[Chelle]

what was first, pie or cake?

I think pie.

[a500lbgorilla]

cake hands down

[will641]

uh oh, rilla has formed a wild and dangerous opinion of his own!

[BennyLaRue]

Pie evolved from cake. There's a whole chapter in The Origin of Baked Goods on it.

[will641]

also the answer is cake and its not even close.

[swiggidy]

I would keep my last name, but switch back to the original spelling (add a Z as the second letter)

It's short, different, and no one can pronounce it, even after I tell them how to say it.

[boost]

I rarely make up a name in a situation where a last name would be called for, but I often make up a first name. When Im lazy its just steve, when Im in a goofy mood its cecil.

SERVES 6
Ingredients

* 6-8 slices bacon, finely chopped
* 2 rabbits, wild if possible, otherwise domestic
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
* 1/2 cup flour
* 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
* 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
* 1 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade
* 1 bay leaf

Directions
1
Heat the roaster or casserole over moderate heat and cook the bacon, stirring and turning it frequently, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set the pan with bacon fat aside for a few moments.

2
Cut the rabbit into serving pieces. Cut away and discard the belly meat.

3
Add the salt, pepper, and flour to a brown paper bag. Add a few rabbit pieces to the bag and shake to coat with flour mixture; repeat with remaining rabbit pieces.

4
Preheat the oven to 325°F.

5
Heat the reserved bacon fat in the pan over high heat until it sputters.

6
Brown the rabbit pieces on all sides, in batches; this should take about 10 minutes. Transfer them to a serving plate.

7
Pour off all but 2 tablespoon of fat and cook the onions in it until they are soft and translucent. Pour in the vinegar and chicken stock and add the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up any browned bits clinging to the bottom and sides of the pan.

8
Return the rabbit with juices to the roaster or casserole. Add the drained bacon. Cover the vessel tightly, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the rabbits are tender but not falling apart.

9
Serve the rabbit directly from the roaster or casserole, or arrange the pieces attractively on a heated platter.

HARE PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chelle]

I've had rabbit before, but since this is a pet rabbit, it wouldn't have much taste, and would be fatty and ew. I tried giving the rabbit to my dad for him to cook it, but he was like uhhh no because the meat would prob be nasty.

[Lukie]

Boost delivers.

[BennyLaRue]

That's a good thing. Rabbits are too lean, which is why the bacon is necessary in Boost's recipe.

Back to my movie ineptitude how good is Raging Bull, I've never seen it. What about "the hustler"?

[wufwugy]

depends on what you like. raging bull is really good, but it's not my particular type so u wont see me raving about it. still good tho.

dont bother with hustler until youve seen newman's other movies which are better. like cool hand luke and butch cassidy and the sundance kid

btw we were driving to town today and seen a kitten on the side of the road, that looked like it had been hit or was just laying on the road and it's paw twitched, and jesse was like "i was really hoping you didn't see that." i thought i was going to start crying. i'm such a pussy.

[a500lbgorilla]

i cry when i see dead things. Its just that instead of weeping and actually leaking tears I simply strike a manly pose and shoot a quick smirking comment about how much better i am than the dead thing in question.

It works well. You should try it out.

ya but then not only would i be soulless [ginger], but also heartless.

Apples, onions and potatoes all taste the same. Any differences in taste come from the smell. If you blocked your nose you couldn't distinguish between onion and apple, or between different varieties of apple.

probably look quite better the next day(s). People on low-carb diets should throw in a high-carb day during their cycles, certainly not a bad thing.

[Lukie]

If a person is on a no carb (or very low carb) diet.. and one day eats a ton of carbohydrates... what would be the most likely outcome?

what, specifically, are you looking for? This is actually fairly complex but suffice it to say that a lot of good things happen which is the basis for any cyclical ketogenic diet out there-- there are a lot and they are very effective.

The first issue to address is that of partitioning. When muscle glycogen is depleted, incoming carbs are partitioned into muscle cells NOT fat cells. I'm of the opinion this is a good time to creatine load as well (if you are a lifter) but regardless, drink lots of water on carbup days.

There are lots of benefits, like resetting your metabolism, increased leptin levels, increasing t4 to t3 conversion (active thyroid hormone) and testosterone, and a whole bunch of interconnected things that I don't have the space or the knowledge to do here. I'd recommend reading some of Lyle Mcdonald's work.

