Obesity Takes Skeletor

After a hard day of work for the Brain and Cousin T, we headed out to Coney Island for a not so nutritious dinner. Everyone knows that it's pretty difficult to get any nutritional value out of a meal at this place, but there is a way to dodge an instant heart attack. Brain, otherwise known as Skeletor went straight for it. He ordered the Monster Burger. Three 1/3 pound patties, with a slice of American cheese in between each, plus mayo, ketchup, onions, lettuce, and tomato.

Holy GOD. And on top of that...he wanted chili cheese fries!! I went ahead and vetoed the chili cheese fries, so we could make it home without being gassed out of the vehicle...slash so he wasn't guaranteed to fall on the floor and die instantly within minutes of finishing. Yikes.

When this steroidal burger emerged from the kitchen I was amazed. It was much too large for my mouth, but it's a good thing the Brain can just go ahead and unhinge his jaw and squeeze it in his piehole. Dripping in grease (naturally) with a large side of fries and a mini tub of mayo he went ahead and demolished the Monster Burger in its entirety...not really to our amazement, but I'm pretty sure he received a few incredulous stares from those that had seen what once was sitting atop his plate.

Anyways...we rolled the boy who amazingly didn't appear to have a food baby on board out of the restaurant and headed to Lowe's for part two of the adventure.

Now, why we took the Civic, the smallest car in our army of vehicular devices, I'm not sure. Lapse in thought perhaps, but anyways. We needed to pick up two ten foot sections of PVC piping and somehow transport it in this tiny compact automobile. We ended up putting one end in the front passenger seat and stuck the other end out of the back left passenger seat's window...and yes, there was probably three-ish feet extra jutting out the left side of the car...eek.

The Brain and Cousin T plopped themselves in the back seat and I assumed the Chauffeur position (one that I am fairly familiar with, after all, it is my summer job). We hugged the right side of the road for the entire drive back to the home unit and received plenty of stares, funny looks, laughs, a number of double takes, and even an enthusiastic thumbs up! Needless to say, it was a pleasantly entertaining ride home.
