In a row?

You’re talking about OG Stephanie’s hatred of proper nouns. It’s funny, because my friend and I can have whole conversations like that.
Me: “Remember that one time?”
Her: “That one time at that one place?”
Me: “Yeah, with that guy, and he did that thing.”
And we can keep that going for like… an hour. Who needs proper nouns when you can have conversations like that. lol
I’m getting to the point that I hate my own ringtone. I have Ozzy Obourne for my text messages, and Rob Zombie for actual calls, and I can’t stand getting text messages any more (i’ve received WAY too many text messages).
I was thinking that one was never gonna get read Tim, but with the addition of the accents (which I was too lazy to add, even in my mind) it was even funnier for some reason

My text message ringtone is Weird Al saying “Yo dawg, Weird Al here just letting you know that… (singing with accordian) youuu have a text messaaage! (speaking) So, now you know.” It was funny when I downloaded it.

I have my head shaved and pay $20 – $25 dollars every 2 weeks but I enjoy all the pampering also. Tipping is a very difficult thing to do I usually tip well if the person serving me is a friend. I have lived in the same county since I went to elementary school so most of the people working in the serivce industry I know. Also if you put anything other than your signature on the back of your Credit / Debit cards it becomes invalid and should never be accepted. I work in Visa & Mastercard Fraud so I have learned this.

Tipping – I absolutely refuse to tip in any jar/box.piece of shit left on a counter. Those folks actually get paid. I’m not tipping you just for pouring a cup of coffee. Fuck you. I like the idea of not tipping servers and getting them paid an actual wage instead, but since that’s just not the way it is, I tip, of course. If they have to put up with my kid or clean up a mess that I can’t get to, I tip extra. And I try to clean up after him as much as possible, so they don’t have to do that shit.
As for bartenders, hubby and I tend to tip them well. We don’t tend to order beers, just mixed drinks (martinis for hubby, something gay for me), so they do put forther effort. When I used to go to gigs with hubby and hit a bar while he was playing, I’d always sit at the bar, and tip really well, so the bartender would watch out for me if there were “mashers” around. Hubby would tip well for faster service, since his only chance to get drinks was on breaks, and his time was limited.
God I miss hitting bars.

My wife is a Hair Stylist and she makes damn good money, yet people still usually tip her very well.
A server tends to make shit in their paycheck and the tips become their main source of income.
So I would be more inclined to tip a waiter then someone who cuts my hair. But then again, if you are a shitty waiter you aren’t getting a tip from me at all.

My signature on my driver’s license has been a rabbit head since I was seventeen. It’s the signature on everything. The lady at the d.m.v. got her manager and she let me. Recently, I was told by my school that it can’t be my signature despite being on my ID . I don’t get it.

I just got the Clerks reference at the beginning of this episode…I am a little slow today. Another good tancast down, 1 million more to go?!
Happy VD EVERYONE!

I definitely tip my hairdresser, since how I look is directly related to how much she gives a shit. So a history of tipping well ensures that she’ll do her best. Of course, in Andy’s case…
I do cut my husband’s hair with the clippers, but I refuse his tips.
February 16th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Sorry, forgot: I’m with Andy’s Wife on the blow job issue: Fuck that. I’m not paying a stripper, then blowing him. That’s why I got married – so I wouldn’t have to give blow jobs anymore. Fuck that. 🙂

I forgot to mention that the reason I looked black in that picture was because my fiancee used a morphing program to that changes races.

I wouldn’t mind an ad or two and maybe the Paypal donation button.

My wife cuts my hair. And she accepts my tip……the tip of my dick!!! ooooooooh snap!

Hey I think we should call Noah Mr. Pink!

