But so is parsley. But in combination with other things, it serves its role well.

what the fuck are you saying? parsley is useless. what, taboulli? that shit sucks, and it sucks BECAUSE of the parsley. Chinese parsly OTOH is sublime.

It's impossible to compare plans effectively. The only thing I've found it worth doing is figuring out
1) Is your primary care doc. on the new plan
2) What's the copay and annual deductible
3) What's coverage for any care you're likely to need in the near future (e.g., eyes, babies, etc.)
4) Rx coverage (copay/deductible).

Ok, I take back what I said about you.

2 words: Butter ball. Never fails to yield a ton of moist white meat.

And as far as the pizza goes I would order a whole pie of burnt crust if I could.

I will eat the moist white meat, but the darker stuff has twice the flavor, no matter how juicy you can get the white stuff. Try it this holiday.

Eh, those places are overrated, anyway. Jim's or Del'Assandro's make some high quality steaks. You'd also be surprised at how good the quality of meat is (ok, so it's no filet mignon, but still). I also say no to the cheese wiz - I go with American cheese.

Damn, you know the inside joints. You've been a here a bit...

If I can get either of those, I'm going with the sauteed broccoli rabe and chicken grinder from Tony Luc's (is that how it's spelled?).

Now I understand.

A few of the symptoms of mercury poisoning:

1. Psychological Disturbances (erethysm)
Irritability, Nervousness, Fits of Anger, Memory Loss, Lack of Attention, Anxiety, Drowsiness, Decline of Intellect, Low Self Control.

2. Gastrointestinal Effects
Abdominal Cramps, Colitis, Crohn's disease, Gastrointestinal Problems, Diarrhea.

3. Systemic Effects
Cardiovascular, Irregular Heart Beat, Changes in Blood Pressure, Feeble or Irregular Pulse, Pain or Pressure in Chest

4. Neurologic
Chronic or Frequent Headaches, Dizziness, Ringing or Noises in Ears, Fine Tremors (Hands, Feet, Eye Lids, Tongue)

For a bit more:

"...The primary symptoms of mercury-poisoning are vague psychic ones. Short-time memory deteriorates. You will find it difficult to concentrate on tasks which require attention and thinking. It is easier to execute tasks that are well known rather than to learn something new. You avoid social contacts which demand that you get out of your introvert behavior. You loose your temper easily and switch between different moods for no particular reason. More and more effort is required to initiate activities and sometimes break things due to inability to co-ordinate your movements with your visual impressions (ataxia)..."

I've been there a few times. Tony Luke just won a throw down against Bobby Flay using the broccoli rabe and hot peppers 'steak. (My wife watches anything on the food tv, but watching a cheesesteak throw down wasn't bad.)

Sure, but I just can't bring myself to put tomato sauce up my ass.

1. Soaking sauce up with rice is disgusting. Why not just get a loaf of Wonder and dip pieces into a tub of (insert condiment)?

These two sentences are so unrelated that your point has gone so far past ridiculous, that it is actually heading back towards making sense.

Wait. No. I'm thinking of something else. But I'm not going to waste my time with some idiot who thinks dipping Wonder bread in ketchup is a similar experience to chicken korma served over rice.

2. That people live on rice elsewhere is immaterial. I live on seafood. I like it. If somebody likes rice, that's fine. But he shouldn't go off telling me how its tastier than it could clearly, objectively, ever be.

No. He should. Because you get worked up over rice and it's fun for him.

3. If bread is the highlight of the dining, you're getting robbed.

Sometimes. Sometimes it's just really good bread. But the existence of the bread has nothing to do with whether or not I'm getting robbed. The meal would otherwise be the same anyway. And bread is free.

4. Agreed on the pizza thing.

BAM! In yo' face!

I had Unicare until this year. I under-utilized it just as well as I now under-utilize my BCBS. I saw no discernable difference. But then, I'm funding all you family-havers.

I like wild rice, and it's pretty good for you. Skip the taters with your steak and go for the wild rice.

2. I am also a fan of brown rice and beans. I am also a fan of ugali and polenta and couscous as side dishes.
