My usual drink orders are either run and coke or tequila and orange. I have no idea where this fits on the cocktail snob scale.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Then we all went to see Cadillac Records, which had great performances in a mediocre movie.
Right? It was too bad. And then I didn't realize that the main guy in Stomp the Yard (which I watched over Christmas with my parents, thinking of meara) was Little Walter!

I'm a rum and coke person, but I'm a snob about my rum. Other than that, I loves me my mojitos and loved 'em before they became trendy, so there.
Me, last night. [link] Hate how my hair looks, trying to decide what to do about it at the next hair appt. I know I'm going to go lighter but the haircut remains a mystery.
I think, sadly, that I also have to give up the bronze-y eyeshadows now that I'm not perpetually tan. I'll have to see after I lighten my hair though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Me too. I usually order a "Jack and Coke." That's snobby, right?

Much as I love Maddow, I'm not trading in my Roses lime for lime and powdered sugar in my vodka gimlet. Life's too short to shake that one into submission.

Let's face it, there are probably worse things in life than Rachel Maddow dominating your face with cocktails.
I think I've found a useful arbiter in the never-ending San Francisco burrito debate. Burritoeater has rated more than 637 burritos just in the Bay Area.
A typical review (note importance of "burstage abatement"):
Swish: sauciness (10); spiciness (10); beans (9); burstage abatement (9); rice (8); cheese (8); vegetables (8); temperature (8)
Shrug: size (7); tortilla (7); meat (7); ingredient mix (6)
Clang: no elements clanged
Intangibility bonus: 2 (of 2)
Anything rated over 7 is deemed respectable.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hec, you could start a site and call it Sandwich Eater.

I have to think one already exists, but maybe not so locally focused.

I'm finding tuna sandwich review and club sandwich review blogs but not one all-sandwich review place.
