What's your pleasure, friend? If I recall correctly, rum is your thing...

That’s what my parents do. And I would, if I had a family of my own. My mom is ethnically Jewish and I was raised Unitarian. But we still did it right, damn it! Bring in the tree Christmas Eve. Decorate it after dinner (Chinese takeout). Keep it up for 12 days.

As nice as it might be for Pat and this community to make peace, I kind of doubt he would be interested in posting here. He runs his own world now. But I thank him for mentioning VGS. Maybe some of his fans will check us out and join.

Fuck the Joel thread. Stupid never ending beat a dead horse into the ground jokes without a punch line.

Living room. We had a pretty big house, but my parents would never allow more than one TV in the house (or cable, or a TV with a remote control. Eventually we got VCR. And a computer, after my dad needed to have one at home for work.) Eventually we got the attic finished, and a new model TV up there, but I was pretty much on my way out by then. Anyway, in my game days, there was one armchair close enough to the TV for playing Nintendo. Since I was older, I usually took that while my brother sat on the floor.

Oh my god. This looks amazing.

OK... what I said is, the bun isn’t a big deal. Regardless of how easily we can or can’t cook different things to put on it. And you can get a breast with their great batter, without the sandwich. But I haven’t had Popeye’s in maybe ten years, and KFC probably longer. So yes I guess I do live in an alternate reality.

No. I eat fast food rarely. Popeye’s is good, sure. I like it better than Church’s or McDonald’s. Not as much as KFC. I refuse to go to Chick Fil A due to their homophobic actions. Not sure I’ve ever had chicken from Wendy’s. The fries aren’t exclusive to the sandwich. I can buy similar buns at the grocery store, and I do sometimes for my own sandwiches or burgers. Not that I fry chicken at home, just saying why I don’t see that as the big deal people make it out to be. So it’s big? It’s a good deal for the price? OK I’ll check it out next time I go to the strip mall if there’s not a line. I guess I just don’t understand why it’s such a big deal to put an item that they already have in a better than crap bun with minimal fixins. Good on the marketing team.

It’s fried chicken with pickles and spicy mayo on a brioche bun. I don’t get it either.

But... but you’re a cat!

Oh, I always liked your name. But I changed mine too. Good to see ya.

I’m a 911 operator I think I would enjoy that. Even if it’s not cool. Sounds like good, honest work, and I like a job where you walk the floor, something that I’m currently missing. I have enjoyed jobs refurbishing computers, un /loading trucks, and picking warehouse orders. Standing and /or moving all day can be good for you, if your employer is not an asshole *cough cough Amazon* balance and appropriate rest and conditions are needed.

wow. I’ve blacked out on alcohol before, didn’t know it could happen on energy drinks. Very interesting how the human body and mind handles and reacts to different things for different people.

BTW. Thanks for this little tidbit. Very interesting; I never would have thought that was how they did those.

I’ve never seen these before. Pretty cool. edit: LOOKS COOL

haha, we are all new here! Good to see ya.

Rum! Tell me more

I have never gone to the gym. Exercising for its own sake is a big turnoff to me. But I stay active other ways. As for food. I don’t like soda, so that’s an easy one for me. I avoid fast food; only get it a few times a year. I check ingredients and avoid versions that contain sugar. It’s in a lot of places you wouldn’t expect, and really unnecessary. I also limit how much meat I eat, and have been considering portion sizes in general— Now it’s one egg, or one sandwich, or one egg sandwich at a time, instead of two. All that did me ok, but this year I wasn’t really liking how I looked. I decided to start weighing myself regularly, and found I was gaining weight. So I made these changes. #1 substitutions in stuff I ate often: Egg whites instead of eggs. Whole grains instead of pasta. Barley and oat groats are my favorite so far. #2 cut out stupid snacking. It’s ok to eat for fun when you’re not actually hungry... once in a while. Not every day. Lost 30+ pounds and looking better.

Hmm... Lots. I suck at video games. But there’s a few mentioned here that I have down, so I don’t feel too bad. Favorite: maybe Rolling Thunder. Most recently: Crystalis and Guardian Legend. Something not on NES: BloodRayne.

I do. But there was no reason to say or think anything about it unless one’s opinion was, or could be taken as, not overwhelmingly positive. Which would then get shouted down because “the founders are good guys /from our community”

I don’t know. This has never been even close to a problem. I am also asking how the hell. Something wrong with you guys

Way to go! So cool that you were able to make it happen.
