Love it. This quote has the fine coat of a Yale man.

Bejing/Peking is about which system of transliterating Chinese you prefer, pinyin or Wade-Giles. Not much political content there, so I'll say Bejing.

Burma/Myanmar is about going along with a fucked-up junta of authoritarian astrology fans, or not. Burma it is, until SLORC is dead and gone.

Bombay/Mumbai is about going along with Bal Thackeray, who despite the best name ever heads the Marathi racist Shiv Sena movement. Fuck them. Reverse-engineering an "original Marathi" name -- for a city that didn't exist before its development as a colonial entrepot -- doesn't do shit for shit.

1) I was hungover and went to Hardees a couple months back and got a Chili Cheese Burger with Chili Cheese Fries and a Coke (which I was convinced was probably more like a Chili Cheese slurry) I went back to my friends house and took a shit longer than a babies arm and bigger than a bread basket.

2) I once drunkenly announced my campaign for Sewer and Water Commisioner at a Minneapolis White Castle.

3) I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom. I'm crazy allow me to amaze thee. They say I'm ugly but it just don't faze me. I'm still gettin' in the girls' pants and I even got my own dance...

I don't know which makes me happier: to see this image, or to know that "the ORIGINAL, BIGGEST, BEST and MOST COMPLETE Bewitched and Elizabeth Montgomery web site on the net" is "always happy to help new Bewitched sites". I'm so goddamn sick of Bewitched sites that are derivative, small, mediocre, and less complete.

Derailin'!

People, forget about "Supersize Me". Anyone who knowingly overindulges in crap knows what they are in for. Instead go see "Fast Food Nation", and you will never eat McDonalds again! At least it's been about 2 years for me. And this from a guy who LOVES McGriddles.

Damn I could go for some whiteys about now...

The burger broiler (BK), the Super Chef and Fun Meal (Big Mac and Happy Meal). burger bar (Fuddruckers), and salad bar (Wendy's). They're now pretty much forgotten.

My dad was part owner of a Burger Chef in Northern Michigan many years ago; he actually dipped the first three burgers they made at the place in plastic for historic preservation. I always liked the burgers, but then again my palate wasn't very refined at that point in my life. My older brother got the idea that Burger Chef should serve an egg sandwich for breakfast, and my dad passed it along to the top brass -- they said no one would ever get breakfast at a fast food place. Five years later they were bankrupt and McDonalds was sellinf Egg McMuffins and ruling the world. Oh, well.
