crazy ingredients in Mountain Dew

Someone examined the ingredients of Mountain Dew, and it’s quite interesting.  Did you know it contains two elements that when combined are poisonous?  Fortunately there’s an ingredient that also works as an antidote.   Mountain Dew also contains a laxative.   And it also contains an ingredient that, if taken in large doses, can cause hallucinations and such.

colon cleansing spam

I got a spam e-mail from ColonCleanser, with the subject line of “Complimentary Colon Cleanse”.  I don’t open spam e-mails, but if I were to, I would reply and tell them that my body has a natural colon cleansing mechanism built-in.  You know what I’m sayin’?

If you happen to be having some problems, I can send you the recipe for my infamous chili-cheese dip.  It’ll keep you regular…  🙂

Speaking of colon cleansing and all that mess, that reminds me of the classic table scene from the movie The Nutty Professor (the one with Eddie Murphy).  Quote: “You want yo’ colon cleansed?!?  Fine!  I’m gonna clean mine!  PHVRRRT!  There, now my colon is clean, I’m talkin’ squeaky clean!”  And that led to one of the greatest lines ever: “PHVRRRT!”  “Who dat call my name?”  “Yeah, I called ya if ya name is PHVRRRT!”

World Record Burger

I was showing some of the guys pictures of the “twin towers of cholesterol” today, and they were curious to see what the biggest burger ever made looked like.  So after much research* I found what I was looking for…

* research consisted of a quick google.

Behold the “Absolutely Ridiculous Burger”:

world record burger -- largest

This burger weighs in at a Artery Clogging 164.5 lbs… yes, that’s right — 164.5 pounds!

They claim that this is the “largest hamburger commercially available.”  And I would believe it!  Look at this monster!   For only $399 and 72 hours notices you can order your very own.   It’s actually on the menu!  (They also sell a 10-pound burger, plus a 1/2 pound burger for wusses.)

It appears we need to have another cookout at Fab’s to see if we can top this one.

I also found another burger that deserves “honorable mention” — they call it the bacon-cheese-pizza-burger!

bacon-cheese-pizza-burger

Want to make one?  They describe how:

“Just take a giant beef patty, eggs, bacon, colby, pepper jack cheese, and throw everything in-between 2 large meat pizzas.”  Yum.

The site also states that they “will not be held responsible for your upcoming heart attack if you decide to eat one these monstrosities.”

why the weather changed drastically

Yesterday the temperature here was 80 degrees, and today we’re getting sleet / freezing rain during the day.  I figured out why — the weather is frontin’…  🙂
