They're not 'The Tap" but "it's a damn tasty burger!"

Lots of burger places come and go but this one I hope stays

Five Guys, Burgers and Fries.



Was in the St.Cloud one today and not only did I walk out with a TASTY burger and a "bag-o-fries",
I got a little entertainment. The folks working were having such a good time- they were siging along with Devo's "whip it" as it played on the radio.

Fabulous burger- Fun place!

Check one out- good times!

something for your Noggin to chew on-

saw this on a friends FB page- thanks Jennifer!

the quote that goes with the pic is: If Muslim Terrorists attack us and you hate Muslims, you're focusing on the wrong word.

Really- should it bug me

Checking out at Cub and was getting some chicken for lunch.

The cashier held my chicken up to his face, took a big ol' sniff and said- "mmm smells great, I'm ready for lunch too!"

I'm sure he was trying to be friendly but- he said it like the Nazi Jew-hunter from Inglorious Basterds.

It was kinda creepy and bugged me.

Should it have???

Wal-Mart is a truly amazing place where you can buy just about anything a human could possibly need at just about any hour of the day.





So overcome are some parents when they walk into America's superstore that they seem to completely forget that they have entered these most hallowed aisles with child.



Straight from the new book "People of Walmart: Shop amp; Awe," which is brought to you by the same folks who run the meme Web site People of Walmart, we present our favorite Wal-Mart parenting fails.

Yep- I like Steel Magnolias





Does the fact that I not only like watching Steel Magnolias- BUT can also recite lines from memory- mean I have to turn in my man card?

If so- well- guess I'll need to book a manny/ petty for Friday.

Once- I almost took two whoppers and walked! MUST READ!

I know everyone know knows about Steven Slater- "took two beers and Jumped!"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/11/steven-slater-jet-blue-fl_n_676139.html

Well- I do not blame this Starbucks employee for kicking this woman out the other day after refusing to respond to simple questions to clarify her order

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/16/columbia-professor-kicked_n_683159.html

She ordered a toasted mulit-grain bagel- she was asked if she wanted butter or cream cheese on it and got huffy- called the employee and A-hole and then yelled at staff till the Manager called the cops.

Starbucks staffer- I feel your pain.  I too was once the victim of a this type of crazy person.

True Story-

back in the day during college - I was a swing shift manager at a Burger King. enjoyed this job mostly except on days like this.

One slow late afternoon-the drive thru beeped and I greeted the person and they proceeded to order- "1 coke, 1 diet coke, and a hamburger with onions."  Since in the past I have had issues with folks not recalling that BK hamburgers come with ketchup/mustard and pickle by default- I asked a clarifing question.
I said- "got the coke and diet coke- on the hamburger- do you want ONLY onions or onions in addition to the ketchup/mustard and pickle?"

I did not receive a plesant response- I got a man SCREAMING HIS ORDER EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!  I did not let this phase me- I simply and very politely asked the question again but first saying- "Sorry sir- I just want to make sure the order is correct and maybe you did not hear me, the speaker can be garbled sometimes." then I asked the above clarifing question again.

He AGAIN- SCREAMED HIS ORDER THE SAME WAY.  I then decided- this needs to be handled face to face- gave him a total and asked him to pull up to the window.

He got to the window and I - very calmly, which if you know me, was hard!- said to him- " sorry sir maybe the speaker was malfunctioning but I am simply wanting to be sure we have your order correct so you get what you want..." then asked the clarifiing Q a third time.

Did I get a useful answer- HELL TO THE NO!  He proceeded to threaten to pull me through the window- kick my ass and kick my teeth-in, then was going to ask to meet my manager outside and do the same to him.  I was also called numerous words that the only repeatable ones are stupid and fat.

After a few minutes of this- I said to him, "Sir you must be having a bad day and for that I am sorry but I am now asking you to leave. try and have a nice day."  He started to pull away and I vented- thinking he couldn't hear me and screamed an expletive.

HE HEARD ME!  Then backed up to the window again and proceed with more verbal abuse and physical threats. the Funny part is- I am 6' 2''/300+ lbs and he is about 5' 8''/ 150lbs wet.

After this round I again asked him to leave or I will phone police to arrest him.  He screamed and left.

I told my manager all about it the next morning- even admitting I lost my cool and swore at the guy but only after the first round of abuse and threats.  He understood and appreciated my honesty and considered the issue closed.

