... Basically anything that makes you shit.
The only food I can count on to not do that is Subway; therefore, that's the only thing I can eat when on a roadtrip.
I will eat other stuff in the evening when I'm headed to the hotel.

False.  I ate once at a Subway in Gaylord Michigan.  After resuming my trip north on I-75, the ole bowels started rumblin'.  We were more than a few miles from the next rest area. ("Please, Jesus ... just ten more miles!").  :wow:  It was a long time before I ate at Subway again.

Sounds like my experience with Panda Express.

I love me some Panda Express. It's the best Americanized fake Chinese food on the market.

Let's just say, it has a reputation at the company I worked for.  It also lubricates your arteries.

So don't eat anything on a road trip. Or eat things you can't digest, then throw up.

One of my favorite road trip breakfasts is having one or two McDonalds sausage biscuits.  Usually easy to eat while driving, and not terribly messy.  Provided, of course, they don't serve you one that's been under the heat lamp for awhile.

I learned that lesson the hard way one morning on the Indiana Toll Road.  Got to the Mickey's at a service plaza about 9:55 (just before they stopped serving breakfast), got my biscuits and proceeded on my way.  Took a bite into one biscuit, and the entire thing blew apart in a big "POOF".  Pulled over at the next service plaza and cleaned out my car as best I could.  However, I was still finding parts of (now long stale) biscuit wedged into various nooks and crannies of the car (my 1988 Prelude) when I removed my radio gear prior to trading the car in years ago.

I know people who have done this and nobody really gives a shit. At least, not on the west side. Might be different closer in to campus or when alcohol is involved.

meh.  I suppose we're getting closer to a post-racial society when we have to worry about getting harassed over what color our clothes are.

I don't have any Texas Longhorns clothes (don't really care about football), but I have a shirt that is in their colors, and the only time I've as much as gotten a comment about it was a joke about it from another graduate student.

We have a dog who loves to eat cat food and cats who like dog food. I think they have some species identity crises going on.

How do McDonalds sausage biscuits become explosive under heat lamps? I could see dry or cold, but not chemically unstable.

When I was younger, a friend's dogs love eating cat feces from the litterbox.
