   Some people say the original GTO was the original muscle car (1964?). Others say the Chrysler letter series (first was Chrysler C-300 1955) was. It had 300 hp from 331 cubic inches.

   The Chrysler 300 series cars were also high-luxury, big, fairly heavy cars, so strictly they weren’t muscle cars (big engine in small car). But in another sense they were, as they were definitely big engine, high performance.

   I’ve been to one on Montgomery and one in Huntsville (both in Alabama). Both had outstanding salad bars.

   I highly recommend them. The below is from their web site:

   We were one of the first restaurant groups to remove artificial trans fats from our food – back in 2005. Since then, we have eliminated: Processed MSG, High-fructose corn syrup, Artificial colors*, Artificial flavors

   They have 240 stores, in 27 different states.

   It’s OK to be that disconnected – maybe it’s indicative of super discipline to instantly mute every commercial – but, making that statement unbidden is a bit naive…

   I almost never watch TV that has commercials. I stream Netflix (pay a little extra so no commercials), and if (while browsing other streams) a commercial comes on I’ll either mute it and get up and go do something else, or I’ll find something else to watch, or turn the TV off.

   The above works for me because I don’t spend much time watching my tv. Some days I don’t turn it on.

   My computer and books provide a lot more interesting entertainment than the crap one sees on TV (Netflix included).

   … Narcistic rumination is just going to provoke a stab at humor …

   If you’re going to use big words then learn how to spell them. Narcisstic not narcistic.

   You set some rules for comments that I should follow, yet in the same paragraph you violate them.

   I think you just don’t like me pointing out the difference between us (you watch commercials and I don’t). I suspect it makes you feel a little defensive (inferior?), and you make yourself feel better by attacking me.

   Not close to home at all. I just don’t see …

   I’m sure that those thoughts make sense in your head, but your actual post makes absolutely no sense.

    I occasionally get the manager’s special – soup, turkey wrap and fruit cup, but salad bar is my normal go-to.
