    - It's really great. - pmb Aug 21, 08:13 2
      - Like, you jumped alone? - ty97 Aug 21, 08:17 1

  - You're just bitter that it comes about a month too late. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 21, 08:31
  - Coke should be legal everywhere. Production would skyrocket. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 08:28
  - Looks like you picked the right time to vacation. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 08:26
  - sure, the same rationale applies. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 08:08 20
    - I don't think it does. Heroin is pretty addictive. -- nm - mara Aug 21, 08:12 19
      - From all accounts I've heard, more addictive things are legal. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 08:24 1

        well, no. but it's a tragedy. something governments generally try to not promote. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 21, 08:15 11
        
        Making it legal doesn't mean it's being promoted. The issue is really whether you think legalizing it will cause more people to do it. - pmb Aug 21, 08:18 1
        
        i'm not sure i disagree with the law, but i can see why there is a difference between marijuana and heroin. -- nm - Andie Aug 21, 08:19
        
        I just don't see this as the government going out and promoting it. - znufrii Aug 21, 08:17 8
        
        Removing the illegality does start to remove a stigma, and as such, kinda back-door promotes it. - ty97 Aug 21, 08:20 1

        Which dollars are more effective at dealing with heroin addicts. Dollars for enforcement or dollars for treatment? - pmb Aug 21, 08:20
      - You would know, wouldn't you? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 08:13

Lesnar-Carwin set for Nov 21. I don't believe I've seen this Carwin gentleman fight. -- nm - TFox Aug 21, 08:02 2
- He's the gentleman who beat Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 96. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 08:03 1

What bars do people go to that don't ask to run a card when you have a tab? - MDH Aug 21, 07:56 9
- at any place i've worked i wouldn't serve you unless you gave me a card first (and the card company approved it) - 'lia Aug 21, 08:32
- Is this a Canadian vs American thing? Rarely do they ask you to show card up front at resurants here. You just run tab and pay at end. - Walt_Disney Aug 21, 08:23
- I find it usually has to do with how busy the establishment is - con_carne Aug 21, 08:10
- I have never had a tab, ever, nor been in a group with one. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 21, 08:08
- [deleted]
- I'm a regular at a few places that they don't bother. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 08:00
- The bar we always go to now, we pour our own drinks while the bartender plays pool. - TFox Aug 21, 07:59
- Sit down pubs this is a pretty general thing, in my experience. It's pretty rare to be asked to run a card. -- nm - Subversive Aug 21, 07:58
- bery bars. -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 07:57
It feels weird, but also correct, to have people talking about things that happened on at your stag that you have no recollection of. - Reagen Aug 21, 07:54 4

OK, seriously, CVS? me: "My doctor called a prescription in for insulin, but he wrote it for 9 bottles at a time!! (I only use 3 a month.) Can you see - kelly Aug 21, 07:48
It's August 21 and I haven't drafted a single fantasy football player yet. This feels wrong. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 07:48 3

Did y'all do the virtual ride of that coaster? It's weird. - TFox Aug 21, 07:42 4
- No flips, or heights besides the first drop, but those turns will be epic -- nm - MDH Aug 21, 07:46 3
  - No flips I was actually expecting, similar to Millenium Force. The lack of hills floored me. -- nm - TFox Aug 21, 07:49 2
    - I'll bet there's a few bigger than appears hills on that. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 07:50 1
      - Oh yeah, I could see that. Not a complete lack of hills. - TFox Aug 21, 07:51

  - Oh, I wasn't intending to point the finger at your friends. Just the waitress in tears reminded me of the situation from Reagen's stag. - Subversive Aug 21, 07:52
- what place was this that drinks came to less than a hundred dollars? - Beryllium Aug 21, 07:43 12
  - [deleted] 11
    - This is probably because I don't do the bar/pub scene/crawl, but ... I've never given my card to someone like that. I find it to be a foreign concept. - Beryllium Aug 21, 07:49 9
      - At a sit-down restaurant where I'm having dinner and drinks, sure that's how I'd expect it to go. At a bar... no. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 21, 07:55
      - you've never been asked to put your card down? -- nm - Diva Aug 21, 07:52
      - [deleted] 6
        
        Most places I go to will let you run your own tab without leaving a card. - Subversive Aug 21, 07:53 5
        
        trust me - plenty of the places that ask for cards down here are not "upscale". - heh... - Diva Aug 21, 07:57

        we have to give a card if you're in a big busy bar. but, smaller places, not so much. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 21, 08:03 1
        
        I find this very true....big group of us out on Wendesday. One person paid and gave card. Normally not necessary to do so with smaller groups. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 21, 08:20
    - That's what I thought I was doing but there ended up being 3 different bartenders that day/night. : ( - Diva Aug 21, 07:48
