    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    I wonder how much of it is because Americans suck at units? If instead of 64 ounces you said half a gallon, people would be like..."Woah, hold on a second. That's a shit load of soda." But instead they hear ounces and have no fucking clue. Or maybe liter. I'm not sure if that'd have any impact...

    NCAA Tournament Challenge

    So far all of my feelings have been pretty spot on. Didn't have much faith in KU. Didn't think they'd lose this round, but still.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    That's my big issue with "organic." What we think of in our heads as organic, and what the FDA allows to be marketed as organic, are two completely different things. I'm sure we'd all love to only eat what we think in our heads is organic. But the crap in grocery stores isn't it...it's just shit...

    Iowa State was underseeded. I thought it while I was filling out my bracket, but definitely think so now.

    The Walking Dead

    I think most of us will probably quit after this season ends. We're invested already. Or hoping the writers get their heads out of their asses. By the time season 4 starts, most people will have forgotten how bad it is.

    GMO, Monsanto, organic dreadlocked nonsense?

    Pretty much this. Monsanto sucks ass because they've patented genetic material (which is legal, and where my biggest issue is) and lock farmers into exclusivity agreements with what they can do with their crops and seeds. Mostly, they're not allowed to reseed with what they've planted. It's all...

    Nail-biter! Edit: Glad I didn't buy into the Gonzaga hype. Had them losing next round to Ole Miss.

    This Butler/Marquette game has been one of the more entertaining thus far.

    This second half has been a mess. They could easily be up quite a bit, but they're making lots of poor decisions. They definitely could win it still.

    How crazy would it be if Western Kentucky beat Kansas? It won't happen because they'll get too tired in the 2nd half, but being up at the half is pretty damn awesome.

    Yesterday I was like, I sure am glad I didn't do my office bracket. Now, I'm really wishing I had. Only 3 of my sweet sixteen teams out, and none of my elite 8.

    I'm not sure if it was all mental, but when I took CL White Flood before my workouts, it always made me ready to go. It might have been just the fact that I was taking something made me more motivated. Same deal with having a shit ton of protein sitting around. I don't want it to go to waste so...

    I read T-Nation a lot, and I would say you really need to evaluate where you are in your training before deciding to do something like that. Otherwise you're just pissing money away. Essentially if you're not at a place where you've been lifting for 4-5+ years and your gains are stalled out...

    Survivor 26: Caramoan

    It's going to be super awkward for the one guy. Cochran's "I don't see myself penetrating that group" was awesome. Even Probst had a hard time holding back a laugh. The Gota tribe is fucking stacked until the merge. That challenge was a rout.

    I went ahead and read all of this week's posts before watching (and also waited until Wednesday to watch). It was so much worse than you all made it sound. I really hate it when I finish watching something and I think "I could write something better than that shit." It's pathetic that someone...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Manning may not see Welker as the safety valve that Brady did. Hell, the amount of talent that Manning has to throw to this year will be incredible. With him spreading the ball, Welker may not see very many targets. Maybe Welker won't be able to adjust to the audibles that Manning calls. I don't...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Oh, I'd agree that it could very well work out for them. But to say that he's an upgrade because "maybe" just sounds ridiculous to me. That's like saying someone in the draft is a sure thing. It just doesn't work like that. Amendola on the Patriots is an unknown quantity. It could work out...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    I know power rankings are pretty retarded, but generally the analysis of the team isn't too terrible. But what the fuck is this? Welker almost doubles Amendola's production every season. That comment deserves a "C'mon, man!"

    Seems like Mike/Kyle Shanahan have already demonstrated that they could give a shit about their guys getting hit. I also don't know how often the Niners are running the read option, but Kaepernick had what seemed like an awful lot of designed run plays. I know towards the back end of the...

    Beverly Hills Cop TV show-Pilot Murphy returns.

    Yeah, they'll probably try to force what they "thought" the audience loved about the movies and instead it'll be shit. There's a small chance they pull it off, but I doubt it. I'm not as jaded about these types of things as I used to be (omg, they're ruining my memories!), so I've got a tiny...

    If you honestly don't have the willpower to stop putting food into your mouth, what makes you think you'll be able to keep weight off when you stop taking the appetite suppressant? Skip the supplements, do a gut check, and if you're willing to make an actual change in your life, you'll figure...

    I would guess because, like several pages of this thread have discussed, men get fucked in divorces. That, or he loves his wife, but a piece of strange is appealing.
