a bar here has something called a John Candy Burger, which is basically a double bacon cheeseburger. After that, they've got "The Rita" (named after Rita McNeil, a notably huge Canadian singer). It used to be a 2 pound hamburger patty topped with bacon and cheese, but now they've made it a 3 regular patty bacon cheese burger. I ordered it once on a dare and very nearly puked before I finished it. Could not even touch the fries. Felt like death for a few days.

Sitting in the airport waiting to board the flight to PHX, than connect to Cancun. Luckily the "hurricane" wound up a tropical depression by the time it hit Cancun and even than it wasn't a direct hit.
I got "randomly selected" by the TSA on the way in. Yay for 5 AM full body scans and swabs in my carry on!

I haven't used iTunes in like five years but it's the only damn place on the internet that I can download fucking Treehouse of Horror episodes. Can someone tell me why the fuck it still takes ninety minutes to download twenty minutes worth of programming from fucking iTunes? Are we flying our fucking servers at half-mast in honor of the big chief? Christ.

I know you aren't into torrenting, but yeah it would take about 5 minutes to get those on a torrent.

Mostly I'm not into permanently incapacitating my computer.

That only happens if you use limewire. Which I think is gone now.

There are plenty of trustworthy uploaders out there if you do your research. Staying away from .rar files is also generally good practice.

A .rar is a compressed file (or files) that need to be uncompressed for you to see the actual contents. Anything can be compressed into a .rar. Games, movies, mp3's you name it. The only time I consciously download .rar's is for PC games because it's hard to find them any other way, and easy to identify trusted uploaders because the same groups do the quality releases.

Yup. I always avoid .rar files. Too much of a risk.

So there could be viruses or whatever hidden in with the stuff you want? I never knew this, I should probably be more careful, and less trusting of the internet haha.

Does this mean .zip's are fucked too? I NEED MY .ZIP's BROS!
