Jax, once we figure out the mechanics of the Nightfall, I have no problem helping you get through it. - groiny Oct 18, 09:54 7
- yup, jax, crash, krusty, all should be able to get through it with at least one of us directing, after we have a chance to experience it. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 18, 10:12
- This one is the easiest. Throw all the grenades. -- nm - Shaun Oct 18, 09:56 5

If you've never had a Maid Rite loose meat sandwich, y'all are missing out. -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Oct 18, 09:53 22

  - So in conclusion, literally every world cuisine does loose meat actually. I can hear them all saying in unison "Here we just call it meat" -- nm - con_carne Oct 18, 10:25 1
    - see, that sounds so much more appetizing! -- nm - ty97 Oct 18, 10:55
  - It's basically a not-as-goopy version of sloppy joes with much better seasoning. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 18, 09:59
  - a picture is helpful... it's actually not that bad looking. -- (link) - colin Oct 18, 09:59 [Image] 6

  - also known as "sloppy joe" -- nm* - Strongbad Oct 18, 09:57
  - Ground beef. -- nm - spamlet Oct 18, 09:56
  - ground or shredded meat, silly ty -- nm - decline Oct 18, 09:56 1
    - Does this include pulled pork? (No sandwich discussion is complete without an argument on definition) -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 10:16
New Ultraviolet/Movies Anywhere test: I just bought Gremlins for the group. - David Oct 18, 09:53 2

- UV code redeemed on Vudu, right? -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 18, 11:12
