Do We Have To Sue.. Everyone?

Martin Kessman and I have something in common… we love burgers.  But he’s a little larger than I am, and the 290 pound New York man is upset at White Castle ….because he finds it hard to fit into their booths.   He was so incensed that he’s filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court.  Oh, the humiliation.  Oh, the annoyance.  We get it.  But do we have to sue everyone… over every little annoyance?  Mr. Kessman says, “I just want to sit down like a normal person.”  Here’s an idea… if you want to sit down like a normal person,  spend a little more time becoming one.  How ‘bout a walk around the block once in a while? arnoldinuyaki photo

Weighty Goal.. Fattest Woman Ever...

I thought this was a joke but I was wrong.   The UK Daily Mail is reporting that Susanne Eman, an Arizona mother of two boys, tips the scales at more than 700 pounds.  She doesn’t want to lose weight… she wants to put it on, and become the fattest human in history.  That’s right, her “goal” is 1600 pounds.  She’s currently consuming around 22,000 calories a day, and her breakfast menu alone could feed 60 people.  “The bigger I get, the better I feel,” says Susanne.  “I feel more confident and sexy.  Why shouldn’t I push the limits and see how fat I can get and stay healthy?”  Woman, you are not overweight.. or fat.. or obese.  You are bat$##t crazy! grahamc99 photo

Cops Storm Lemonade Stand...

You may have seen this WSBTV story out of Midway, Georgia.  The cops have put the squeeze on a lemonade stand run by three girls, who were trying to raise money to go to a water park.  Apparently the girls needed business and food permits ($50 a day), even if the stand is at a residence.  In other words, selling lemonade in your yard is illegal.  Yes, I realize cities are strapped for cash… who isn’t?  But come on… Way to put a damper on the entrepreneurial spirit.  I’ll bet they wouldn’t have done this to The Little Rascals… carissagoodncrazy photo

Kids Under Six Not Welcome...

There’s a story out of Monroeville, Pennsylvania that’s causing a bit of a stir.  It seems McDain’s Restaurant is not going to be confused with the other McD’s anytime soon.  Starting tomorrow, kids under 6 will no longer be admitted.  The owner says “their volume can’t be controlled and many, many times, they have disturbed customers.”  Okay, little ones can be a little noisy… such is life.  But I’m not sure if I like banning people under a certain age or over a certain age.  What I’d love to see is…. banning people who are annoying.  You know… if you’re obnoxious, rude, condescending..  you’re out.  One day, there may be a simple scanner at the entrance.. a jackass detector.  Most people just walk through it, no problem.  Come on in.  But you?  Oh, oh… you have jackass tendencies.  That’s not a crime… you just can’t eat here.  I think the rest of us would appreciate it.  storyvillegirl photo

Food Trucks Find A Way...

With the help of the Food Network shows and other exposure, there’s no shortage of Food Truck entrepreneurs… and fans these days.   And this despite downtown Sacramento’s strict ordinances against the kind of mobile foodie scene you might find in Portland, San Francisco or LA. Thanks to Chris Macias of the Bee,  I understand that the newly formed Sacramento Food Truck Alliance has started to organize weekly festivals, slightly beyond the downtown limits.  Thursday night spots have included Tognotti’s Auto World’s parking lot… and tonight’s edition (from 5 - 8pm)  will be at Mel Rapton Honda on Fulton, near the Capital City Freeway.  Local vendors will include Mini Burger, Drewski’s Hot Rod Kitchen, Mama Kim, Chando’s Tacos and the Leaven & Earth Sandwich Co.  Hey, that sounds like some good eatin.’ ricardodiaz11 photo
