		<title>Bryan&#8217;s Restaurant Classification System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Taken From Bryan Lambert.  Reprinted here primarily because I like referring to it, but not having to re-find it on the message board.  Also because I keep meaning to revise it for my own analysis purposes.

LEVEL ONE FAST: McDonalds, BK, Bell, KFC&#8230; the standbys. Cheap. Greasy. Traditional.

		<title>Your Argfest 2008 Wardrobe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a side note, a lot of people had been asking/inquiring about my t-shirts.  Most of me t-shirts come from <a href="http://threadless.com/?from=vortech">threadless</a>, an online design competition where people can submit designs to be judged by the community and possibly printed.  They feed my need for ironic and bear-related clothing quite well.  I saw no fewer than 5 other <a href="http://threadless.com/?from=vortech">threadless</a> shirts so it seems popular in the ARG community.  Still if you don't know it and I said I'd get you the link, or you were curious here they are:  (And they are on sale right now)
