Food Network is for Obsessive Idiot Losers!

The utterly STUPID way he pronounces “mozzarella”, and the typical Gordon Ramsey quotes by Cartman are so typical of stupid Food network shows. Food network shows are for lifeless idiots with delusions of grandeur. Everybody watches an hour of the food network then comes away thinking they’re some god damned culinary artist. Its just plain stupid.

They wont let you embed the actual video of the beginning of Randy Marsh’s Food Network show Cafeteria Fraiche, but you can watch it from this link here:

Highly recommended. Trey Parker is A GENIUS!

Everybody Pooooops! Sommmmmetiiiiiiiimes… (SIC of R.E.M.)

NOTE:  Nursey people (like Liz or Kay), any medical advice you may have is definitely welcome as (like most) I’m an American with no health insurance, and it’s too damned cold now to stand outside the clinic in a line with the homeless and unwed/raped mothers at 7AM with a fever.  And if this grosses anyone out, I’m sorry, but the revenge note at the bottom was fun and the chart gave me a laugh because Type 1 looks like bunny poop! (Also, I THINK Bristol has nothing to do with Bristol Palin… OR DOES IT?)

If you have had a meal at the Wendy’s located here, you may need this helpful chart below.  I have been suffering from my visit last Friday and it has been very painful.  I’ve lost my appetite, and been feverish for 5 days now.

Seems Type 7 is my fate.  I’ll let you know when my kidneys and liver fail (unless my unpaid cell phone dies first!)  HA!

Here’s the message I left on their website:

I ordered a double with cheese, hold the lettuce tomato and onion medium sized meal. (I incorrectly received a double without cheese), and an order of Asian chicken wings.

Upon my return home about an hour or two later I exhibited a high fever. I have had diarrhea for 5 days now. You need to check the cleanliness of your restaurant, the food handlers, or the quality of your food before you kill someone. This is not the first time I have been made ill by this particular Wendy’s. Clean your surfaces or wash your hands.

Partly Rainy Snowy Sleety TRENCHY DRILLY JACKHAMMERY

Yesterday, an army of PGW (Philadelphia Gas Works) and policemen told me to move my car as they were investigating a gas leak on my block.   I moved my car to the other side of the street.  Suddenly a platoon of media trucks showed up.  I couldn’t help but think this had something to do with the big gas pipe explosion that happened last week here in Philly (killing 1 guy).  The police chased them off (thankfully)!

This all started Tuesday, Jan. 25 around 2 PM.  They have been jackhammering and drilling my street (which has been closed) since (even at 3AM).  There are now 4 huge trenches in my street and the sidewalks are all tore up.  Add to this joy, it’s trash day tomorrow, the street is still closed and we’re expecting 10 inches of snow (at most).

Sing it with me, “PHIL-A-DEL-PHI-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Behold! The soupy shit that is our weather and Trench Number 1 of 4. Click it for a biggy!

It will be very interesting to see what garbage day will hold for us tomorrow when the street is closed and 10 inches of snow is already on the ground.  Place your bets people!!!  (This is better than Parx casino – you don’t even have to leave your kid in the car!)

Zodiac Schmodiac!

I think a bunch of people in funny clothes, with funny hairdos, who don’t know the slightest thing about soap just decided to get more attention.

Apparently some unwashed dork thought it’d be cool to add another sign to the zodiac. The new one is called “Ophiuchus”, like leo the lion or cancer the crab, this is probably like some stupid space-turnip. Here’s the article so you can pretend it has ANY affect on your life whatsoever.

Apparently leo’s and virgo’s are the only ones this works on. Will is now a Leo. My Mom is a Leo.

Whoop dee dang doodlee doo!

(The only significance is that someone close to me had to call me excited and tell me about it! Hahahaha!)

Chicago is Freakin Cold!!! EEEK!

Spent the first time in my life actually IN Chicago for a few days thanks to Will and Spamalot.

Stayed at the Comfort Inn & Suites on E. Ohio St. in Chicago.

Not a bad hotel but had a totally USELESS couch in the living room.  It was like a small broken fold out bed love seat thing.  The cushions didn’t even match the couch.  It was like dumpster reject furniture.  Word of advice for this hotel:

Look, you are a hotel in a very VERY cold city.  People sometimes just want to stay in the room instead of go out into the “balmy” 10 degrees you got flyin around your streets.  This means your TV’s/Internet will be used and so will the couch!  If the couch sucks, don’t synthesize a passable one from other broken couches… THROW THE DAMN THING OUT!

This obviously didn’t occur to them because you couldn’t sit on the couch for longer than 5 minutes without severe back pain or a wedgie!

Other than the couch, the hotel was pretty nice.  Beds were clean and comfortable and bathroom was clean and shower had great pressure.  The view from the room was pretty cool too!

Had a great visit to the skydeck at the Willis Tower (the former Sears Tower).  It was 103 stories up.  (And NO, the skydeck was not “calling to me” as the stupid website would say.  I just like tall buildings.  (Stupid marketing copyrighting dorks!!))  The elevator ride was wobbly and scary.  The view was incredible.  I took a few pictures and tried to make a “connecto picture” like I did in Atlantic City. This is out the north east side of the Willis/Sears tower overlooking the city with hancock tower (black tower), trump tower (silver tower), and lake michigan (big blue body of water!)

Also did the thing at the tower where you can walk out on the glass box and look straight down.  It’s really creepy.  I found looking up at the very top edge of the building to be the most dizzying.  Looking down at your shoes was pretty common:

Looking out the side of the glass box to the OTHER glass box made ya kinda queezy.  Seeing the city from 103 stories up BEHIND other people floating on the side of the building was pretty sick!

In summary, had a great time.  It was REALLY nice to see/spend time with Will.  He made all sorts of fun arrangements so we could get around and see as much as we could despite the cold weather.  (MY GOD PEOPLE, IT’S THE COLDEST PLACE I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE!  I DON’T SEE HOW PEOPLE LIVE THERE!)

I must say, the ride to and from Chicago was really fun!  I took 476 north from Philly then I-80 all the way across.  Witnessed some very beautiful mountains and very bizarre weather patterns.  My car looks like a salt lick right now (real pretty on a black car).  It was an 800 mile commute one way.  Took a perfect 12 hours each way.  Not bad!  Had to fill my tank 3 times each way.

Indiana still has the best turnpike with the 70 mph speed limit but their self serve “insert dollar into the sucker” tool booths suck.

Stupid Toll Booths

Ohio still smells funny and takes forever to drive through.

Stinky Ohio

And I still wasn’t “welcomed” by a sign or anything into Illinois!

NO! You are NOT welcome!

So there is my Chicago trip in review!  Sorry about the reused graphics, but somebody has gotta recycle around here!  Shiz!

The BEST View on Obama and the Economy I Have Read So Far!!

Robert Reich put it best!  It isn’t the government that is causing our economic woes and tearing it down and downsizing it is destroying any protection the middle/working class in this country have!!

Read the article!  This guy is putting it better than anyone so far!

And if you are a republican or fox news fan, don’t even bother reading it.  You wont agree with it anyways!

The big question is:

Quiz: What’s responsible for the lousy economy most Americans continue to wallow in?

A. Big government, bureaucrats, and the cultural and intellectual elites who back them.

B. Big business, Wall Street, and the powerful and privileged who represent them.

(And if you are wondering, I think it is TOTALLY answer “B”!!!  Answer “A” is totally a tea party ignorant Fox News viewer answer!)
