I have multiple chik-fil-a's in my town. I must admit, it is pretty damn delicious for fast food. That chicken sammich is excellently accented by the pickle, although I have always wondered why they put it on the bottom rather than complying with the usual sandwich stacking order.

I don't mean it as an insult... I am assuming he has not personally had a dick in his ass, so he can't tell me first hand.
Women lie, so I don't believe what he may have been told by a woman.

I have not heard good things about prostate exams.
Yeah, but that's different. You don't have a man treating you special and whispering sweet nothings in your ear.
Krystal is like White Castle right? We don't have those, but that's gross.
It's similar to White Castle, but the shit tastes different. I remember when I went to Minnesota I hit up a White Castle thinking it would be about the same thing and it tasted like shit. Krystal is the bomb, though.

I will tell you what I had for the first time about a year ago: Chicken and Waffles. What the fuck... WHY haven't I been eating this my whole life. It is so awesome. We don't eat that up here in the frigid north, but we are missing out. It is like an awesome salty sweet soft crunchy explosion of deliciousness.

It does, but its not.

Chicken and waffles? That's black person food.

Taylor and Dake have both pinned thier way to the semi's. All my picks are still alive. 5D is gay for never giving lines... they have a "wrestling" section, but it is fake wrestling. If you are going to give odds on wrestling, I would think it would be the actual sport...

Shitty,wild punches that will never come close to landing .
Funny story:
My friend has a pitbull. Super friendly toward people . . . not so friendly toward other animals.
Last night we saw some furry creature across the street near some brush moving around so my friend took Joe (the pitbull) off the leash so he could chase it. We never thought he would actually catch whatever it was.
Turns out it was a skunk and he landed a direct hit on Joe's face with his skunk spray. Joe was undeterred though. He just fought through that shit, clamped down on that motherfucker, and shook the shit out of him until it was dead. Now he smells like skunk and has been fucking the house all up. And there's a dead animal in the neighbor's yard.
Re: pushups.
Since we were talking about it the other day, I decided to run a test today to see how many I could do. I got to 35 before my shit just gave out. I'm going to try to get to where I can do 50 by the time I go back home.

BOL, I was lifting today and was thinking about doing push ups, but this was by the time I was already done with a bench workout so I was smoked. I would have gotten like 20 probably
Since the first pushup test I've been doing them 1-2 times a week and now can do 60. Trying to make it to 100 .

Mariusz Pudzianowski vs. Bob Sapp set for May in Poland
Is this a one round,two minute fight?
If Sapp allows himself to lose to Pudz then he has actually hit a new low . . . which is REALLY fucking low.

Sapp cannot get any lower, I think Pudzilla will probably beat him pretty easily tbh. Pudz will probably take him down easily, he almost got Timmeh down. Probably a fixed fight though.
Looks epic. . .

I am semi-retiring from gambling. I have been cashing out in chunks over the last few weeks.
I have just lost some interest in MMA, and also, as weird as it sounds, I have lost interest in money (or at least, I have lost interest in the pursuit of more money as a means to happiness). I have come to understand the marginal utility of money, and it has it been branching out in all areas of my life, requiring an overhaul olif my life system. Wagering on MMA is one of the final strongholds, as I actually enjoy the process somewhat.
So, I have taken my bankroll of around $10k all the way down to $500. I will just play for fun, building my $500 up to a few thousand and staring over. No need to worry, I will still be here to judge you and condemn your every bet.

No, it's not a phase. I have had a major shift in my way of thinking. Watching Tv (and MMA by extension) have been casualties, and also wagering.
I will post, I will watch, but for me the fun of betting was outgaming "the system"... but I realized that I can out game the system in a much more direct way- not playing. I don't mean outsmarting the books, I mean the whole entire consumer lifestyle.

Yeah, somewhat. It is not that though, I have experienced that many times... I have never really enjoyed "gambling". I only play to win... I don't play games of chance. I don't bet on WWE or any thing that I am not sure I am going to win at. I still like MMA, I still watch it, and I like training probably more than anything. But I just don't care about the reward of wagering anymore. If I were to be able to achieve a giant bankroll, where I could play all day and just place my bets... I don't think that would be the life that I want. So there is almost no point in playing... there is no endgame.
It is probably a mid-life crisis of some kind. I have told you guys I have been purging for a while, cutting everything back to a spartan level of subsistence. It has been coming for a while. It is not about MMA really, it is more about money (which is the only reason I bet). .

I think I will just roll it all together. I will continue the parlay game... but the bottom line is that I have stopped caring about winning money. So it is just as much fun for me to pretend to bet as it is to actually bet.

I'll be remaining conservative. I learned the hard way too many times that getting over-excited and making emotional type plays often doesn't pan out very well. But if your on the right side you can make a fuck ton of profit, I say go for it if you like the lines brotha man!

