I eat at home, on average, 10 to 14 meals a week. If I'm going out somewhere, or I'll be spending a significant amount of time away from home (as in taking a trip somewhere) I'm more likely to eat out.
In'n'Out Burger Why?

I rarely have fast food myself. Sometimes I will go out to a nice restaurant for some good food though. Fast food isn't really my thing.
If I have fries though, they must be heavily salted.

Vec, I don't know where you got that we eat out way too much. I know I don't go out very often, unless for band or something, in which case, I can't do anything else, but it's not very often..
Whatever happens..happens.

Ahh, the good old days of band trips...packing 150+ people into one McDonalds...those were good times indeed.

Everyone I know in the real world in a single place wouldn't amount to a crowd. Hell, even if you got everyone I've actually spoken to in the past year and put them in a room, it still couldn't be classified as being a crowd. Where do you people find such large groups?

TJ may have been exagerating with the term crowd. However, it is true that if I put everyone I personally knew into a room it would definatly be considered a crowd. Maybe I'm just social. I'm not sure. Actually....you must not be much of a socialite. How can you not know that many people? How big is your family? Also, define the number of people you consider to be a crowd.
Can you imagine if I was deranged?

Like I say, I talk to more online people than I do people in the real world. I do actually have a fairly large family on my mother's side, but we hardly make up a crowd (if you got the whole bunch together, which hasn't happened in at least a decade, we'd only number around 24). I hardly speak to anyone at the University (and I certainly don't know anybody's name), I only deal with around a dozen of my coworkers on a regular basis, and I'd only be willing to say that I "know" around six of them. I used to know a lot of people in High School, but have only, to the best of my knowledge, spoken to seven of them since graduation (and none of them more than once in that time period). I know six or seven people in the apartment business, a couple in the cookie business, and a handful of people who live in my building. All told, I know a good 50 to 60 people (including family members), and would say a crowd starts at around one hundred, if not more.
I still manage to know a large enough variety of people to always end up in odd and unique situations, but I never know anyone involved in said situations (nor do I usually care to), I'm usually just there for some reason.

I long for the days when I used to eat fast food regularly. I loved it, and despite (for?) seeing "Super Size Me" and reading Fast Food Nation I still get regular McD cravings. I normally treat myself and my crew to one if I'm on like a 5 hour drive home, but other than that I don't have them often.
But I love 'em. I love the taste and the grease and the choice and the size... god, writing this is making me hungry.
And to also comment on the new topicy thing, if you put everyone I personally know (as in, would be able to ask "how's the _____ going?" and "how's _____ doing with her _____?" ) into a room it would be a big chunky crowd. I know enough people that while being on holiday in Auckland, about 18,000 miles away from where I live, for about a month so far I have bumped into 4 people that I know well, without knowing any of them were going to be here. I'm actually quite proud of this.
But if you piled my close friends into a room there would be... 13 of them.

If we're just going for people you know by sight I could have a decent sized mob going. For people I actually talk to, it would maybe get a bit crowded in my basement/lair. I almost had an experience, like Jamin's of bumping into people in far off places who I didn't expect, in my case it was London, but I found out the other person was there and carefully avoided him. I am quite proud of that or else my vacation would have been completely ruined.
Then I have just enough close friends to have a 7 person diplomacy game.

I'm still in high school, so I would say I know at least 500 people by sight. I talk to maybe... 50, have about 20 I'd consider friends, and 4 who are close friends.

My expeirence with InNOut burger was sub-par.
3 Menu items and they all suck.
Stay away from the evil that is in and out burger.

I pretty much hadn't eaten fast food until Scott and I did the White Castle vs. McDonald's Taste Test this past weekend. It makes my stomach turn when I eat it, except for those occasions where I just have to have the french fries. In that case I hit up a McDonald's every six months or so.

Yes, McDonalds does make good french fries...far superior to Spangles where I live, if you've ever heard of it.

Hey, McDonalds might be unhealthy, but it beats the sludge they serve as dorm food...by far.

I love White Castle; I wish they had it on the West....
As far as french fries, I actually like those new Jack in the Box ones.

I still don't get why people like fast food at all...
The Fries are greasy, the burgers are most definatly lacking, thier milkshakes aren't even close to real...
It is just nothing short of disgusting.

First off. I'm very dissapointed that In'n'Out Burger even came to my area. It's supposed to stay in Californina. Not Nevada. Anyway besides that, the real reason I'm posting, I'm sure you've all noticed (those of you who have been there) that on the inner ring of the bottom of their cups..has a bible verse. Does anyone know why? Maybe they're suggesting their food's immaculate? I dunno...
thats kind of spooky, because as you pick it up at the drive through you never take the lid off of the cup, its like their trying to put religion into the water. weird.
Wow, you read a post by Ankhwatcher you must be so proud.
