This one didn't last to the bitter end.

I do like green beans and have no problem eating them.

I was going to pick cheese, but since green is my favorite color...

I thought the correct answer would be a "basic" food, unlike Chicken Pot Pie which may contain many ingredients, and definitely not Tacos, which usually contain cheese and tomatoes smile

Continuing the food theme...

I also used to be a picky eater, but am much more willing to try weird food now. And I eat lots and lots of veggies.

Which of these foods have I not tried?

a) Crocodile meat
b) Balut (boiled fertilized duck egg containing a partially developed embryo)
c) Bitter gourd (ampalaya)
d) Volcanic black eggs
e) Shark meat
f) Jellyfish
g) Dog meat
h) Kangaroo
i) Silk worm
j) Sea cucumber

Wow! You know me too well. I've never tried dog meat before (that I know of, anyway!)

The volcanic eggs were from Hakone, Japan.

Kangaroo and crocodile meat were in Australia.

SIlk worms in China.

Shark meat and Balut here in the Philippines; ditto sea cucumber and jellyfish (Chinese-style food).

Hmph! What are you doing talking to doctors in the sauna? mad tongue

And I can't guess because I know exactly what the right answer is!

Oh, he offered free consultation. wink

C is true. I even wrote a letter explaining my intention to withdraw from the contract. Apparently, pre-termination isn't allowed so I'm locked in for a year.

B is true. It took them 1 month to produce my membership card!

Xben has it. Due to a 2-month gym hiatus, my maximum weight now was my minimum a year ago.

Well, good on ya, Blaze, for the improvement.

Years ago, I gave in to temptation and bought an issue of the "Epi-Log" from the comic shop. This was a magazine that featured episode guides of TV shows. This issue featured two long-running police shows from the 1970's and 1980's that I used to watch (including a full page color photo of each on one of the covers).

What were the two shows?

(actually, as I double check, turns out one of the shows was also on in the 1960's)

Neither correct, although you've picked two shows that started roughly at the same times as the correct shows. Both of the correct shows ran for longer than the same-time-period ones that you guessed.

The Older Show (that started in the 1960's) has been guessed correctly.

The newer show has not. It is definitely a police show, not a private investigator one (like Charlie's Angels). It debuted the same year as Cagney & Lacey and was part of, I think, the overall same trend in TV.

What do you think about the new Hawaii 5-0 series, Xben?

Pugad Baboy is a comic strip about a community of obese people in Manila. Its popularity comes not from that, though - it's a pretty incisive and hilarious commentary on life in the Philippines (pop culture, the government, social issues, and a sprinkling of adventure and action).

Oh, and their mascot is an intelligent talking dog who drinks beer.

Which of these storylines have I not read?

1) 2078 - the Pugad Baboy residents are mysteriously transported to 2078, and see a Philippines that is quite different from the present day
2) The Malunggay Conflict - two neighbors go to war over a malunggay tree on the border of their properties. Somewhat of a satire on the Gulf War.
3) Ang Hiwaga ng Duenas - The Pugad Baboy residents visit the province of Iloilo, where they are attacked by various mystical creatures who want to eat them
4) Maidnappers - the Pugad Baboy residents must deal with the kidnapping of two of their maids - and one of them has a terribly sarcastic wit which can drive the most peaceful of men to violence!
5) Pirata - the talking dog Polgas befriends a Muslim pirate and breaks up a pirate ring
6) Oplan Paglalanse - a gang of vigilantes foils the money-making plans of the corrupt local police district
7) Col. Manyakis - a philandering soldier has the tables turned on him when his immediate superior turns out to have the hots for him!
8) James Bab - the local good-for-nothing finds himself in a world of trouble when he signs up to train as a secret agent
9) The Olongapo Caper - a fun vacation in Subic turns into a mission to rescue the captives of a human trafficking ring
10) Benigno Ramos: Bounty Hunter - what is an ex-con bounty hunter to do when his employers turn out to be hunting him too?

Nope, I read that one. It's pretty hilarious - they take out the monsters with garlic pizza, and the true mastermind is revealed to be Lucifer, who is a screaming queen and prefers to be addressed as Lady Lucy.
