Microwave popcorn is terrible. Get the pizza. that actually has more than one food group in it. Theoretically.
I love microwave popcorn. I have the little single serving bags. It’s great.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
Microwave popcorn is good. Movie popcorn kills it though

Greasy is always good. My college town was garbage, all we had was Little Caesar’s and Pizza Hut.
Everybody should get ice cream every day.
I doubt your college town is a good town for pizza, given its region. But I don’t actually have any idea.
That said, even bad pizza is probably better than microwave popcorn.

Well, I just meant I eat random things that tend to make people go “hmm?” Protein shakes for breakfast, canned chicken and spring greens with no dressing for lunch… sometimes I’ll eat an entire cucumber and a can of tuna for dinner. Sometimes I’ll just have a cup of hot chicken broth.
Don't hassle me, I'm local.
I usually eat protein shakes for breakfast. This morning I had hemp protein mixed with Berry Green powder. It was pretty good until I got to the bottom of the glass and it was all grit.
Don't hassle me, I'm local.
I, too, am eating cereal. I’ll probably have something else later though.

Is anyone in that dugout mentoring Andy? It was cool watching him take pitches for a couple of weeks, but now it feels like that’s about all he can do. He’s gotta show us the stick.
This mathematical relation makes no sense to me.

Thanks gang. I was wondering how she sounded like a snobby sorority girl ordering pizza more than say, a humble farm girl getting her first taste of the big city. You all are a riot though.

Wow. Our Tri-Dels don’t do that. They ask people from Cincinatti if Ohio is on the coast.

Ohio is on the coast. The North Coast. Cincinnati, however, is not on the North Coast.

8 innings, 4 hits, 1 run, 0 BB, 10 K for Carrasco. Almost certainly done at 100 pitches even. Big start.
Wow. That’s encouraging. Although, this was what he was supposed to do at AAA, correct?

Yeah but he’s 22. That’s freaking fantastic regardless of if it was expected. I’m going to laugh when Drabek is a crappy reliever and Carrasco is a premier front of the rotation stater.

I used to think those were the best, until I had the Jalapeno Cheetos. Apparently a trend is emerging.
I really like the Jalepeno, but Flamin’ Hot is still the winner to me.
Everybody should get ice cream every day.
What did you think of the Flamin’ Hot huge balls (wow that looks so awful written)?
Everybody should get ice cream every day.
I’m glad I know what you’re talking about. I didn’t try them, though. That whole idea seemed kind of pointless to me.

I tried to invent chicken corn (chicken flavored popcorn) based on my love of Chicken in a Biscuit.
It was… unsuccessful.
I have a popcorn popper that you can use to make kettle corn. I thought, “Ooh, chicken bouillon! I’ll just use oil and bouillon!”
Um.
No.
I want to start a gourmet French Fry business.
All sorts of flavors: Sun Dried Tomato, Bacon Ranch, Chili Cheddar, White Cheddar, Sour Cream and Onion, etc.
Not toppings but flavor fried right into the potato.
Usually, an incredible waste of pixels.
I thought for years that Weird Al should do a parody of Yes’ “Leave It” as an ode to Cheez Its. Probably a little too esoteric.

Most people don’t realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. “Oh, no,” I said, “Disneyland burned down.” He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
