Oh the McDonalds thing; I don't know if you guys have this, but Finnish McDs has a double version of the Quarter Pounder with cheese, so it has a half a pound of meat in it. That thing has, according to McDonalds Finnish pages, 53g of protein in it, along with 726kcal. I.e. in terms of protein it is roughly the equivalent of two double cheeseburgers, but the amount of carbs is the same as in one double cheesburger. It is an OK snack.

One nice thing about the silly regulations here is that joints like this have to make the macronutrient and energy content of their meals public. Not that I agree to forcing them to do this, but I must admit it makes things really handy.

Who was that Little old lady that taught you English? It is not G-nat, it is nat, the "G" is silent. You need a gnat trap and a bug hat, you know the type that has the mosquito net over it.

Gianna Michaels is the Mona Lisa of porn, yea.

Why throw the buns away, coach? Is that for dietary purposes or purely for flavour (i.e. keeping one of the buns and jamming all the meat in between it as opposed to eating all the burgers one by one)? Just asking out of interest, really. In socialist Belgium, I pay €1 per hamburger (cheeseburgers cost €2.5 a piece) and eat them all one by one because, to a guy like me, money is an object.

I like how Frank qualified that it was hetero porn. Otherwise, I'd imagine his laptop, and the situation, to be more like this:

Because I am a fat old guy, and I don't need the carbs. Duh.

[Scaldrew]

Yes, of course. How could I forget?

By the way, I was wrong earlier when I said cheeseburgers were €2.5. They're actually €2.05. Double cheeseburgers are a whopping €3.90 a piece. Talk about extortion.

[Mark Rippetoe]

They are $1.59 here. How I long for the EU to come to Texas!

You must like your women big, your "Mona Lisa" is fat.

[Scaldrew]

You must like your writing lacking in style. Your sentence is comma spliced.

And if Gianna Michaels is fat, I don't want women to be skinny.
