Cold cheese eater!!! The most confusing burger for me was the McLean. I thought it was a Scottish burger, at first.

Tempted but the toaster oven / microwave are right there

It's some weird thing they do upstate ny (at least oneonta - maybe other places as well). It's hot pizza with cold cheese put on top after it comes out of the oven. Every pizzeria up there does it.

[hanso]

Had cold pizza the other day but it was from leaving it after cooking first time. If it's leftover from frig then more apt to not eat cold.

Those kinds of laws pass first in NYC and California. When the rest of the country sees how they eventually become accepted, then the laws spread.

BTW... I don't know if this has been pointed out in this thread, but NYC wasn't the first to try to get the soda ban. I think the first was either DC or Maryland, but it never passed.

Good God, he outlawed jackhammers at night!

In 2005, he signed a law — “Operation Silent Night” — overhauling the noise code. It cracked down on jolting jackhammer sounds at construction sites and on music blaring out of clubs, helping “make New York quieter and more liveable.”

Yes. You'd be surprised how many foods that sound healthy are WAY worse than overtly bad foods like Big Macs. Information is never the enemy.

Also, Big Macs aren't that bad (calorie-wise); at 550 calories they have the same as a 5 guys little cheeseburger.

I was absolutely floored when I saw the calorie counts on certain sandwiches at Panera. You feel like what you're eating is slightly healthy for you (or at least not awful), and then you see the actual caloric count laid out and you're shocked.

Obviously most things are no brainers, but a lot of stuff that comes across as healthy isn't.

I've never eaten there, but I'd imagine a lot of their calories are from the bread. And too much emphasis is placed on just calorie count. It's very easy to choose something that has fewer calories than something else, and end up with something that is much worse overall. One of the most important things to look at in regards to calories is that "calories from fat" line that is on product labels. Does anyone know if they offer that number in restaurants?

The hiding smokes thing is a silly concept. But I have no problem with banning the direct sale of energy drinks to kids. It's not even as restrictive as the laws for cigs, and alcohol, that I joked about. Kids can still drink them. They just wouldn't be able to buy them themselves.

I'm almost 100% against laws that restrict what products an adult can consume. But children aren't capable of understanding what is and isn't healthy for their bodies. If you're outraged about the government trying to be "nannies" to adults, I totally understand. But children DO need "nannies" for some things.

Reading this reminded me of something I read about the 11-year-old girl who was shot in the jaw in Brooklyn a week or so ago. I saw in one article that it said the only reason she is alive is because of her weight (she weight close to 200 pounds) as the bullet was slowed by the fat in her jaw or it would have killed her.

The descent will be slow in the beginning but will be noticeable after a couple of years. Wait until the union contracts come up and the first one gets an increase. Then they'll all want the same plus more. Then the strikes will start.

They can tax "the wealthy" all they want (well, the ones who stay) but it won't pay for the universal pre-kindergarten (or whatever they're calling it), much less all the other promised spending. Let the good times roll.

It's all perspective bc i have a million cool pics from yesterday and there are accidents every single day of the year. To me, yesterday was an awesome day.

Laws? Those are for the electorate

How many of this is Staten Islanders upset about the snow? Whiniest borough by far. Thank god I moved back to Queens.

The UES didn't get their streets plowed during one of the major storms and most of them voted for DeBlasio

Most of just about every group voted for him.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

DeBlasio won't be marching in the parade today since the organizers won't let openly gays march with their banners.


I'm for gay rights, marriage etc however, what if a traditional marriage group wants to march in the pride parade in June with a banner and they are turned away? Will DeBlasio boycott then?

If these parades are privately organized then they have a right to not allow to set their rules. Now if a group wants to have a banner on the sidewalk and not on the direct route I am fine with that.

yawn

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Disagree with a lot of Deblasios policies, however he threw a decent 1st pitch

If it was an opening tee-shot for Golf season, Obama would be set. He's been preparing diligently for the last 5 years.

[spoon]

and if it was a brush clearly & painting contest, W WINS!

if it were a remember nothing and let some stranger named Nancy and her friends Cheney and Bush run the country…Reagan wins!

spread DNA contest…Clinton tops the list and emeritus champ is Kennedy

yawn

The Mayor threw out the opening pitch for the Mets yesterday. Below is an article about how the crowd booed him (politicians have to expect that).

http://nypost.com/2014/03/31/mets-fans-fight-brutal-weather-for-opening-day/

But what amused me was this quote:

De Blasio wore No. 6 in honor of late-1960s Boston Red Sox great Rico Petrocelli, the mayor’s aides said.

He couldn't pick a former Met, or even someone from the National League. He picks someone from the Boston Red Sox. Really? No one thought that through?

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Fuck em


They wanted him.

[spoon]

YAH! Who ever has their mayor toss out a pitch! Fuck em! U idiot.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

They knew what they were voting for

That was also the number Bill Buckner wore in 1986.

:furious:

:furious:

Maybe the Mayor should have worn Mookie Wilson's #1.

I would have worn Rusty Staub's #10. He used to have a restaurant in the Upper East Side; best ribs I've ever had.

[sailor]

That was also the number Bill Buckner wore in 1986.

:furious:

If he were smart, he'd have run with that angle.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Not a good couple of weeks for DeBlasio. Cuomo got the upper hand in the universal Pre K battle and angry Met fans booing Hizzonor

[spoon]

the other choice makes him look like a Washington/Lincoln hybrid, but yah, they voted

always on it
