Funny you mentioned that. Steph and the other managers at her work are going to lunch at the Mpls melting pot this week. Thats all shes been talking about.
my experience with those buncha courses meals places.... usually ends up being that they'll put a piece of meat about the size of a really small chicken nugget on a fancy lookin plate, and pretty it up with some parsely, and some kinda sauce....and everything that comes after that is about the same size, or smaller....
quite possibly! I think the reason I am so in love with the melting pot is the novelity of cooking your own food at your table and having all these fun *activities*. I hate stuffy restaurants, I want to be there, laughing having a good time, but I also want really good savory flavors and they have both.
I think my second favorite place is Sonic Buger - for their texas toast grilled cheese sands and Strawberry Limeades.
thats one reason, why I like trips to different cities/states/places.... cause some of them have restaurants we dont have here...
I like sticking it to my cousin down in Texas, that we have White Castle and he doesnt....
a couple years ago, just to be nice, (or mean....take your pick) me and my sister bought a crave case (its basically a giant box, that fits 30 white castles in it), and after all the burgers were consumed, we put the empty boxes back inside the crave case, and mailed it to him as a x-mas present. :cool:
He called like a week later, talking about how he got some christmasy wrapped box in the mail, that smelled like a sack of fried onions..... hahaha
yeah - ya'll suck. I don't have white castle out here either. You have Green Mill too. I have to drive 4 hours to Reno if I want Taco Johns. The closet sonic right now is 3 hours away. (the are building one 3 exits before my boyfriends house up in Sac tho. I am SOOO excited)
but I have In and Out burger, Fat Burger, Mountain Mikes, Carl's Junior
best of all Not only do I have taco trucks on just about every other street corner - I have mexican Ice Cream men who peddle bikes with trailers behind them full of snacks such as fresh mangos, Corn on the Cob covered in Mayo and salt (haven't tried that one yet)
and drum roll.. chicharone's (fresh fried pork rinds or they have the wheat alternative ones) dripping in fresh chili sauce, lime juice and salt.
oh and little old ladies on the corner with the homemade fresh tamales and pozole!
(the above is the #1 reason I live in the hood) great food!!
when we were in vegas in august, tc drooled over carl's junior; she hadn't had one in about 12 years. alas, we didn't make it to one while we were there, but hey that gives us a reason to go back (as if you need a reason to go to vegas).
and for those who are local, carl's jr.'s logo looked real familiar to me. turns out they and hardees have the same parent company.
Carl's Junior out here used to be called Happy Star and yeah - they are like a Hardee's kinda.
But do you guys have Six Dollar Guacamole Bacon Cheese burgers with Santa Fe Sauce on them there?
I get that with extra Santa Fe Sauce and a side of criss cut fries - flip open the burger and scrape all the saucy goodness on to the fries and then I am in triple heaven.
Nick, you get a good meal. Last time I ate there, I had a salad, soup, a steak that was served over a plate of mashed potatoes with blue cheese in the mashed potatoes and dessert. For 15 bucks. The time before I had barbecued alligator.
the krispy krack by my house just closed - they are blaming the low carb diet.
oh yeah - IHOP is everywhere. Del Taco is all over up by my Boy's house. None down by me. I have a Jack in the Crack on the corner a block down from my house.
and I love the green sauce at TJ's - mmmm. Taternacho's.
Differences Between Mass Murderers and Serial Killers
In both mass and serial murder cases, victims die as the offender momentarily gains control of his or her life by controlling others. But the differences between these two types of offenders far outweigh the similarities. First, mass murderers are generally apprehended or killed by police, commit suicide, or turn themselves in to authorities. Serial killers, by contrast, usually make special efforts to elude detection. Indeed, they may continue to kill for weeks, months, and often years before they are found and stopped-if they are found at all. In the case of the California Zodiac killer, the homicides appeared to have stopped, but an offender was never apprehended for those crimes. Perhaps the offender was incarcerated for only one murder and never linked to the others, or perhaps he or she was imprisoned for other crimes. Or the Zodiac killer may have just decided to stop killing or to move to a new location and kill under a new modus operandi, or method of committing the crime. The killer may even have become immobilized because of an accident or an illness or have died without his or her story ever being told. Speculation currently exists that the Zodiac killer is stalking victims in the New York City area. The Zodiac case is only one example of unsolved serial murders, many of which will never be solved.
