I’ve always wanted to start a thread here that would just take off, have a life of its own. Here goes… Post your random thoughts here! To get you started: I just realized I miss pastrami burgers (I heard a radio ad for one today). ---

I have one. Yesterday’s food intake consisted entirely of pop and snack food. Which is pretty rare for me. 5 Peperami, Discos (a whole 6-pack bag) Walkers plain crisps (A whole 6-pack bag), most of a bag of bassets fruit favourites, a litre of tango, 350ml of pepsi, 350ml of sprite… That was a fat geek diet if ever there was one! ---

**Lobsang** , you should hear about the “fat camp” my sister and her friends had on a weekend back in July. (at least, I think it was July) They consumed nothing but pop, chips, and unhealthy food… in massive quantities, too. F\_X ---

Is it possible to fall forever? Unless there’s something around with some gravity to attract you, would you even fall at all? And if there’s something with enough gravity to attract you, wouldn’t you eventually hit it? I’m not sure falling forever would be all that much fun, but it might be if it really worked and you had something to eat and read while you were falling. I guess a DVD player would be out of the question, but you’d need some really long movies to watch. ---

I eat far too much macaroni and cheese. Kraft is the best, although more expensive. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/random-thoughts/203493.md?page=2)
