Meat is the New Tobacco
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 12:33 PM) I can subsist on twinkies too. I fail to see how that is relevant to the discussion. The level of meat consumption is not "abnormal". Historically, humans had diets ranging from fully vegetarian all the way to fully carnivorous and usually various levels between, based on what their environment could readily provide. There is no "normal" or "abnormal" on the scale of how much meat vs vegetable matter people consume. Wasn't their some crazy stat that the guys on the Lewis and Clark expedition ate like 20k calories a day and like 95% of that was meat. I don't think there's a one right answer for something like diet. It depends on the person and their lifestyle.

Best regional chains
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 11:33 PM) Happy Joe's is my favorite regional pizza chain around Eastern Iowa. Before that, Rocky Roccoco Pizza, especially in Iowa City. Oh man, every time I visit my sister and her family in the quad cities I demand a taco pizza from Happy Joes. Easily the best taco pizza i've ever had.

Missed his first few jump shots so he stopped playing defense. And he's going against a more physical team, so he's getting outplayed.

Best regional chains
QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) I have had 5 Guys three times at three different locations. At every one, I was given a soggy bag full of limp, greasy fries. Absolutely terrible. And even more annoying when your restaurant is filled with arrogant "Best Fries Ever!" posters. Agreed that the fries are overrated, but that's a personal preference. Some people like the big, soggy fries, others (me) like the basically all crisp fries (shoe string are the best). But the burgers are still really, really good.

Do you piss in sinks?
I've been known to drink too much while watching the Bulls/Bears/Sox/Illini and been too lazy to walk upstairs. So i'll use the utility sink in my basement. Never a real bathroom sink though. I'm also a routine pisser in the shower.

QUOTE (juddling @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 09:49 AM) He was one of the few characters i could stand. He may not have had a popular viewpoint of the world they were in but at least the writers had an idea of where he fit in the group as opposed to say T-dog. T-dog had one line and even that line got interrupted. Ha Ha Still....i had to laugh in the fact that I thought that was really dumb too.

I think that episode of Walking Dead would have worked really well if the writers had set up these characters better. Instead it was sill mostly a snooze fest.

QUOTE (The Baconator @ Mar 4, 2012 -> 05:13 PM) Portillo's, Jimmy John's, and Potbelly. Never knew how much I loved those three until I can't have them anymore. And may I just say, I don't want to see Five Guys anywhere near this list. It's a trashcake chain; you only like it because people WANT you to like it. Sit down and actually eat one of those burgers and you'll realize that it isn't nearly as delicious as people claim it is, especially for the price. Disagree completely about five guys. The best burger ever? Hardly. But its still really good and one of my favorites.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) An interesting take on Lebron by Deadspin I actually agree with this. But you know what? I could care less if the criticism isn't 100% warranted. That's what happens when you label yourself the king without stepping foot on an NBA court and demand the world's attention. f*** Lebron.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 02:44 PM) AV club made a good point about Awake. The pilot is awesome gives you this amazing set up to the world these characters especially Issacs lives in and then next week it just becomes a procedural show with a twist. Procedural shows bore me to tears. Especially cop procedurals. So as much as the idea sounds awesome, as a series, I don't know if it would keep my interest... I'm gonna give it a go. My only problem is the conclusion can only be that he's dead or in a coma right? Anything else and it would be kinda silly.
