[QUOTE=VCO3] When I went to school, we had gross chicken patties and gross hamburgers, with soggy french fries on the side. EVERY DAY. And that’s IT. [/QUOTE] Fuck you, mister high and mighty. When I was a kid we were made to eat rocks while crucified upside down. You know how good a rock tastes when you’re upside down with nails through your arms? Pussy ---

[QUOTE=Guinastasia] Dude, have you ever actually _tasted_ cafeteria food? It’s absolute crap. It’s also the most unhealthy shit I’ve ever seen. [/QUOTE] Yeah but I sure do miss the square, thin, greasy pizza slices. Oh, and the bathroom breaks I took after lunch… I tell ya, good times. ---

Although this thread made me laugh hard enough to wake up my wife at 1:00am, I must say that small children learning how to properly question authority is one of those things that makes America great. I personally fought to overturn a school rule prohibiting playing _Magic: The Gathering_ at my high school in 1995. It’s something I’m very proud of doing. I challenged authority and won. Should students never be allowed to question the decision-makers? Asking for surf-and-turf is essentially asking for too much and bargaining down. They ended up with better vegetables and you pit them for having the gall to ask for an improvement in their food? Fuck you. ---

Cochrane, you paid them to set that up didn’t you? I avoided this thread for a while because I don’t like the Op’s manner of posting, but you guys made me glad I broke down.
