White Castle?

Oh, man...that is fucking gross.

WTF?

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

There ain't anything better than a rat burger once in a while. A plate full of jalapeño cheeseburgers and a thick chocolate shake brings one to a state just outside of Nirvana. Harold and Kumar, good Hoboken boys, understood this.

I used to bring my dates there all the time in high school. A sack of 25 - 5 for them and 20 for me. Good times.

You're mean to yourself. I think your fine.

But if you're going to play it that way:

Please don't get fatter.

I need to get more cardio, lifting three times a week isn't enough.

Re: Too late

[jenniever.livejournal.com]

i've been telling you that since i met you.


pete scoffed at me at first. but dying of a heart attack is kind of like dying of cancer - mostly in that you die and make your family feel like crap.

it's NASTY.

I'd rather go hungry, methinks...

You're a madman

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

Those little nuggets of questionable meat are wonderful. Steamed with those little bits of onion that end up all over the box, consumed in a bite or two, amazing packages of meaty fun. Even the smell of a few empty boxes after a day or two gets me misty-eyed.

liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_guy_incognito/]

A) As a person who doesn't like onions I'm virtually unable to eat there.

B) You cannot tell me hamburger buns that are near liquid by the time they get to you are good...I'm near vomitous thinking about those buns.

C) I'd rather eat assfingers' hand.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[assfingers.livejournal.com]

I hate Hate HATE onions. I ordered a slider without onions the only time I was at a white castle. It tasted like they served me a raw onion with a kleenex on either side. Awful.

This is easily the worst hamburger I've ever had in my life.

Also not helping is the thought that said burgers caused grocery store sweatpants diarrhea in comkilserv and chairtomorrow's uncle Tom.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

As I said to _guy_incognito, I can perfectly understand any avoidance of White Castle if onions are an issue. Even the shakes have onion fumes splattered against the outer side of the cup.

There's some wonderful burgers I'll have to introduce you to if/when you make it out here. They're a million times better than White Castle, but they're not open 24/7, and White Castle fills that cheap fast 5 AM niche nicely for me. They're the shady burgers you have after a serious bender.

They definitely do a number on your system. Many lesser men have requisitioned the throne for an extended period of time after having a decent number with me.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_guy_incognito/]

WHOA!


We agree on food...AWESOME.

and a side of kleenex is an EXCELLENT descriptor.

Lastly, that story was at least really funny...

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

1. Oh, that would explain a lot. I dated an onionphobe for a while, that was hell. She couldn't stand Twizzlers either. To this day I indulge in them less, shuddering as I pass the vending machine with memories of her refusing to kiss me. When she lived in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, the big event in town was the farmer's market. Right in the middle of the market was a giant stand selling sausages cooked with piles of onions, where an Amish guy would cover a bun with the mix for a reasonable price. When it was raining, and everything had to be indoors, she could only stomach half an hour or so under the tent. Everything reeked of onions. It smelled heavenly.
2. The buns aren't that bad, or at least they aren't when I've had them. Maybe midwest White Castles have poor quality control, or they're shipped buns from out here and degrade in the truck. Or maybe I don't let them sit on the plate long enough to notice. That could be it.
3. You know where General Grabass has put those mitts, right?

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_guy_incognito/]

A) I'm certainly not that bad, as I'll eat things with them in them (salsa, and other things), but generally prefer a non-onioned equivalent.

B) Next time you're out we'll take you there.

C) EXACTLY, so you know how very strong that statement is...and I STAND BY IT.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

1. Ok. What about garlic, scallions, and other similar produce? Or, as graye would say, prah-duce?
2. Sure. But I really want that pizza place that hotbeatz and assfingers both promised to take me to. The place that puts crazy crap on Chicago-style pizza, whatever the hell the name of it was.
3. That's hardcore. Did you see brendle's dirty grabass chair?
   
   I thought of assfingers when I saw it.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_guy_incognito/]

a) I love garlic (I can eat it by the clove - despite what people think Garlic and onions are VERY different) and don't care for scallions.

b) Hrm...I'm not sure which one they were refering to...

c) I saw the thumbnail, but that was one of the pictures I didn't feel I needed to look at the larger version of :)...it's too bad that your flicker RSS feed doesn't appear to make you aware of comments :)

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

B) IAN'S PIZZA

D) JERKS

I wanted to say Ian's pizza, but then I thought I was just fondly thinking of you over and over again while drunk.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[kingfox.livejournal.com]

1. I know garlic and onions are vastly different, but many onion haters I've met can't stand garlic too. I was just curious how far you were spreading your dislike.
2. I think the place was someone's name, like Dave's or Ian's or Zelda's Pizza. Supposedly, it's really good.
3. You should comment on the image in Flickr instead of on the feed, where the post and thus comment will be lost in a matter of weeks.

I did not want to take the time to get a flickr account...too lazy, and I saw no way to get post anonymously to the flickr post.

Yesterday I watched agent179 set one up in under a minute. No time for love, doctor Jones?

I've really been not wanting to sign up for anything since andamaroo made me sign up for a Yahoo Messenger account.

It could be easy, but an ASSHOLE might have set it up like Yahoo messenger. The problem is I won't know until I've already begun the process. I'd really like to beat the fuck that designed the signin process - AND - the one that approved the design.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[assfingers.livejournal.com]

You got a Y! account?

You should totally add me.

A reminder placed at approximately 6:30pm CST tonight if possible would be most helpful!

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_guy_incognito/]

Check that, I remembered on my own.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_guy_incognito/]

Well I have errands to run tonight, but assuming I remember after that I'm on it.

Re: liquid hamburger buns are nasty.

Having just watched someone go through it, I can assure you that it is a simple process, despite them being bought by Yahoo. It's graye tested and windexcowboy approved.

All the comments are on White Castle, not jury duty. Understandable. I was buying FROZEN White Castle hamburgers for BC once in a while here, until he was unable/unwilling to eat wheat. They were a shadow of the steamed glory of the real thing. The chocolate shakes are the best, we would go through the drive through for the shakes alone. Incomparable.

I've filled out a form for jury duty and will be on call for a year. Hopefully just for one trial. I didn't mind jury duty when I got paid anyway, it was a change of pace, and twice I was forewoman and the judge was surprised at how quick we got back with a decision, (just listen to each person and find a compromise all can live with) but here it's going to be a 55 mile commute and tying up the car to go. Luckily, BC works only 3 miles away, and there's a walking/snowmobile/bike path most of the way.
