The Big Arch Hype

by Al
written by Al

The last few weeks, it seems like every where I go on the Internet I’m being assaulted with reviews of the new McDonald’s Big Arch. In case you’ve somehow missed all the hype, the Big Arch is a double burger topped with three cheese slices, lettuce, onions, pickles and Big Arch sauce, which the marketing department describes as ‘tangy, creamy, with the perfect balance of mustard, pickle and sweet tomato flavors.’ Depending where you live the Big Arch will cost you anywhere from $7.46 to $12.99. The even bigger price is the number of calories it contains, which comes in at a whopping 1020. I’ve posted an article in the past about how much I hate McDonald’s. Their food is …

When Good Toilet Seats Go Bad

by Al
written by Al

My family says I’m cheap. I like to think of myself as frugal. It’s not that I won’t spend money or always go for the cheapest deal. It’s just that I won’t spend money on something that I don’t perceive as worth it. I’ll buy the top of the line if it gives me something that other products don’t but I won’t spend money needlessly for status or prestige. Sometimes that gets me into trouble. The other day our toilet seat broke. One of the hinges on the back snapped off. (Perhaps we should consider diets.) Anyway, it was time to replace it so I looked at the seats that were available at The Home Depot. Thirty dollars for a …

And the Answer is… Ken Jennings

by Al
written by Al

I was never a big fan of Ken Jennings. He always seemed a bit arrogant and to top it off, had that Howdy Doody look going against him. When they announced him as the potential successor for Alex Trebek I cringed. Jennings? How could you even consider him? Turns out I was wrong. Jennings has turned out to be perfect in the role. He knows the game, has the proper credentials and seems really comfortable hosting the show. The producers shouldn’t look any further, they s should stop looking and make Jennings the full time host.

Always Check Your Text Messages

by Al
written by Al

I spoke with a friend today who was excited because his daughter gave birth to a beautiful little girl this past week. After the conversation, he sent me a text with pictures of his granddaughter and a picture of his his daughter Jenna as a baby so I could see the resemblance between the two.  My reply to his text was the following: “Amazing how alert your granddaughter is. Jenna looked a bit chunkier as a baby but she’s beautiful now.” Luckily, I checked the message before sending it because the auto-correct had the corrected the sentence to this: “Amazing how alert your granddaughter is. Jenna looked a bit chunkier as a baby but she’s beautiful nude.” Oops. He would …

Intoxicated Moose?

by Al
written by Al

From an article from the January 22, 2018 New York Post website: “ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Two people died in a rural Alaska village when their snowmobile struck a moose.” it goes on… “Investigators say 28-year-old Charles Lang Jr. and 16-year-old Kayden Morgan were traveling by snowmobile on an Aniak road when a moose stepped out.” Here’s the interesting part… “Troopers say they believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.” So was the moose drinking? Even if Dad hadn’t had a drink or two, having a moose step out in front of you while speeding on a snowmobile probably seals your fate. It doesn’t seem fair to blame alcohol on this one.
