RANT: The Clone Wars

When people fast, do they consume just water, or can you drink coffee still?

Depends on the fasting and how devoted they are to its purpose.

Some folks I know go all-out for Ramadan and only have dates and tea during their non-fasting hours. Some cheat and sleep through the fasting hours and eat at night.

Least in the Catholic Church, it's abstinence from red meat on Fridays and Ash Wednesday.

Sleeping doesn't count? WTF.

Fuk this.

Lol, like I said it depends on what the fasting is for. Since Ramadan is a religious thing, it isn't so much about the nutritional/caloric intake within a given amount of time, but about the act of fasting itself during an established chunk of the day.

I tried fasting once when I was like 9.

Then I saw some kebabs.

All downhill from there.

Never again.

Cheers.

Apparently there's an amazing kebab place a few miles up the road from me.
Heard it was "good" until I recently met a girl who spent some years in Turkey. She said it was fantastic and highly recommended I check out their adana kebabs.
I'm a fan of the doner kebabs though.

<cue internal conflict potentially leading to kebab OD and fatty weekend>

Iskender version = the best.

Main ingredient(s): thinly cut grilled lamb, tomato sauce, pita bread, melted sheep butter and yogurt.

Oh lawd.

Business idea:

Change name to Bob.

Open up a Kebab/Hamburger East/West fusion kind of restaurant.

Call it Kebab Bob.

$$$.

Business idea #2:

Open a doner restaurant that's also a strip joint.

Call it Doner Boner.

8==D.

Depends why you're doing it. If it's religiously like Ramadan or Yom Kippur, then you consume nothing -- no food, no water, not a goddamn thing for the fasting period. If you're fasting for a "cleanse" or for some fatloss protocol, then definitely drink water throughout. You can drink coffee as well, though I imagine adding too much cream and sugar would become counterproductive to the whole point of the fast.

Business idea #3:

Move to Portland and just make me döner kebabs every day.

Wouldn't Bob's Kebabs be better?

+ would be an ode to Bob's Burgers (since you specified hamburger).

No.

It fucking wouldn't.

Go open your own shop if you don't like the name.

Stop being the Steve Jobs to my Bill Gates.

I didn't think Kebab Bob existed in real life.

...it does.

[GREENFEATHER]

Not a fan of lamb. Beef kebabs made with maters, onions and peppers.

You are all recommended to come once in your lifetimes to a certain manifestation in Serbia, to learn a new meaning of the word meat. For references, use google.com and use words "Rostiljijada Leskovac" for both text and images. There is no such experience anywhere else.

Do not bring guns.

Pro-tip: the game has wicked live radios from all over Europe.

Check it out in the menu. The UK rock stations are so good.

I thought rockin' out to the CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd pandora stations would be more true to life.

You only had 7% dmg? Not bad, I was up to 30% in no time. Although driving over a vehicle, getting stuck and then backing off of him (causing him to roll over on his side) did amazingly minimal damage to my truck. That being said, rear ending 2 vehicles at a stop light added up quite a bit and caused my truck to stall.

That's why this is called a simulator, chuzzle. You're not supposed to go all Ice Road Truckers over here.

side-note: 18 tons of tomaters delivered, 0 damage, almost excellent parking job, only an hour past the beginning of the "expected delivery" timeframe

Fuk yeah.

You are terrible. I've been playing it but not on steam, I got 2 drivers working for me too.

The game runs like poop on my laptop and knew i wouldn't stick with it, so i ran into people for 10 minutes or so until I closed it.
