Randomness thread, part two.

I hate to get all food snobby on you guys (actually no I don't) but Outback is not good.

And yeah asparagus is great.

It depends what you are looking for. If you want to stop in with some friends, be a little rowdy, drink a few beers, get a decent steak and sides and not have to drop 100 per head or pretend like you're a member of high society, it's great.

If you're trying to compare it to a legitimately good steak house in terms of food and service, yeah it probably sucks.

[boost]

I couldnt rank them. PF Changs is absolute trash. Its way too sweet and just all around not better, and often worse, than any of the countless hole in the wall family owned chinese spots yet its at a much higher price point. CPK is just straight up bad pizza imo. Cheesecake factory, well I could eat there, the cheese cake is actually pretty good and whatnot. Olive garden.. boring red sauce white sauce italian food is bad enough but their execution is not only boring but dismal too. Dont really need to comment on the rest except that red lobster does have some addictive rolls (my friend used to work there and when we would pick him up he would bring out a few dozen.)

This is too harsh. Clearly the best hole-in-the-walls are going to have amazing food that's way better than any chain. But first of all the majority of Chinese hole-the-walls are really bad to begin with, much worse than PF Chang's. At least that's true where I grew up. In California the random Chinese places are great but that's an exception IMO, because we have a much higher Chinese population for those places to cater to. Also, there's nothing wrong with highly Americanized cuisine as long as it's well executed. PF Chang's chose to make their food a lot sweeter and less spicy than real Chinese food, but at least their vegetables are nice and crisp, their meat is cooked the right amount of time, and they don't overload their food with oil and grease the way most chains do.

Cheesecake Factory's entrees are really bad IMO. They're so oily you can't even taste anything else. The only reason to go there is for the cheesecake, which is pretty awesome.

How many beers are we talking here? Enough to make someone tell someone they barely knew that they hated him, and jizz in his bed?

There are places everywhere that have way better steak and (especially) sides than Outback for the same or less money. I think you know that, and just wanted to call me pretentious. I think if I got wasted and were as big a dick to someone as you were to me, I'd be so embarrassed that I'd never say anything to them again ever that could be considered close to insulting. Keep piling it on though, wouldn't expect any different from you.

[OP]

My gf and I have been talking about getting married for a long time now and back in January we went to a jewelry store and she showed me the kind of cut and band she would want if I were to ever propose. I went back that night and picked it up but she doesn't know.

We're going to Tampa tommorow to spend the day with some friends and I'm going to propose after dinner. I'm incredibly fuckin nervous and really just ready to get it over with and out of the way so we can go ahead and buy a house and move out of this shitty little apartment.

Wish me luck

I'm afraid to take you to dinner now!

PFs and CPK are actually good, Cheesecake Factory and Olive Garden are all right but there's usually somewhere better to eat, and the rest of them pretty much suck.

I've had a lot of decent Chinese food (I'm Asian obv) and I actually think PF Chang's is pretty good. And Dave is in love with Olive Garden, it's pretty much his first choice for a place to go if I ever suggest he can pick any restaurant he wants :P

Ok, I know I'm talking to you right now and ordinarily wouldn't even feel the need to respond, but I know for a fact that some of my family and friends read FTR so I pretty much have to.

First of all, I dont even know where that came from? All I was trying to get at is that going to a fancy steakhouse isn't for everybody. Not everyone wants to spend $100 for a full course meal and the atmosphere isn't for everyone either. I think it's nice every so often, but I have a lot of friends that wouldn't want to do it, period. My post had absolutely nothing to do with you, nada, zip, zilch.

Second, some of the things you attributed to me are OUTRIGHT, blatant lies. I'm still trying to figure out of that was intentional or not, but whatever. As I seem to recall, we had a couple issues that (I thought) we had worked out. Two. Freaking. Years ago.

To be honest, I realize my post wasn't overly clear but I'm amazed you didn't try to clear it up first. Total BS man.

eric told you he hated you? And he jizzed on your pillow? Wtf is going on.

edit: the bolded is a rhetorical question.. as in this accusation is so absurd that an actual response to this is not needed.

[flomo]

[BennyLaRue]

Can you jizz on someone's pillow figuratively? Maybe that's what happened.

Tying this all together, the Olive Garden jizzes on my pillow every time I go (except for the bread sticks).

[Lukie]

NOBODY EVER JIZZED ON ANYBODY'S PILLOW wtfbbq

somebody took some of the dancer/hooker cards from the street and rubbed a little curel lotion on them and put a few around the room. it was obvious and supposed to be funny and was never malicious or anything other than a blatantly obvious attempt by a drunk person to be funny. oh, and the bottle was right next to the damn cards.