If you're looking for a specific day to look better, spenda is right and usually the next day you look quite good. Overly simplified version: carbs get shuttled into muscle cells and pulls water with it, making you look full instead of depleted and typically dry under the skin as well (depends on your hydration, bodyfat level, and how well you did the carb load).

Down the road, in a gym far away
A young man was heard to say
"No matter what I do, my legs won't grow!"
He tried leg extensions, leg curls, leg presses too
Trying to cheat, these sissy workouts he'd do!
From the corner of the gym where the big guys train
Through a cloud of chalk and the midst of pain
Where the big iron rides high, and threatens lives
Where the noise is made with big forty-fives
A deep voice bellowed as he wrapped his knees
A very big man with legs like trees
Laughing as he snatched another plate from the stack
Chalked his hands and monstrous back
Said, "Boy, stop lying and don't say you've forgotten!
Trouble with you is you ain't been SQUATTIN'!"

uh... no?

Even if this were true, distinguishing taste from smell is silly. A large part of our "taste" sensation actually is happening in our nose.. so ya if you lost your sense of smell, most everything would taste like cardboard, or spicy cardboard.

I've never experienced this. I did have to shit a few times the next day, but we're talking a very large volume of food (>1000g carbs for sure) so that's expected.

If you're truly doing a carb load then the typical advice for carb type foods is reversed. Instead of nutrient dense high fiber foods like veggies, oats, brown rice, etc., you typically want more refined stuff. Lots of people do white bagels, white pasta, sugary cereal, etc. There is just no practical way to eat such a massive volume of carbs through historically 'healthy' sources. Even if you could, a few hundred grams of fiber very well might make you explode.

One weird issue that I have experienced (I'm relatively new at the cyclical thing so keep that in mind) is that the roof of my mouth got pretty sore, almost like a pizza burn. I think it was from things like cereal and toasted bagels that scratched the mouth. Weird, I know.

To avoid explosive diarrhea on low carb days make sure you get lots of fiber.. veggies, psyllium husk, etc.

holy fck life sucks so hard right now. My buddy challenged me to eat 4 arby sandwiches in 1 minute. Which was obviously no problem. I failed, but I got to eat 4 arbys sandwiches. I immediately felt tired, drank some water and laid down for 30 minutes only to get up and blow chunks all over my bathroom. I dunno if he poisoned the sandwiches, or arbys sucks (which is insane cuz arbys rocks) but I feel like right shit right now.

2 perspectives:

Perspective #1)

Alright, so I'm heading up to the gym today. Time for some SQUATS! Nobody ever does squats at my gym; everybody is too busy doing various forms of curls with the occasional set of bench press worked in. Nice, the only power/squat rack in the gym is empty.. it's all mine!! Ok that tall skinny guy just looked at me and knows what I'm here for, why is he going over...... no no nononono! Are you serious? He's squatting the FUCKING BAR?!!?

Ok, I ask him if I can work in because this is serious business. He obliges but does not seem overly thrilled. Whatever. Pussy. I guesss I'll just warm up while he does his work sets. We do 135, 185, 185. WTF, he is actually a pretty big guy and he's stopping at 185. And why the fuck is he going down so far?? His ass is almost hitting the ground. Doesn't he know that you're not supposed to do down that low when you powerlift??

So he did 185 for 2 sets, and said the bar was all mine. Pussy. He was afraid of me and knew that I'm the real man of the gym and I'm going to show him how to use some REAL weight. 455 here we come!!1!

Ok so I'm pyramiding up and I finally have 4 plates plus a quarter on each side for my 455. Going for a record here! I'm clearly going to need 3 spotters and certainly everyone here is trained for this especially in this laid back fitness center that has exactly 1 place you can squat. So I get 3 guys including the aformentioned 185 wonder.

TSSSSSSSSSS UGHHHHHHHH (*he goes down 6 inches and comes back up*) "YEAAAH!! WOOHOO PERSONAL RECORD!!!"

I (i.e he) proceed to pyramid back down exchanging 45's for 25's as I go then removing the 25's (455, 405, 375, etc.) and since 185 wonder is the only guy in the gym that actually looks like he has some decent muscle mass, I grab him to spot me every time. He doesn't have a clue what he's doing so it shouldn't bother him; he's going from squats to chins to bench press to rows to overhead presses and doing all sorts of goofy shit.

