[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My last massage therapist was anti-tip. She said she felt she was a professional running a business and charging what her services were worth. I don't know how wide-spread this point of view is, though.

When I tip a massage therapist, the reaction seems to be, "Oh, you want to tip me? Cool!"

The last time I had a massage, I tipped because it was a truly great massage. I don't necessarily feel obligated to tip for that. As for hairstylists, if I really like the cut or they made space for me at the last minute or I was running late and they still got me out on time (which happens embarassingly often), I tip. I go in for a trim or a touch up, not so much.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
From the link on the milk/mucus thing:
Q: Do dairy products help produce excessive amounts of mucus?
A: No, that is a myth. Dairy products to not enhance mucus formation, but your saliva might be slightly thicker after drinking milk. This is natural and not related to mucus.
So, its not technically more mucus it just makes your spit feel like mucus? Seems more like misunderstanding than a proper "myth" -- singer skipping it is probably a good idea.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I always tip my hairstyist. 20% to be shared between him and the hair washing person.

I tip: servers, bartenders, taxi drivers, people who do my nails, food delivery folks, hair stylist, hotel housekeeping, and masseuse.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I always read that for service employees who aren't the owner, a tip is customary (like hairstylists, massage therapists, etc.), because what the cut costs isn't what the stylist actually earns.
But that could be a scam perpetrated by the hairstylists of the world.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I tip my hairstylist huge because my cut is $17.99 but I feel like a million bucks when she's done.
