Suffice it to know that there hasn't been a "proper" one here in
years, so he's full of it.

Oh really?

Awesome, I always preferred their flame-broiled burgers for taste
anyway. I think they went to the batter fries when the English company
owned them.

The only real rule in a non-moderated group is that if you don't
want to read it, don't open it. If you open it and then complain,
no one with a clue will care.

Works for me. What also works when dealing with twits who contributing
to the downfall of a group is to filter them and the people who spend
too much effort responding to them. If I filter an idiot and then keep
seeing their idiocy quoted in whining responses to the them, I solve the
problem by filtering the idiot who keeps replying and quoting.

Hilarious? I think it is pretty sad that someone would have to resort
to that. They are throwing in the towel and admitting that they are an
unbearable ass, but still compelled to try to make a public spectacle if
themself.

Becca and I went out for a late lunch/early dinner this afternoon and
tried a new place... BreWings.

http://brewingz.com/

Sports bar, heavy emphasis on beer and finger foods but I was pleasantly
surprised. i had Fish and Chips and although the fish was the pre-made,
frozen variety, it was pretty tasty. Becca has shrimp and chicken
fingers and they were done very well. Standout was the Thai dipping
sauce that was so good, I asked for a side dish for myself and used it
as a dip for the battered cod.

Used a Groupon certificate ($15 for $30 credit) and the bill came to
$34... so we paid $19 total for a $34 tab... plus a $5 tip.

We'll go back.

The problem is, not to oversimplify things, the actions of one man are
not enough to overwhelm the actions of the trolls.

Think about it. They get some sort of cheap thrill out of the reaction.
You have a couple choices. One of them is to stop giving them the
reaction and the attention they crave.

I think it's pretty sad we have to discuss them to death. Whatever
happened to "do not feed the trolls"?

Killing the original idiot and ignoring them seems an adequate response.
It's not cowardice but giving the lowlife the respect they deserve. You
can always ignore them if they are quoted. There's always someone who
will read them and it is possible that the troll may have something to
say and you can change your mind about killing them but that is unlikely.

I can not argue that conclusion.

It's a maintenance dose they're on, and positive or negative attention
works equally as well.

No. It is attention that they crave. Deny them the attention.

I did Google, but didn't glean lunch meat out of what I found... it
said something about being gluten free. Maybe I found a different
Buddig.

My boss used to like to eat at Subway's. We'd eat there on Friday every
once in a while. Most of the time, he'd pay. The best lunch is a free

We particularly like their Jr. Whopper. It's a lot of food, but you
can eat it and leave without feeling like a Thanksgiving Day float.

To be honest, I don't keep track of who owns what but UK ownership and
battered french fries make sense to me (think about the Fresh and
Easy/Tesco fiasco). I'm surprised BK wasn't the one to introduce
Butties to the American audience instead of fiddling around with our
fries!

It is sort of a midwestern and eastern thing, iirc.

It is steamed meat, onions and bun.

Oddly, made freshly, they work!

Please do not equate whatever the hell they were talking about (Buddig?)
with authentic creamed chipped beef. It's absolutely not the same
thing. And my father wasn't in the Army. Heh.

Buddig makes pressed meats. It's manufactured. Thinly sliced drippy
injected chicken, smoked turkey, corned beef, roast beef. It's lunch
meat, as I said before. Makes for some pretty crappy sandwiches.

I only use these "nyms" to respond to you so there's no reason anybody
else would killfile them. And I have a script that automatically
generates them from IMDB names.

Otherwise I'm ost an no one else amid all this

Oh I know food poisoning alright. Maybe it's a change in physical
attitude, I find the same queazy feeling overtakes me if I get their
"Original 6 Dollar Burger", though not with their others. I eat fatty
meats from time to time and though I've cut back on beef in recent
years for convenience (the wife is reluctant), I've had no similar
problems including kobe/wagyu beef which is pretty fatty.

And this is how the list of foods "that disagree with me" begin (as my
granny use to say). To day I have no foods that I've yet identified
that "disagree with me".

Don't worry, my father and grandfather were in the Army Air Corps so
my grandmother made it from time to time and I absolutely loved it. I
still haven't tried chipped beef in a jar, because I was so scarred by
the other garbage I bought (a Buttig-like substance) that I'm still
scared to give it another shot.

I asked before but don't remember a reply ... Is a Reuben just a roll, or

It's a classic grilled sandwich. Essentially, it's two slices of rye
bread w/ corned beef, swiss cheese, and sauerkraut w/ russion
dressing, inside, and then grill (griddle) toasted like a grilled
cheese sammy. Lotta variations, but that's the basics.

Put simply, a "reuben" is a hot corned beef sandwich.

Reubens but they used to be my favorite sandwiches, so much so that I
remember the first one I ever ate.
