08.23.09 by Widge @ 2:47 pm Yeah, I know. I thought it was a joke as well. But apparently not. It's true: KFC has abandoned bread for their latest monstrosity, the Double Down, in which you get two hunks of fried chicken enveloping bacon, cheese and some form of sauce. Here's a commercial, shot in the wild: Categorized as: Food

06.30.09 by Widge @ 2:14 am So Storm (of Paul and Storm, naturally) posted this to Twitter. And by the end of it I was screaming too. I don't know why, I just couldn't help myself. Direct link for the feedreaders. Why is that so terribly disturbing? Best not to speculate. I do see very readily, though, that this strange anthropomorphic hot dog--this refugee from Upton Sinclair's The Fugitive--had an ancestor: Categorized as: Food

04.12.09 by Widge @ 12:21 am Ken posted this on Twitter and I warn you: after watching this, you will never look at a Cadbury Creme Egg the same way again. Direct link for the feedreaders. Seriously, it's like Tool's Adam Jones decided to direct an advert for chocolate. Categorized as: Food

02.10.09 by Widge @ 11:48 am  I remember hearing about this last year--a Waffle House in John's Creek, GA decided to offer "white tablecloth service" for Valentine's Evening. For our readers who don't live near a Waffle House or are unaware of its significance, it is listed on Wikipedia as a "casual dining restaurant." For the record, it is about as casual as you can get. It is normally the jurisdiction of broke students, working musicians and people in various stages of intoxication. I say this with no derision--it is a fantastic place for people watching. And as for the Valentine's Day thing, there are now thirty locations in which you can get this level of service, complete with candlelight and romantic music. Why? Because, as Waffle House Vice President of Marketing Pat Warner says, "What says love better than sharing a warm pecan waffle with your loved one." Indeed. Also, Warner said "We invite everyone to get Scattered, Smothered & Covered this Valentine's Day at Waffle House." No, Scott, I don't believe that's a euphemism. Seriously, if you do this, I want a picture and a full report. Participating locations and their numbers are here so you can call for reservations. Categorized as: Food

01.27.09 by Widge @ 1:37 pm  Alternate Title for This Post: "It's Father Day, Bedelia, And I Want My Cake." So it's a bit unnerving that we've got warnings about zombies in Austin and yet another unnamed location. No one actually saw any zombies, mind you, but it's all no doubt part of the conspiracy. Stay vigilant, is what I say. But still, all this talk of the zed word plus Scott sending me the undead Hello Kitty cake pictured below...it got me to thinking. Zombie cakes. How many zombie cake sightings have we had? There's the Zombie Hoffa cupcake, naturally. But let's take a look and see what else is out there... Categorized as: Food
