So this past week was pretty eventful for Man B Que. Our long anticipated, new website was finally launched. We have more content to add and some pages to work on, but at least it’s up and ready to go. So it’s not exactly 100% but it’s getting really close. We have a site launch party scheduled for the 26th at Small Bar in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood. I expect you all to be there.
Like most of you, I spend a lot of time on the internet. I’m always looking for new recipes, websites and just about anything else that I think would be good for Man B Que. In between my endless searches I find stories that just HAVE to be spread. You know, those stories that make you laugh or just make you chuckle and mumble, “seriously, what the fuuuuuck?”
The first one that I came across was on gizmodo.com.
So some grocery chain in North Carolina decides to erect a scented billboard. It’s a piece of steak on a fork that billows out the scent of grilled meat. This sounds like heaven, right? Well, apparently not for Adam Frucci, the author of this post. (adam@gizmodo.com) Adam feels that the “meatstink” that the billboard blasts is “gross.” He actually sympathizes for the “poor” clerk working at the neighboring gas station. I guess the gasoline fumes this poor clerk deals with are more pleasant than the scent of grilled meat. After his weak, crybaby remarks he states that if something like this went up in his neighborhood, he would burn it down. This made me chuckle and say, ‘seriously, what the fuuuuuck?’ Adam, I highly doubt you would do that, it’s just a hunch I’ve got, little guy.
The other story that had me laughing was more local. Some guy in Elgin, IL is being held on a $45,000 bond for beating some guy up with a grill scraper. Apparently beating someone in the head with a grill scraper in Elgin is considered aggravated battery. At a Man B Que this would be considered mild entertainment. To top it off, the guy that was beat was the cousin of the attacker’s boss. Seriously, what the fuuuuuck? “Can I get a raise? The bail is $20,000 more than what you’re paying me, you cheap asshole.”
Have a great weekend!
