God's Beard the user technically is a noun.

It's also a verb to depict the act of wasting 30 dollars on cheap food.
Your face is a noun.
My point is that his name is referencing a phrase and not god's literal beard!
That is depressing. A shit load of bread with a little cheese.
This is mine.

That looks like a waste of money. It's just all bread/carbs.
$15 ethnic food Markup.

I went to Whataburger. Was going to go to Taco Bell but they were closed.
$25 in this case, apparently.

Who buys pizza hut at Target?
Like, pizza hut already sucks, and you've managed to make it worse.

Yeah my mom has pretty good taste. If I recall they actually got a pretty good deal on it.

Too classy for a lowly pleb like me.
Pffft, get out of here, don't be jealous that the best tasting fowl on the planet is indigenous to the Americas.

Pidgeons are indigenous to the Americas?
I would absolutely do this.

One Thanksgiving when I stayed behind at college, I broke into the fraternity house kitchen. All that was left were saltine crackers and American cheese slices. I ate a feast of that, then some friends randomly showed up, road-tripped me to some crazy redneck bar where I got way too drunk, then I vomited that meal all over the side of the car on the drive home.

I made a cheeseburger, it was pretty good.
This is mine.
I really enjoy this pizza for some reason.

This made me sad.
And I went to Coco's and had fish for my Thanksgiving meal. It was mostly due to the fact that I now live alone and I generally hate Thanksgiving food because it is really unhealthy.
I am having plenty of beer though!

Thats the first thing I thought also. No way in hell Id eat anything that touches a public table.
Damn I should have taken some pictures. Traveled cross-country to see the fam on today for the first time in a few years. Had turkey, gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, broccoli, salad and rolls. Oh and apple pie, brownies and ice cream for desert. It was all fantastic. Gonna be rocking left overs all weekend, and the fresh shrimp we bought the day of catch yesterday.
And by best $30 dinner you mean worst $30 dinner?
I had some storebought vegan meatballs in Prego sauce, half a box of stuffing (which the factory screwed up as it wasn't seasoned. It was just bread with some vegetables in it), some instant mashed potatoes, and yeast rolls.
Was good, cheap, only took 15 minutes to make, and for once I didn't have a bunch of gross leftovers.

Bought turkey breast and fat-free gravy.
Had a lil' bit of turkey and some gravy on top with a few slices of 35 cal toast.
Froze the rest of the turkey breast and I'll have healthy sandwiches for a fortnight. Thanksgiving was okay, I suppose

Considering Gafs attitude to price/weight ratio for food the easiest way to lose such a contest would be by buying a tin of good caviar. You're looking at 140$ US for about 50 grams or barely two servings of decent stuff.

I went to 3 fucking chinese places today, all closed. I settled for KFC and that was closed too! Had to eat Mc Fucking Donalds for Thanksgiving... Movies and TV lied to me
I thought chinese places were open on christmas day, not thanksgiving.
