Removing the feeding tube from our aging hipster plaid pants

Oh God, OJ is the worst thing for a hangover. I have terrific acid reflux - OJ is like pouring molten lava down my throat. Particularly if my throat is already seared from having smoked something the night before.

I agree with the burrito, however. I have done two bean burritos from Burrito Bros in Gtown after a particularly vicious night of drinking.

Xanax is not needed for the traditional hangover. You save those little bombs for those mornings when you see the sun rising and realize your pulse is still 120 and no matter what you drink, you aren't going to crash. Xanax is an excellent kill switch for everything that makes you jittery. Booze alone won't usually make me jittery.

B6/B12 - still the best cure out there.

• Surprise! Pretty people earn more
  
  Fed Reserve study shows beautiful people make about 5% more than their average counterparts.
  
  
  NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Kiss that merit raise goodbye.
  
  Good-looking, slim, tall people tend to make more money than their plain-Jane counterparts, according to a study released this month by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, with researchers finding that beautiful people tend to earn 5 percent more an hour than their less comely colleagues.

Sure it's circumstantial, but remember, Hank appears to have a good deal more discretionary income than the rest of you based upon willingness to bet for board support.

This story has been recycled by the news about once every two years for the past 20 years. You need look no further than the faces of the people who run whatever office you're in to see that its not true, or at least not true in regard to this industry.

You're not kidding. Nothing I crave more when I'm hung over. But I like the yolks as well.

Try adding avocado to it. Even tastier. Is there a better vegetable than avocado? I can't think of one. Perhaps spinach.

If avocado is not actually a vegetable, don't post "Avocado is not a vegetable." Those posts blow. PM me about it instead and save the board the boring discourse.

the question isn't "is he objectively good looking?" the real question is "is he better looking than you and the others at the firm?" As to you, cutie, I do beleive you are underpaid given your boyish charm. Maybe you should start wearing tighter pants?

Good call. For me:

(1) Spinach (sometimes w/red wine vinegar)
(2) Artichoke (always with lemon butter)
(3) Avocado (never at Chipotle - they charge you $1.50)

I was a spinach freak when I was a little kid. Spinach farmers owe(d) billions to Popeye.

Those are on my list, with asparagus and green beans and broccoli and cauliflower.

I'm getting hungry.

For those in Houston, Maria Selma has an awesome, awesome avacado stuffed with crab appetizer. And their chips are the best chips in the whole state.

I think my lunch plans have just formed.

Brussel sprouts done well (from fresh) are the best- and done poorly (from frozen) the worse.

The new and improved sebby has turned into a big puss.

eta: Since this is turning into the vegetable board, I have something to share. I recently reviewed a resume from someone in the UK. In the "Interests" section, he wrote that he was "keen on gardening, with a special interest in growing unusual vegetables." I think I need a translator.

When did Sebby become new and improved?

At the risk of continuing the vegetable thread, I will note that I like avocado and spinach and brussels sprouts a lot.

I think your future employee likes sex toys.

"Exactly how hard is Jenna Bush getting it? Hillary Duff weighs in on yet another perk of being the commander-in-chief's daughter: 'I think that she gets it 10 times harder than every other (23-year-old) girl out there, 'cause her dad's the President.' We think Hillary is probably unfamiliar with the work of 23-year-old pornstar Jenna Haze (Fast Times at Deep Crack High, Service Animals #4)."

Linky.

Following the links, I came across this commentary:

"Wow. So Jenna Bush, a 23 yr old actually goes to bachelorette parties and dances. Maybe she has a drink or two. What are you, a Puritan? Who freaking cares? Show me the puffy first daughter doing lines of coke off the cack of some beefed up chipendale, then you've got a story. Much rather see pics of Tom Delay banging a goat while wearing a demon mask. I'll pay $60K for that and give it to O'Reilly."

I'm not sure what a "cack" is supposed to mean in this context, but that's pretty fucking funny.

This guy sounds like a wanker who has never killed a snake with a stick.

I dunno. You can encounter a lot of snakes gardening, and sticks tend to be readily available.

I really, really wish that I could put something like that on my resume, but mine would read:

• Other talents:
  
  Teleportation. Can instantaneously teleport up to 50 feet when put into close proximity with snake. No control over trajectory. Cannot turn off power. Any snake will trigger teleportation, and power kicks in before type of snake can be identified. In confined spaces, power works vertically, usually causing much brusing on other people in the room.

I like food. Generally. Some food I do not like so much, but mostly I like food.

I'd guess that it's a typo for "back."

Although "crack" would work, too -- perhaps it's the functional equiv of me snorting lines of blow from bnb's decolletage in the first class lounge of an Air France Concorde while en route to Paris, circa 1987.

I'm guessing bnb was somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 circa 1987. So even assuming available decolletage, you probably shouldn't have been doing lines off of her.
