WHy are like half the posts here news articles?

Don't we have places like CNN.com and NewYork times etc for reading the news? Not trying to piss anyone off but I was just curious.

Of course but my 2 cents which is worth actually .05 cents, there should be a forum for news posts. I personally hate getting bombarded with the same old news every day and think this forum should be used for much mroe important things like talking about bitches and sandwiches and shit like that.

I don't know that I would call it a bombardment. I would say something like,"De gustibus..."

And they're usually news stories with commentary appended, which thence triggers much discussion, debate and general frivolity as people take sides and weigh in on the topic. A good time for all, I would say.

Or you could show tits.

Talking about bitches and sandwiches often delivers much the same debate and general frivolity plus it's something I'm much more versed in. I'm just brain dead today though and can't think of anything along those lines to discuss.

On a side note I just moved from Minneapolis in May. We were probably neighbors or some shit. I used to live just of Lyndale on Grand Ave. in uptown. Spent many an hour at the CC club. Ever been there?

I bike past it frequently. I have lived here for three years. Why haven't you bought me a beer in all that time?


And if you can't post about current events, post about bitches and sammiches.

Well not knwoing who you are is probably the most likely reason I never bought you a beer in those 3 years. Chances are though if you hung out there a few times I probably did buy you a beer because I would often get drunk and buy drinks for just about anyone within a 10 foot radius of me. Man the money I blew at that place. One of the bar tenders used to buy me drinks all the time because he said I paid his rent in tips every month. HAHA I don't live there any mroe so no beer for you!

I can't think of any bitches I wanna talk about right now (I just ate), but this was one of the best sandwiches I ever had in my life. While on tour, somewhere outside of Chicago on an insanely hot, muggy day (that's cream cheese, mayo, coleslaw, tomatoes, ham and swiss. Sounds horrible, and probably is, but we were pretty fucked up and hungry that day) :

Speaking of sandwiches, I demand a Quiznos open up around here. I see their commercials all the time and I am forced to get an inferior sandwich from a local pizza place around here.

Toady? whoa.

And fuck Quiznos, they may be better than subway, but that doesn't automatically qualify them as 'good'

I know what you mean, man. I wish we had one right here. Instead I have to drive five minutes to get to one. Horrible, y'know.
