Gross food Jun 21, 2006
Yesterday, I read two posts about really disgusting food.  The first one was about a Beer Battered Deep Fried Bacon Double Quarter Pounder. 
The guy (or girl?) who made it and ate it said he didn't eat again for 24 hours.  I would say I know that feeling, but I'm not sure I can honestly say that. 

The second one was about chocolate-covered bacon.  It sounds like somebody thought, "Ya know, I like bacon, and I like chocolate.  Why the heck don't I combine the two?" 
Actually, the reasoning was that chocolate and bacon are two foods that make pretty much anything taste better.  Would you want a plain old turkey sandwich, or would you want a turkey sandwich with BACON?  Would you want some plain old dry pretzels, or would you want some CHOCOLATE-covered pretzels?  The logic is flawless, but I'm not so sure I agree with combining the two.  Step 12 in the "recipe" was funny:  "(Optionally) Apply Sprinkles evenly on chocolate covered bacon while on cooling rack."  Where did the sprinkles come from? #food
Beat-up cars (2) Jun 21, 2006
When I'm driving, I always know who to stay away from:  Beat-up cars.  Cars with broken tail lights, dented door panels, and scratched bumpers are always good to steer clear of.  It's almost like they announce it:  "Don't come near me!  I can't drive!  And I wear these injuries as a warning to others!"  Sure, maybe these people were involved in a hit and run where they were the hit-ee, or maybe they got bumped in a parking lot.  Or maybe they just had a little fender bender and they're on their way to get it repaired.  Either way, a car's appearance is a good indication of a driver's ability.  If the car is in bad shape, chances are that the driver was somehow involved.  Obviously this isn't always the case (bad drivers have good cars, and good drivers have bad cars), but it's a good rule of thumb.  Another good indicator is the never-ending blinker.  If a car's blinker is on for a long time without making a turn, it's usually safe to say that the driver is an idiot and is paying no attention to driving. #travel
