I like mushroom swiss burgers. They are one of my favorites. So, the other day, I had a chance to try the new Angus Mushroom Swiss burger at Micky Ds.

The burger must really be special as it came in its own box. No plain wrapper for this baby.

I opened the box, picked up the burger and took a bite. I was expecting to taste a blend of burger, swiss cheese and mushrooms. Unfortunately, that was not what I got.

There was burger. There was bun. There was something that kind of tasted like mushrooms but they had a strange after taste. There was something that was white and slimy but I wasn’t sure if it was suppose to be the swiss cheese or some sort of sauce.

Well, half way through the burger, I debated about cutting my loses and buying a double cheese burger instead. But, I decided to stick it out. When I finished, I took a big drink of my diet coke in an effort to cleanse my pallet.

The Angus Mushroom Swiss burger is the worst burger that I have ever eaten. Maybe they should skip the box and invest in some real mushrooms and swiss cheese instead.

In an effort to prevent a flu outbreak, the state has posted signs in the restrooms about the importance of washing your hands regularly with soap and water. Unfortunately, all of the soap dispensers are empty and have been so for several weeks now.

Well, it was a nice idea anyway.

Alice Wang has designed a perfect date night for you. It comes with matching dishes and wine glasses, proper dinner attire and a special pillow to cuddle on after the meal.

Unfortunately, it is not for you and your significant other. Rather, it is for you and your dog. That’s right, a date night for you and your dog.

I guess this adds a different twist to the term “puppy love.”

What can I say about Soupy Sales?  I grew up with him.  He was like the Pee Wee Herman of the 50s and 60s.  Where ever Soupy was, a pie was soon to follow.

He will be missed.

We had crab cakes for the very first time this summer. They were delicious! But, ever since then, I have been trying to make them at home. And every try has been met by failure.

While I can mix up the ingredients and form the crab into patties, they always fall apart in the pan while they are cooking. Then, we end up eating crab hash.

Maybe I’ll start practicing with salmon patties. At least they are cheaper.

In an effort to increase their revenue, a TV station in Saginaw Michigan has started televising obituaries. As a part of their news program they now have an obituary segment. For a variety of fees, you can have your loved ones obituary read on TV.

While I think that it is a little strange, I guess people are willing to pay for it.  So, what ever.

I wonder if they run them between sports and the weather?

A group of folks in California are upset over a new Halloween costume. The costume consists of an alien mask, an orange jump suit with illegal alien written on it and a green card.

The folks that are upset by the costume feel that it is making fun of illegal aliens. But, anyone who has ever watched the movie “District Nine” realizes that this costume makes an entirely different statement.

I guess some people take themselves too seriously.

A California man was recently found dead on his porch. He had committed suicide on Monday but the neighbors thought it was only a Halloween decoration.

Well, at least they found him before Halloween.

In an effort to prevent bootlegging, Kelloggs is experimenting with lasering their logo on their corn flakes. And, while I don’t know if they plan to do every flake or just a random few, the idea is still interesting.

I guess I didn’t know that there was that much of a market for counterfeit corn flakes. But, I do have to wonder how effective lasering will be. After all, if you can afford to make counterfeit corn flakes, you can probably afford to have them lasered too.

I will never be able to buy corn flakes again with out wondering if they are real or fake.

Sponge Bob is getting married. When I first saw the headline, I wondered if it was going to be to Patrick. After all, it would be just like the liberal media to come up with something like that. But, I was relieved to read that his bride would be Sandy the Squirrel.

I know, I need to get a life.
