3rd HR: we'll get to that
4th HR: survival (submerged in hot water to counter hypothermia)
During the 3rd HR, there was a moment of doubt due to severely diminishing gross motor control that affected my ability to properly and accurately control the spoon.... especially since most of the ice cream had melted and thusly in a liquid form. Compounding the problem also, was increasing difficulty to open and close my jaw.
Among those witnessing this ordeal was a certain accomplished cadet Sabre fencer (winner of Albuquerque NAC?) She had a stroke of brilliance that saved the day. She ran over to the counter, and came back with three wide straws (sort given out with shakes). Tied together, the fabricated instrument served to expedite the content intake rate, and I was right back on schedule!

I burnt quite a few calories playing Guitar Hero for Playstation 2 -- also a great referee training tool, I've come to discover. Here's a video of gameplay

| You also had desert cooked right in front of you, which I enjoyed doing, even if it took a while.

| Nah... Late rendered me speachless once about a year ago.
BTW... It's not talking when it's in white. These are my thoughts.

| Here's what concerns me. Had we run out of food, had there been no pizza, I have no doubt Mauler would have been prepared to eat Justin.
Now, I suspect he would have had some difficulty slaying Justin, but I don't know anyone else who might eat him in one sitting. In the "Alive" scenario, Justin would last 5 normal people at least 5 days to a week.
Mauler no -- Justin, in one sitting with desert and including gristle.
Not Vermonster. The monster.

First option. Now, I believe they encourage you to limit your visits to only 2 hours, and it's BYOB, but otherwise, it's a great place to eat BBQ near Austin. | |

| Meh. What an insensitive thread. There are people starving in Darfur, you know.
Oops, sorry. I was channeling a liberal for some reason. Never mind.
FG, why does your first signature line imply that you are me? I am me, you are you...koo koo ka choo.

The all you can eat bbq was amazing. They also bring you a bunch of sides, which of course are just empty calories. There should be a menu option for only meat! Just bring me the whole pig...

Its an ancient human emotion we call "feeling" that the right did away with years ago. You're old so just close your eyes and put your head down and it should pass. If it doesnt work just go outside and tell those damn kids to get off your lawn.

| Inquartata's first step to the left was allowing serfs to keep 1/3 of the grain they grew. | |
