    right. water can be expensive if you want to buy bottles of it from holy wells in iceland or whatever. but you wouldnt say it is "expensive" merely because the option to pay too much is there. the option to pay to much is there for everything.

    We should probably just blend some type of mixture that delivers all of the nutrition we need in a day through an IV and have the government regulate how much of it we get.

    I'm never going to live that down am I?

    I went to dinner with some friends last night and that stupid burrito came up again. Fail one time and a lifetime of success is suddenly forgotten. :bncry::bncry::bncry:

    i actually have been searching for a contest like that burrito for some time now. i actually went to a place that had a ludicrously large burrito, which i murdered, but it wasnt a cool contest or anything. i want a challenge with a t shirt and my name on the wall.

    OK, who is going to determine what is healthy food? I am a psycho low carber who believes that if we only ate raw fatty red meat we would be at our optimum health.

    Will they tax the evil small intestine stripping oatmeal? Nooooo!

    Will they tax the perfectly nutritious fatty red meat? Yep!

    Note: what I believe is healthy is not what I can get past my lips... ewww :)

    You must be a short guy. I weigh 235 but I'm 6'3". A 5'9" guy who is 185 is more overweight than me. Or maybe you are one of those perpetually skinny guys who has a high enough metabolism to burn off all those excess calories you consume when you get the munchies.

    I am probably one of the very few people in the world who dosen't eat eggs. I just don't like them either fried, scrambled or boiled. But when I was a kid they were great for thowing at people or their houses or their cars.