After one of my sets I brag about how much I can squat to parallel and this clown has the NERVE to tell me that I'm not "quite" going to parallel, so I proceed to show him in the mirror how far I'm going down. I'm clearly going down all the way. He says that when I actually have weight on my back my hips are rising and my back rounding. What a bunch of baloney. I'm doing POWERLIFTING SQUATZ BABY!!!

Everytime I look at this idyit he's talking to another girl. What is his deal? Thats why he can't put up 465 on the SQUAT. Pussy.

----------

Perspective 2 (my perspective)

Alright so I'm heading up to the gym today. Specifically I'm doing Lyle Mcdonald's UD2.0 and after a minor adjustment, this day calls for a full body tension workout. My plan is to open with squats after a brief warmup and go from there.

After a brief walk and very mild stretching (specifically, my tight hip flexors and hamstrings) I do a warmup set of bodyweight squats, perhaps 20 or so. I look at the stairs and he's here. The guy that squats for an hour at a time and has a range of motion of 6 inches at most.

I'm going to be doing all of about 2 warmup sets + 2 working sets, so I get right to work. He'll be using it for at least an hour if I don't jump on it now, and it's the only place to squat in the gym. I start off with the bar, really loosening my cranky knees up. He asks to work in and I begrudgingly allow it, mostly because I'm high on gym etiquette. Of course the bar is too high for this short chubby mofo, so I have to move it down. Great, now it's a foot low for me and uncomfortable at best, dangerous at worst.

I have 2 working sets and It's not my heavy day so whatever, it's not a big deal. We chat a bit, I try to talk about the Cavs but he doesn't follow them. I knock off my 2 work sets, about 2x10 @ 185 or so coming from a very legitimite full squat (i.e. knees well below parallel. I give him the rack and even help him unrack the weights as he wants an entirely different bar.

Anyway, I know in my heart that he's going to go way too heavy and probably will end up one day hurting himself, but it's not really my business. Sort of.

Anyway I go do the rest of my routine which included various other leg work, incline DB press, pullups, bench press, overhead press, rows, and a little isolation work to boot (arms, traps, calves). Every 5 minutes or so I'd have to squat this dude though and I pretty much just stood out of the way so I wouldn't get hurt.

He made a comment about going to parallel and I pointed out that he's not "quite" getting there (in reality, I don't even think it was a quarter squat). He's clearly offended so I try to explain it to him but he just flat out disagrees with me. Then he tells me the last time he was up there he slipped on a squat and hurt himself because "some asshole didn't wipe up their sweat from the ground". As he's wearing a filthy, dirty, oily sweatshirt with grimy dirty hands and sweating like a hog. Yeah dude, I'm sure it was somebody else's sweat.

I'm bored. The end.

cliffs notes: just because you're an online tough guy and you squat and/or deadlift doesn't necessarily mean that you're not the gym idiot.

fwiw the guy was actually pretty cool and nice guy.

[bigspenda73]

Is being tired just a mental state? Case in point, usually it takes me 10+ hours of sleep to wake up and not feel like total crap. I set an alarm but always for 11-12 hours after I fall asleep. If I sleep for anywhere in the 4-7 hour range I feel awful waking up, I never feel good.

Today I either had a dream my alarm was going off OR it malfunctioned b/c I swore it went off, I rolled around in bed for like ~10 minutes and felt quite awake. Anyways I roll over and it's 10:00 AM, which, would be fine had I went to sleep around midnight except I crashed at 5AM yesterday. So, I wonder, is my body somehow conditioned to feel rested if it thinks I got 10+ hours of sleep when I really only got ~5. Typically when I have to wake up early and get about 5-6 hours I feel awful but that's not the case today.

[BennyLaRue]

Typically when I have to wake up early and get about 5-6 hours I feel awful but that's not the case today.

You probably got lucky and woke up during the light sleep portion of your sleep cycle. Mine seems to be about 90 minutes, ie. I don't feel groggy if I get 6, 7.5 or 9 hours of sleep but I'm fucked if I get 8 hours.

Read up on sleep cycles if you're not familiar with what I'm talking about. It's pretty interesting stuff.
