Well, they are great watches, and durable. I am not personally into plasticky rubbery watches, (just my personal preference) but the Casio G-shock line is probably as tough a time keeper as you can buy, bar none. The female ones are pretty sharp "lookers" (i.e. stylish and sporty and...

Chronographs - the ones that have minutes and hour counters in the subdials, are extremely useful for timing all sorts of things from steaks on the grill to a drive somewhere. Just don't leave the chronograph/stopwatch engaged when not in use because it will drain your battery twice as fast...

No, I said that corn fed is BLAND compared to grassfed. That is not the same as the tastes great less filling argument. Maybe bland is not the right word. I use bland to denote a light or subtle taste as compared to a stronger gamier taste. Can we agree that corn fed has a lighter more...

Compared to grassfed beef, or lamb, or forest venison?? Yeah, it *is* bland compared to any one of those. (and I've eaten all enough to know) :P Like I said, it's not like I don't eat US beef. I actually had some tonight b/c that is what my wife defrosted. I'm just sayin' - and the science...

FYI this article talks about how dangerous Omega 6 fatty acids are in the context of farm raised tilapia fish. http://www.newsmax.com/health/tilapia_dangerous_acids/2008/07/08/110856.html

There are also people who get hardons for pens. I guess that's also a PIS hardon. :P

There are people with the "watch sickness", or WIS (watch idiot savant) disease, all over the world. Americas, Europe, Down Under, Asia... It is a worldwide disease, commonly diagnosed by lighter than normal wallets and heavy wrists...

Yeah, unless I go mail order and uber expensive, the only buffalo I can get here are the frozen medallions in Shop-Rite and man are they expensive. Talking about meats not commonly on everyone's table, I also love duck and goose. My wife doesn't care for either though. Pain in the arse...

Well, Kobe is like corn feeding to the max. I think they give them beer. :lol: It is tender, and they say flavorful - but you have to be careful how people define "flavor". Not all Japanese eat kobe beef, you know. Japan imports lots of US Beef. I had filet mignon about a week ago, and it...

It's got nothing to do with East Coast vs farm boy. lol We have farms here too. Maybe they had good genetics. Some people with good genetics can eat anything. Another thing is that the corn fed thing didn't exist WAY back. I'm not sure when American cattlemen switched from grass finishing...

Only the top part of the band is leather. The rest looks like a nylon weave. When that one gets all messed up, you can always get either an all nylon, or look for leather straps with rubber backing, called "tropics". ;-)

I am envious of that restaurant.

Oh I love rare meat. I like it cooked on the outside and sushi in the middle, sometimes. I vary on how I cook it. I also have a kid so most of the time I have to cook it well enough for a child, unless I think ahead and take mine off first but I usually forget. Parental mind melt....

Mutant ugly duckling of the pepper world?

Oh no it ain't all muscle. I wish it were so. I do have some facial fat, and some under the chin. It just doesn't show in that pic - great angle, etc... But, I am 6 ft tall, and I have huge leg muscles, and I used to weight lift and wrestle. I am a fat guy, but I am a strong muscular fat...

That's what I am saying. Cornfed beef is not only bland in taste (I do eat the stuff) but corn gives the meat the bad Omega 6 fats vs grassfed being high in the good Omega 3 fats. Do some research on it. I also like the more flavorful gamier taste of grassfed beef, but it is on the tough...

....and I would venture to guess that most of the pork sold and consumed in the US is from American pig farms. Well, I would hope so anyway. As a rule I try not to eat pork too often. It really is not a healthy meat, if eaten too often or if you base your diet around it. I have read stuff...

They still can't figure out why it has killed so many Mexicans but on the US side of the border it has been described as mild and people have recovered. My wife has a coworker coming back from Mexico soon. I told her that she had better email him and make sure that if the fcker is sick AT ALL...

Probably about 330 or so. Yeah, pic is deceiving, but I was about the same weight when that pic was taken. Pic is a few years old.

I am SERIOUSLY considering a move to warmer climes someday when I can actually do it.....
