Mmmm…"sausage," scrambled "eggs" and "hash browns."
I had to go to Honolulu for a week about seven days after 9/11. The Hilton Hawaiian Village was virtually empty and they gave me an ocean-view corner suite on the 33rd floor of the Tapa Tower. I had one lanai off the living room and another off the bedroom. I didn't ever want to leave, but breakfast in their restaurant was $25/day with tips and took about an hour to get through. So I'd go across the street to McDonald's and get the "Big Breakfast" for about $5.
Probably unpopular opinion: I like McGriddles. I can't explain why, I just do. It's one thing that I tried once and realized it was good to my tastes, even though I don't like it enough to go out of my way. If someone with me wants a McMuffin at like 9am I'll get one of those.
Cmdr has a strange problem with breakfast burritos.. ('Just cause you can put something in a tortilla doesn't mean you should.') I'm all gimme a machaca/egg enchilada style, for breakfast, thanks.
I guess being able to just go get machaca any time is one of the perks of living in the southwest.
That and racist assholes.
I had to google machaca. Please tell me it tastes better than rehydrated beef jerky. Otherwise, I am definitely with Cmdr on this. (Also, I don't like cheese in my breakfast foods, for some reason, which seems to be hardest to do with breakfast burritos.)
No, it's so tender when it's done right.
I'll have to be that person when it comes to McD's:
When I came here for my job interview in '83, I was told "Go to Louie's for breakfast. Best hashbrowns in the world." Louie's does 24 hour breakfast, and has been a constant of my life ever since. I met the lady I lived with for 16 years when she was a waitress and I'd come in at 2am for the #1 breakfast. I'm afraid I can't get worked up over what McDonald's offers.
Louie's hashbrowns are not what they used to be, though.
Well, a waitress is generally just a person doing a service for me, who I try to be polite to and leave a tip that's reasonable given the disgraceful underpayment of service workers. I'm not, generally, "into" waitresses. Hashbrowns are a different story.
Yeah, you were the one who used my preference in breakfast food to brag about picking up a waitress. You don't get to get shirty because I was not impressed.
I'm sorry, Shelwood, I put something I shouldn't have into my first comment. I'll stop now.
I guarantee we only get it because "DIVISION RIVAL TO THE BENGALS" and I've actually heard several Bengals fans complain about this choice because they actually want to see a good team in their late slot.
Oh, next week's insanely early European adventure will be streaming on Yahoo, because that's totally a technology breakthrough, and not something that's been happening for years.
And still fucking it up! "Oh, I didn't mean to endorse Trump, people don't get my sense of humor [due to my long history of not having one], but Trump is a close personal friend of mine and I love him and will definitely vote for him, I just didn't realize people would think I'm an idiot when I endorsed him, so… j/k?"
The "GOOD–NOW GET THE FUCK OFF MY TEAM!!!" yell you heard earlier was me, when I heard about the animal abuser's injury in my car on the way back from a training run. Here's hoping Landry Jones is a decent fucking human being for a change!

I get an unusual, probably unwarranted, amount of glee from watching Philip Rivers, AKA The Angriest Quarterback in America. Every time they show his face it looks like he's about chew through a baby's skull.
I was just googling to see what brand of Crazy Christian Rivers (father of 8) is, and came across an old Deadspin comment referring to him as Marmalarde (from Animal House), which is PERFECT.
Ducked out to take my dogs to the dog park and ran into a Patriots fan (he's nice enough, he just happens to be from Boston so OK.) Anyway, he was salivating over tonight's game, "They're the one's who started this whole thing!"
I'd forgotten all about that. Should be interesting to watch, even if I'm bummed it means I'll miss a good part of the MLB playoff game…
Looks like I'm missing a good baseball game…but this Patriots – Colts game is a good one too. I'll be spending some quality time with Sports Center tonight…
So, smokey and I are flipping between the Indy-Pats game and 60 minutes, and I mute it because, commercials, and then, out of nowhere, she plays this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaTGrV58wec

I 'm kinda middlin', as usual..
When I left, Zippy was all mutters and grumbles after two difficult days.
OK, so, these fuckers are supposed to be professionals. I mean, they're getting paid a fuckton of cash to play football, even if they are only on the special teams. I've been watching football all fucking day (like a fucking champ) and have seen way too many "block in the back" calls on punts and/or kickoffs. You're got to fucking shitting me. You get paid all this fucking cash and you can't fucking tell if your block is illegal or not? Fuck you. Every player who gets hit with a flag on a kickoff/punt should be immediately kicked off the team and ordered to pay back his salary because fuck that guy.
I also dislike cheese on my breakfast sandwiches. I prefer sausage and egg on a biscuit. Have you tried getting a biscuit with just egg? I think that might be pretty tasty.
The terror of those ankle sprain bone-eating commenteria. Good thing the Wonket does not allow comments.
I am still irrationally angry that McDonald's "all day" breakfast just means McMuffins.
Mmmm…"sausage," scrambled "eggs" and "hash browns."
I had to go to Honolulu for a week about seven days after 9/11. The Hilton Hawaiian Village was virtually empty and they gave me an ocean-view corner suite on the 33rd floor of the Tapa Tower.

Good times!
McGriddles don't make sense to me. (I never poured syrup on my scrapple, like some people.. ew.)
Ditto. I will actually get a separate plate if possible so that I don't get syrup on anything that isn't a pancake/waffle/frenchtoast.
Probably unpopular opinion: I like McGriddles. I can't explain why, I just do. It's one thing that I tried once and realized it was good to my tastes, even though I don't like it enough to go out of my way. If someone with me wants a McMuffin at like 9am I'll get one of those.

