I'm trying this link thing to see if I can get it to shorten some of the over-long URLs.

How about this, filthy:
Death on a Bun

Great article. I particularly liked this part:
quote:
Hardee's timing is interesting; McDonald's, Wendy's and other rival fast-food giants are offering salads and other lower-calorie fare. But Hardee's appears comfortable staking its future — at least near-term — on gargantuan burgers.


If I ate one of these it would immediately increase the size of my ass two-fold - which is precisely why I won't order one. Good for Hardee's for putting it on the menu and letting the public take responsibility for themselves.

Millions long for immortality who don't know what to do on a rainy afternoon.

Don't know what I did, but on the preview, I made it three times as long.

I'll try it again later.

Thanks again siberia.

To make "Link Title" you would type in:
[url="http://www.google.com/"]Link Title[/url]
Does that help?

I entirely agree that if someone wants one of these cannonballs and has the where-with-all to pay for it, then he/she should have it. But somehow, it seems to be pandering to gluttony. I really can't say if my objection to the Monster Burger is that or the obvious health reasons.

But then, I'm from an earlier generation and still have a few rather puritan instincts. Just because it looks good doesn't mean I have to have it. Also, my metabolism has slowed down and I can't use all that food.

I almost never eat at the fast food pits because I consider most of them to be all but downright poisonious. If I'm on the road and feel like I'm about to starve, an exception will be made. But I would never consider this beast of a burger.

Over-consumption. I've read that the later Romans practiced it a lot, at least the wealthier ones did. Could that be some sort of a harbinger?
