Listing “Pin Juggling” as a core competency doesn’t tend to get you interviews. Unless you’re applying to juggling school, in which case the line you might consider leaving out is, “Honors Thesis: Habermas and Communicative Action: reifying the consumer in a social-evolutionary context.” Except, I suppose, if your intended subconcentration is Juggling Theory.

No matter how much Drakkar Noir he’s steeped in, no matter how many buttons he leaves unbuttoned to expose a preternaturally hairless chest, no matter how many former frat buddies he’s with or how many times he affects an accent to drawl darlin’ at the server, calling the guy a douchebag is still, as it turns out, implicitly misogynist. Of course, this doesn’t change the fact that he actually is a douchebag.

Correction: In a previous post, the phrase “unless you count mashed potatoes and processed meat in an all-persavive tang of A-1 steaksauce satisfying” should have read “unless you find nausea satisfying.”

I can also report, for other Loaded-Steakhouse-Burger consumers: eventually your bowel movements return to normal.

Your disregard for an intoxicated third party’s perspective during an argument between yourself and a friend may be incorrectly perceived as arrogant. Explicitly stating that you have no time for such perspectives actually is arrogant.
