The dude is visionary. He has seen how things have gone for gingers and is owning his spot on the continuum.
Actually, I knew a whole crew of Puerto Ricans that were a big mix amounting to light skin, fro, some with blue eyes, etc. and they were tough about that. They weren’t black or white. They were Puerto Rican, and would correct you very quickly if you said otherwise.
No one:
My co-worker on Facebook: Alright, so tonight we went with a crab fry for dinner (includes close up photo of plate).
Every damn day. This is the same guy who had to lose 50 lbs before the doctor would preform a partial knee replacement.
Lotta lightskins have that “pretty” look to them. Some of my friends are, and they usually get a lot of girls, though they’re also athletes and confident and assertive. Wouldn’t let it bother you, just someone liking the way they look. A lot of Hispanics I know like their accents and the fact that they speak Spanish, a fairly “nice” sounding language, and as a Native myself, when I choose to braid my hair I feel like I look pretty damn good. Everyone’s got their thing they’re proud of.
Jeez how big was he? And this guy’s a cop? How many criminals can a body like this catch?
None. He started his career as a skinny distance runner. I’ve seen the pics. He dropped from 363 to 313 for his surgery. I encouraged him to keep going but he got what he wanted and quit (the surgery).
I’ve gotta say unless he’s 6’6" and huge this is unacceptable. It’s one thing to be a fat salesman/accountant/engineer, you can still do your job.
I would call this guy “Farva” or “Radio” and shame him into quitting.
This is America. It’s okay to be fat and you’re a bully if you talk about it.
Bless his heart, one of the fireman that was at the fire station the other day was every bit of 350+. He was very nice, and told me if I needed anything to please let him know. But, damn it, all I could think of while I was disassembling that cable machine was… YOU (meaning the very large nice fireman) should be in here using some of this equipment.
He was so large I felt sorry for him. That’s saying something, because most of my cousins were obese, I was fat, but Lawd have mercy this one needed help.
My co-worker is super nice, too. He goes to help everyone for every cause.
I get pissed off when new bouncers eat shit on a shift and then want to joke about it. I get especially pissed when they try to turn their failure into a joke while avoiding bar-funded training opportunities to improve. You just got your ass handed to you and now want people to laugh about it?
What do you think that does to your credibility as a doorman? People talk.
They do. And they know when and with whom they can pull some shit with.
Just hope none spills over on to you.
I should be good, even though this knucklehead isn’t doing our team any favors. I’m in good favor with the regulars who’ve watched me work over the years. I’ve also raised my rates dramatically, so I don’t get the call quite as often.
I’ve only picked up two shifts in the last five months or so. I’m basically their no-commitment Hail-Mary backup bouncer, which is actually a pretty neat side job for me at this point. I’m also on the High Council of The Dive Bar, where we discuss important details like how long this or that asshole should be banned from the premises, apology conditions, blood feuds, and other routine bar business.
I tried to stay on the good side of those councils by only knocking out people that needed it.
Except for people that call 911. Like if he has to get out of his car in a hurry, or run up a flight of stairs.
When I go grocery shopping and the next day I start to cook something only to find out, I forgot to buy one of the ingredients.
This is why I never cook from a “recipe”. I have to go to the store and spend like $30 on all of the ingredients and then it feeds me twice. I might as well just eat out.
First time I made Chinese food we spent like $75 on just the spices and crap 
Wife is on the way home as we text with Chinese takeout!
Literally everytime. Usually the onions.
My fellow Americans thought this was a good idea. Ew
pro tip- everyday Chinese food doesn’t require many spices. A splash of soy sauce and a scoop of chicken bullion (aka MSG) does the trick every time
