The 7 Hamburgers of the Apocalypse!
I love this! I mean, everyone loves a good burger, but this is ridiculous!
The “No TV” Diet!
Here’s a suggestion for losing weight… Unplug the TV. Or, if you want to live a little more dangerously, pull a “Keith Richards,” and heave it off the balcony (checking first for innocent civilians below), or empty a couple of shells of double-ought buck into it from a safe distance away (the living room?).
