        this is odd to me. - groiny Jan 14, 15:06 1
        
        I'd only eaten homemade sauce by mom or grandmother and she knew I'd hate their sauce. - Krusty Jan 14, 15:12
        
        Actually I've always preferred the regular ravioli. I think I feel gyped by the mini ones. Spaghetti-O's with sliced franks is great too. - pmb Jan 14, 15:04 11

        you've tried spaghetti-o's as an adult? -- nm - b. Jan 14, 15:05 4
        
        Absolutely. It's one of my "don't feel like cooking" meals. -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 15:09 3
        
        my brutha. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:16
        
        oops. sorry for calling your tastebuds juvenile, then. -- nm - b. Jan 14, 15:12 1
        
        My tastebuds are probably on the low end of the juvenile things about me. - pmb Jan 14, 15:15
        
        I used to live on the Chili Mac, but got sick once, and can not eat it now. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 15:05

        Best stuff is the Bob Evans mac n cheese in the refrigerated section. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 14, 15:03
        
        I'm with ya man. Some mock my love for Hormel chili. I mock their mockatude. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 15:01
        
        i just threw up. not in my mouth so much as all over the floor. -- nm - CQ Jan 14, 15:01
      - blech. Buy a box of bowtie pasta, and melt a half loaf of velveeta in it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 14:59 3
        
        I never thought to try bowties, good idea. I use good ol' elbows, add butter, a bit of milk and slices of am. cheese from the deli. - Krusty Jan 14, 15:02 2
        
        I am big on mixing the velveeta and some salsa in the noodles. - groiny Jan 14, 15:03 1

      - I get home at 8:40pm on a regular basis. So i really have zero time to cook. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:00 3
        
        Get the Kraft Easy Mac stuff. It takes 2 minutes in the microwave. -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 15:03 2
        
        he would have to eat like 4 of them. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 15:04 1
        
        You can make more than 1. They also have larger packages of them. -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 15:10
    - you got time to duck? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 14:58
- Because you should be looking for Kraft Mac and cheese. -- nm - pmb Jan 14, 14:54

        You saw Rodney Peete at the top of USC's list, right? - Reagen Jan 14, 15:14 7
        
        Dan McGwire - a lovely Seahawk draft pick during the dark years of the 1990s -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:17
        
        And? (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 15:17 4
        
        fwiw, Carson Palmer will soon replace Peete on top of that list -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:18 3
        
        He didn't look right down the stretch this year. -- nm - David Jan 14, 15:25

        And here I thought there were more SEC starters in the NFL right now than any other team. - David Jan 14, 15:21 10
        
        So what you're saying is the the SEC just sucks at making QBs? (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 15:22 9
        
        Why, the best QB of all time is barely even from the SEC! -- nm - David Jan 14, 15:23 8
        
        I stand corrected, I thought Johnny Unitas went to Louisville. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 15:25 4

        He has more Super Bowl rings than Marino -- nm - amoxy Jan 14, 15:29 1
        
        I don't think inadequate defenses are a way to measure a QB's ability -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:32

        So I guess this doesn't include 2009? (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 15:08 1
        
        yeah this is from that thing I linked to that was written in August - I knew that USC would still be #1 so I felt safe using it - crash davis Jan 14, 15:11
        
        Shouldn't Sanchez be on the list? -- nm - amoxy Jan 14, 15:08 1
