Second try! Satire or scary?

(I tried to post this yesterday, but work got busy and I never got it finished.)

I can't figure out if Dude Foods Blog is serious or a joke... but I'm afraid I'm leaning towards serious. It's all about the food this guy eats. Example:

"I stopped by on a recent Friday night to try their Big SOB Burger, which consists of four 1/3 pound fresh Black Angus patties, three different cheeses (with 12 slices of cheese in total), bacon, grilled onions and diced jalapenos along with fries on the side.

I actually thought the Big SOB would be a little more difficult to finish, but I really had no problem at all. I honestly think I could have eaten two of them. ... I even ate the rest of the chicken wings that my buddy Chris ordered but couldn't finish because he was too full to eat them all. Too full after eating his one patty burger..."

It's not like ThisIsWhyYou'reFat.com, the food isn't interesting, it doesn't ever tempt me to try it. (A burger? Sure! A burger that's well over a pound with a crapton of other stuff on it? No.)

Part of me thinks it must be a joke, that no person could eat the amount of food he does, but stomachs do stretch so if you eat a ton of food all the time you can keep eating that much... Still, the amount of food he listed in this post (not to mention so much beer), just seems impossible. He posts a picture of himself, and if it's to be believed, he's a skinny little guy.

More music!

If I'm not careful, people are going to start thinking I'm into music!

Little Lion Man, by Mumford and Sons. Lyrics.

The lead singer's voice is amazing, and not just because of his (yummy) accent. The last 20 or so seconds, where they're all singing, is the best, but I'm in love with the whole darned song!

None of the four are traditionally handsome, but all of them have really interesting faces. The longer I looked at them, the more attractive they became.

WoW update: Crafting still makes me sad

Mini-Keen is not so mini anymore! He hit 65, so I paused for, um, an hour or so to finish off his professions. Alchemy and JC had been stuck at 375 because of his level. I did 375-450 on both of them in less than two hours. SIGH! I always translate JC as goldsmithing (WoW/FFXI) so I expected/hoped it would be a bit of a challenge, even though I had been told that engineering was the hardest profession (heh). So sad. FFXI's crafting was insanely hard; generally it was harder to get .1 of a skillup (yes, that's a tenth of a skill point) than it was to do 375-450 in any profession I've done (all except BS). Can't we have a happy medium? I don't want FFXI's insane pain, but WoW's is just... god. Just toss a little gold at it and you're done. And by little I mean little. I spent literal fortunes on FFXI skilling, WoW is just like... yawn. It's just... it doesn't feel like I've accomplished anything at all. I've taken almost every profession to max skill, half of them multiple times, and I feel nothing. On FFXI, I felt amazing pride when I got that last .1 and got all my sub-crafts done. RL pride. On WoW I just sort of frowned and sighed and wished it meant something. :/

Oh well. In more positive news, Mini-Keen hit 66 once I was done with that. I like Nagrand, and I need rep there for my talbuk, so I've been questing for a couple levels. While it's much slower, it's SO NICE not to have to listen to teenage boys being idiots. (Pug chat is almost as bad as BG chat.) Two more levels until Northrend flying, eeeeeeeeeee!

In much more positive news, I went on an IC raid tonight! A low level one (Blackrock, um, Lair I think?). The RP was better than I expected, helped muchly by itsbacon, and Harlo and Jell being there. I really liked the guy who organized it though, and I like the DK he hangs out with, so it was mostly a positive night. :D
