Re: Off Topic VII
I guess I could play WR for the Pats and Brady could get me 1000 yards and 5 TDs. Ridiculous.

October wasn't much better.
Basically, I am **** sick of driving on 485 in the rain at night in traffic. I might take the long way home tomorrow.
and our state has had the hottest ever spring with around 20 days over 80 degrees
the planet is changing

Re: Off Topic VII
I was looking over at the Spurs forum and the mod Nolan is just putting in work. Always makes game threads and comments in them yet he's the only one there usually. Mad respect to that guy. I think next time we play the spurs we should do our game thread over there.

Good idea.

Sometimes, particularly if they actually read the back of my credit card and then ask me for my photo ID.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu

Re: Off Topic VII
If the food is being picked up from the bar, I'll leave a tip since bartenders rely on tips and they're usually the ones putting together the order. If it's from a cashier/hostess then I usually don't unless it's a big/crazy order.

I usually just round to the next dollar if I'm picking up a pizza or something. If it's a smaller restaurant that doesn't get a ton of business then I may tip as usual though.

Re: Off Topic VII
I never do. I feel like I tip at a restaurant because the server makes below minimum wage and actually performs a service for me. Me calling in an order, walking in and walking out doesn't seem like it merits a tip.
Starting to wonder if I'm considered a jerk by the places I order out from.

Re: Off Topic VII
Yeah I never tip for carryout. Hell I don't order delivery anymore. I'll come pick it up, drivers often don't even get the delivery fee that's tacked on.

Danny Ainge looks like Happy from the move Blue Chips in the picture of him they always use when their is a Celtics related story on this website. I've only noticed because it seems every other week the Celtics leak another story related to us turning down their draft day offers.

I do. At most restaurants the servers tip out the non-wait staff.

People who scream when they're lifting weights annoy the hell out of me.
