  - Ingrown thumb nail? -- nm - Spawn May 16, 12:20 1
    - Yeah, that's what I'm thinking and if so...that's like nothing. - Will Hunting May 16, 12:23
I'd say our last casual dining was The Habit, but since they can't cook their meat anythin less than medium I guess they're considered fast food... - SGTAmerica #TeamCap May 16, 12:17

      - so their cutting back on the stale bread product that's the best thing they have?....nm - x May 16, 12:23 1
        
        Their breadsticks are chewy, not stale. Plus loaded in butter so it's really a garlic butter delivery device. -- nm - spamlet May 16, 12:24

      - On the court, I can't hate him...he's for the most part an incredible player. - Will Hunting May 16, 12:22
      - I hate him on the court less than Jordan. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 12:12 3
        
        Lebron wants to be liked so bad but will probably never earn the respect on the court that Jordan did - senor dentista May 16, 12:18

- although it sounds like originally priced at more like $750k: "After 24 hours, there was a bully offer for $246,000 over asking" -- nm - senor dentista May 16, 12:05 1

        I still have mine (basically laziness) -- nm - decline May 16, 12:08
