Waffle Wagon (spelt correctly this time..)

A wagon that sells waffles. Was a converted truck.

edit: and was actually called (and registered as) "The Waffle Wagon"

Margarine is bad in a spectacularly ugly way - not only it's not healthier (hydrogenated fats are bad, read yer google) but it tastes worse!
I mean, okay, bacon is bad for health, but at least it's tasty, what do you people get out of margarine?

I say, stick to natural products, your body has evolved (or was designed :), YMMV) to optimally process them!
If you want (dietary-wise) non-cholesterol (i.e. of plant origin) fats, consume them unmodified, i.e. cold-pressed olive oil instead of doubly-refined sunflower or soy oils.
Unless you're lactose intolerant, full-fat milk and butter are tasty and nutritious and go well with pancakes (but I admit, I use chocolate spread on mine - I know it's artificial as hell, but at least it's tasty!). You can control your callory intake with more movement AND yet eat those tasty high-octane foods ;)

I can't drink that any more. Years of semi-skimmed, and some more years of skimmed, have made me prefer low fat milk. Full-fat is like drinking cream.

Non-fat for me. When I wrestled in high school that is all we drank. It didn't take long to want only non-fat. Anything fatter is, like onion said, like drinking cream.

That explains a lot, especially all those cream head pictures from days past...

Milk is great for muscle-strength-demanding sports, mainly because of the protein and calcium content. Full fat milk is indeed like cream, and liking milk so thick you need a spoon, well, I'm almost throwing up right now.

Frijj is the thickest milk-based product I've had, and although it's nice (it's flavoured) I can't drink more than a pint without feeling very bloated/sick; with semi-skimmed milk I can drink it all day and still feel good :)

I should qualify my previous statement about 'that was all we drank'. It should have said something along the lines of 'when we drank something, and it happened to be dairy, it was non-fat'. I remember days on end of lettuce cups, powerbars and water. Then scarking like a savage right after weigh-ins. Ahh, those were the days.

Yes. There's nothing more manly than dressing up in skin-tight shorts and holding another man as tightly as you can.

:wink:

:lol: :lol: :lol: Good point... but it definately was the most demanding highschool sport you could possibly partake in. Anybody who tries to say football is harder never wrestled.

Except when all the hot girls see you completely dominate the hell out of someone else they though was hot, then they clamor all over you because you are so much more manly than that sorry sack of shiznit that you just painted the math with. It may be weird looking as a sport, but it certainly had it's benefits (and I'm not just talking about the girls).

In highschool (especially during wrestling season) I was in the BEST shape of my life. That helped with the ladies for sure.

I was in the school chess club, I had plenty of adoring women.

Ok, that's a lie.

The chess clubs a lie? Or the adoring women? Or both? :lol:

@ninja: I don't like seeing people say they were in the best shape of their lives. You should be saying you are! What's going wrong? :(