Second, although both types of killers evoke fear and anxiety in the community, the reaction to a mass murder will be much more focused and locally limited than that to serial killing. People generally perceive the mass killer as one suffering from mental illnesses. This immediately creates a "they"/"us" dichotomy in which "they" are different from "us" because of mental problems. We can somehow accept the fact that a few people go "crazy" sometimes and start shooting others. However, it is more disconcerting to learn that some of the "nicest" people one meets lead a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde life: a student by day, a killer of coeds by night; a caring, attentive nurse who secretly murders sick children, the handicapped, or the elderly; a building contractor and politician who enjoys sexually torturing and killing young men and burying them under his home. When we discover that people exist who are not considered to be insane or crazy but who enjoy killing others for "recreation," this indeed gives new meaning to the word "stranger." Although the mass murderer is viewed as a deranged soul, a product of a stressful environment who is just going to "explode" now and then (but of course somewhere else), the serial murder is seen as much more sinister and is more capable of producing fear.
Third, the mass murderer kills groups of people at once, whereas the serial killer individualizes his or her murders. The serial killer continues to hurt and murder victims, whereas the mass murderer makes his or her "final statement" in or about life through the medium of abrupt and final violence. We rarely if ever hear of a mass murderer who has the opportunity to enact a second mass murder or to become a serial killer. Similarly, we rarely if ever hear of a serial killer who also enacts a mass murder.
The mass murderer and the serial killer are quantitatively and qualitatively different, and disagreement continues about their characteristics just as it does about the types of mass and serial offenders that appear to have emerged in recent years. Perhaps the single most critical stumbling block that today stands in the way of understanding serial murder is the disagreement among researchers and law enforcement about how to define the phenomenon.
mmm melting pot!!! it's a fondue restaurant! and it is THE BEST!!!
there is one in Mineapolis anyone ever go?
The Melting Pot
Indianapolis -4!
but, ive only been there once...
Steph - Get the Coq au Vin for the seasoning for the main course - it is THE BEST!!!
I think it's my favorite restaurant of all time, and I am the biggest foodie!!!
I cant do that.... pick a favorite....
I like too many, and dont want to hurt their feelings....
that actually feels good
Is that one of those places?
I think my second favorite place is Sonic Buger - for their texas toast grilled cheese sands and Strawberry Limeades.
Doing the $15 thing would be a lot of fun tho, and you don't feel like you just emptied your wallet for the weight of food in a happy meal.

I called that bluff, right away, when I saw the star guy..... "dude.. thats not carl's jr! thats Hardee's!"
also tried jack in the box.... that place is weird.... they have taco restaurant stuff on the menu, AND burger place stuff.....
give nick a headache why dont you?
stopped at a Del Taco.....I think the last one of those, ive seen around here was at maplewood mall.....but that was when I was like 6....
you're right though... nobody has anything over Taco Johns....
just dont ask for the green sauce.....your mouth wont like you anymore, if you burn it that bad...
also... we ate at IHOP, as well as Krispy Kreme... well before they were even thinking about coming here....
enough food.... its well past lunchtime...
I get it every year at the state fair, from that place by the grandstand building....
oh yeah - IHOP is everywhere. Del Taco is all over up by my Boy's house. None down by me. I have a Jack in the Crack on the corner a block down from my house.

Also, Jigsaw never killed anyone. He always found ways for you to kill yourself or for you to have to kill others so you could live.

I haven't seen the Zombie movies so I can't comment.
Jigsaw never killed anyone
Indirectly he did. If tried, I'm pretty sure he'd be convicted of murder.
Murderers should be dealt with swiftly :smile:
How was Saw?
Oh and I love Rob Zombie. I hope his second flick is as good as his first. It's out today right?
