Say, what?

A CYNICAL LOOK AT THE DAILY GRIND

FORKED AGAIN

Does this upset anyone else but me?


Every time I order out or get fast food, there are always too many utensils in the bag or too many ketchup packets.

I have enough soy sauce and hot mustard packets in my refrigerator to sauce down all the rice in China. And, I don't know why I can't throw them away, especially the plastic forks.

So there they sit in a drawer, waiting to be used someday.

I hate how gluttony and wastefulness makes Americans look.

Then again, the late President Ronald Reagan would have turned this ketchup packet into a smorgasbord for schoolchildren.

CUTTING THE MUSTARD


In America we're not called the "home of the free" (because of the brave) for nothing.

We have the right to do almost anything such as ... eating hot dogs until you puke.


Does this gross out anyone else but me?

OK, I understand that the Coney Island hot dog-eating contest has been a tradition for almost a century, but watching these people "go for the gluttony" makes me sick. Especially when one upchucks like last year's champ did yesterday.

See it on YouTube here.


In any case, the mustard championship belt (I can't believe there actually is such a thing) is back in America after six long years!


It's something to relish, no doubt.
