A Few Notes on My Trip To California

Proof that My Stomach Has No Limits:

While in California we ate breakfast at toast. I had a small breakfast, an omelet. Robbie and I both avoided the toast and potatoes because we knew what our day had in store...

First Stop:

Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles

I had special #1:

The trick is covering the chicken with hot sauce, then putting the chicken on your buttered waffle. After that, you cover the entire plate with syrup and enjoy...delicious. This place had great waffles and great chicken, we were very impressed.

Stop #2:
Cactus Taqueria

I had a tongue burrito. Tongue is rather fatty. When roasted for an extended period the fat melts into the meat perfectly. Mix in sour cream, rice, beans, onions, pico de gallo and you are in business. Frankly, I am just getting warmed up.

I have eaten 1/3 of the burrito at this point.

Third and Final Stop:

Fatburger

I was very impressed. This was a loose-packed cheeseburger which made for lots of crispy goodness. They offer a plethora of toppings. I had a cheeseburger with mayo and pepper.
The burger was good but I was most impressed by the ketchup cups:
The short sides allow for maximum ketchup consumption. Also, they have Mr. Pibb instead of Dr. Pepper.

After this consumption expedition, we went to the wedding. I ate there too.

Makeshift microphones for Living on a Prayer. Mine is made with a potato.

5 Excellent Employment Ideas For Me...

Neil Diamond Style Cover Singer - I can sing any song as Neil Diamond...Ooops, I did it again.

Stick Figure Artist - I can draw a stick figure as well as anyone

Competitive Eater - More on my California eatstravaganza tomorrow but understand that I have never finished a meal without the ability to have dessert afterward.

Wood Chopper - I enjoy splitting wood, I could do that all day.

Holy Inferiority Complex Batman

I understand having a "Go Saux" license plate or something. However I assure you, the Yankees do not suck.

If you lost your fluke in Boston...

Dessert Is Where The Money Is

Restaurants make a higher markup on desserts than on anything else.

Fewer People=Less Dust

Dust comes from dead skin cells that have fallen off people. With smaller populations in the 19th century, dust was not a concern. The modern feather duster was not invented until 1875.

Watermelons

Over time watermelons have adapted to have fewer seeds

This painting is from 1855. The watermelon is on the bottom right.

Spoon Collections

You often find that people collect spoons. I have decided to start collecting forks, I think it is a safe investment.

Source of the Word Kerchief

Kerchief is the ancient Sumerian word for sneeze. Kerchiefs were so named for what was most necessary to have at hand when sneezing to wipe mucus. The handkerchief was invented to prevent people from sneezing in their hands...hence the name.
