Quote:

Few food items have enjoyed a more surprising recent resurgence than the savory strips of pig fat known as bacon. It is being wrapped around entrees, used to swizzle cocktails, and even serves as a flavor of ice cream.

But now a popular pork-focused restaurant in the Upper Haight must close its doors Friday following months of failed negotiations with neighbors over neighborhood concerns about porcine aroma and grease disposal.

I wonder if the IRS pulled any strings here... Grease disposal my arse.

Pregnant wife gets four months for killing husband

This strikes me as a case of really bizarre sentencing. Any chance I am reading a really biased report or the like, or someone can explain to me why this isn't likely to be a case of someone getting a lesser sentence due to being female? Not a rhetorical question.

Welcome back, Uncle Shug !!. . .

Instead of the online memorial service I was going to do in your honor, I can only post this attachment. We need you here, Meshuggah. The country, no, the planet depends on it.
Attachment 3251
You've broken two campaign promises already.
1) "I won't start any new threads"
2) "IM LEAVING FOREVER"

In your case, I can say that corruption may be a good thing.

The Lift that is Dead may never Die!

Before your next deadlift PR, go up to any available stranger in the gym. Get their attention without any extraneous chit-chat, look them dead in the eye, and tell them, without a drop of irony, with every fiber of belief in your being,

"The Lift that is Dead may never Die!"

Walk off before they can reply or question, and then pull a +10lb PR. Guaranteed to work by the old gods and new.

Thank you and good lifting!

I'm not one to complain anyway but how I measure myself with food has changed.

If he can do 12k in that time then me doing a fraction in exponential time is no biggie, ha!