[OP]

trip report, pls.

I went to Jared's so obv. she said yes.

Definately gonna miss bachelorhood, but she keeps me in line and cooks so I'm not living off Ramen and cereal, so it'll be nice.

We got into it a little on the trip down so I took her out for sushi first to butter her up a little and get her back in her "awe I love you so much" kinda mood. My friend Ryan who I've known since I was just a little OP "just happened" to drop by and invite us to a party at the yacht club he works at. He had it set up so I could do it on his dad's ballin ass boat with some Moet and tiki torches and all that good stuff. I gave her a sappy speech and she was like "OMG OMG OMG OMG" I timed it dead at sunset too, so that was pretty nice. And I got some booty on a boat for the first time. True story! Nothing too elaborate or fancy, but it was cool. Glad it's over.

Side notes:
-Moet is the shiz-nittlebam snip-snap sack
- A Gulf coast sunset is viagra for women
-Shes still in Tampa interviewing for jobs and i took the week off so I plan on grinding drunk in my boxers til about Friday and maybe some golf if the weathers nice

Congrats, OP.

More [inherent] Randomness:

Most people know of the placebo effect. I assume that most don't know of the nocebo effect. (I had never heard of it until now)

In its original application, "nocebo" had a very specific meaning in the medical domains of pharmacology, and nosology, and etiology.

It was a subject-oriented adjective that was used to label the harmful, unpleasant, or undesirable reactions (or responses) that a subject manifested (thus, "nocebo reactions" or "nocebo responses") as a result of administering an inert dummy drug, where these responses had not been chemically generated, and were entirely due to the subject's pessimistic belief and expectation that the inert drug would produce harmful, injurious, unpleasant, or undesirable consequences.

In these cases, there is no "real" drug involved, but the actual harmful, unpleasant or undesirable biochemical, physiological, behavioural, emotional, and/or cognitive consequences of the administration of the inert drug are very real.

God I managed to catch dysentery while I was away and it so fucking gay. I've had it for the last 5 days, 2 of those included high temperatures with and an upset stomach, the last 3 have been all about the inability to venture more than 10 m's from a toilet. I can't eat ANYTHING without stomach cramps and the worst diarrhoea ever. I'm so hungry right now but I can't eat for fear of shitting myself, I dare not even fart without sitting on a toilet, fml.

Dysentery is extremely fatal.

Go to the doctor or else.

or else you'll be like 65% of your family in oregon trail

[ATOTHEC101]

How is dysentery fatal? From what I've read as long as you keep yourself properly hydrated it should pass within a week, I would have thought the high fatality rate is due to the many deaths in 3rd world countries where they don't have access to fresh water, am I wrong?

Btw I don't have the the worst type that you commonly get in tropical countries, just the standard.

[wufwugy]

From wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysentery

Dysentery (formerly known as flux or the bloody flux) is a disorder of the digestive system that results in severe diarrhea containing mucus and blood in the feces. If left untreated, dysentery can and usually will be fatal. It was most common in the early days of the colonies of the New World.

Symptoms and complications

Symptoms of dysentery include frequent passage of feces and, in some cases, vomiting of blood. The frequency of urges to defecate, the volume of feces passed, and the presence of mucus and/or blood depends on the parasite that is causing the disease. Once recovery starts, early refeeding is advocated, avoiding foods containing lactose due to temporary lactose intolerance, which can persist for years.

Treatment

Dysentery is initially managed by maintaining fluid intake using oral rehydration therapy. If this treatment cannot be adequately maintained due to vomiting or the profuseness of diarrhea, hospital admission may be required for intravenous fluid replacement. Ideally, no antimicrobial therapy should be administered until microbiological microscopy and culture studies have established the specific infection involved. When laboratory services are not available, it may be necessary to administer a combination of drugs, including an amoebicidal drug to kill the parasite and an antibiotic to treat any associated bacterial infection.

You're probably right, but fucking around with hydration is really bad. If you knew a doctor he would probably tell you to see a doctor. But it could be as simple as keeping hydrated. I'm unsure though because it's possible that the dehydration it causes could be so bad that you could die overnight type of thing. Doesn't look that way though

[boost]

If left untreated, dysentery can and usually will be fatal.

thats enough to send me straight to the doctor..

[ATOTHEC101]

Just got back from the doctor, he's given me a course of anti biotics to kill the baceria, some rehydration tablets (because I can't even keep liquids inside me anymore) and some tablets to calm the diarrhoea.

Thanks for the advice wuf.

[wufwugy]

Good to hear. I'm sure that even if it wouldn't kill you, you'll be much better off having seen the doc since it will be less painful and clear up much faster with the meds

I think I'm gonna become an internet physician now
