Joe Muscara Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have often wondered about all of the young kids shooting up places and causing mayhem might have some connection to the food they are eating with Big Macs.

wmp Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Practicing Jazz is probably better for you than eating Big Macs. You shouldn't need a metronome for either. You definitely shouldn't practice law or medicine with a metronome. But sadly, that's how it's done. All I ever get from them is a few quick bars of nothing but clams and a bill. --wmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Big Mac, maybe (if you're one of those people that eats Big Macs, of course ).

MAJUSCULE Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I had a no-patty Big Mac for the first time yesterday. Pretty good, I guess. Kind of like a grilled cheese with lettuce, onions, pickles and sauce. Eric Website Gear page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dan Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I had a no-patty Big Mac for the first time yesterday. Pretty good, I guess. Kind of like a grilled cheese with lettuce, onions, pickles and sauce. What's the point? Actually, I prefer a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese. I'm diabetic (Type I), so short term, I need to make sure I don't consume too many carbs at one time, and the Big Mac has that extra non-functional bun in the middle. Of course, before anybody chimes in, yes, I DO realize I'm sacrificing my heart, arteries, and possibly other vital organs in the process, especially since diabetics are at higher risk for high cholesterol..yada, yada, yada...but my Blood Glucose Level is good!
