Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Can somebody explain the whole "dive bar" fad to me? For the longest time, I thought it was a bar where SCUBA fans hung out. What makes it a dive bar? What's cool about it?
Is it a fad? There have always been dive bars and hipsters have always gone to them. What's cool about it? "Authenticity" - which hipsters crave because they have none. Also they've read too much Bukowski and drew poor conclusions.
Monkey monkey monkey!
Noodle noodle noodle!
I think I am going to have sushi for lunch too, unless I have a hamburger and cajun fries.
My computer stopped working last night, and this morning I got mocked by the Apple support guy for not searching for "three beeps" on the apple site, since if I had, I would have known what was wrong. (probably just a loose memory chip). Then I tried to make a reservation at the local genius bar, but couldn't, since all we have here is IE, and of course the reservation concierage won't work on IE, so I had to call the store to make a reservation, which according to the web site and the store's phone tree is not allowed, but they let me anyway, so now I have to go to the Stanford Mall after work, but that's okay, since I can go to PF changs.
Also, I gave up caffeine today.
There was an afterschool animated special on the passenger pigeon when I was a kid. I sobbed uncontrollably.
Why are you giving up caffeine, Perkins? It's like the best drug ever!
I didn't know there was a dive bar fad, but recently a friend who grew up in New Jersey was talking about how much it annoyed her that all the rich kids she went to school with always wanted to go to "dives" because it was cool. I always thought of it as a hipster thing, but I don't know that these people are hip.
An uncaffeinated Perkins? Do I want to know that person?
FUCK!
My bank put a fraud hold on my debit card. I paid $274.00 on a cable bill by phone this morning, but instead they charged me $2,740.00.
They're gonna remove the fraud hold in a few minutes.
What's cool about it? "Authenticity" - which hipsters crave because they have none.
Also, strong, cheap booze.
I like dive bars because the booze is cheaper, I don't have to get dressed up and they tend to be much less crowded.

No fair asking the hard questions when I've had no caffeine!
I just drink way too much of it, and moderation doesn't work well for me with it.
(and pfft to Sparky1)
