Did a google image search hoping a ridiculous picture would be one of the first responses for faux hawk to mock PSUsarge* and 50% of the pics on the first page of images were of David Beckham. So that's worth noting.

*Note: Why isn't sarge capitalized?

you know idk why it isn't capitalized. the name came from myself and CFP's habit of calling each other "sarge" all the time, of course after our own gary matthews, and i felt it most appropriate to add to my name on BSG.

and FWIW the motivation behind the fauxhawk is simple for me:

---just got out of a long relationship with a kind of controlling girl who would have cut my throat for having one (overcompensation? maybe a bit)
AND
---realized this is basically the last time in my life i'll ever be able to attempt one

so i'm keeping it at least through finals, maybe over break too we'll see.

Some dude at Urban Saloon called football fans "Neanderthals" a couple times. I took offense, told him so, and talked to him and the two chicks with him for like two hours. I still think he's a fuck face.

I have a fauxhawk on my driver's license picture. It looks ridiculous.

Uh...

Burger King uses these marketing tactics to get you to visit their restaurant. You win because you get a pizza at a discounted price.

I'm going to have Burger King for lunch I think

It's hard to argue, well from any perspective other than watching one's waistline, with spending $2.14 on two BK Double Cheeseburgers. Tasty, filling and cheap as hell.

I like to think that the first guy that discovered he could answer trivia questions on radio shows using the internet arbitraged the shit out of that before the stations caught on and won thousands in cash and prizes.

So cheap that it causes lawsuits!

Interesting little battle shaping up in the fast-food realm, and it isn't between restaurants -- it is within one. According to the Associated Press, Burger King (BKC) franchisees are suing the company over its recent $1 double cheeseburger promotion.

The reason for the lawsuit is that the franchisees are losing money on the deal because the company is setting maximum menu prices, which Burger King is not allowed to do. The National Franchise Association (NFA), which represents more than 80% of Burger King's U.S. franchise owners, says that the promotion is forcing restaurant owners to sell the quarter-pound burger at a 10-cent loss. One Burger King franchisee said that the burger in question typically costs franchisees $1.10.

So, people are going to BK and just getting the burger, not ordering a drink (where the mark up is probably close to 1000%) or fries (mark up probably 50%)? I mean, I often don't order the drink, because I only drink beer, water, and coffee, but I thought that was unusual.

I just get the burgers and bring them home where I'll have them with a soda I got from the super market or a glass of water.

So, you're part of the problem. As am I. Except I don't go to burger king much. Lil' Vulture prefers DQ and their popcorn shrimp.

Yeah, that's what I do. A two-liter of soda at Giant is 89 cents, and you can get a huge bag of fries for under $3 (not the pantywaist thin fries BK sells).

you don't ask for the liter cola
