The people on Hell's Kitchen amaze me with their ineptitude - although without Matt the red team did really well.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Sometimes I have to ask if any of these people have ever seen the show. Inevitably, at least one team has problems (i.e., loses challenges again and again) because they're all playing their egos. People! learn from others' mistakes!

The best example of that is when someone, inevitably, tries to put their biggest threat up for elimination, instead of the weakest player. It's like, have you not watched the show? Do you not know that Ramsey is totally going to override you and this will only make you look like a tool?

Compassionately intolerant

Well, I can't think of many more appropriate places for attitude and game playing than within visual distance of the US Capitol building.

I'll keep you posted as soon as I can get someone to eat and report on a burger!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apparently the 13 pages for a 600 word post is for advertising dollars.

But there has to be a better way.

There HAS to be.

A co-worker of mine who is a marathon runner.

Very cool!!!

I have wanted to apply forever. I figure I have little chance of getting picked but at least I will have tried.

And it's all thanks to ND, who provided us with a VCR to make the DVD-VHS transfer of our application video (if you can believe it, they only accept submissions on VHS).
