Fast Food Friday... Paradise Pup

OK, so no doubt I've eaten my fair share of burgers in my lifetime however, some of these juicy morsals have forever burned a taste and image in my brain that I just can't shake.

Fast Food Friday is proud to present to you... Paradise Pup!
  
Long before this little hideaway was featured on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives I was slamming down Pup burgers. The char broiled beef is cooked to perfection... juicy, smokey, ooozing with merkt's cheddar cheese & grilled onions. Take my advice and grab plenty of napkins. The lines are long around lunch but move pretty fast, seating is limited inside but plenty of tables outside and it's CASH only. The cheddar burger single is a hand full so, should you decide step into the double cheddar burger zone be prepared to take the rest of the day off... I only did it once. So, what are waiting for, go get your burger fix.

Privacy Curtain

Privacy curtain... whoa, if he could find a way to strap a goalie stick to that thing he could be bringing the Stanley Cup back across the drink.

The workshop of Niklas Roy from Berlin, Germany, is located in an old storefront with a big window facing towards the street. In an attempt to create more privacy inside, he has decided to install a small but smart curtain in that window.

The curtain is smaller than the window, but an additional surveillance camera and an old laptop provide it with intelligence: The computer sees the pedestrians and locates them. With a motor attached, it positions the curtain exactly where the pedestrians are.

With age comes wisdom... most of the time

Sorry, I'm on a Tim Hawkins roll... but, this advice is to good not to pass on.

As Men we're looked at by the opposite sex as neanderthals... a three legged beast who's only intention is to mate, indulge in the juice of the gods and watch football.

In your lifetime once your with someone long enough to know better and, if you're one of those who are dumb enough to give a hot air pop corn popper as an anniversary gift... listen and learn... the life you save may be your own.

FYI, you don't need to be married to to appreciate the advice here.

The "Candy Man"... hilarious Government parody song


You gotta love a guy who's not worried about having to go into wittiness protection. Tim Hawkins (The Goverment Can) spin on this classic Sammy Davis Jr. hit song The Candy Man.

Minds Eye

The mind is a funny little thing. All wrapped up invisibly tucked away in your brain just waiting to react to an emotion that's been sent it's way. Below is a few samples of creative thought that came out of nowhere... since I love art, inventing and all things creative, this was sort of a gift from my mind... Thanks mind!

If I could only save my art to cavas instead of jpeg :)
