McDonald's Raises Their Prices!

I agree that Egg McMuffins are a tasty treat. However, I think that $250 is way too much to pay for these delicacies. I know, I know... you actually get 2 of these delicious breakfast sandwiches for your $250, but it is still too much.

Scenes from the South - part 1

One of the best parts of my job is that I get to travel. I always carry my camera with me to capture stuff that I think is interesting. Being a son of the South, I love scenes that remind me of being "Southern".
Another draw for me is old neon signs. The picture above was taken just outside of Myrte Beach, SC. I think it captures a little of both.

Fun Things For Bammers to Do on Vacation

I was recently at a meeting at the beach. I love the beach! One of the main reasons that I love the beach so much is because there are so many fun things to do.

I like to go out and eat seafood, swim in the pool, read a novel on the beach, body surf, play goofy golf, have my wife shave my back on the balcony, ride go carts.

Of all these activities, I think having my wife shave my back on the balcony is my favorite. There is nothing like wearing my most bitchin' camo cargo shorts, popping a cold brew, grabbing my wife and electric trimmer and heading outside to take in the view.

The best part of this activity is that you get to share it with the other guests of the condo tower. There is something about having your back hair trimmed that makes you want to share the experience with others. That's not the kind of thing that you want to keep to yourself.

I mean, it's like telling the other guests, "I have a hairy Sasquatch back. Because it is so disgustingly heinous, I am shaving it so you won't throw up in your mouth when you see me. To prove my devotion to my fellow vacationers, I will shave it in public for your viewing pleasure."

Weekend Bammer Sightings

We went down to the Crawfish Boil in Birmingham this weekend and had a great time. Not only was the music good, but it was a primo people watching environment.

The bammers were out in full force. K-Mart must've had a sale on houndstooth baseball caps, because I lost count at 20. You know the hat I'm talking about. If not, just go look up a mug shot of an Alabama player... it's the hat he's wearing.

While I was being completely entertained by playing "spot the bammer", I forgot that my cell phone has a camera. Dang it! So many missed opportunities.

So this one really stood out. As I was standing behind this Rhodes Scholar, slowly being killed by his second hand smoke, I began reading his shirt. You have got to be kidding me!!! They have combined Alabama football and bass fishing into the most bitchin' redneck shirt ever!

The shirt reads, "Reelin' in the Competition ALABAMA Crimson Tide something something"

OK, don't get me wrong. I like to fish. Fishing itself is not redneck, necessarily. Purchasing a t-shirt that features a bass attacking a lure moves you into the "you might be a redneck if... " category. Purchasing a t-shirt that features a bass attacking a lure combined with your love of all things uat definitely moves you deep into the heart of Redneckville. Wearing that shirt with your checkered bammer visor and your blue jean cargo shorts makes you mayor of Redneckville.

Congratulations.

Ice Cream

What if people really did scream for ice cream. I think if that were the case, ice cream shoppes would not be nearly as appealing as they currently are.

Can you imagine... GIVE ME A DOUBLE SCOOP OF ROCKY ROAD IN A WAFFLE CONE!!!!
Sir, you're making my kids cry.
LADY, I AM SCREAMING FOR ICE CREAM. DON'T YOU KNOW HOW THIS IS DONE? YOU SCREAM, I SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM.

Staff of these shoppes (sometimes called shops) would have to wear ear protection. Also, neighboring businesses could be adversly impacted. Ideally, you could open an ice cream shoppe (or shop) next to a pain clinic. They are used to screaming.
