jah7_fsu1, plz post more.

FWIW, my own experiences with doing a dirty bulk diet were negative. I didn't add much more strength than I had on a clean diet, I gained more padding, and the only real positive was that I had no dietary restrictions. It's a lot easier rolling to McD's than preparing some food or eating chicken breasts and veggies every day.

However, I'm now a believer that a dirty bulk is only good for poor high school/college students who don't have the money or facilities to get healthy meals, or people who really have problems putting on weight (and I mean really, really have problems). What I've learned is that it's always good to practice self-control in all aspects of life, including diet. It pays off when you enter the maintenance phase of your diet and can only indulge sporatically.
