SCREW THE CALORIC CONTENT...I'M EATING THAT TRIPLE BACON CHEESEBURGER!

So I was recently inspired to blog from a conversation I just had with Crash. She was telling me that she just ate at The Hard Rock Cafe over the weekend. She said that she was a little disturbed by the menu because they included the caloric content for each item. As you can see from the picture, this is something we really do not need to know. Come on now, a grilled salmon Caesar salad has 1,250 calories! WTF?! Now, I'm not one to count calories but this just made me a little depressed. Unless you're being forced to do it by law, do you as a restaurant really want to let your consumers know how many calories you're stuffing into your gullet? The same goes for all the fast food chains too. At 3 in the morning, after a night of heavy drinking, do I really need to kill my buzz by knowing that a quick trip through the drive-thru could cost me about 1,500 calories? I think not...actually, I know not. You already know that you shouldn't be eating fast food, so why rub in our faces how fat and unhealthy we actually are? I know these are a lot of questions that could formed into very legitimate statements...but for mindless-babbles-sake, I will leave them as questions.

So just think about it next time you sit down at your favorite burger joint, how many walks around the block you will have to take in order to burn a quarter of what you are about ingest. I can tell you that I won't even look twice at that stupid caloric content nonsense when ordering my triple bacon cheeseburger with fried onions and extra mayo. Bring on the heartburn baby!

Until next time....

SUCKS FOR KROEGER!

This should teach you to not be rich and stupid:

According to the Vancouver Sun, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has been ordered by a British Columbia Supreme Court judge to pay his former partner $25,000 in MONTHLY support. Kroeger's ex-partner of six and half years, former hairdresser Marianna Goriuk, had initially demanded $95,000 a month! Kroeger countered back with $10,000 per month. The singer's annual income is $9.7 million. Goriuk's demands included $5,100 in pet care??? This amount is supposedly for a horse that Kroeger bought her for her birthday. Associate Chief Justice Anne Mackenzie wrote in her decision:

"The parties lifestyle was extravagent. They ordered expensive food and wine, took private jets to Mexico and other places, hired helicopters at the last minute to fly into Vancouver for the evening and traveled in Limousines."

A full trial will begin on August 15th to determine whether Goriuk has any claim to those properties and other assets belonging to Kroeger.

I say, "It's TOO BAD Chad, you were just acting like a ROCKSTAR...THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMEBODY FOR YOU OUT THERE."

mwahahahahaha.....

BENEFIT EVENT AT THE PIG PEN ON SUNDAY, FEB. 27th

My second home, The Pig Pen sports bar, is hosting a disaster relief event for the distressed families and victims of the catastrophic gas explosion that took place in Allentown on February 10th. The explosion claimed the lives of five people, including a 4-month old boy. About a dozen people were injured and more than 350 were forced to evacuate from surrounding blocks.

The Pig Pen will open its doors at noon on Sunday, February 27th for the special 12 hour event. Supporters of the event will enjoy live entertainment all day long, free bowling and bull riding. The $5 donation at the door will go directly to the families affected by this tragedy. The Pig Pen will also be collecting books, clothing and other important items.

NEW JERSEY IN MY REARVIEW

This should say: "Sayonara New Jersey"

For the first time in 5 years, Michigan isn't the top state for people to leave anymore. The annual United Van Lines ranking of state outbound migration found that NJ had the most outbound migration, with a ranking of 62.5 percent of moves heading out of the state. Michigan came in a very close second with 62. (Google Buzz)

I will defend Jersey to the end, though, shows like the Jersey Shore make us look terrible as a state. This outbound migration might actually be a good thing because it might help to free up some space again.

OZZY GOES ANIMATED!

Here is a link to the new animated Lipton Brisk commercial which features classic rocker, Ozzy Osbourne:

Do you think stuff like this is bad for Ozzy's image? What can he do to get his credibility back?

I GIVE UP!!!

Now I know I haven't blogged in a while, mainly because my brain has been on vacation, but this is a very important issue. After bitchin' and complaining about how Route 33 has sucked pretty much this entire summer, I decided it was time to take an alternate route to work. So far so good....until today. First off, I want to start out by saying that I was running late as usual, so I was already off to a bad start. Then with the rain factored in things got a little worse. To cap it all off was the fact that there was road construction on freaking Route 191!! I mean come on now, when does it end?? Haven't you tortured us commuters enough already?? Route 191 is essentially a mountain road with only one lane going either direction. As a result, you get the doofus who stands there holding the "STOP/SLOW sign," letting one lane creep by at a time. Almost to add insult to injury the "STOP/SLOW sign" holder glares at you as you pass by in frustration. Now maybe PENNDOT doesn't quite understand the urgency of this situation. Do they actually think for one second that at 2 o'clock in the afternoon there is nothing else I'd rather be doing besides sitting, with my car in park, in road construction traffic? I am not knocking road workers, for they are better people than me, I am just saying that they need to speed things up a little. Can't they have the dude that's holding the "STOP/SLOW sign" plant it in the ground for a couple minutes and actually help out the rest of his crew? I am sure me writing this won't make a lick of difference, and I know I am not the first to complain about this issue. For now I will continue to grin and bear it and save up every dime that I have to purchase a helicopter. And by the time that happens, there might actually be roadways in the sky that will of course be under construction!

until next time....
