Watching The Best Thing I Ever Ate the other night, I had an idea for something, but can't figure out how to make it work (this may turn off some) - prayformojo Jul 29, 19:46 11
- Make your Mac & Cheese, put it in a loaf pan packed down hard, put it in the fridge overnight. Turn it out, cut slices and deep fry. Fry your chicken - Trish (Hail to the V!) Jul 29, 22:54
- Simple! You cut the donut in half and insert the burger patty. -- nm - Mop Jul 29, 20:14
- Instead of macaroni, you could use something like orzo or risoni. And you'd want to flour the chicken after dunking it in the mac and cheese - Roger More Jul 29, 20:09
- the problem I see with this is that it takes high heat to cook the chicken, which would kill the mac. -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:06
- serve the on the same plate. that's as close as they should come. - colin Jul 29, 20:05 3
  - idea.. get breasts with skin on.. remove skin, cook chicken, wrap chicken with mac and cheese, then the skin.. deep fry that sucker. - colin Jul 29, 20:07 2
    - the only problem is the skin won't fit (so you must acquit!) -- nm - loosilu Jul 29, 20:13
    - although you might need more skin than one breast supplies.. like a 2:1 skin to chicken ratio... - colin Jul 29, 20:08
- nah, just pair it with deep-fried mac&cheese nuggets -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 19:56
- other than crispy chow mein noodles, I can't think of any noodle that tastes good when its fried to crunchyness - zeitgeist Jul 29, 19:56
- What if you used a boneless breast and wrapped it around the mac and cheese and then fried it? -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 19:55
you know we can argue on many things, but we can agree that Season 4 of the west wing was the best season. - tRuMaN Jul 29, 19:37 15
- Not even close. 2 - 1 - 7 - 3 - 4 - 6 - 5 -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 19:55
- No, but I heard a brass quintet playing the first Noel, so I just assumed somebody somewhere was locked and loaded. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 29, 19:47 3
  - You know, not for nothing but the people that I talk to don't believe that story and the people that you'd like, don't care. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 19:52 2
    - Ohhh, what's the story? This one sounds juicy. -- nm - Trish (Hail to the V!) Jul 29, 22:50 1
      - (it's a quote from an episode of WW) -- nm - Stephen Jul 29, 23:04

    - The secretary dies in Season 2, Episode 21. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 19:58 5
      - And the re-election is Sorkin's wet dream fantasy of what Gore should have done to Bush - Will Hunting Jul 29, 19:59 4
        
        Yeah, that went poorly. - spamlet Jul 30, 07:39
        
        That is when I started to lose interest, until the middle/end of Season 6 -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 20:02 2
        
        should watch season 7 really strong -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 08:26
        
        Yep. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 20:03
    - right on the second and third items. - Tim Jul 29, 19:54
  - My answer exactly. Really need to start watching this again. -- nm - Jelly Jul 29, 19:48
I am going to keep playing Kelly Clarkson until somebody else shows up in turntable -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 19:36

- also, Cowboys and Aliens was beyond terrible... -- nm - colin Jul 29, 19:33 11
  - but our local movie reviewer gave it five stars! -- (link) - TFox Jul 29, 19:49 2
    - Hahaha! - kelly Jul 30, 05:06
    - yeaaah... he's... something. -- nm - colin Jul 29, 19:56
  - Damn I really wanted it to be good...Without giving away too much, why is it bad? -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 19:40 3
    - acting is pretty bad, everybody is a caricature, but not in a fun way.. - colin Jul 29, 19:41 2
      - i wanted to to be good as well, but i can't really avoid the truth. - colin Jul 29, 19:43 1
        
        oof. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 29, 20:01
  - shut it -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 19:39 3
    - Stereotypes and Aliens is more like it! -- nm - colin Jul 29, 19:40 2
      - Stereotypes exist for a reason. It's because most people fit into one whether the like it or not.We don't live in a world of unique little snowflakes - Trish (Hail to the V!) Jul 29, 23:04 1
        
        I'm a unique snowflake, dammit! -- nm - spamlet Jul 30, 07:40
Lost in this debt ceiling debacle is how it all could have been avoided last year....if not for Harry Reid - Stephen Jul 29, 18:59 37
- I tried! -- nm - Sharron Angle Jul 29, 21:12 1
  - I did say credible, didn't I? - Stephen Jul 29, 21:32
- "let the next guy worry about it" does seem to be the foundation of most financial woes. - Dr.Vermin Jul 29, 19:54 7
  - The key aspect "Since they'll have the spot at the table." --- this was late in the game...the point when it would be a pseudo lame duck action. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 19:57 6
    - So it was ok to pass healthcare when there was a Democratic majority in the House, the Senate, and a Democratic President...but not when it came to - Stephen Jul 29, 19:59 5
      - Why should he have tried, when the GOP would have filibustered it in the Senate - znufrii Jul 29, 20:04
      - Read the timeline of your quote. They *knew* the GOP had a seat at the table. Meaning it was October 2010'ish at least...if not later - Will Hunting Jul 29, 20:02 3
        
