What’s better than finding a genie who will grant you three wishes? Reading the Weekend Threesome on The Nest and getting three tidbits from your favorite source of entertainment on the internet! OK, even I don’t believe that, but here we go anyway…
Since losing our weekly lunch dates at Golden Corral last year, I’ve been bringing lunch to my Mom’s house every Wednesday… and the current regular place to pick up food from has been Steak N Shake. Those of you who don’t live in the Midwest or the South have probably never heard of them, but they’re specialty is steakburgers and chileh chili, of which I’m a huge fan of the former, and my Mom of the latter.
But when I got to her place this Wednesday and opened up the bag…..
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking CHEESE!!!! On both of them!!!
I’ve ranted before about how McDonald’s will make this mistake a lot with my order, though at least it’s somewhat excusable there since the burger I order comes with cheese standard. Steakburgers at Steak N Shake cost EXTRA with cheese, so for the cook to throw it on there automatically should not have been an issue. I wasn’t about to drive 10 miles back up there that day and give them a piece of my mind, so I enjoyed my fries and made something at home, while left the tainted meat in the possession of my mom who probably fed it to her dogs.

Our idiot Mecca deejay I’m forced to listen to on Monday and Wednesday mornings at work often ends his show with a reminder to tune in to the other idiot deejay’s afternoon show at 1:00 central standard time. Now, I hate daylight savings time as much as the next red blooded American does, but still… it’s NOT correct to say “standard time” while daylight time is in effect!!! Standard time is an hour behind, doofus!
Oz Standard Time.
I bring this up because of an ad they’ve run on Mecca radio for a live internet concert that streamed on Mecca’s website last Tuesday. There were two different spots… one pitched by some country guy I’ve never heard of, and another by Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons. The country singer did fine, but Dan wanted to remind everyone that the concert started at 7:30 eastern STANDARD time. Our deejay’s a clueless twit, but I’d expect someone from the best band of the new millennium to fucking know better than to fall for the standard time trap! People only throw the “standard” in there to sound all intelligent and haughty, and of course, the smarter you try to look, the dumber you end up sounding…
Here’s a solution for people who like to use fancy pants talk…
And for you amateur ornithologists out there, it’s another exciting edition of Name That Bird!
From Saturday Squirrel to Sunday Squab.
From my park collection this past Thursday. I’m a bird doofus, so if anyone knows what kind of bird it is, feel free to shout it out below!
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
Too bad on the squirt-on cheesy mess-burger you got instead of what you ordered. Ick. Although I admit to liking the occasional cheeseburger but with REAL cheese! As for the mystery bird – maybe it’s a pregnant pigeon? Or a bald owl? An overweight dove? Might taste good with squirt-on cheese on it though whatever it is………..medium rare.

I’m sure it was real cheese at one time before it was heated to two million degrees and fused the once yummy burgers together. It would figure we have fat birds at the park with all of the food that gets left behind by both humans and the squirrels…
The bird looks like a pidgeon, maybe.
It could be…
I HATE it when they ‘add’ unwanted crap on my food! And that bird? Maybe that’s what the chileh dog was made of.. (well one of its cousins anyway). I’d hazard a guess and say that’s the world’s fattest pigeon. Somebody’s been generous with the bread crumbs in the park or whatever they feed them, bread now being on the ‘bad’ foods list for birds.
Maybe Mr(s) Mystery Bird has a glandular problem… (no shaming implied. I’m ‘fluffy’ too)
Looks like three votes for fat-ass pigeon. I hope it hasn’t been munching on any of the squirrels… or maybe we know now why so many of them have ear nibbles!
Mmm, steakburger with extra cheese and chilli. How did you know?
If I knew you wanted it, I’d have mailed it to you. I’m sure it would’ve still been fresh after a week in transit…
Come to Arizona where we never change our clocks.

Yeah, but then your clocks melt like in that Dali painting…
It’s the bird that took a shit on my car last week…
That’s funny, because a bird shit on my car while I was at the park getting that picture. If I’d have known, I’d have sold his fat ass to KFC…
The bird is a Midwest Standard Chubby. LOL Sorry, couldn’t resist. Don’t you just want to drop a house on someone who says Eastern Standard time during Daylight Savings?
I’d rather drop a house on whoever invented daylight time just to get more tee time in…
I’m with you. Stupidest idea being repeated despite being loathed on the one hand and completely ineffectual on the other.
