You know, once you’re done smothering your salad in marinated artichoke hearts, olive slices, bacon bits, and bleu cheese dressing, it’s not any less fattening—or any more healthy—than a Good Times double cheese burger and a large side of onion rings. Which, by the way, is absolutely filthy with protein.
So. Stop living the lie, people.
I’ll have both.
Oh, and a Diet Coke.
Thank you.
TW=youre47. Creepily close.
Hmmmm.
Great. Now I’m really fricking hungry.
heh. Spamword: “food54”
TW=nowserving#56
That’s strange.
Grrrr…
One and a half hours until I weigh-in, Jeff. Last time I weighed in, two weeks ago, I was 3.6 pounds away from losing 100 total.
And now I’m hungry.
For a bleu cheese burger, onion rings, and a Coke.
Congrats on the weight loss!
But avoid those salads. They’re SILENT KILLERS!
You forgot the dipping sauce. and as long as you’re going that far, go ahead and grab me a frozen custard.
Just finish it off with some soothing atheroscleroffsets.
Salad is not food, it’s what food eats.
I do like that bleu cheese, though.
I still mourn the loss of the local classic “Bib’s Beltbuster Burger”, replaced by a soulless corporate burger…
Believe me, that baby was NOT a low94 cal burger.
And let us not forget the boiled eggs. And the cheese.
I’ve been saying for years that I love salad bars, because you can up the cholesterol and fat level to the point where it counts as real food.

You owe me a new MacBook, dude. Or at least a serious cleaning of this one.
My physician has advised me to eat more fried foods. I’m off to KFC.
While you’re at it, why not repost that recipe for artichoke and spinach dip. That was a damn good dip, and a SHOUT OUT LOUD killer, at that.
Oooh! I just made this one a couple of days ago and turbocharged it with a bit of horseradish. Damned tasty stuff. And it’s got spinach, so it’s guilt proof!
I have no idea what that sound is, but it can’t be my arteries clogging.
Tai Chi Wawa, could you sell me a few of those atheroscleroffsets? It’s gotta be cheaper than this Crestor/Tricor cocktail my doctor has me on. I mean Christ, do I have to finance the actual cost of drugs for absolutely everyone in the new Medicare drug program all by myself?
My Lipitor prescription wishes to quibble with you, Joe.
Since Jeff left out the de rigeur portion of the world’s greatest meal, I’ll offer it up:
Good Times double cheese burger and a large side of onion rings…And a chocolate shake, for crying our loud. What are you some kind of communist green tea drinker?
Jim in KC,
Fellow carnivore, have you frequented McGonnigle’s Market?
OT: Jim in KC, I’m recalling something you said the other night. I want to offer my services in helping you out with a small problem.
I will be happy to take that unsightly old tractor with the busted radiator off your hands. You don’t need rusty junk like that littering your property.
Regards,
Ric
angler,
Yep. And The Flea, where they make the burgers from McGonnigle’s finest and you can dine only feet away from where Bob Berdella had a stall. Adds a certain creepy ambiance to any meal.
Ric,
It’s kinda not littering the joint; I have it hidden in the barn alongside the better half’s old SL and my similarly aged Yamaha. Can’t mow with it in its current state, but my nephew likes to take rides around the property on it.
Rats. [fx: strolls off, hands in pockets, staring at nothing as he concocts the next Fiendish Plan]
Regards,
Ric
I forgot to mention that it is a bit unsightly, though. It’s a 9N with an 8N motor, thus dubbed Franken9.
According to the UN scientist, cow farts account for most of the “man made” methane assessed in the global warming report. Let that sink in for a second….cow farts…..man made…..
At any rate, methane is 23 times more warming that CO2 and occupies a higher trace amount in the earths atmosphere. Therefore, cows are eco-terrrist and must be stopped.
EAT A COW, SAVE THE PLANET!!!!!
BTW, I totally made a t-shirt for that at our blog, I’ll be wearing it to my biology lab. Bunny huggers beware.
Hee hee!
I just thought of a delicious irony.
Recently PETA sent a letter to Gore stating that due to the Global Warming nature of cow farts he should become a vegetarian.
FOR THE PLANET!
A question just tickled my consciousness.
What does PETA suggest we do with the cows?
If we just let them live, then they will continue to assist in frying Gaia(how high is the water now, mama?) but if we kill them well, you know, bit of a PR problem.
I eagerly await Gore’s response and PETA’s long term plan, not for the science but for the continuation of my personal entertainment.
Unless PETA has a plan.
heh
What about whales? When a whale lets one go at 30 fathoms, the pressure takes it up into the atmosphere like a Trident ICBM, and with much the same ecological effect.
SAVE THE KRILL!
Weighed out 1.4 pounds lighter last night.
Then headed off to Chipotle for a “bol”. Had a bunch of Snyder’s whole-grain tortillas with it, and followed it with Breyer’s “Peanut Butter Tracks” ice cream.
Speaking of Al Gore… can anyone clarify the carbon offset thing for me? I admit to being a bit ignorant in this area… you know, since my name isn’t Chicken Little. Well, either that, or I just don’t give a damn since I sure as hell won’t be around to deal with it.
Anyway, my basic read on this ‘carbon offset’ thing is that you pay money to some service/company who then plants trees on your behalf. Those trees, I suppose, are supposed to ‘offset’ the amount of carbon emissions you produce? So, basically, if you’re rich, you can drive big SUVs, own and operate 30 private jets, and stick barbie pins on an arsenal of aerosol cans pointing at the sky and you can just buy good conscience by paying huge sums of money to some service?
Am I missing something?
Agent W:
For the absolute best discussion of the Carbon Offset Indulgences for the Church of the Goracle, go to this discussion held several days ago.
I learned more about environmental science in one day than in the previous 50+ years of my life.
And yes, most of us don’t get it either or, more accurately, see through the slimy shell game that’s being played.
It’s ok, Gore get’s his cabon credits from a company he’s invested in so he doesn’t even have to worry about the ink he would use writing a check.

After my initial visit with a diabetes educator, I ended up with a much more accurate, yet also much more relaxed, idea of how I need to eat to keep my blood sugar where it needs to be.
I celebrated with a Quarter Pounder™.
