Breakfast for Dinner

If you have breakfast for dinner...is it still breakfast?

Ill make an argument out of it

P1:  People get out of bed at 2pm, have a bowl of cereal and call it breakfast, even though it is technically not 'morning'
P2:  Pancakes are a socially accepted breakfast food that can be eaten at any time of the day
P3:  I like waffles

C:  'Breakfast' in America has become a social term used to describe the type of food eaten, regardless of the time of day it is enjoyed.

Tara Reid - not the most reliable source under any circumstances

P1:  The Big Lebowski is a comic masterpiece that is endlessly quotable and remixable
P2:  The sucess, and near perfection, of this movie argues strongly against making a sequel
P3:  For the rest of time, if you wanted to talk about the '98 "Lebowski", youd have to say something like 'in the first movie' or 'in the origional'

C:  Making a sequel to "The Big Lebowski" is a terrable idea

The fallacies of an 'argument'

I got this editorial out of the friday, september 16th edition of The Berkshire Eagle.

Its title is "Tougher ordinance on skateboards"

The Pittsfield ordinance banning skateboards and bikes from sidewalks not only must be enforced it must be toughened.  This is a significant problem that could prevent the city's downtown from fully achieving its potential, and it is a problem that will be eased by not solved with the construction of a skatepark.

It is completely obvious to me that this article is not an argument because it contains only claims unsupported by any premises.

C1:  The ordinance banning skateboards and bikes from sidewalks not only must be enforced, but toughened.

C2:  This significant problem could prevent the city's downtown form fully achieving its potential.

C3:  This problem with be eased, but not solved by the construction of a skatepark.

Hey, my name is josh and I am a self-proclaimed professional pumpkin carver. 

Dont take my word on it - hes some proof:

Now, you're probably thinking 'this guys favorite holiday is probably halloween'.  Well...youd be wrong.  In fact, my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.

Food is one thing thats important to me, can you cook? You ladies should know that its the quickest way to a mans heart.

As far as favorite drinks go, im a Caribou Lou kind of guy, even though ive never actually tried it.

But what about technology?  Is that important?
-I love videogames, actually used to be completely addicted to a mmorpg called Tibia, even though wow is bigger, both in graphics quality and in actual players
-My first computer was a windows '95 which is practically not worth mentioning
-I have to be really bored to watch tv

Im a pretty easy going guy.
