AoN, today I was craving grease so with my egg whites I ordered sausage and although it initially looked great, I was sorely disappointed with the a.) texture and b.) flavor. I much prefer bacon. The bacon today looked fatty though. That was a turn off.

Ever imagine how hubby feels?

Never. Did I say that runners are never addicts? Besides, my starting premise was certain types of addicts and the role exercise can play in recovery. I'm not talking about practicing alcoholics or even those who make asses of themselves at the firm holiday party from one too many sips of bad red wine and fancy themselves bad boys.

Do you not care how much of how many's people's time you waste by doing this?

Yes, it was funny. I think he is more familiar with that phenom than I am.

I don't think I know how to make a scrambled egg that folds in on itself and stays folded, and cooks all the way through. I must be a sucky cook.

I love love love Arby's Beef n' cheddar with lots of Arby's sauce and potato cakes dipped in a mix of ketchup and Arby's sauce. I think I use a ratio of 1:2 ketchup to Arby's sauce.

But I love and will eat many, many kinds of fast food.

Someone at work who I think is (with reason) paranoid about getting laid off is trying to blame something on me while simultaneously saying no, she's not. Someone please slap her silly. On the plus side, no one other than her thinks that the something in question is all that important.

I don't know, but I have seeing ads here for a breakfast burrito at Sonic that has tater tots inside it. An idea whose time had come.

As far as geting the egg to fit on the biscuit, you may have nooticed, had you actually looked at the sandwich before cramming it down your throat, the egg is scrambled and folded.

You know what a fold is, don't you? It's those places between the rolls where your sweat collects.

"your" in the last sentence instead of "our" strikes me as dishonest.

It's called an infinite loop. Glass houses don't throw monkey shit.

Is it soaked in rich, creamery butter?

This is an article about a woman who tired to sell a mummy on eBay. Maybe I'm too morbid, or possibly not morbid enough, but I don't see why it's even an issue that requires writing about. It's an old skeleton, with some mummified flesh. No one has a clue who it is, no one is particularly attached to the person it once was, and it may have some value to someone else.

People used to bring back mummies by the boat load from Egypt in Victorian times. Collectors would prop them in the living room as a conversation piece. I'm not seeing that this is that big of a deal.

Is it illegal to possess unknown human remains?

ETA: A friend of mine makes art using human remains that he gets from funeral homes. People's get left there for decades, and eventually the funeral homes dispose of the remains. I suppose that one could not sell one of his paintings on ebay. (If you click on the link, each color in a painting is from a different person. I think it's pretty cool, but then I'm either too morbid or not morbid enough.)

Are seeing ads like seeing-eye dogs, sort of?

Burger, this is a reference to the post you quoted, not to the post you made.

Mmmmm, butter.

Cherry Limeade at Sonic also makes me happy. I haven't had one since I read the nutritional information though. I can't imagine that the new Diet Cherry Limeade even comes close to comparing.

*sigh* It's lunchtime and I'm hungry for stuff that's bad for me. I think I'll get a fish taco and munch on some chips.

Drink the diet cherry limeade. Love the diet cherry limeade. I have on more than one occasion contemplated a four hour (one-way) drive downstate to the nearest Sonic for a diet cherry limeade, footlong chili cheese dog and tater tots. I have never made the pilgrimage, but I have considered it.

I don't know what you are implying, but a "holiday Party" would offend the subgroup of people who choose not to celebrate any late December day. In our office we refer to this affair as "the late December Optional Get Together." And let me assure you that any party in which I'm involved would not have bad wine.

please do not take any of this as an invitation. Invitations will go out under PM to avoid offending the not invited.
