Longtime readers of TVGuy know of our love for truly horrific fast food/chain restaurant items.... how about a few more??
WORST DESSERT - Chili's Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. 1,600 calories, 78 G fat, 215 G carbs. Would you eat a Big Mac for dessert? How about three? That's the calorie equivalent of this decadent dish. Clearly, Chili's customers get their money's worth.
WORST BREAKFAST - Bob Evans Caramel Banana Pecan Cream Stacked and Stuffed hotcakes. 1,540 calories, 77 G fat (9 G Trans fat), 198 G carbs, 109 G sugar. Five Egg McMuffins yield the same caloric cost as this stack of sugar-stuffed flapjacks, which is truly a heavy breakfast, weighing in at a hefty two pounds and a half.
WORST PIZZA - Uno Chicago Grill Chicago Classic Deep Dish Pizza. 2,310 calories, 162 G fat, 123 G carbs, 4,470 mg sodium. Downing this "personal" pizza is equivalent to eating 18 slices of Domino's Crunchy Thin Crust cheese pizza.
WORST PASTA - Macaroni Grill Spaghetti and Meatballs with Meat Sauce. 2,430 calories, 128 G fat, 207 G carbs, 5,290 mg sodium. This meal satisfies your calorie requirements for an entire day.
god.. I think I'll have a glass of water for breakfast....

Came across a couple of descriptions of a few horrible beers on a website the other day that made me laugh...
>Cave Creek Chili Beer This is the perfect beer for people who hate themselves and desire punishment. This unholy union of a whole chili pepper and a fiendishly nasty pale lager will get medieval on your tongue.
>Chapeau Exotic This Lambic is proof that rare Belgian beers are capable of great suckitude. Writes Orlando Ratebeer.com member Boboski: "One sip leads to a joyful drain pour. I hope it doesn't ruin my sink."

And now it's time for our
here with more is... er.. well, me....
If you're afraid of flying, just remember this... there have been approximately 45 million flights in a row without a crash in North America by the major carriers.... remember that the next time you're speeding down the highway on your cell phone with music blaring as you are passed on the left by a semi-trailer weighing 14 metric tons separated only by a little dotted line...

Again, gas prices here in the U.S. are just ridiculous... the record profit being recorded by the American Oil Importers is just highway robbery at this point... and yet, worldwide prices tell us a different story...
my point.. it could always be worse...

TVGal is in Oregon this week on a work assignment... Crater Lake to be exact... she sent along this photo which illustrates how beautiful the area is.....
And the fact that they may not have hired the best folks there to clear the roads...

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that proclaimed "Bush/Cheney '84!".
Not being terribly timely aside, my point here is that it was on a 2006 model sedan... So, was it just laying around the garage? Covering up another more embarrassing sticker? Was the 1984 ticket their favorite Presidential team ever! I'll never know, but odd nonetheless... right?

Look, I know guys like to work on their cars... souping up here and there... modifying this and that...
But if you are thinking about doing this....
Please, take a moment and think again... thanks...

In dealing with future automotive purchases in my life, one rule has governed my thought processes pretty successfully over these many years...
That rule is this.... Don't buy any car that has a ladder attached to it... (yes, I'm talking to you Mr. Minivan...)
So I drove by this vehicle yesterday....
Dodge says its a "cargo van"... my question is, for what? NBA charters? Who needs 6 feet of headroom?
Anyway, the name of this bulky monstrosity?
Yes, the "Sprinter"...
(What, the "Gazelle" was taken? The Dodge "Flash" didn't excite you? Let me help.. how about the Dodge "Rectangle"...)
I'm just sayin'.....
