Paul?
curios, as a bartender if you were to come to my bar...how do you Tip?

If I'm paying and tipping by the drink, just running to and from the bar, and I don't know you, usually $1 per drink. Nothing I order is ever more than $5 a pop.

When I go to Yogi's, where they're really good at buy-backs, I'll tip $1.50 on a $2.50 Miller Lite.

If I'm sitting at a bar, I'll usually tip on time. Meaning if I'm watching a three-hour ball game and have had six beers and we've bantered a bit, I might tip a flat $10 instead of counting my drinks or giving a 20% thing. If you're a chick, maybe up to $20 for the same time.

If you buy me a drink, I'll tip you back at least half the price.

If I bring a girl into your place and you treat me like royalty, sky's the limit.

Britney is a skank. Her career stinks...her perfume is nauseating...her feet are funky...can you imagine how bad her crotch smells? Her husband looks like he needs to be hosed down, too.

Good advice about tipping the doorman. I give my doormen more money then I give my family on the holidays. They know more about me then anyone and they keep all of my shenanigans to themselves. They are priceless. I love them.

Grant, I make sure to take care of my bartenders all year round, but especially at the holidays. They keep me drunk and happy, and they give my friends and I a heads up on the losers in the bar. Those types of services deserve the most generous compensation.

Happy Festivus!

I get the sense from Britney is that she's tired of doing what she's doing. She's tired of working out, dancing, and taking care of personal hygene. Too bad really.

As for blogging, you probably could write a clinic, if you wanted to.

I've never understood the Brittney Spears thing, anyways...

As for tipping- out in the 'burbs, I don't have to worry about building doormen and the like, but the school secretaries at my children's schools are well-remembered during the holiday season.
