Gluttony
I think I want to throw up.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Krispy Kreme Cheeseburger. No, I didn't eat this or find it locally.

There was an episode of "The Boondocks" where the Granddad opened a restaurant based on the same sandwich. He served them in bed because a coma was what guests would have for the dessert.

There's a little diner in New Haven- the Yankee Doodle. Popular campus dive. Annual burger eating contest and all that. And they have "donut" on the menu. Didn't think twice about it- til I saw someone order said donut. They take a glazed donut. Slice it in half. Slather it with BUTTER, and fry it on the grill.
Wow.

A movie I actually want to see
Ok - some of you may have heard of the recent stunt Sacha Baron Cohen pulled at the White House, in character as Borat ->http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=2006-09-29T124641Z_01_N28213372_RTRUKOC_0_US-LIFE-BORAT.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

Not only is this a brilliant bit of hype for his movie that he got out of this, but the title is absolutely great - "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."

Cohen is one of the best comedians out there right now, if you ask me. Ali G is hilarious. For once, I cannot wait for a movie to come out!

he his hilarious...even more hilarious when you are in the middle of a crowded movie theater lobby and your friend without thinking starts quoting one of his routines and singing about throwing certain ethnicities down the well ....at the top of her lungs of course
terry - 09/29/06 19:03
I heartily aagree! Borat is one of the funniest things I've seen in years...serious rollin on the floor gut-bustin laughs.

You remind me of-a my wife
Oh that's nice...
She dead.

Here is picture of my sister
We ahve great fun together...

And of course...
Throw the *** down the well...

Unbelievable!
I'm rarely shocked over news stories anymore, and frankly this is barely newsworthy, but extremely hilarious. Oprah pumps her own gas for the first time since 1983... which isn't too terribly surprising since a lot of megarich people don't pump their own gas. The kicker for me was who, as they say in the biz, showed her up!



Last night I had a "Honky Tonk BBQ Pork Burger" at Red Robin when we finally got near our hotel in Kansas City. I rarely eat burgers but I couldn't resist one with a name like that - damn you marketing people!

Gas here is so cheap that if NYers saw this they'd be filling every available container around the house. $2.04 per gallon - thats the "lazy bastard last minute on airport property" price so I wonder what it will be like 20 miles east of here.

When I lived in Rock Hill, SC in 1996 I actually saw gas and cigarettes, both for under one dollar. I believe gas was $0.75 out in the country.

To answer Paul
Paul every answer you ever wanted about the stylizing of our neighborhood to "Elmwood Village" can be read in the latest publication by Forever Elmwood. As far as I'm concerned its their fault. According to them, "Strip" connotates bars, misbehaving, and frankly just isn't affluent enough sounding for these people. "Village" is far more posh sounding, attracts idiotic suburbanite types and their money, and is a better word to convey a sense of community.

I suppose we have our own little community here, but the entire topic about what to call this area is FUCKING STUPID. We have bars, we have misbehaving, we have homeless that are like vultures - no amount of sugar coating that with a nice little name like "Elmwood Village" is going to change that. I suppose also that someone could argue that we are copycats and ripping off "Greenwich Village" but we aren't half as cool or as affluent as they are there.

Honestly, this is an attempt to make the area more friendly to people who have money to spend in the stores that line Elmwood and nothing more. Forever Elmwood is an organization dedicated to helping our independant businesses thrive here, and I have no problem with that... lets just drop the marketing ploy, can we please? Our area is what it is, and no amount of idiotic nomenclature is going to change the desire that people have to come down here, bump around and spend money. They are going to do it (or not) regardless of what you call the area.

I'll be sleeping in Kansas City tomorrow night - I really wish I didn't break Jay's camera (by mistake!) - we'll be going to a famous BBQ joint and you HAVE to see what these sandwiches look like. 3" thick stack of meat between two slices of freakin' Wonder Bread. And they serve Bud on tap... and BBQ is the only possible lure to get me to drink that stuff.
metalpeter - 09/25/06 19:25
If I remember correctly there is a store named the Elmwood village. It used to be on elmwood and then moved to Main St. but I have no idea if it is still open or not. I don't like the term becuase elmwood is a lot longer then just the part they refer to as the Village.
leetee - 09/25/06 08:57
You can always skip the Bud and go for a sweet souther ice tea. I hear that goes with BBQ quite well...

Scarlett is right!
I love Scarlett Johansson. No really, I do.

She has curves and she isn't ashamed of it. Hallelujah!

I'm a guy that likes curves on girls. I don't want some waif-like pathetic little chicken leg with no meat on it - I need a certified USDA choice curvy strip of love bacon. That is why I admire Scarlett for addressing her curvy nature in the way she does. Flaunt it, baby.

Seriously. In high school my friends used to say that I had a mystery element floating in my blood called "bigbootium." Fuck it, they were right and they still are. The truth is that I love all kinds of women... but its all about proportion. And Scarlett is PROPORTIONED. I think its so great that she is accepting of herself and doesn't really care that she isn't going to fit into some Hollywood mold when it comes to her looks. You've got a chest, big hips and a round ass? Do like Lil' Jon says.

A tribute to the women with curves!
ladycroft - 09/20/06 11:30
I've got boobs, curves and booty - so I'm taking that compliment and runnin' with it. Thanks!
metalpeter - 09/19/06 18:43
I think she is amazing my self. Is it just me or does she look like a bigger version of Charlize Theron (or how have you spell it) who I think is amazing but is bulit the opposite body type of her. Everbody has there own standard of beauty but I think even those who arn't into her body type would still have to admit she looks preaty good.
jenks - 09/18/06 21:35
Glad to hear it josh, but just to play devil's advocate-
Is there anyone that does NOT think she has a nice body? I've never heard her called "fat"... But then again, I'm way out of the loop on celebrity gossip.
jason - 09/18/06 20:47
She says she can "get things done in the Oval Office." HAW HAW! I bet!
