    Thats especially ridiculous because everything you would order in a BBQ restaurant is already cooked. At worst all they have to do is chop the meat, sauce it, and put it on a plate/bun. Side orders like fries would be the only thing that would have to be cooked.

    Famous Daves is honestly probably the best widespread(multi-state) BBQ chain. It's light years better than Rib Crib or Dickeys. Even with the insane amount of BBQ places in KC, I'd choose Famous Daves over half of them at least(although its not in the top 10 best BBQ places in KC), but it's...

    Story time! I was managing a Software Etc(pre-Gamestop rebranding) when Baldurs Gate originally released. As you mentioned, a 5 CD game, one of the biggest game installs I'd ever seen up to that point. Well, apparently the entire first batch of Baldurs Gate that my store received all had...

    I was always disappointed as a kid when Dennys/IHOP/Waffle House/Perkins never offered: As a kid, we used that shit all the time at home on french toast, pancakes, etc. Guess it was a tradition from my dads side of the family, they were farmers and grew corn. I'm not sure I even knew you...

    Or use Plex, pony up for the premium version that allows access from anywhere(not just your home network) and give you friends the logon info. Streaming would be easier than downloading 50gig files from you at like 5mbps or whatever your upload speed is capped at.

    So last night we take the kiddo to Chick-Fil-A to play in their little playground and burn off some steam. Just turned 2, he climbs way up into the tube/slide contraption to where we can't see him, and then starts whining/crying like he's stuck. Won't come down the slide, and we can't even...

    Any hardware store will definitely sell bags of dirt. You can get just plain topsoil dirt for pretty cheap, I think my local hardware store is about $1 per 40 or 50lb bag, and even a namebrand bag of Scotts topsoil is under $1.50. Buy 10 bags of that and call it good.

    Yeah, but I didn't want a giant pile of mulch in my driveway that I had to shovel into a wheelbarrow. Would have been a massive mess. And Wal-Mart had black mulch for sale for $1.88 per 40lb bag, so 1000 lbs of mulch only cost about $50, it wasn't too bad.

    It sounds like this whole ordeal is going to be the end of the whole "sick bank" program. It was a nice idea, in theory, but there's almost no way to put it to use in a fair manner.

    Yet oddly enough, right now might be the cheapest time to buy RAM, going forward. While RAM prices have plateaued a bit recently, it's still nowhere near as cheap as it was a couple years ago, and DDR3 productions rates should steadily decrease going forward as more people move over to newer...

    Tatar sauce is great, but I'm sometimes tempted to order the sandwich without it, just so they have to make one fresh. It's either that, or ask for it without cheese, and what kinda of idiot would do that?

    In general, I've never had a problem with any refurb electronics. In general, if an item gets returned defective it goes through a LOT more testing than new products even do before it goes back out into circulation. They really don't want it to come back a 2nd time, that's a profit killer...

    If the Wendys near you still serves breakfast, get the oatmeal breakfast bar. Thing is absolutely phenomenal. I'm sure it's probably closer to eating an oatmeal cookie than something healthy, but god damn does it taste good. They serve it warm, and its a little gooey/chewy. Fuck I miss those...
