Get to Know Your Fellow Canes Fans - PART II

[drganon]

If my eyesight gets worse when I age, I might end up blind.

I'm pretty much legally blind without my glasses already. Every time I go to the eye doctor, my prescription only gets worse.

hi

do you mind if i have a sip of your delicious beverage to wash down my overpriced, north carolina, hipster cheese burger with?

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Do you know what they call an overpriced, North Carolina hipster cheese burger in New York?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i guess the rongos bandwagon must have went really well despite the unfortunate early end

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Do you know what they call an overpriced, North Carolina hipster cheese burger in New York?

Cheddar Style.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Cheddar Style.

how is two bucks for a small one overpriced? hell even the huge one is barely four

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Please share your delicacies

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Please share your delicacies

this delicacy ranges in price from 2 something to 4 something depending how big you get it:

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

I want all of those right now

 

[BrindAmours Army]

Please share your delicacies

Cookout Menu

That would be the fast food restaurant of choice in the state.

Probably best known for our barbecue, of which there are two main varieties. Also, Cheerwine.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

That menu looks like heaven. If I visit I'm definitely going there. Sounds like the food game is really on point.. I'll have to buy a game ticket and visit in the winter time.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Despite its name and how delicious it is, Cheerwine doesn't actually have alcohol in it though, so bring vodka.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

That menu looks like heaven. If I visit I'm definitely going there. Sounds like the food game is really on point.. I'll have to buy a game ticket and visit in the winter time.

tickets will probably be very cheap by then on stubhub