Yes, that, at the bottom.
I genuinely love McDonald's food. Don't curr. More kale for you, whatever.

I'm not at all into hashbrowns or waitresses, but, to each their own.

Bengals-Bills. Cardinals-Steelers. Ravens-49ers. Guess I'm watching RedZone.
Ugh, you got stuck with Ravens-49ers too? Disgusting to lose a Packers game to that.
No one wants that, CBS.
I guarantee we only get it because "DIVISION RIVAL TO THE BENGALS" and I've actually heard several Bengals fans complain about this choice because they actually want to see a good team in their late slot.
I really don't understand how either of us got "lucky" and wound up in the blue blob: http://fansided.com/2015/10/18/nfl-tv-schedule-an…
I'm getting to watch the game on the front-loading washer that fills and drains but will not spin. Likely, the control board.

You really need to buy that HD washing machine.
Oh, FUCK Jeremy Langford for getting his first rush for a 1 yard touchdown instead of handing it to Forte again.
I thought it was weird how he screamed, 'Take that, snowpoint!" after he scored
Mark Ingram did that in the Saints game too! It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
Oh, next week's insanely early European adventure will be streaming on Yahoo, because that's totally a technology breakthrough, and not something that's been happening for years.
I am so waking up at 6 fucking 30 in the morning to watch the Bills and Jags. Give more of that, NFL.
And you can watch it on your phone, which is truly the ideal size for a sports game.
I still laugh at Galaxy users.. it's like holding a damn iPad up to your head to make a call. Just stop it.
Yay for lunchtime kickoffs!
Boo for it being Bills vs Jags!
Hmm…Just checked and there are still tix in the nosebleed section available for approx $75.
It's a good view at Wembley, but it's still just a good view of the Bills and Jags.
I paid less for a McCoy jersey. : (
I used to be able to pay about the same for a ticket in the pointy endzone bit at QWest.
That really is a unique stadium.

Wtf is up with the zip-sleeves and zip backs this year? #viagrastash
Jay Cutler is having a bad day. Jay Cutler is also having a better day than Peyton Manning. 2015 NFL is weird.
There's something out here that sounds like a theremin and I like it. (no, really)
[You're welcome.]
Fuck knows when a catch is a catch, let alone a touchdown, these days.
https://twitter.com/NFL_Memes/status/655826643123…
Me no unnerstan http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/detroit-lions-…
Apparently the ground can prevent a catch but an opponent can't, because … Yeah, I have no idea either.
Obligatory "hot take":
@PFTCommenter
Terrible call by NFL to overturn there. Rule book clearley states if player is from Detroit than thats not a catch
Obviously Golden Tate is the tiebreaker in these situations.
Is it a catch?
Was he touched?
Was he out of bounds?
These questions and more answered live from Cleveland, Ohio this Sunday!
Edit: it was correctly called not a catch, 4th down for Broncos in a tie game.
http://denver.cbslocal.com/2015/10/16/peyton-mann…
Peyton and Eli are Republicans. That is all.
And yet still aren't as dumb as Tom Brady, Donald Trump supporter.
He's trying to back away from that idiocy now.
I guess his ego was a bit deflated.
And still fucking it up! "Oh, I didn't mean to endorse Trump, people don't get my sense of humor [due to my long history of not having one], but Trump is a close personal friend of mine and I love him and will definitely vote for him, I just didn't realize people would think I'm an idiot when I endorsed him, so… j/k?"
Pity Vodka isn't a Lions fan anymore, this is an exciting game.
Hi everyone!

Yay!
At my other internet home for wayward commenters, they're still discussing that play at 2nd base last week…
Is Utley still trying to Cobble together an alibi?
No, Niners, I am not getting my hopes up about your early lead–not after you disappointed me last
MondaySunday night.Hold onto that late in the 4th quarter and we can talk…
ETA: apparently, that memory was traumatic enough for me to forget what night that game took place FFS…
Second edit: YES!
IS JOE FLACCO ELITE?
NFL France 7 minutes ago
Elite Flacco se fait intercepter !
Wow. I knew Flacco had a strong arm, but that's ridiculous!
(sorry) arm strength? this guy! (I'm partial).
Not today he ain't. So far, 19 of 30 with 2 picks.
JOE FLACCO IS PICA, AT BEST.
That was a Tebow-level throw right there.

Love how he screams at the line when he gets sacked. I bet he's just a super dad.
OMG IT'S RAINING IN PHOENIX! SEND OUT THE PUDDLE PATROL!
Tucker: NOT ELITE
Uh, so apparently the Packers and Chargers are tied…
They're not booing. They're saying KUHN.
Phillip Rivers's wife is expecting their 8th child in 13 years. Someone please explain to them how this keeps happening.
That's too many.
Isn't there already enough anger and hate in the world, Rivers family?!
"Oh, he seems like he would make such a good dad!" — things no one has ever said about Phillip Rivers
Hopefully, his lady-friend is the calming influence in the family.
You're a Mormon, Philip. You just don't know it. You already have your own planet, sheeeet.
And here's where having a secondary skilled in volleyball pays off! Yay, Packers!
I didn't expect that game to be that close, but still yay!
Can I just say, as a Vikings fan…
OMFG Philip Rivers! You had first and goal for four fucking plays! You had one fucking job! Fuck you!
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Vikings got a wild card spot, and I'm completely serious about that.
They'll lose. Classic Vikings. So close, yet so far away.

Dear Fleener,
Please have a big game. I don't want that ball to even touch Dwayne Allen's hands. Thank you.

Taking garbage coaching to a whole new level.
I'll be Glad when they don't have those weird little
fannyarm packs.Strangely, the Ruffians don't wear them. Only the coaches.