        December, actually. But regardless, arguing "you should have gotten this done before us children came in and made it impossible" - TFox Jul 29, 20:04 2
        
        Heh. -- nm - mara Jul 29, 20:08
        
        Even better...it was a lame-duck decision that the GOP was already hijacking to keep the Bush tax cuts for the rich. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 20:06
- how dare he consider the other party! -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 19:40 18
  - *snort* - Stephen Jul 29, 20:03 17
    - You win the last election, you get to control the rules till the next one is the common protocol - Will Hunting Jul 29, 20:13 6
      - And yet it didn't stop the House and Senate from passing other key pieces of legislation during the "lame duck" session. - Stephen Jul 29, 20:35 5
        
        Sure they did....they had 41 votes in the Senate. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 20:45 4
        
        If i'm reading this right, Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal only had 5 Republicans vote in favor. - Stephen Jul 29, 20:49 2
        
        Yep...which kept it in play. If the GOP was united as they had been so many times in the past 2 years, it wouldn't have passed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 21:07
        
        If you're seriously suggesting that any of them would have bucked their party supported a Democratic effort to raise the debt ceiling in the aftermath - znufrii Jul 29, 20:52
        
        42, actually. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 29, 20:48
    - But who cares? It's his fault because he knew the Republican caucus was going to be a band of cocksmiths right now? - TFox Jul 29, 20:05 9
      - "*this doesn't mean I'm absolving/not blaming the current set of clowns for what's happening now. " - Stephen Jul 29, 20:06 8
        
        "you fucked up. you trusted us." -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 20:23 5
        
        I will admit, I thought I agreed with the Tea Party, in principle, but if this is how they go about getting smaller government, count me out. - Stephen Jul 29, 20:53 4
        
        Their stance is a blueprint example of people talking about math and economics without understanding it. -- nm - David Jul 29, 22:16
        
        I think you have that last sentence backwards? -- nm - znufrii Jul 29, 20:57 1
        
        Yes. I did get that backwards. -- nm - Stephen Jul 29, 20:59
        
        *note* I did not vote for a Tea Party candidate in the last election. -- nm - Stephen Jul 29, 20:56
        
        So you are saying the Republicans 6 months ago were a little less douches then they are now? - amoxy Jul 29, 20:09
        
        yeah, but then... what is the point? - TFox Jul 29, 20:07
- so wait, you would rather have had a partisan bill to complain about, instead of an act of at least attempted bipartisan governing? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 19:38
- So you'd be hapy if the a heavily Democrat-run body ram-rodded this through. I believe that. -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 19:10 2
  - yeah, *that* would've gone over well - znufrii Jul 29, 19:22
  - Like the healthcare bill. -- nm - Dano Jul 29, 19:13
- We're now going to blame him for not pushing through a partisan measure when it was apparent the other side would have a seat at the table? - Will Hunting Jul 29, 19:06 2
  - Wait a second, you actually think he cared about input from the other side? - Stephen Jul 29, 19:58 1
    - I'm sorry, I assumed simply that given the GOP's caused about 60% fo the debt, and had just kicked the shit out of the House Dems, that - Will Hunting Jul 29, 20:09
- This is a load of crap and you are better than this -- nm - amoxy Jul 29, 19:05
does anyone know what the font is in the Archer title sequence? does it exist? - TFox Jul 29, 18:57 9
- nevermind, i found it. -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 19:06 8
  - *phew* -- nm - kelly Jul 29, 19:09 7
    - Woman.... - TFox Jul 29, 19:17 6
      - see? *see?!* -- (link) - TFox Jul 29, 19:45 5
        
        meh. -- nm - kelly Jul 29, 20:14 3
        
        I've always hated you. -- nm - TFox Jul 29, 20:19 1
        
        likewise. -- nm - kelly Jul 29, 20:30

  - ... and does it slightly better than the US government. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 18:50 4
    - Who doesn't? -- nm - El Pollo Rojo Loco Jul 29, 18:52 3
      - All the people that have more than 73 billion dollars in reserve. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 18:55

      - borders -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 18:52
SITWAP. I like this casting, Trinity to join Chuck for its final season! -- (link) - Stephen Jul 29, 18:45 2
- I am hoping this last season really brings it. Would be a great way for it to end. -- nm - Spawn Jul 29, 18:50 1
  - Yup, and i'm really liking the special casting so far. - Stephen Jul 29, 19:01
