    The single best thing you can do for your health, your weight, and your attractiveness is to stop drinking sodas. They are one of the worst possible things you can put in your body.

    I decided 22 years ago to stop drinking them cold turkey. For the first few months it was tough, but within a year I not only didn’t want them, I didn’t enjoy them when I drank them. In 22 years, I’ve had fewer than ten sodas, and only drank them because of either boredom or a lack of access to water. My entire liquid diet is water, coffee and alcohol and that’s it. Not even juices because it’s basically natural sugar water. And I don’t miss any of it.

    I’m unsure on the “attractiveness” part, but you have it right-they’re all awful for the body.  That said, I may sneak in one or two 20 ounce Sprites or ginger ales monthly during the season to treat those damned Texas football hangover flus.............

  2. I haven’t eaten a piece of candy or had a bite of a dessert in a year and a half.  If somebody gifted me with a bag of the worst shit listed in this thread, I’d chow it down like a yard dog after a fresh can of Alpo.  I can barely remember the taste of a Mars Bar (now Snickers almond, I think, for youngsters)—y’all live it up.

    A compounding pharmacist actually does things like makes specials dosages, eliminate additives, combine drugs, or add special flavors.  My ex had some kind of weird foot condition and had to go to one that could make her prescription that she couldn't get at a regular pharmacy

    That’s a good answer; also, many compounder make unique or individualized dosage forms from commercial doses or raw chemicals.  The last 20 years of my practice was compounding for companion animals and horses, about 80%, the rest mostly pain management and hormone replacement.

    Why are pharmacists so fucking shit? The longest lines I ever sit in is usually at CVS picking up a prescription, takes them a minimum of 5 minutes per vehicle. Not like we're waiting for the goddamn deep fryer

    Well, I am a pharmacist.  Trust me, there’s a lot more to it than just counting your fucking pills.  Get out of your car, come inside, and act like you’re a human being instead of a driving asshole.  And avoid CVS, WG, and WM; your life will be so much better............

    How is it possible that you literally eat every single one of those items every seven days? I can't wrap my head around it.

    This!  Wish I could get fresh oysters within a couple hours drive.  Also, I’ll eat well prepared foie gras as that asshole at the table that won’t leave any for anyone else-

    yes.  you're missing pickled eggs/herring/pigs feet

    I’m out on the herring-tried ‘em once.  I’ve only eaten cooked trotters in France, twice-different and good, no interest in pickled.  I’ve made pickled eggs a few times, like them only as drunk food.  Oh, yeah, I have a jar of pickled okra, too.

    No problem.  Your affinity for pickled things is like my hot sauce addiction.  The entire door of my fridge (except the egg shelf on top) is hot sauce.  Probably close to 40 different brands. 

    Pro tip: my hot sauces are all in the pantry—the majority don’t need refrigeration.  Lots of pickles don’t either, but I like the extra crunch!

  8. Just inventoried the refrigerator: I have Bubbies kosher dills (brined, no vinegar), Mrs Klein’s dills, Mrs Kleins sweet gherkins, Whole Foods/365 kosher dills (wife, no pics), Mezetta capers, Mezetta cocktail onions (my Gibsons!), Sanniti gardinera, sweet pickle relish, dill pickle relish, Vlasic kosher dills, Vlasic bread and butter chips, Dixieland hot chowchow, Claussen sauerkraut, and my home made pickled onion “relish”.  Surly collective:  do I have a problem here?

    I have, and the movies capture the feeling, and themes in a more visceral way than the books, especially Deliverance (IMO).  

    Pssst the great American novel is The Great Gatsby of course.

    I thought it was To Kill a Mockingbird. 

    Written by Kurt Cobain, of course. 

    All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren in second place, ahead of “Gatsby;”  Southern writers just do better.  “Mockingbird” for honorable mention.  Why do I love headcase, alcoholic Southern writers so? (Now avoiding mirrors........)

    99 times out of a hundred the book is better.  Exceptions:

    Deliverance.

    The old man and the sea

    Horseshit. Deliverance is quite possibly THE Great American Novel. The Old Man and the Sea won both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel Prize for Literature. Read ‘em again, man!
