Depends on the dance :P
They've only ever managed to get me out on the dance floor 3 times in my life, and that was far from doing any kind of dance I would do with another man.

And BigMacs are the best hamburgers every made.

Jesus Christ I know I have more cooking experience than most....well probably all of you, but yikes. olive garden still serves cooked frozen lasagna, alfredo sauce from a can, and bread sticks covered in a margarine garlic salt concoction. It's cheap as fuck for a reason, and that reason is that it's cheap crap that my dog could probably cook.

The only thing magical about olive garden is that it is still in business and rubes continue to eat there and think they are eating "Italian Food". You are eating over priced fast food. Hey, but if you like it, you like it. Myself, I'd rather spend $4.00 on a homemade crimini ragu.
Exaggerate a little?

They don't use canned Alfredo, nor do they use frozen lasagna. The only frozen stuff is the stuff that is generally frozen for transport, like meat. My girlfriend worked there in high school. They aren't allowed to experiment at all, so it's not like you're getting a signature dish. But it is all recipes, that they have to strictly follow.

And margarine, garlic salt concotion on the breadsticks?! What was I thinking?! I use margarine and garlic salt at home!

I have no problem that people don't like Olive Garden, but all of your "facts" in that post were complete B.S.

No, they were complete facts. Maybe I should have said "jarred" instead of "canned", but I've worked and been associates with Aramark, Roma, IFH, Yum, and Darden. I know what I'm talking about from first hand experience.

You could have said "jarred", but you'd still be wrong. It's not, at all. It's made from a strict recipe they have to follow.

Ok, so today I learned that browsing Reddit because I'm bored is a terrible idea. On the front page was a story about a guy who accidentally ripped his penis out by the root with a power tool, then had it surgically attached to his arm so his crotch could heal before reattachment. With. Pictures. :shock:

What has been seen, cannot be unseen.

Is there any effective difference between Reddit and 4chan in terms of content? Because I really don't think there is.

Not really. I've never browsed much on Reddit before but now I know what to expect.
