Anyone had a crappy meal at a cheap joint lately?

[Susquehanna Birder]

You go there to get good priced natural foods that aren't full of preservatives and hormones and transfats, etc.

That, and the Two-Buck Chuck.

There's a simple solution. Go to the farging gym. Then you can eat or drink whatever the farg you want. I'm a naturally skinny motherfarger, but I eat like shtein and drink more than is even remotely healthy. I stopped going to the gym for two years and gained 15 pounds. I started going to the gym again and lost that weight. It's a simple equation. Eating like a woman is not the solution.

Depends on how you're wired.  I go to the gym five days a week (weights and cardio), and I train at a dojo four times a week.  That said, I have a slow metabolism.  If I don't eat right (and for me that's more about food choices than quantity), I'll blow up....just a genetic thing.  There's only so much time I can actually be working out.  Without exaggeration, if I don't eat about the same as my 5'4 119 pound wife, I'll start gaining weight.  And if that food happens to be carb-loaded or fried?  Forget it.  It's about picking and choosing.  Of course, it doesn't help that I'm obsessive-- when I'm on the wagon, I'm pristine; when I'm off, I'm way off.

That said, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone else does.  Except my dad-- he's about 5'5 350, and I could never get him to change his habits; that's really the only time I've actually nagged anyone about it.

why even live if you cant eat fried chicken

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

[rjs246]

Thin and drunk is far superior.

[Diomedes]

You left out smart.  Thin drunk and smart.

So what you're saying is that alcohol is the common denominator that binds us all and makes us human?

[Zanshin]

I was drunk last week for the first time in months.  I'm not against it, but I don't see the consistent allure.

[rjs246]

Those are words that I can't begin to understand.

[Zanshin]

Unless there's something you need to drink away; it dulls the senses, slows your reflexes, encourages stupidity, makes you more vulnerable to an attack, and leaves you feeling like shtein in the morning.  Nice change of pace, but as a constant...can't say I really see the benefit.

[rjs246]

Hahaha, 'leaves you vulnerable to attack.' Ha.

Don't you know that alcohol makes you invincible?

But seriously, I guess I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone, but the way I look at it is this:
Sobriety is boring. I hate being bored and try not to allow myself to be bored for more than a day or two a week.

IHOP CINNASTACKS HOLLA

[Butchers Bill]

I just ate a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit from a Pantry Food Mart.  For those of you that do not know, Pantry took over many of the "small" WaWa's in South Jersey and are basically a WaWa clone.  My question is, is it possible to eat something and no more than 90 seconds later to shtein it out?  I did't think it was possible, but I have been wrong before.   

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Seriously, IHOP has a genius idea... cut a cinnamon roll in half, dip it in egg and cook a la french toast, drizzle in cream cheese and more cinnamon filling... then dip each bite in syrup.

Oh, and I enjoyed some bacon as well.  Best breakfast ever... or at least it tasted like it today.

[ice grillin you]

sounds more like dessert than breakfast
