      - PINK2 is at $.23 -- nm - peglegpete Feb 21, 17:39

      - Blech - fresh cut fries should be a delectable treat - where you can't decide between ketchup - malt vinegar - or just salt. -- nm - JenBro Feb 21, 17:06 9
        
        pete's haterism on this point is well established - the fries are quite good - prayformojo Feb 21, 17:08 5

        fwiw, the one and only time I have tried them so far, they were pretty gross. I'd try again, based on your/other folks' recs; but - b. Feb 21, 17:14 2
        
        I went 3 times over 6 weeks, and basically no difference in how anything was cooked and presented. I gave them a chance to debug the system -- nm - peglegpete Feb 21, 17:16 1
        
        I think, as Jen says, it must vary by location. I just took a quick look at Yelp for our local locations, and there's a definite separation. - b. Feb 21, 17:20
        
        or the chili dripping off the sides of the burger :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 21, 17:07 1

Companions complain their mate shouldn't have gone without a shield-sibling... then everyone sends you out on missions alone. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu!! -- nm - Qale Feb 21, 16:48 9
- I have lost count of how many times I start reading one of your posts as if it's an IRL comment only to realize 3/4ths of the way - JenBro Feb 21, 16:52 6

  - More like the Silver Hand. I've finally got the hang of being a werewolf. But the downsides are still too great to do it other than for lulz. -- nm - Qale Feb 21, 16:52

hmm, a nearby police department just tweeted the C30 bill (the "if you oppose it, you stand with the child pornographers" bill). Here's my response. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 21, 16:38 4
- Of course the police support a bill that lets ISPs do their work for them. -- nm - Qale Feb 21, 16:42 1
  - Yeah ... and of course it'll only be used to chase bad guys, despite the sweeping powers it gives them. - Beryllium Feb 21, 16:43
- *puts you on the list* *promptly loses the list* -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Feb 21, 16:40 1
  - Yeah, I don't know how they can concentrate on supporting this legislation when half the police forces in the area don't have time between beatings -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 16:41
Thanks, you guys. - Dr.Vermin Feb 21, 16:33 3

Did I tell you guys (no - I didn't) about the brownie-s'mores (or s'more-brownies?) that Heather made this weekend? - prayformojo Feb 21, 16:29 5
- And you didn't tell us how the root beer pulled pork was either! -- nm - Stephen Feb 21, 16:35 2
  - It was really good - excellent tip! (you could actually taste the root beer a bit) - prayformojo Feb 21, 16:39 1
    - Awesome! -- nm - Stephen Feb 21, 17:06
- yeah, but: the red velvet brownies she made were even better -- nm - prayformojo Feb 21, 16:32 1
  - What is a red velvet brownie? -- nm - the liioulu with girl scout cookies Feb 21, 16:41
just take the fall, you're one of us. the spotlight is on, oh the spotlight is on, oh. -- nm - b. Feb 21, 16:25
