No. First time was due to a piece of steak. Second time due to chicken, which revealed a large blood clot and Schatzki ring. I've had numerous blockages in between those two emergency visits as well, but those I was able to force out or down on my own eventually. No incident involved gum -- always meat -- but it does make me cautious about it since I'd imagine gum would pose more problems if stuck.
Grape anything is good, but I try to avoid it with Bubble Tape since I have to fight the urge to eat my gum. I used to do that all the time, but after two (unrelated) endoscopies, I'm a bit more wary of swallowing gum anymore. Original Bubble Tape is good enough to enjoy but not delicious like the grape flavor is.
I've taken BASIC classes years ago but never really made the effort to learn it. Just wasn't interesting, and I hated having to number my lines all the time. C# seems fairly easy as far as the basic concepts and structure, but for whatever reason, I just hit a brick wall in the book I've been using. I've ordered another book to see if that helps explain it better, because I'm hesitant to move onward in my current book without fully grasping the lessons in order. Trying to stay ahead of the class I'm taking if I can help it.
Cotton Candy Bubble Yum, regular Bubble Tape, and a half dozen Blow Pops. Good stuff. All gone. :^)
I wrapped up Rayman Origins' achievements. Then I went out and bought lots of gum and candy. Then I ate it. Then I struggled trying to grasp C# constructor classes some more.

I miss Week in Comments.
Are you implying that this is not totally radical?
Katana Land
80 points
Prices are falling for games, so a simple but well thought out game such as Katana Land might struggle in this market. It's only $1, and you can beat it within an hour. You're a ninja, not a poet, and you go around doing all kinds of stuff. All kinds of stuff for 12 levels. Then it ends. It's fun while it lasts though and is worth playing.
I assume this won based upon the reaction it received:
I did another entry though, and rereading the "head replacement" intro, maybe it was the one picked:
I'm not seeing my entry in there, but I suppose it was considered in too bad tasted to be included in the gallery. Certainly wouldn't have been the first time. :p
MEGATRON: Ha ha ha ha ha!
I can see that being a MASK toy. It already kinda resembles the jet to helicopter bad guy vehicle.
How in the world did I miss out on Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL? Not many reviews on-line at all. The handful seem kinda bad, through the ones on Amazon itself are a bit better...
You denied Ashley her chance to see god? For shame. :p
Nope, I only played Hardcore for a second to grab the aiming achievement. You should be able to use the deed in your inventory to get him back with a whistle. Remember you don't have to do this all in one go, so take out a wolf or two, then escape. Dead animals can attract cougars in most territories, so if you're trying to stick around wiping out the pack in one go, you're putting yourself at risk.
If for some reason that doesn't work for you, you can use the hit-and-run stagecoach strategy where you do something then quickly hop on for safety which you'll likely be using for picking flowers in bear territories.
I wouldn't give up on it. If you blow through just the story missions -- if the game has been as easy for you as you say -- then you can complete the game in like four hours start to finish. I know, because the second run is an achievement. Aside from the arena, which is a huge grind, the game is rather friendly.
I'd just take a break from it then if I were you. The story doesn't start to kick in to where the pieces start falling into place during the second half, but if you're burned out on the game, you might be in a soured position to enjoy that, too. Then again, no game appeals to everyone, and you definitely have played further than most people who either seem to quit frustrated at the start or during Ch. 4 with that statue escort mission.
The knife challenges were the worst, but even they're not too bad. You can abuse staying on your horse if you have trouble with them.
You've likely not tackled the tough iron giant red hex challenge yet nor faced the tougher battles in the coliseum if you think it's the same strategy throughout. You're only halfway through the game. Right now I bet you're leaning on MG jump to break shields and then HG for the kill. That's not going to work all game, though, yes, you can do that to win most of the story battles. You'll see that when you hit Neverland for certain. I can see how people can look at it being repetitive though, since all game long you're basically doing the same thing -- running, jumping, and shooting stuff. There's no magical summoning visual or anything to give you a sense of progress as you would in a vanilla JRPG. Not to mention the braindead "enemy is ice! attack with fire!" level of complexity of most games.
Tinkering with your guns to get them to hit more, do more damage, and load faster contributes to the combat system's variety as well. It's a definite improvement over the typical min/max stuff in most all RPGs. "New sword earned! Equip new sword, since I received it later in the game and thus it must be more powerful!" Room is limited, and there is no best enhancement. You get to choose what you want to do. You have to choose, because there's no ultimate weapon or style of play. It's smart customization.
Revealing the world and linking bonuses is another part of the fun, a puzzle game within the RPG. The story is what it is. I liked it -- loved how it unfolded -- but it's not the best written plot. The characters on the other hand are terrific, easily the best I've seen in any game of this type barring maybe Yuri. Really good stuff.
I'd approve your pink comment so that it exists without having to respond to it directly, but it seems Gawker techs are busy paying taxes themselves.
Nope, not for the extended period of of time I've eaten at Taco Bell over the past two weeks, hitting up to three separate locations at a minimum of every two days. It was noticeable how quickly I went from getting boxes with my box meal to getting bags once the Vita contest hit. I've gone so far to call a couple of times to see if they had boxes, told yes, but see none when they get there. Since I always use the drive through, I'm always in a position where I'm stuck paying for something I don't want (since the 1st window takes the card) and just going through it all anyway after staying in line for that long and still being hungry. I just give up on it all.
