So it was a foody who had the extra time on his hands to get involved with this whole mess? Doesn't he have more important things to do, like review fast food?!?

Uhm ... what else does a "food blogger" have except time?

No, I'd have said good on them for not responding to every damn petition that comes through that stupid "We the People" website, which was a dumb idea and just gave the so called "secessionists" an outlet to be stupid.

Of course you would. I'd rather have the secesh-types using that web site as their outlet than anywhere else.

Possibly, which make it even more probable that person would be sitting front of a computer.

And thanks to this little diversion, I have no idea what's going on with Burger King's delivery service in Boston, is the food delivered fresh (as far as Burger King goes)? Thanks a lot, faux foody!

Getting back to the whole rank insignia thing, captains' cuff insignia before 1863 was in fact 3 stripes. So Cap'n Crunch is wearing the correct insignia, it's just 150 years out of date...


He's riding in a wooden ship, he's not supposed to represent a Captain in the Modern US Navy.

You should be able to look at 10 free articles a month. Well, your loss, that was easily the best article I've read in years.

ladies and gents... only in america, will the navy denounce a cerial as not one of them.
Do you hear the posters sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the short OP
that won't be seen again!

When the mods find this OP
Then this thread will be no more,
But the song will be sung again
When another comes!

OP, do you know the way?
Know the way to fix your post?
Just add details and sources to spark

Otherwise this thread is doomed
