Good work, gumshoes

Previously, on Yahoo!…
Chesh sent me this screengrab because, he said, “I couldn’t believe something so perfectly suited for you was on my screen!” Awww. It really is unrealistically perfect. I especially enjoy how the very question posed by the Top Story — “Is this for real?” — is negated by the fourth link below it, presumably a link to the same exact story as the big tout. I know words like “tout.”
But then inexplicably, the story had vanished from Yahoo! It appears someone didn’t do his/her reporting to find out that according to Wikipedia, the Luther Burger, named that because it was something Luther Vandross liked to eat, originated in Decateur, GA and has been around for years.
What I find even more ridiculous than Yahoo! taking the story down is that it was even a story in the first place. Don’t get me wrong — it’s definitely my idea of breaking news — but the fact that it was featured so prominently on the site, if only for a few minutes, is truly puzzling. It’s as if someone who really wanted to get fired from Yahoo! went and messed around in the backend for his/her own enjoyment. Annie Barrett’s separated-at-birth twin, are you having a laugh?
We couldn’t let the issue go…
Remember said puncture? Ahhhhh, the puncture.
WTF, Yahoo!?

That reminds me of those weird McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches. You know what I’m talking about? The cinnamon raisin and meat/cheese thingies? I thought if I didn’t like them, then no one would. But I think they still exist.

Ah, the McGriddle. Yet another way to make something gloriously unhealthy even worse for you (and tastier).

Riggity — of course! ANYTHING, you say. Hmmm.
riese/Heather — I do know what you’re talking about. In theory I love the McGriddle. In reality those things just make me ill. Something about the way the egg grease merges in with the pancake. That should happen naturally, on a plate…. not on purpose in a sandwich.
