Anyone for Munce Burgers or Synthi-Sausage?

I really hope this takes off. I would very much appreciate a guilt-free burger.

I'm writing this on my Search/Destroy Agency warrant meter (or at least something that looks just like).

If my aged memory serves me right, isn't there something like this in Judge Dredd?

That shot of 'Friends drinking shots at a bar' is one of the reasons I don't go to pubs anymore.
Look at them. Christ.
And synthi-alcohol that does away with hangovers? I disapprove. I disapprove most strongly.
My one consolation when I'm woken in the small hours by homebound revellers is that they'll feel like death in the morning.
Besides, if I had to deal with hangovers in my day, then everyone should have to deal with hangovers.

Wondering if they can also walk through walls

They're planning the first iso-block in New York.

Peach Trees by any other name?

My grud, it looks like a fecking nightmare.  I'm two and a half kilometres from the nearest shop where I live but I'll take inconvenience and sanity every time.
