You know, I very well might have been, but with all dudes in my house I am pretty much immune to raunchy farts.

Maybe that can be our puck compass tho- Tim lets one and we know the med is within a 15 foot radius. I will be monitoring your flatulence closely. Don't be creeped out.

Chipotle should be a food group unto itself - there's nothing else like it, and there's nothing else like what happens after eating it. :lipsealed: *BOOOOOM* :sheepish:

oh, and in case anyone's wondering where the coolercrew site is that was in the picture on my phone at the funeral, i just switched the site over to it this afternoon. its still a work in progress and i hope to continue to make little tweaks to how it looks, but as always, its a start. fwiw, the dark blue color is the same as the logo (which i'm hoping big g can find her original artwork that went onto 3m's sweatshirt at the funeral for, so that might change in the future), and the light color is the same as otis's site background is. i'm also open to color suggestions if anyone has preferred red/green/blue values.

ares - for our information - Inks too - change the years hunting to 39.

And if you could remove the contact information, that would be super. Neither of us uses AIM hardly ever and don't use hotmail any longer.

On the bottom of mine, you could say contact at Able Minds.

Just got off the phone with Obbs. They will move some tables out from the bar and dance area. If we want more removed all we need to do is ask. I was able to work with them on the appetizers. There are 4 of us that are willing to put up the cash ahead of time for appetizers that will be brought out starting at 9 or 10 depending on what we want. We would really appreciate any donation for those of you who would like to grab a bite once they're set out.

The thing with the drinks and closing time is like this:

Obbs doesn't have a late liquor license and needs to stop selling and remove all drinks by 1am. There is an option for all bars that they can use once a year that's called the Holiday Party option. Bar owners get to stay open until 3am once a year for things such as an employee Christmas party. The only stipulation is that no cash can change hands after 1am. But people can drink until 3am(I think - maybe 2am) but the drinks need to be paid for ahead of time. This way it's considered to be a private party and not open to the public. Obbs also has a rule that they can't allow anyone into the party after 1am since the place is officially closed for the night. That's also the reason why the regular patrons upstairs need to leave since the place is closed and only open to us and our party. This being said, there will be a kitty taken for drinks to be served after 1am. Similar to the food, if you're not going to pay then don't expect any drinks since they can't sell anything after 1am. Those of us that are left at that time can figure out what we want to toss into the pot at that time to keep things fair. Questions?

Wow, he's really stuck his neck out using his one and only late closing sixteen days into the new year. Sounds as though he likes this group.

Do you mean this dude? Ran into him at Jana's class reunion this past summer. It was kinda cool since he wasn't even part of her class. We were both wearing female name tags that we found(mine was on my suit coat) as part of our personal touch for being included with the rest of the bunch.

That's him. He is a cool dude. He was our first webmaster and the creator of our first cooler crew buttons. (Got them created, made and to the 1st rehash bash at Cherokee and he was living and doing all this from Milwaukee.)

He is involved now with the blanket tossing dealio and lives not far from us in the north end.

I'm thinking about a little "contest" for the PDG, using meetthe crew.

Is there a way to print just that info, without the sidebars?

well, i assume that this is going to change between now and saturday, but i can send you the raw html data that's going into the page, or you can look through the soruce code for the page for

<div class="content"><div id="content-inner">

and go until here

<div class="node-links">

not a problem for me, but like i said, its bound to change. oh, and the actual picture pictures, not the avatars, are relative links to the cooler crew site so you may want to edit the discussion and change all of the img src="/images/meet_the_crew/... lines to img src="http://coolercrew.com/images/meet_the_crew/....

Is anyone interested in going to Acme Comedy Company with me tomorrow night? Being that my birthday is this month I get 6 free tickets. I had originally planned it as an event for another group but didn't get much bite surprisingly. Would anyone here want to go? The show is at 8pm but you'd have to be there by 7pm so I can take a sure count of how many people we have. The tickets would be free. Parking is free on the street if you're there reasonably early. My girlfriend may not make it so I have 4 tickets and maybe 5 available.

I'll update it on Friday. Any changes after that won't matter. Thanks J. After getting into it, it was relatively easy to do.

yeah its not really that bad. although figuring out which div tags go together to apply the style to the rest of the coolercrew site that's not contained in drupal was, um, fun. in fact i'm discovering that the medallion map isn't working right at the moment under that theme.

thats the problem with america these days...

What happened to service??

We are expected now to tip for terrible service.

If a wait staffer is takes my "drink" order and I get need to wait 20 mins. and I watch him/her talk to their spouse, text a friend, and go to the bathroom all while the drink is sitting on their tray. Why in god's name would I tip him/her??

Lets just think about this in a small scale.

If I don't tip him/her, but did I buy a drink???

Did I have a percentage of that drink go to the waitstaff's paycheck??

Every drink the waitstaff sells is a portion of their paycheck.

If the boss is happy and making a ton of money its a chance for the waitstaff to make a promotion and a maybe even a raise.

Its their job to sell drinks and keep selling them.

Granted tipping is considered the norm ...but its also considered the norm for "good service".

I know and I've seen waitstaff that just don't care and I believe its sad.




reminds me of a story....

I friend of mine called to make a dentist appointment...

The officestaff was kind and took the time to make an appointment but was friendly the entire time on the phone. Even though it took over 20 mins. because of all the complications of finding a time to work.

The entire time the officestaff was nice.

The caller(patient) went out of their way to say thank you to the office staff.

Hung up the phone and thought...."why did i make such a big deal about a person doing a job they love to do"?




all i'm saying is people forget where their pay comes from....doesn't matter what job you have....or even if you have a job or not...

respect is respect...its gone

That is really nice of you to put that invite out there. I would take you up on that offer but I have to work! Which for me is extremely wonderful seeing how I was unemployed for a year. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you have a wonderful time.

I have to mention that the reason for not having the waitress downstairs this year was that last year the waitress had to 'hunt' down people to give them their bills. Many people got up and moved around. She had trouble remembering faces that moved around. thats all.

I get that. Some are good at hanging out at 1 table all night but the majority move all over the place during pre-dig.

I always thought the penny was an interesting take...

a penny shows you took the time to assess the service and it was horrible.

personally I give 10% for bad to good service

15 to 30 and even more once or twice for exceptional to amazing service.

however, most places tack on a required 15 to 18% when there are more than 8 people.

yup, they could have had a flat tire on their way in to work. Their mind could be on their kid thats in the hospital or sick at home. They need the money and are there to serve even if its not spot on. I give in every case... 10% and up. I've tipped well to newbies because they are under the stress of learning. Ive also written my figuring tip on the back of the reciept so the server can see how I came to the final tip figure.

and then there is the difference between tipping on drinks vs food brought to the table. Ive tipped on food and turn around and tip the bartender for making the drinks.

we had a talk about this a couple weeks back....

pulltabs.... I personally think I should only have to tip when Im all done pulling from the same girl from the same place in the same afternoon. Lets say my friend and I throw in 40 each... we pull a 100 winner and then tip 10 back to the girl... after splitting the 50/50 back and throwing the 10 in we are 5 bucks up.

Next we throw in 40 again each... pull a 200 winner... split 50/50 and give 20 to the girl... we are up 50 each. Now add those together... the girl is up $30 and we are up $55. Thats on a good day. I sink that 55 back in and pull nothing... shes up 30 and Im at zero.

I think it should be a total pull.... I win 300 for the day and she gets her 30. I pull a couple winners but overall I am under? she gets zero too.

however the person that would know about this most is Brasscat...

do you get alot of tips? do people vary?
