Milano? A little too marbled for my tastes. A Scott Ian, on the other hand? Pure hardcore thrash badass protein.

Meh. It's a "risk v. supply" ratio. I could eat for a week off that carcass.

In & Out. Take the Pepsi challenge with any of those places against an Animal-style Double Double. Also the Jack in the Box tacos are far superior to anything on a Chili's menu. When it's 4AM and your cash is limited? A few 50-cent deep-fried tacos go a loooong way.

Good lord, dude, what a horrible life that must've been.

Oh, absolutely. The food & atmosphere is sufficiently bland enough for a first date, or a lunch break. But, the beer selection is far superior to the other chains, and the cocktails are pretty mean.

As far as the mallscape goes, it's better than most places. The worst meal I've ever had was at Outback. Every piece of food tasted like they'd rolled it in pure salt before deep-frying it.

I did work there, actually. In all seriousness, I had a friend who worked for a huge bank chain, and she would tell me about the three-martini lunches they would regularly have on a company credit card. Meanwhile, I was reduced to thanking my boss for paying for my Caesar salad.
(Internally, I was thinking, "It's…

Eh. I always associate Olive Garden with the corporate lunch meetings. The really bland ones where the team leader graciously pays for everyone's "Unlimited Soup & Salad" in a lame attempt to increase team cohesiveness (or whatever the fuck buzzword they're using these days).

You can get seared tuna sashimi at Yardhouse. It's actually not that bad if you want a light appetizer instead of an irritable bowel syndrome-inducing burger the size of your thigh.

Best place to break up with someone? Chili's. Bland, utterly forgettable. "Time to take her to Chili's" is my code-speak for, "Time to dump her ass."

It's a great song for middling away an afternoon in your cubicle listening to your company-approved local adult contemporary radio station.

Weird, Green Day also made me want to start a band as well…in order to make music that wasn't completely shitty, like Green Day's was.

"In the Zone" is actually really good. I'm fortunate enough to live down the street from a bar with it, Duran Duran, Slayer, and Mercyful Fate in the jukebox. It's a pretty great bar, and the clientele are mellow enough not to smash a pool cue against my face for playing "Notorious" and "Toxic" side-by-side.

I've heard stories that they wrote quite a few songs for The Stones in their early days. Whatever. If a doofus like McCartney even came close to "Gimme Shelter", his head would explode, Scanners-style.

JUSTICE FOR TRAYVON!!!!

I agree, she was gorgeous, and I always get a kick out of the burlesque models who imitate her look. Most of those old clips are kinda disappointing; her dance routines were dismal at best. The S&M stuff was entertaining, though. I always get a chuckle whenever she gets taken over some girl's knee and spanked.

Yeah, no kidding, it's like I walked into a battlefield ready to go to war, only to find the enemy had all been slaughtered already.

Hey, you've got all that great curry stuff. I once found a great knock-off A1 sauce that was marketed as "British Pub Curry Flavored". I can't vouch for its authenticity, but it was delicious on fries (or "chips," as you refer to them).

Agreed. I always cite the copper mine owners who would hold parties so they could go out and watch all the pretty colors during mine fires, not having any concept that hundreds of miners were dying horrible deaths in the tunnels.

Sriracha & mayo…I'd eat my own face with that stuff. Between the wasabi & soy, and sriracha & mayo, I always have such a hard time deciding what to dip my sashimi into. I'd try both, but I think my head might explode.
