Lunch Time

The food trucks are coming!  The food trucks are coming!

More on eggs, with a hat tip to Alton Brown.

The Secret Service used to be cool and dangerous.  Now they just seem antiquated and like another government bureaucracy.

Apparently, it's okay to be dicks to people with whom you disagree on an issue.

Responses:

1. The Corinthian Colleges bit seems less like a student loan debt problem and more like a fraud problem.  That said, these guys are the anti-Warren Buffett (based on our earlier conversation), and I don't have a problem with that.

2. It seems like the advice is out there.  All that's left is the doing it.  America.

3. You're saying I'd lose weight, have more friends, and make more money?  I will light my clutter on fire then.

4. Best idea I've heard in a while.

5. Worst idea I've heard in a while.  This is how ebola spreads, btw.  Also, even if the dead person doesn't have ebola, dead bodies smell terrible.  There's a reason for that...

6. It couldn't hurt.  For me, what's lost in this is player responsibility.  There's a lot of talk about how the players now understand the long-term physiological risks of playing football.  But if you're taking home millions, you should probably take it upon yourself to take steps not to jeopardize it.

7. I'm going to save this one.

8. GQ was pretty mad about this.  It isn't that hard to put on a suit.

9. This is unrealistic.  I'm not going to finish this article because it'll make me sad.

10. How is "convert to Mormonism" not the one and only step?

11. Part of the problem is that feminists disagree on what feminism is.  Also, the funny thing about the victim-blaming response to common-sense precautions that women might take is that these people are pretty much only looking to place blame rather than prevent harm.  If there were a switch you had to pull that would eliminate domestic violence and rape, but it had to be pulled by a woman, if it were up to them, we'd still have violence.

R2R:

7. You've combined my love of trains with my love of analogies.  Win.  (That said, shouldn't it be to get off the fat train before you end up at the last stop?)
