I would like to announce an adjustment of the rules, friends. Previously, many West Coasters have been left out of this lunch-judgment enterprise, since they haven't, in fact, even eaten lunch yet. As such, I'll allow them to submit yesterday's lunch for review.

Anyway! If you've new here, this is what happens: y'all leave a comment below that describes your lunch. I will then rate it from 1 to 10, and try my best to explain my decision. Know that I am not out to shame or insult anyone, but ALSO KNOW that I will not hesitate to call your crummy lunch a crummy lunch. So if your lunch was made by your mother, you may want to ask yourself whether you are emotionally equipped in the event of a dismal score.

One final note: today is the birthday of Progressive Boink's own Kyle Daly! He's probably slumped behind a Circle-K as we speak, taking alternate sips from a Mad Dog 20/20 and a bottle of Hunt's ketchup, but one would assume he'll wander back at some point to see your well-wishes.

THE HOUR OF LUNCH JUDGMENT HAS ARRIVED. As usual, I will eventually have to throw in the towel to do Actual Work at my Actual Job, but I will try to rate as many lunches as I can.