UNTIL-

The next morning- I was called over for a chat with my manager. Turns out this guy did not call him or our regional manager- he called Burger King coproate in Miami, Florida!

He got the CEO's assistant- who told him the CEO was in Japan. This guy wanted to call him in JAPAN!
Well,  she knew he was nuts-so she gave him to the head of PR- Who also determined he was nuts and then called my boss and told him the story. He let her know that he knew- since I told him right away- and both agreed the guy was nuts and I was justified for losing my cool with this WACKO!

I do not know what happened to that guy but WOW he needed to "take to beers and jump"...in a LAKE!

Funny but- they should be getting some work done.

Check out: "Sega Workers Pull Off Epic 'Sonic the Hedgehog' Office Prank" - www.asylum.com

http://www.asylum.com/2010/08/12/sega-workers-pull-off-epic-sonic-the-hedgehog-office-prank/?icid=asylum-iphone-url


Ah, the office prank. Glue your colleague's stapler to his desk. Turn his speakers up to full blast when he's not looking and then wait for him to go to a website with volume.



But what if you were afforded the opportunity to pull off a more elaborate stealth cubicle incursion?



The folks in this video had a colleague who went away for a three-week vacation. When he returned, his work space was transformed into a 16-bit world in which an extraordinarily athletic anthropomorphic hedgehog will stop at nothing in his quest to accumulate rings.



Read on to check it out, and enjoy the classic video game music. (via Urlesque)

What a difference 100 years makes!

Got this from "The Folks" the other day- some very shocking facts.

1910 Ford Model R




THE YEAR IS 1910


This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!

************ ********* ***********

One hundred years ago.

What a difference a century makes!

Here are some statistics for the Year 1910:

************ ********* ************

The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.

Fuel for this car( pictured above) was sold in drug stores only.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower !

The average US wage in 1910 was 22 cents per hour.

The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year ..

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,

A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .

Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!

Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which

Were condemned in the press AND the government as 'substandard.'

Sugar cost four cents a pound.

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write and

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school..

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores.

Back then pharmacists said, 'Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,

Regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health'

( Shocking? DUH! )

Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help ....

There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !

Where can I get a good deal on "just for men"?





The "goat" has caught the grays.

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Yep- people do everything with their iPhones

#9 on the bizarre list sticks out for me. 
Seriously- that's a slow process- why was your iPhone sitting next to thawing meat so long?

Check out: "'I Accidentally Buried It in My Garden' -- Ludicrous iPhone Insurance Claims" - www.asylum.com

http://www.asylum.com/2010/08/05/ludicrous-apple-iphone-insurance-claims/?icid=asylum-iphone-url


It is no secret people love their iPhones. They especially like taking them everywhere and whipping them out constantly, which is probably why so many end up being damaged in bizarre ways.



After noticing that one in five iPhone users have filed a claim for damage to their smart phone during the past 12 months, an insurance firm decided to compile lists of the most frequent and bizarre filings.



Topping the odd-claims list are two cases of plummeting iPhones (suggesting Apple should think about installing a mini-parachute in its next model). One was accidentally dropped from a hot air balloon and another was 'lost" while sky diving.



Also on the list are iPhones that were broken while being used as a table tennis racket, buried on the beach or in the garden, fell into a boiling tea kettle or chewed by a hungry dog.



The altogether-more-mundane list of the most common iPhone claims, from Protect Your Bubble, includes the handset being pinched while texting, falling off a car roof and being dropped into a toilet. (We've all been there.)



As for the guy who claimed he slipped and dropped his shiny new iPhone into a blender, you don't think it was this guy, do you?



Keep reading for the complete lists.
Top 10 Most Bizarre iPhone Claims

1. I dropped it from a hot air balloon

2. I lost it while sky diving

3. It broke when my son used it as a table-tennis racket

4. I lost it while building a sand castle for the kids

5. I accidentally buried it in the garden

6. It fell into the kettle

7. I dropped it in a food blender

8. My dog mistook it for his favorite toy and chewed it to pieces

9. Juice from a defrosting piece of meat leaked into it

10. It flew out of the car window



Top 10 Most Common iPhone Claims


1. Cracked screen

2. Stolen while texting

3. Couldn't hear the other person when making a call

4. Leaving phone on the car roof so it falls off when driving

5. Pet knocked the phone off a surface

6. Stolen from handbag

7. Internet connection completely broken

8. iPhone doesn't charge

9. Dropped in the bath/toilet

10. Screen freezes
