AtticaFlinch Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think so. Just like those self cleaning ovens. It's like having a cat in the oven. Which, I guess, is also pretty much the way it's done on a taco truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtticaFlinch Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Breaking News: New study shows fat kids bullied more than skinny kids!Further studies reveal the sky is blue and water is wet.In other obesity related news, I tried the Double Down this weekend, and... eh... let's just say I was underwhelmed. The bacon flavor was hidden by the massive amount of fried chicken in every bite. This thing needed at least four more slices of bacon. And really, would it have hurt to have included at least one piece of bread? This "sandwich" needed a bit better flavor balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 At my 4th jury duty in 9 years living here (2 muni, 2 district). Am I winning or does anyone else get called this much? At least it's district this time. Free wireless, and padded seats instead of the punish-you-for-your-sins church pews they have in the municipal jury room.

IronTiger Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Well, recently, one of my cousins who lived in Houston moved out, giving me one less reason to like Houston as a city. (hopefully I can get that point back, though) In other news, though, I will say that during that period where I made a bunch of, shall we say, lackluster posts*, it didn't continue with a thread talking about what a terrible member I was. Or a total ban where PMs are ignored. You guys aren't jerks, and jerks who deserve their forum to be imploded, and I thank you for that. * understatement Edited September 1, 2010 by IronTiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want info I can't wait until the 8s, I just do the website and get it all right now. Weather isn't that exciting. I wouldn't be surprised if they cut way down on the on air talent in favor of keeping the updates on the 8s and random documentaries.

But I will say the weather app (iPhone and prolly now on Android too..) has some great features. If you have a smart phone I would definitely check out their free app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
