AKA: When Good Burgers Go Bad

Following on from the 1lb. Monster Thickburger last month it was time to take the ultimate fast food challenge… The 1½lb. Monsterous Thickburger!

Flickr: Monster Thickburger Comparison...Weighing in with easily over 2100 calories, this bad, bad burger is for serious folks only… It’s currently just over two times the size of Hardees current 2/3lb. Monster Thickburger (comparison to the right) and is made up of THREE ½-pound slabs of Angus beef, six strips of bacon, four slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun.

All you can say is “Fuck Yeah!”

Anyways, Barry consumed this unholy delicacy in a little over 30 minutes… But the burning question remains, will he take the 2lb. challenge?

Sometimes I could just scream at Ticketmaster and it’s xenophobic ordering system… I mean, I was around in plenty of time to order tickets for Coldplay at the Philips Arena in September this morning, but it then took me on a 25 minute dance to get them.

Philips Arena Seating ChartFirst of all, my visa card is from the UK and it isn’t liked by them one bit, so my floor level seat disappeared quickly, then the card that was stored in my account had expired, so another potentially great seat disappeared into the ether also while I went about updating the account details… Finally, at my wits end, and just before I was ready to get on the phone to them about why they wouldnt even allow a pdf download option to cards from outside the US, I was finally able to get a semi-decent seat…

Front row of the upper level, section 311. $51 plus $11 (eleven??) in fees, don’t get me started on that…

Shame it’s on Will Call (small graces), all I need to do now is get down the Philips Arena and hope the transaction went ahead fine.

I’ve been accepted as a new contributor in the Atlanta Metroblog, which is pretty damn cool, course it now means I’ll need to get out and about more in the Atlanta area as I’m sorely lacking in ATL knowledge, oh well, a hard price to pay for the apparent fame and no doubt fortunes this endevour will bring me.

Anyways, I best go and post a little hello post over there, but don’t worry, I won’t forget about you, you’re still my first love, always was, always will be…

Flickr: Gregor and his Ice Cream CakeNow it isn’t a proper birthday without a cake, and Phil, Erika and Barry surprised me with a really nice ice cream cake after dinner yesterday…

This is me trying to cut the damn thing, but it was pretty much frozen solid, and when it was eventually cut, the icing stained everything blue… No joke, lips, teeth, fingers, all blue.
