Things you should know by now, but only just discovered

I'm watching Tombstone for the first time and I'm just finding out how many badasses are in 1 film. So far:

Kurt Russell
Val Kilmer
Bill Paxton
Powers Boothe
Sam Elliott
Michael Biehn
Stephen Lang
Thomas Holden Church
Billy Zane
Terry O'Quinn
Dana Delaney

...and Jason Priestly

Apparently Michael Rooker is in it as well, but since I started watching about an hour into it, I'm assuming he got killed off early on.

If only Michael Ironside was in it...

Tombstone is my favorite Western ever. Rooker just has a bit part but he's in it til the third act.

Glad to see you skipped Billy Bob Thornton... he is such a little girl in that movie.

I would add Terry O'Quinn (Locke on Lost) to the list of bad asses.

Ah, yes, Tombstone, great movie.
Did you know that people tip barbers? I've gone to them all my life and never seen it happen and never done it until today.

I always tip my barber! I have no idea what % is appropriate, but what I'm tipping works out to 12.5%. From what I've seen in barbershops (I've only been to the cheap ones), most of the staff is working for some pretty small money, so I think of it like tipping a server - it's a part of their income that they probably rely on. It also doesn't hurt that I think my barber's great.

Same here, always tip them, though the amount differs. I get a pretty simple haircut and I go to old school barbershops where the price is between 14-17 dollars. I designate $20 for the haircut so the barber gets the difference between the 20 and the price of the cut (which would work out to 18-42% tip).

When I was spending $15 on a hair cut, I was leaving behind $5. Seemed fair enough to me.

That's my ratio for haircuts.

OK, I feel cheap. Next time, the barber gets $5.

My haircuts are also $15.

I only go 3-4 times a year, so $5 seems reasonable, and is usually what I tip.

My haircuts are free!

This works both ways.

I usually tip my hairdresser $10. The style is $65, but then again, she's a sole proprietor. Nail salons usually get 10-25%, depending on the price and my mood. And remember, come the holiday season, everybody and their mother expects to get tipped.

Nope, I just buzz my hair at home.

Do you tip afterwards?

He just the tips afterwards, if that's what you mean.

I love it when old jokes finally make sense.

Just re-watched 300, and Michael Fassbender is in it.

We will fight in the shade. Now see if you can find him in Band of Brothers.

Wow, if people followed that guide they'd be throwing away a lot of perfectly good food. Some of the listed times on that chart are not only wrong, they are weeks or even months less than the average sell-by date on a freshly purchased product.

I don't know about that. I've frozen many an item for a long, long time and it didn't magically go bad. Especially cheese. We used to get those 5lb blocks of government cheese and we kept them in the freezer for over a year.

With the non-refrigerated shelf life of some of those things being only 1-2 hours, many foods supposedly go "bad" before some people can even make it home from the supermarket!

Though the thing that continues to bug me is that milk "expires" in NYC 3 days before anywhere else...

If you put tomatoes in the fridge, I have nothing to say to you. It's just wrong.

What about half-tomatoes?

Bread in the fridge... what?

Government Cheese is the name of my nu-ska band.
