Quotin' this. There once was a time when I could put back 2 5 layer burritos and not even flinch. If I counted the number of calories i've consumed from that place throughout the years, I'd be a very depressed man :v:

When I was 18 I could put down 3 double Whoppers without breaking a sweat. Just the thought of doing that today makes me sick to my stomach.

Two five-layer burritos is easy. Still bad for you, but easy.

Three whoppers? I'm having a difficult time imagining. The thing about Taco Bell is that everything is made out of the same stuff. They have six ingredients, and it seems that in-house meal designers were told to go wild with them. Hence a quesadilla/burrito hybrid.

My metabolism was insane back then. My ability to consume fries was something of a local legend in 1997.

Did a small pork roast on the rotisserie tonight. My god it was heaven, I just basted it ever 10-15 minutes with a little BBQ sauce and did a high heat to make a crust. Seriously, if you have a rotisserie, break it out and get cooking.

I cooked a small steak, chopped it up and dumped it over rice with some ginger sauce. Was pretty delicious.

The good news is that with Obamacare, they can't deny him insurance. They can make it completely unaffordable, but they can't turn him away. It isn't a bad time of year for a benefit garage sale, followed with a donations-accepted spaghetti dinner.

Just don't hold it anywhere near that ghetto you live in.

He's not working at all right now, and his COBRA benefits just ran out so he's still waiting to hear back on the MERICACare bullshit. He has a substantial savings and has so many health issues he thinks it'd be more worthwhile to spend the year living life rather than treating it again. This is the second time now and he nearly died last time.

And he wants to leave me all his poo poo when he dies. I didn't know how to react to that at all.

The cable was clipped so I'll need to replace that to make it work. Anyone familiar with this brand?

I'm sitting here seriously contemplating placing an order with a Chinese clothing supplier for socks in bulk. I have this dream of wearing a brand new pair of socks every single loving day for the rest of my life. Going over the numbers, the minimum order will run me $600 and last me nine goddamned years.

Are they all going to be the same socks, or do you get a large variety? My sock preferences change from year to year and also depending on the season. With shorts it's just low cut synthetic below the ankle socks that you mostly can't see. With pants I have wool, cotton, synthetic, and different colors and patterns depending on the shoes and clothes I'm wearing. Last winter it was a pretty even mix of argyle and bright colors and stripes. Then as they wear out (my favorite purple argyle socks had to go in the trash recently) I buy new stuff that I like.

I have worn essentially the same style sock for the better part of the last 5 years. Ankle-length white socks.
