A sad, constant bid for attention

I have a red-wine IV drip set up in my office to help me cope with this morning's breakfast.

I have heard very good things about the McGriddle but I just cannot bring myself to do it.

AoN, today I was craving grease so with my egg whites I ordered sausage and although it initially looked great, I was sorely disappointed with the a.) texture and b.) flavor. I much prefer bacon. The bacon today looked fatty though. That was a turn off.

This reminds me of a comment that a guy I knew in college received on some paper he had written. To wit:

• Ian - there are just two problems with this paper: 1. Style and 2. Content.

What is it? I found the picture on the menu not illuminating. Or perhaps not illuminated.

On the bright side, it sounds like he nailed the title.

I have had it. I prefer the Egg McMuffin.

Please note that I do not eat bacon or sausage or canadian bacon, and so I fling any of those off the sandwich. This may have an adverse effect on the taste of the sandwich for some of you.

Well THAT sounds like a good time. Want a quick breakfast? First, bake up some biscuits . . .

And imagine the complications if you want egg, too. not always so easy to get the egg to cook in a size that fits right on the biscuit. Yes, wanker, I am sure you have handy-dandy egg molds. I don't care. It's still a pain in the ass.

No*4 was speaking specifically of missing country ham and biscuits. This was admittedly a tangent off your fast food frenzy, but it was only a tangent. It's not always about you.

As far as geting the egg to fit on the biscuit, you may have nooticed, had you actually looked at the sandwich before cramming it down your throat, the egg is scrambled and folded.

You know what a fold is, don't you? It's those places between the rolls where your sweat collects.

And the font. I think the professor may have waxed lyrical about the font (maybe even the margins!) during their conference.

Sorry fringey, but that was pretty funny.

Due to a slight change in my workout schedule (i.e. I didn't go), I totally forgot about Project Runway last night. I assume Bravo will be rerunning ad nauseum for the next few days and I'll consult Tivo on that point at the first opportunity, but as of right now Spoiler Warnings would be much appreciated.

ETA: Thank you.

I never watch that crap.

Wonk was on me for being coherent when I write.

That was not coherent?

Whiffwhiffwhiff. Go back and look at what she quoted. The only things you found wrong with the sausage were 1) texture and 2) flavor. What else is there?

And country ham/biscuits are good anytime.

I personally can't stand any of those egg sandwich things. Once in my life in Gunnison, CO I had a really, really good bagel/egg/cheese/bacon sandwich from a local place, but that is the only one ever that was remotely yummy.

But, it looked good. 3) intially aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

The only thing wrong with this explanation is that it's both redundant and also repetitive.

It's basically an Egg McMuffin (or sausage etc McMuffin) but instead of being on an English Muffin, it is wrapped between two pancake-like things that are somehow infused with maple syrup. It's a sweet/salty combo that doesn't sound that appetizing to me.
