Avocados are nature's fat.

If Zimmerman walks, it will be due in large part to that horrible closing statement from the prosecution. Whiny, aimless, and weakly argued. There were some good points there, but they were made poorly.

Call me crazy, call me a cab, but I don't think 25 year old Bruce Lee could last three minutes in the ring with 25 year old Royce Gracie.
I agree. Lee's speed, power, and accuracy would give him a pretty big advantage early on, but once Gracie gets inside and grabs a leg it's all over. I guess it depends on how tactical Lee's striking is and whether he can keep Gracie away for long enough. I say he can't.

Avocados are suppose to be "good for you" but I just flat out don't like them. "...Enjoy them as a snack, in a salad, or even on PIZZA! ..." is an excerpt from a commercial I have to hear all the time at work. I don't like avocados, but even if I did, I don't think they'd be a good pizza topping.

I have no clue on where to stand on this one. I say if Zimmerman threw the first blow, guilty of 1st degree murder (the 911 tapes say he was asked not to approach the teen). If Trayvon hid and then attacked Zimmerman, then Zimmerman should walk.

I read on a ticker that the prosecution said something close to "Ya know what? If we haven't proved second degree murder, how's about we settle for manslaughter instead? I mean, c'mon, work with me here!".

Time will show if that was a dumb move.

I'm with you. Avocado and things made from it are disgusting.

I love 'em with a fairy sprinkle of Goya Adobo (no DD puns please) but would never purchase something from a restaurant that contained "fresh" avocado. They spoil quicker than freshly cut apples, and the preserving methods kill the flavor.

I generally dislike avocado as well.

I have the exact same issue; I swear, I look like a lollipop! :lol:

Good. So I'm not the only man in the USA not partaking in Guacamole during the Super Bowl. :lol:

Yuck, I can't stand that stuff. I've even tried the low sodium one and it's still WAY too salty for my tastes. I'm also the guy that orders my fries with no salt and prefers low salt potato chips, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I still think Adobo is WAY too salty.

I take pleasure in making a good breading for my chicken cutlets. I can use the same seasonings that's in Adobo, minus all the salt and whatever else is in there like preservatives.
