I guess I'm just not manly enough to enjoy things that taste like cardboard then Wink

Well-done steaks: the slightly softer alternative to just eating the metal bars off a grill.
Jan. 30, 2012  11:47 PM
 
Now what's more manly, eating a soft mushy steak or chomping through metal? However, just cos you guys have convinced me so much, next time I have steak I'm gonna get it medium well instead of well done.
Jan. 30, 2012  11:57 PM
 
I would honestly cold turkey the "well" and just shoot for Medium. It will be a world you've not known.
Jan. 31, 2012  12:09 AM
 
You think I should jump down that fast? I was thinking of going medium well tomorrow, medium the next time and finally medium rare.

Simple solution: order three steaks.

A real man could eat them.

Hey, if you paid for them I'd actually do it!

What Zain said.
Pay for em, and it's time to chow down!
I used to prefer A1 on my steaks, but now I feel as if I prefer Heinz 57. Just more of a sweeter taste - but that's not what steaks are supposed to be!

It's to prevent the government, yo...

I don't like stuff on my steak. I just like the taste of a nice, juicy, yummy, perfectly cooked steak.
Why ruin a masterpiece with sauce?

Ah, but the question of the hour is what does a perfectly cooked steak mean to you? Both sides seem to claim that only their steak choice leads to true manhood...
Jan. 31, 2012  2:15 AM
 
IMO, it just adds to the flavor.
I put some on half of the steak, then leave half without, so I can try both sides. Grin
However with 2 sauces I like.. This presents an even larger problem.

Who's keeping track as to how many pages have been filled with discussion of steaks? Lol. Maybe you should just start a thread on how you prefer your meats.

So I had to make a new Deviantart account since my first one has been grinding on a broken email and is just now being picked up by the same Chinese scammers (really, there is a huge ring of them from China- legit hackers. Not being political here.). Surprised the damage never barraged me with so many glitches earlier.

However the hell you want it!
Of course, "you" meaning the person ordering it.

For a minute there I thought you were giving Arupaeo the power to decide what a perfectly cooked steak means.

No one man should be entitled to that much power.

So Kai-V's getting close to catching up to Brad's post count. It'd take me another year if I was in her position, but you can do it in an hour Kai-V.

So how about this. For every week it takes from now until she catches up, starting today, how about we commit to writing that many BeyWiki drafts in that amount of time? Or any other ideas you have that are super cooler. Maybe we should get Hazel to make a congratulatory News Post or even we each send her a congratulatory PM for each day that it took her from today, haw haw haw hardy har har.

Don't tell her, this is a secret. With great power comes great responsibility.

I have actually been looking at our post counts for a while hah. Probably ever since I became the second top poster ...

If at least one draft could be approved every week until then, although completely unrelated, I would be glad.

Just got the e-mail, and I didn't make it in the cast.

Siiiigh....it's okay, I'm just a Freshman. I'll get there at some point...

Then it shall be done Kai-V!



So, if you don't know who Jack LaLanne is, (get out ) he was a super cool fitness guy that was basically the pinnacle of the fitness industry. As an example of the extraordinary things he did, he did what was called Birthday Challenges. On his birthday, he would challenge himself to a physical feat that had to do with his age. That might sound simple, but it's not, not Jack LaLanne style. Get this: on his 70th birthday, he swam with 70 rowboats tied to him, I believe each with a person inside, while handcuffed and shackled, for 1 mile. What 70 year old can do that - wait, what human can do that?

So, nowadays, people do the same, inspired from Jack LaLanne. Well guess what, my birthday is in April, I'll be turning 17, and I want to do a birthday challenge. I was thinking of just doing the generic challenge but it's still very very difficult. Here's what I want to do:

Pick 17 exercises. If it's a body weight exercise, 170 reps for the exercise. If I skip rope or something like that, I might do 1700 for that exercise. If I'm lifting a Dumbell or barbell, I'd do 1700 lbs (I believe 1700, and it'll be reps x weight). They don't have to be consecutive, they just have to get done. It might sound simple but basically, that's 2,890 reps minimum. I don't know how long it will take, and I still need to make it more specific, but I know what I want to do.

That guy sounds pretty swell!

Kinda like that Chinese dude that pulled a bus with his ear '_'

I really need the motivation to finish my necron army but I don't want to spend like £60 on four destroyers just so I can convert them into canoptek spyders (scarab farm is still good despite recent faq) as much as i'd love to asemble the pewter versions of spyders I lack the patients to do so. Then again I wouldn't be suprised if the new spyders despite being plastic jump the £20 each because of the "options" you get with them.

You know, we have a cooking thread, but perhaps we should have a food thread, given we all seem quite ensconced in our discussion of it?

And we all know King Crimson is better than either.

Given the amount of perfectly good drafts waiting, and the relatively minor amount of time it takes to read them, I would think one draft a week is a very, very low target...

I think one draft per week is perfect. Say she posts 50 posts per day, that'll take her 40 days to get the 2000 more, which is 5/6 weeks, which is obviously 5/6 articles. The past 5/6 articles took about 2/3 months, so it's an improvement, plus 10/12 articles in a month and a bit is far too much to get done properly, let alone give time to sleep. I couldn't think of anything else actually, haha.

Kai-V here's how it's related: you do lots and lots of work for the community, so we put in extra work for the community! Yeah it's the best I could think of, haha.

Does anyone else write a post as a response or whatever, and at the end just say fudge it and don't post it? It's been happening to me so much in the past week, even several times in the past 15 minutes. I swear I almost even did the same thing with this post.
Feb. 01, 2012  2:00 AM
 
I always find myself doing that for some reason; same thing with PMs. I either just don't want to send/post it, or I don't think it'll be worthwhile. Tongue_out
