-fascist. -- nm - 99 LuftBarons Jun 3, 11:36
- My question: Why even bother making the excuse, if not to deliberately antagonize? - Shaun Jun 3, 11:19 2
  - I thought they might like to know they are losing future business. But from what they said, I was not the first to do so. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 11:22 1
    - Fair enough. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 11:22
- You need to switch to Nihilist Arby's. Nihilist Arby's recognizes that Limbaugh is just the latest expression of the duality of the human condition. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 11:18 2
  - trhat is a great twitter -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 11:36

- Pure uncut Colombian -- nm - tristafe Jun 3, 11:00
- Clairitin, Zyrtec and Allegra are all still fine, just have to find one that works for you. - Tim Jun 3, 10:55 1
  - this - although if you're just looking for a decongestant I recommend Mucinex-D -- nm - decline Jun 3, 11:12
- I had some good results with Flonase this year. -- nm - Ender Jun 3, 10:55
French Open Spoilers - Will Hunting Jun 3, 10:52
David, when he's in the ring with someone really good, he can go. He's not Flair who could get a match out of a broomstick, but he's put on some - Will Hunting Jun 3, 10:44 6
- I'll say this about Cena - and I don't watch the rasslin' anymore - this is just from my personal experience with the guy - Jim Jun 3, 11:17 1
  - I think he's the hardest working guy in the business and really cares about it. I think he's a better wrestler than he gets credit for and has been - pmb Jun 3, 11:26
- it boggles my mind that they leave the Horsemen name in the history books when it would be a money printing machine if ever brought back correctly -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 10:46 3
  - They've whitewashed everything WCW. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:49
  - Eh, I don't think you can bring back the Horsemen as long as they're all still alive. - Tim Jun 3, 10:48 1
    - let Flair be the JJ Dillon character if he could stand the ego hit -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 10:49
[deleted] 27
- I wonder if the raging nerd debate about never pre-ordering anymore will hold true...likely not. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 10:50 8
  - For a Steam discount it's worth it, otherwise you're giving GameStop an interest free loan. - Tim Jun 3, 10:51 7
    - BUT I HAVE TO HAVE THE RED HOOD DLC PACK! -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 10:59 3
      - And Ihave to play as Harley Quinn! -- nm - eag Jun 3, 11:03 2
        
        DUH! -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 11:03 1
        
        3 weeks -- nm - eag Jun 3, 11:06
    - Sadly Nintendo's forced our hands with the pre-ordering for physical. Making everything rare and shit. -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 10:59
    - NEVER EVER EVER EVER PREORDER ANYTHING!!! -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 10:54
    - But without a release date? - eag Jun 3, 10:54
- So, for those of us who've never played Fallout, what's it about? -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:44 17
  - I can give a detailed-ish setting explanation, but the gameplay now is basically "Skyrim With Guns" - Tim Jun 3, 10:46 3
    - I enjoyed it much more than Skyrim but that was likely because I didn't care for the medieval setting. - Krusty Jun 3, 10:54
    - I enjoyed it much more than Skyrim but that was likely because I didn't care for the medieval setting -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 10:53 1
      - FNV was still using the Oblivion engine. I've wanted one using Skyrim's for years now. -- nm - Tim Jun 3, 10:54
  - [deleted] 12
    - I have not. I've heard something about arrows in knees, though. -- (edited) - David Jun 3, 10:46 11
      - Ugh that meme got beat more that the dead horse that is 'the cake is a lie.' -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 10:54 1
        
        To the extent that it got reference in other games post Skyrim. -- nm - eag Jun 3, 10:56
      - so go play skyrim now - it's skyrim with guns and lasers and such -- nm - decline Jun 3, 10:52 1

        Witcher 3 is another good comparison. - decline Jun 3, 10:57 5
        
        This is on my list, but so many other games are as well. Shadows of Mordor will likely be my next non-Destiny, non-Arkham purchase. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 11:00 4
        
        Mordor was the 1st game I bought for the ps4. It's great, but a bit short. Witcher3 is huge/long -- (edited) - decline Jun 3, 11:06 3
        
        I hear its easilly a 200 hour game -- nm - eag Jun 3, 11:13 2
        
        I believe it. -- nm - decline Jun 3, 11:18
        
        There was an article before it came out that took the in-house QA team 25 hours to *speed run* it. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 11:16
Speaking of Lilo & Stitch... -- (link) - David Jun 3, 10:43 1
- This. Is. AWESOME! -- nm - sycor Jun 3, 10:44
Despite what you may have heard elsewhere, Jupiter Ascending is *not* a very realistic movie -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 10:40 3
- No, those are real. She's just pregnant. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:45
- I doubt Eddie Redmayne could confidently command a platoon, much less a galactic army. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 10:43 1
  - but can he find fantastic beasts is the question -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 10:44
Hulk Hogan is jealous of Cena's 8 move skill set. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 10:40 2
- Hogan allegedly did real wrestling in Japan, but I've always presumed that was urban legend. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:43
- Fwiw, Cena is in two of my three favorite matches this year, and the other is a women's match. -- nm - Tim Jun 3, 10:41
