This is News

I was watching the local news and as they go to commercial hey show a "teaser" of the upcoming story that they will report on after the break. This was the teaser...

"Why don't pregnant women fall over? The answer may surprise you."

Does this seem extremely stupid? Why would anyone ever report on this? Well the teaser worked beause I stayed tuned to see the report. As it turns out its because pregnant women balance.

Quote of the day

"Smile, work is almost over!" -- A woman said this to me today. Apparently I was walking around with a frown. This could have been because I was working, or it could have been because I was working on only a couple of hours sleep, but one things for sure, I was not in a bad mood before she said this.

This is the equivalent of saying, "Sounds like somebody has a case of the Monday's."
I reckon she should get her ass kicked for saying something like that.

Boogie Burger

Quite possibly one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. Boogie Burger is a mom and pop hole-in-the-wall place located on the south side of East Lancaster, just west of the old Stripling Cox building*. And actually before yesterday I never knew of its existence. And its no wonder I never noticed it before, typically in that stretch of Lancaster I just keep my eyes on the road in front of me. I don't usually notice the businesses along there because I don't look to the side. I don't want to look over and accidentally make eye contact with someone, that's a good way to get yourself killed in that neighborhood.

Their burgers are juicy and greasy but not too greasy, just the right amount. Of course they are cooked to order and you have the option of adding some delicious grilled onions to the standard lettuce, tomato and pickle. They also have fries that are cut straight from the potato and never frozen. For $5.25 you can get a quarter pounder with fries and a drink. But you should go ahead and add bacon, which is always just the right amount of crispiness, for 75 cents more. They also have some other classics like milk shakes onion rings and corny dogs... but it's really the hamburgers that'll make you want to "boogie".

And don't forget to say high to the homeless guy out front. All he's panhandling for is your smile and a kind word**.


*North. There, now I managed to use all four direction in describing the location of a single place.
** And your money.
