WHAT KlND OF DRUGS DO YOU TAKE?

 

[lazarus]

I'd like to see who the potential replacement would be before taking drastic measures. Because it could be worse.

Okay, $5000 and he takes out cock.i.am and MC Pee Pants as well, just in case.

Four Loko is not one of the major problems facing America. It's basically college kids who would have just ripped shots and chugged beers instead.

True, people will always find a way to get loaded in some form or another. The abject failure of Prohibition is proof enough of that.

I would also say, however, that the government has a responsibility to prevent obscenely dangerous products from wide, easily-accessible circulation.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Idiots that would rather be intoxicated than, you know, doing something with their life are so sad about the bans on their beloved Four Loko. This country is ridiculously depraved.

Welcome to a world with alcohol in it.

I'm not sure what I expected Roky Ericksons album to sound like, but it wasn't this. This is awesome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Sheff and Okkervil know how to breathe life into an aging rocker.

Now we just need that actual Okkervil record to drop.

 

[u2popmofo]

Some of my favorite songs this year are on the Roky album.

I agree.

Yet Taco Bell (AKA Diarrhea Party USA) continues to exist.

 

[powerhour24]

Good point, let's start a campaign to the FDA to ban Yum Brands in general.

 

[corianderstem]

I've never had an adverse reaction to Taco Bell.

[powerhour24]

The one time I had Taco Bell food I was in like the 2nd or 3rd grade... I had food poisoning for 2 weeks, needless to say I've never been back and never will.

 

[corianderstem]

The only fast food place I've gotten food poisoning from was Arby's. My god, I thought I was dying, I was so sick.

 

[powerhour24]

So I'm guessing you don't eat there anymore?

 

[corianderstem]

Nope. Never had another bite of Arby's.

 

[iron yuppie]

Ha, strangely enough, Taco Bell is easily the most vegetarian-friendly fast-food chain. They have given me something to eat on many road trips.

I guess I'll also now have to add this Roky/Okkervil album to the list of 2010 albums I still need to hear.

 

[PhilsFan]

The only fast food place I've gotten food poisoning from was Arby's. My god, I thought I was dying, I was so sick.

If it makes you feel better, the Arby's in State College got fucked up by a drunk driver driving his car into it and has been closed for a month or so. Take that, Arby's!

 

[powerhour24]

Nope. Never had another bite of Arby's.

So then you certainly get my Taco Bell sentiments.

 

[corianderstem]

I worked at my local Arby's for one summer during college. It wasn't until about 6-7 years later that I had the food poisoning.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm recently horrified by fast food in general, as I'm extremely late to having finally seen Super Size Me. I have a new female friend who's somewhat of a heath food type as well, and she also paints a disturbing picture of it.

That all said, I happily ate at Smash Burger last Friday.

 

[lazarus]

I try to avoid most fast food these days, but I do have fond memories of Arby's. Potato cakes, Arby's sauce...those were the days.

Now the only FF I get is the occasional In and Out Burger, and Chipotle, which I succumb to on a weekly basis. But I don't feel too bad about the latter because theyre very environmentally conscious and their food is actually good quality. Fucking love that place. And I gotta say, even living in Los Angeles with a million independent places to get Mexican food, I haven't had a better-tasting burrito than theirs.

 

[lazarus]

Also, I've never had food poisoning from Taco Bell, but that chain is the bottom of the fucking barrel. Absolute crap food.

 

[u2popmofo]

Have you weighed in on the new REM song yet, Laz?

 

[PhilsFan]

There's a McDonald's right fucking next to my dorm. I generally stay away but it's open 24 hours so it's the place to eat while drunk at 2:30 in the morning.

Five Guys is awesome.

At my job I'll occasionally indulge with Wendy's. The Baconator is delicious.

 

[Lancemc]

Taco Bell is little more than garbage... but holy fuck, crunch wrap supremes are delicious.

 

[corianderstem]

I have McDonald's about once a year, usually on my (usually) annual summer drive to the ocean, and there's a very convenient McDonald's I hit in Hoquiam, WA.

I know they're crap, but there's something about those half-assed little patties, the bun and the cheese that just calls to me. But only once a year.

 

[u2popmofo]

My favorite thing at McDonalds is the basic hamburger, the ones that used to be 59 cents in the '90's. It's uber basic, but thus, not too greasy or sickening.

 

[corianderstem]

That's my favorite, although I go with the basic cheeseburgers. No onions, no mustard. Not only do I avoid the things I don't care for, but then it gets made fresh.

My usual order is 2 li'l cheeseburgers and a small order of fries. Yum.

Here's something that might change your mind. My apologies in advance.
