    Anybody understand baseball?

    Ok, I realize this sounds dumb, but now I realize that all the first place teams do, in fact, have a single dash below "GB". I don't smoke anything weird, but I was drinking when I wrote that... At any rate, would anybody like to get together to watch a game somewhere, sometime? PS All the...

    Anybody understand baseball?

    Being older now than I was before, I'm having trouble understanding the GB column when reading the standings. Back in the day, when men were men and women were women, the first place team in each division had a "0" under the GB symbol, as in "it's impossible to be any games behind anybody...

    Friends of the bus driver

    Hey dude! No, I'm talking about regular passengers who just stand in the narrow aisle that goes from the driver to the rest of the bus; people just stand in that aisle way while one has to go around them and/or step on their heels. I just feel like screaming "what the fuck are you doing...

    Friends of the bus driver

    Huge pet peeve. I would like to know why so many people on city buses love to hang out by the bus driver. Really annoying and really like shooting yourself in the foot.

    I know, I know, all the conspiracy theorists told me so

    It's that I didn't believe it, but you can't believe everything. Scott Crow, an organizer of anticorporate protests, is among dozens of political activists to have come under scrutiny by the F.B.I.’s counterterrorism operations since 9/11...

    Standing out like a tourist...

    Technically speaking, your experience (which I take to be completely true and by no means an anomaly) doesn't exactly have to do with my post. The advice I've given is to not do these things if you don't want to come across as a foreigner. If you do these things (which are great things)...

    Standing out like a tourist...

    Don't smile at people you don't know. Don't say hi to people you don't know. Don't say hi more than once a day to acquaintances you pass in buildings/on the street. Don't eat while walking around the city. Don't expect free water at a restaurant. Don't ask for ice in your soft drinks. If...

    Job Vacancy: Personal Administrative Assistant

    Fifs2, 3000 pesos a month is 1/3 above minum wage, so that's like being paid, what, $10 an hour in the US? Sure, there are worse jobs, but I wouldn't defend their proposal AT ALL. Prorrating a shitty-paying job? And then paying that same shitty salary under-the-table? 3000 pesos is an...

    My letter to the New York Times

    Dear Mr Feyer: Tim Arango wrote (http://community.nytimes.com/comments/www.nytimes.com/2011/05/07/world/middleeast/07photo.html#preview): "The military also set strict rules for embedded journalists that kept many graphic images from the public eye; the military asked Mr. Hondros to leave...

    che boludo

    The Oxford Spanish-English dictionary has, quite literally, hundreds of regionalisms that are used in Argentina. They're the words that carry either an CS (Cono Sur) or RPl (Río de la Plata) label.
