... at the time.
I'm watching Unwrapped on the Food Network, and they did a segment on a woman whose bright idea was edible art supplies. She got the idea because her (obviously not very bright) son would always eat the paste. So, she decided to make pastes and paints edible.
She thinks it's a great idea.
I don't.
In the real world, paint isn't edible. Neither is glue.
What happens when these kids finds a can of paint or a bottle of Elmer's glue and decides to make a snack of it?
Kids need to learn that there are things that you can put in your mouth ... and things you can't.

What things do you see that make you scratch your head?

i love watching food network and shows about food. chopped is awesome! and man v food on the travel channel is very entertaining although i think what he does is ridiculously unhealthy. i scratch my head whenever i see him put away 6+ pounds of food because I want to know how he feels the next day. I wonder if he just goes on a water diet the day before these things.

Chopped should be called, "America's biggest ego." Seriously, those guys are just full of themselves. But yeah, it's on my TiVo. Dinner: Impossible is my favorite food show, along with the Iron Chef shows. Hell's kitchen is fun too.

Bourdain and Zimmern are fun to watch. Zimmern just because hes like a walking bowling-ball in a half hour long train wreck.

I don't. I find it frustrating that these teams come all this way to do a BBQ competition and can be disqualified because they don't make good coleslaw or have never cooked rattlesnake. It's just another gimmicky food competition show. I'd rather it be about actual food prep and cooking so I can learn something. If I want to see a "gourmet" meal made using a blow torch, unripened fruit, and ramen noodles I'll watch Chopped or Top Chef. I just find that crap frustrating. But I guess it makes for "better TV".

yea. he just looks puffy. I mean, those little dinners he has on those shows probably clock in pretty high with the caloric intake and sodium.. id say some of those missions he goes on are 8,000+ mg of sodium and 10,000+ calories. not to mention the fat and saturated fat. cant be good.

There's a show in Canada call The Junk Guys or The Junk Brothers, or Two and a Half Pieces of Junk - whatever, you get the idea.

It has to be staged because nobody's killed them yet. These two Ftards sneak around picking up things people leave out for the junk collector. They convert this junk into another freshly painted piece of junk by bolting other junk to it. I'm not exaggerating. They took one person's bicycle, turned it into some kind of bird feeder or something, then hoisted it up into the tree in her front yard. This show serves no meaningful purpose other than to annoy people and sell tools to unsuspecting wannabe dogooders who think they may save the planet by "revocering" lost treasures.

Regarding cooking shows, I miss Giardia (or whatever her name is) - that hot Italian lady with the giant . . . head. She made some kind of desert once that almost made her vomit and then she had to taste it again just to be sure. It was hilarious when she tried to cover it up - like her eww face was actually her "that's so awesome" face.

I watch and laugh when the women's shakeweight comes on. When the men's commercial comes on I change the channel.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
