As your doctor, I recommend you take MDMA or MDE every other weekend for 3-4 months. That will get you out of your shell.

Then see a good doctor and get some good anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs.

Note: must be in this order or the SSRIs will block the MDMA effects.

This is actually an unfairly good analogy for what my friends at M&A shops do.

It is, however, great fun to be the one regulatory attorney in the room full of transactional folks.

A good hunk of the weight of the first one was meat because the people i was making it for didn't want any onions/pico/guac. So the inaugural megarito was black beans, refried beans, seasoned ground beef, queso, shredded cheese, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, and a little fire sauce.





It was solid as any burrito should be when rolled and could support it's own weight thanks to my double hulled design.

Edit: the handle on my cold table is around 5" long for size comparison.

Are there any goverment jobs that would hire a Canadian under TN?I generally assume no but may I should ask just to be sure. I turned down an interview with the Federal Reserve because although they are technically not "government" and not bound by any such rules their policy was still to hire Americans preferentially or at best, foreigners on their way to becoming Americans.

The state can hire whoever the gently caress they want as long as have the right to work here. Peace officer jobs are more restrictive.

Look at this scrub without canned motions.
My canned kitchen sink style suppression motion (that I mostly wrote and personally updated) won more hearings than I think anyone in my office when I worked there.

Kitchen sink motions are the best, if they are allowed where you are, because they allow you to include your killer case without tipping off the witness as to what not to testify to. Judges gripe about them and then grant the motion.
The key is to have a basic kitchen sink motion, delete the stuff that clearly doesn't apply, and add anything that you need in the middle. Then be prepared to argue the gently caress out of the case (and bring a few copies as the judge may need to read it). 1538s (motions to suppress in CA) were like one of the few things I was pretty good at and that motion was key.

I totally didn't take any pictures tonight. One of my regulars tried the megarito. He got about half done in 15 minutes and hit the wall. Had to take the rest home.



I didn't toast that one as well as the original but he said it was delicious while he could still eat.

That reminds me of the 4 lb burrito at the NASCAR Cafe that used to be at the Sahara in Vegas. (RIP)

They had a challenge too. I heard it was super difficult to finish. Man V Food featured it and Joey Chestnut had a cameo eating it.

What about escalating challenges? Like a 3, 4, and 5 lb burrito with varying prizes?

This was the failed one pre-roll. It has refried beans, black beans, chicken, carnitas, pico de gallo, salsa, jalapenos, lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and i think some chili.

Guy that finished his had beef, chicken, carnitas, refried bean, pico, lettuce, fritos, salsa, jalapenos, sour cream, chili, and a shitload of cheese. I'm basically going to sell them by weight with whatever toppings that people want. Gonna have to weigh at least 4 lbs or something but i'll fill it with whatever people want.
