Pennsylvania highways. Crossing the Maryland/Pennsylvania border on a highway is like going from The Capital to District 12.

I'm lucky that I have 2 comic book stores within a 10 - 15 minute drive. When it comes to books I despise digital copies so I always buy the hardcopy.

Awesome, thank you. That cleared everything up nicely.

BP has the best fried chicken, at least around here. It's fucking amazing. We used to walk down the street and buy it by the bucketful, literally, on lunch breaks in the office.

It's got orange flavor!

It's all orange flavored garbage. Anyway, for everyone flying those helicopters in suburban areas, aren't you afraid it's going to come crashing down on someone's car windshield or something else breakable? My brother flies those things all the time in a fairly heavily populated suburban area...

Shock top works, too. Blue Moon is a beer with an orange flavor (that often gets an orange slice garnish), so it fits as well.

I'm 6'1. Whether accurate or not, that 212 is going to be at least a few pounds too high. I was weighed in the mid-afternoon after drinking several glasses of water, several cups of coffee, drinking 3 cups of milk + protein powder in the morning, and eating a chipotle bowl for lunch and without...

It's called Blue Moon.

I think so? I got 8, 1-2 page pdfs of lab results, but I honestly don't understand the vast majority of it. I see "Glucose, Serum" which I assume is what you're talking about. The value is 83, with the reference range of 65-99, so I assume that's good.

I went to the doctor's for a check-up + bloodwork for the first time in about 8 years this week. I was seriously worried because of my diet: I routinely eat 18 - 24 jumbo eggs a week and I tend to binge eat on processed garbage like pizza rolls, Doritos, etc., on the weekends. However, it...

I really wouldn't mind a Black Widow standalone movie. I think they've done a great job with her thus far, and Scarlet Johansson is just fine in the role. It would be neat to go into her back story, and if they play up the spy-action angle I could see it being like a super hero version of...

This is why I think crossover cameos between the two shows will be limited to non-powered characters like Felicity. Having two such dramatically different power levels really doesn't work when you start to mix them directly. Then again, we have yet to see just how powerful they're going to make...

I agree with you about Chick-fil-a's service. Wendy's here is staffed by pothead slackers who can barely mumble "Whaddya want" when you walk up to the register. Meanwhile, Chick-fil-a is full of nothing but perky white chicks who smile and greet you happily. Also, the Chick-fil-a's around here...

It's almost certainly the kid. After all, why go through the trouble of including that flashback? One point was to show the lengths Momma Queen would go to protect her children, but there are countless other ways they could have portrayed that. The fact that they did it while introducing a kid...

God no, Pepsi and Coke are dramatically different. Pepsi is much, much sweeter, which is why I prefer it to Coke. Anyway, I hardly drink either anymore for health reasons. I try not to put that kind of junk into my body.

I really liked how they did it. When Slade put away the gun and it looked like she was going to survive I was all like, "Oh, come on! Don't pull this typical happy ending hollywood bullshit!" Then, when he put the sword through her, I was all like "Oh fuck they did it!" and then Ollie cried and...

The spicy chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-a is like they tried to reverse engineer a Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich but weren't quite able to get it right.

That's a good point and true to an extent, but I would argue that there are plenty of professions where it's just as difficult to spot a fuckup. For example, if I have an electrician come over to rewire my house, how the hell do I know if he does a good job or not? Obviously, if something...

I finally watched this. I'm generally a fan of Disney movies (but don't tell anyone, since I'm a single male in his 30s) but I didn't really enjoy this. It wasn't bad, but it just seemed like it was missing something. I've been thinking about it, and I think it might be the fact that it was...

You just described McNuggets. If McNuggets were shaped like dinosaurs you wouldn't be able to tell them apart from shitty supermarket ones.

I'm not a collector, but I've always been curious about a few things. For instance, when you have that much money worth of books, what do you do to keep them safe? Are they just sitting in a library in your house? I'd be afraid that a freak fire or flood would ruin them. Do you keep them...

For real, how the fuck can so many people here seriously enjoy eating those disgusting McNuggets? I have fully acknowledge several times in this thread that I have shitty, horrible taste in food and I accept the fact that I generally prefer processed garbage to real food in almost every...

I used to bite off the toe of the boot (the "little numb" to use your terminology) before eating the rest of the nugget.

The thing about doctors is that there are plenty of idiots among them. I think it's easy to fall into the habit of assuming that just because someone is a doctor, they know what they're talking about. It's really no different than any other field; you'll get electricians that suck, plumbers that...

"rectangle ones with the little nub off the side"? What the fuck man, it was shaped like a boot.

Yes, I believe their version of the "nugget" was called "chicken tender", and they later joined Wendy's and McDonald's by introducing all white meat chicken "strips."

Chicken Selects were McDonalds, and they were good because they were more akin to "chicken fingers" in that they consisted of white breast meat. They were an answer to Wendy's "all white meat" chicken nuggets which, at the time, were fairly new. Until that point, most "nuggets" were just like...

I think McD's chicken nuggets are absolute shit. It's just spongy, gristle-filled nastiness. I'd rather have chicken "fingers," which tend to be made more of white meat and less of chicken brains and eyeballs and shit. That said: Finally someone else in this thread who can eat like a man. I...

Thanks. Yeah, I've heard that New52 is awful, and that Green Arrow is particularly bad. I don't care, and I doubt I'll even notice. I think I'm the ideal target for New52 (and Marvel's Ultimates, I assume) in that this is my very first foray into comics. I've never read a real comic book...

I've seen people in this community design more MMO game systems/lore/mechanics in their spare time than what Brad's entire team showed proof of.

I see what you're going for, but that would just be a dinner of two burgers without dessert.

I believe you're talking about the Buffalo Blasts T and yes, I agree that they are delicious. In fact, my usual order at Cheesecake factory is Buffalo Blasts as an app, Cajun Chicken Littles as my meal, and a slice of banana cream cheesecake for dessert.

More comic noob questions: So, despite the abysmal reviews I orderedAmazon.com: Green Arrow Vol. 1: The Midas Touch (The New 52) (9781401234867): J.T. Krul, Various: Books. Am I correct in assuming this is a collection of the weekly/monthly/whatever books that came out before? If so, how is...

That sounds like a typical order of buffalo wings from Wild Buffalo Wings. Cardboard container of standard breaded/fried wings with your chosen sauce poured over it. It sounds good for a regular meal, but I certainly wouldn't want to deal with it while driving. I always loved KFC's spicy...

If you're thinking about calories when eating cake then you're doing it wrong. Eat the burger and have cake for dessert.

Lol, does not compute. That's why they're awesome. I like that not only are gourmet cupcakes covered in frosting, but most are filled with it as well.

On a separate topic, I've been getting into cupcakes lately. I'm a big fan of Crumbs (Cupcakes - Crumbs Bake Shop - Signature Cupcakes). A couple weekends ago I got a 6 pack for dinner: Banana Crunch, Carrot, Red Velvet, Princess, Peanut Butter Cup, and Happy Birthday. They were all delicious...

Yes, that's where I am. And yes, I know there are tons of restaurants in the area. You think they are infinitely better, but I prefer Pizza Hut, pizza rolls, Doritos and Chipotle. *Edit* I used to work in DuPont circle and Arlington, so I'd wander around the city on my lunch break or in the...

I understand why your jimmies were rustled, but, honestly, that's definitely a tickled pickle story. I can't even imagine how tickled your pickle must be.
