How did you decide Italian was more ethnic than Ukrainian? Is there a scale?

You guys still debating this? Be a normal person and call each of your grandparents by their first name.

Farm equipment is so god damn expensive, it makes me wonder if anyone is making any money, because I sure as hell wouldn't be if I bought a single upgrade.

I just got to the gym all excited to listen to the new Lamb of God album released today and realized that I forgot my AirPods at home. I seriously considered making the 20 minute drive to pick them as now I gotta listen to the gym music. Self inflicted wounds are the worst!

What, you didn't just decide you deserved to listen to it anyway, and crank your phone volume, and #### everyone else? That's not very modern of you.

I guess I’m just an old-fashioned guy lol. I have to say whatever they have streaming now isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Seems to be like a mix of new pop and old stuff.

Ya, attempting to Club the Monte Cristo is a massive mistake. Those people should be...clubbed.

I witnessed this gear grinder in person and days later it's still grinding your gears. That's a serious gear grinder!

There is no traditional, it's origins were from experimentation and modification to the Croque Monsier in French cafes(two slices!). I'm sure some foolish creatives from then may have experimented with three, perhaps to prevent oversized Americans from complain of small serving sizes, but anyone who understands balance and texture would not use three slices.
