Almost 48 hours later, its safe to say I suffered no ill effects from the old MRE. Yesterday I tried a bite of a 21 pound cake out of another MRE. It tasted like licorice and copper. I don't think it was supposed to. And not to resurrect an old topic, but my teenage daughter loves Taco bell, so I agreed to take her there for lunch yesterday. Jesus, what garbage. I think the two decade old food sat better than the chicken taco I had. Chicken is not supposed to be grainy. Today I have a big batch of chili going for the game, supplemented by beer, corn bread, beer, wings, beer, whatever anyone else brings, and beer.
Hilarious article is relevant: http://articles.latimes.com/1988-05-01/local/me-3111_1_american-martial-arts Spoiler: Just one of many from article Visitors to his home were shown newspaper articles about him, including an editorial titled "A Silent Hero" that Dux said he clipped from the Washington Star. Told later that the newspaper's archives have no clippings about him, Dux said he could not remember the source of the editorial. The piece quotes from a commanding officer's diary: "We're hungry. We're tired. We're all out of ammo. We all might go mad if not for a spunky kid named Duke for short." The diary describes Dux crawling through a mine field to rescue an Asian baby that he later turned over to a Taoist priest. "When we almost gave up, the Duke, by himself, charged the gun. The next thing you know, the Duke was behind the gun, cutting the enemy to pieces. He must have killed a hundred . . . at least. He turned defeat into victory." 'Flighty Ideas' The story evaporates upon inspection, according to military records. The Marine Corps said that Dux served from 1975 to 1981 and that there is no indication he ever left the United States. EDIT: Here's another one!
Was Dux a talented martial artist? Yes. Was he a con man? Yes. There's no record of any "Kumite" ANYWHERE. And if there was, Paco should have won. Brick don't hit back.
What the fuck did you order from Taco Bell that was worse than 20 year old MREs? The naked chicken chalupa is one of the best things you can put in your mouth.
Anyone else not give a fuck about the superbowl despite being a stereotypical guy who usually cares too much about sports? No, just me? Good to know
I'll probably have it on if I'm home but I won't be paying much attention to it. I really don't care about either of the teams or any of the storylines. I'm way more upset that I missed Granny's first hatty last night.
Speaking of the naked chicken chalupa, I tried it but wasn't happy. It was too spicy for me (too much pepper in the breading maybe?). I'm kind of a spice wimp. I am on my own for the superbowl. I am not into football, but I watch the commercials and I heart Lady Gaga so I'm looking forward to the halftime show. I guess during the actual game I'll be putting together that ikea table. My menu tonight is some korean chicken wings I got at a korean place, auntie anne's pretzel with some beer cheese dip I'll make in my lil dipper crock pot, and Alton Brown's onion dip that's been marinating 24 hours with my current favorite chips - sweets & beets. Officially I'll be rooting for the Falcons since I have a handful of friends that live in Atlanta.
I'm kind of curious how much engineering it took to make something that can be labeled at chicken, and make it so it can hold a taco shape.
Feel like shit so I'm watching the game at home. Pity. I look forward to this food every year, and I'm actually off work tomorrow. It's like the entire universe aligned to make this a fun SB for me but my damn sinuses ruined it.
I'm going to go ahead and say that any Superbowl where you can't drink is not a Superbowl where the stars aligned.

Dear God, I don't ask you for much, but if Tom Brady could lose that'd be great. I feel like you owe the country one after how things went this fall.
Nah I'm sure you can put it to much better use blinding yourself after watching the 1st half Pats performance.