I dunno, maybe I spoke to soon.
I like Stann to beat Sakara, but his line sucks. I also like Gustaffson to win, but I kind of feel like the value may be on Silva. Roids or not, Silva's performance against Vera was impressive and he also came very close to knocking out Rashad. Papy Abedi may also be a good bet. And I wish I had gotten Siver at +170.

I was first thinking of going for the ACE and then the NSCA. Instead, I will probably just skip over the ACE and go straight for the NSCA-CPT.

Is there a Superman curse?
Of the four main actors who have played Superman over the past 30 years--Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling and Brandon Routh--none of them have gone on to have particularly successful careers. Why is that? It seems that playing such an iconic character would be a big time career boost.

I actually looked it up, Tampa actually has a very low cost of living. I always thought it was higher... it is cheaper in Tampa than here in Evansville, Indiana. I have never been, but Tampa must suck a lot more than I thought it did. SLC is also more expensive than Tampa.
So maybe that pt job is worth the move, if you like rednecks, old people, cubans, hurricanes, republicans, and sun burns.

I will check that out. I read "Lord of the Flies" when I was a kid, and I really find the idea of kids devolving much more interesting and realistic than it being thrust upon them Running Man style by the big bad evil empire. Like I said, I thought it was entertaining, but the premise is too weak and flawed for me. That and the bad guys were far too simple and twisty mustachy for my taste. The kids that were the bad guys... If I was on that team, I would have murdered all my "teammates" in their sleep to ensure my survival.

I'd say Breaking Bad. It has not had a single bad season yet.
But Spartacus is also awesome. You will probably need to give it like 3 episodes to really get into it. The first season is excellent and the prequel Gods of the Arena season is also very good. Season 2 is not that great, though.

And yes, you should also watch Rome. It's very well done, and it wraps up nicely after two seasons, unlike a lot of other shows that linger on forever and go to shit.

I have seen Rome, was just asking.
I thought about the Wire too, but what I read, it was more of plot driven series, like law and order? No real characters of character development... it is more about the city of Baltimore? Is that right?
I want to go ahead and watch GoT episodes from season 2, but I know I will be annoyed at the cliffhangers they do on every episode. I like to wait until the season is done and watch it all one after the next. Really, I prefer to wait until the whole series is done, but a buddy gave me his GoT blu rays, so I decided to watch it.

The wire has subtle character development, but only as a pretext to the way everything stays the same. It's like getting a new chess set where the pieces look different. It's still the same game at the end of the day. The wire is one of the best shows ever. Highly recommended. If your looking for something to watch over the course of a week or so then Rome is a good choice. Spartacus takes a good 3-4 episodes to get a real feel for. That first episode doesn't really do the rest of the first season justice. It's pretty slow and whatnot until he's captured and brought to Cappua.

The Wire is the best show i've watched. Characters are developed extensively each season. Each season focuses on a different side of Baltimore. Many characters continue through the 5 seasons. You just have to watch it and decide for yourself.

I thought about the Wire too, but what I read, it was more of plot driven series, like law and order? No real characters of character development... it is more about the city of Baltimore? Is that right?
I want to go ahead and watch GoT episodes from season 2, but I know I will be annoyed at the cliffhangers they do on every episode. I like to wait until the season is done and watch it all one after the next. Really, I prefer to wait until the whole series is done, but a buddy gave me his GoT blu rays, so I decided to watch it.
I second what others are saying about the Wire; there are well-developed and engaging characters.
As for Game of Thrones, the bad news on that front is that it may never really end. There are supposed to be 7 books, and they seem to be doing one season per book. GRRM has lately been writing the books at a rate of about 1 every 5 years and book 5 came out not that long ago. Also many people (including myself) think the books start to go off the rails a bit with volumes 4 and 5, especially with regard to adding tons of new characters and plotlines instead of wrapping up old ones. I do still have hope that the HBO series will motivate him to write faster and things will wrap up in the last two books.

Yeah, really don't see Nick winning that... He last competed in bjj a few years ago against Lucas Leite, who is multiple notches below Braulio, and Leite beat him. It was competitive though, mostly because Nick wouldn't concede the takedown. If he comes to play the takedown game with Braulio, he could make it close. If he goes to the mat with him, the only question is whether Nick gets subbed or loses on points. Braulio has some solid wrestling though, so he will probably be able to get Nick down.
Braulio is coming to MMA in July too, so I look forward to that.

I will just do one season at a time, I will probably wait until about 2 weeks before season 2 ends and start watching season 2. HBO has been pretty good about not letting shows drag on in the past. Oz is the only series I have seen from HBO that felt like it should have ended much earlier. Sopranos ended well, Entourage maybe went a season too long...
In any event, I started on Breaking bad. I am going to catch up on that, and then hopefully by the time I catch up, GoT2 will be done. I am definitely going to watch the Wire next. So I am pretty well set on TV for 2012. Feels right.