Hey Andy, thanks for answering my email about the Linux stuff. I have to say that I didn’t really hear what you said for an answer because I was too busy telling my wife that I felt cool for shaping the discussion on TANcast. Anyway my original email is below that I sent to Andy back on Jan 7. next time I’ll be sure to include my name at the end.
==========================================
Hey Andy,
First and foremost, I am a fan. I was very happy that I stumbled across your podcast so much so that I forced my wife to listen and she actually loved it. Score one for the TAN, or whatever. So anyway I want to nerd out a minute and ask your opinion. I’m thinking of taking the Linux plunge and forcing it on my wife just as a test to see if she likes it. I remember you talking about it on one of the shows and wanted to see if there was any follow up to the story. As in how have you adapted, has your wife been able to work with it? Does she like it? What flavor did you use? I’m downloading OpenSuse 11.1 right now, but I’ve also heard great things about Ubuntu (can’t remember if that was what you used). I’m pretty technical, and can understand most stuff, but looking at it from the beginning looks like I’m at the bottom of Everest. Any stories or comments would be appreciated, or any niche websites that you found helpful would be much appreciated. If you are too busy, or simply don’t give a fuck that is fine. I just wanted to see if you had anything to say if someone happened to ask you the question.

My brother the attention whore haha just picking on you nate.

Ok, Princess Edamame (if that is your real name) I’m calling you out: You will tip a bartender who pours your alcoholic drinks, but not a barista who makes your caffinated ones? That’s messed up. It’s basically the same service anyway! I’m sure if you asked a barista, they would make sure the others caffeine junkies wouldn’t attack you….
Tip your wait staff people! You never know what could happen to your food back in the kitchen. Watch “Waiting” if you don’t believe me…
February 19th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
ooh…so was it bad form to not tip up in Port Townsend for my hot chocolate (the hot barista from episode 31)?
But I didn’t tip the guy at Burger King and he gave me a whole meal…plus a TOY!!! I dunno the logic of the whole tipping thing is very illusive.
February 19th, 2009 at 10:10 pm
WOw – I”m really pising people off lately!
Here’s the thing, Iris: If I ordered specialty drinks, I would tip. Those drinks require a cerrtain amount of skill. But I don’t. I order coffee poured from the coffee vat.
That said, I’m more likely to tip at a mom-n-pop coffee place (probable, in fact) than at a corp like Starbucks. Those bastards get all sorts of benis I can’t get at my office gig. Plus gas money!! 🙂
February 19th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Oh, and Princess Edamame is really just an alias… mwahaha…you’d never guess!! I’m really nicksmommy!!!!!!!
February 20th, 2009 at 7:06 am
Gotta call you out again Edamame. (no offense!)
I used to work for Starbucks. All of those “benis” you mentioned. What would those be? All I can think of is health insurance, which is very hard to get them to do since they make sure to keep your hours below the required minimum for eligibility. And I never got offered gas money.
Also they pay SHIT!!! The tips can make the difference. Just because someone works for a corporate company and not some mom and pop store, doesn’t mean they are part of the corp. they are working stiffs and could use the left-over change you have from your coffee that you aren’t going to need anyway.
February 20th, 2009 at 7:24 am
Tim you should have at least gave her the tip of something….
Isn’t their also some loop hole about being a waiter or waitress and you can be payed less than minimum wage because your tips are suppose to make up the difference? Maybe it is just in New York. The whole system is FUBAR
February 20th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Logan, thats the same here in Virginia. I know a guy who makes 2 dollars an hour as a waiter, and that just covers the taxes on his tips.
February 22nd, 2009 at 10:44 am
In CA, servers can get paid kles than minimum wage, too.
Jess – no offense taken. I’m always glad to learn new things. Starbucks is forever saying employees get health insurance, stock options, good wages and free coffee beans – a pound a week. I don’t assume that everyone makes a great wage – having worked for Disney, which has a reputation for paying great wages, I can tell you they pay SHIT too, and when I worked there, only management got any benis, tho everyone could buy stock. 🙂
Then here’s my last question, so I Can finish making an informed tipping choice – how do the tips get split? You may be able to change my mind here.
February 22nd, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Tips are put into a pool and you get a percentage depending on the amount of hours you work. when I was there, it came out to an average of $10 to $15 a week. But it all depends on the store and the area.
And you do get a pound of coffee a week, but starbucks coffee is bitter and shitty.
February 22nd, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I don’t know a lot of waiters myself but why do people you all know become waiters? I always feel like if the pay at your job sucks, go find a better job. Obviously right now that is not an option. I personally like getting same amount of money each pay check and not having to depend on tips. Even though with tips there is the potential to make more.
