Chalk up another meaty milestone for Don Gorske. The Fond du Lac man downed his 20,000th Big Mac sandwich Monday, while surrounded by spectators at a local McDonald's restaurant. He already had made the "Guinness World Records" book for eating a record number of Big Macs before he hit number 19,000 in March 2003. He has been eating the fast food sandwiches since 1972 at a rate of at least one a day, and said he has eaten a Big Mac from every state in the union. Still, the 6-foot Gorske has maintained his weight at about 170 pounds. Take that you stinking jihadis! America triumphs again.

Sorry! (/contrite off)
Thought this a Michael M(oo)re story.

I stopped eating at McDonald's when I got a bad case of food poisoning last year after trying their "new" McNuggets (white meat). Aside from getting sick, I thought the old McNuggets tasted better.
Chickens are vile creartures. If one of the stupid birds falls over dead, the others will promptly eat it.
Has anyone ever heard of a cannibal cow?
My first wife and I raised chickens while we lived on a farm in the Texas Panhandle. They were her pet project and she was worried about the coyotes getting them.
One night she woke me up about a ruckus out in the chicken coop. "There's a coyote gettin' the chickens," she squawked.
"Who cares?" I asked as I tried to pull the pillow over my head.
She did, it turned out. I looked up in time to see her grab my Lee-Enfield from of the closet, chamber a round, and aim it through the (fortunately) open window.
It was my turn to squawk, "DON'T FIRE THAT IN TH---"
BOOOOM!
She was a good shot, being a farm girl and all, but she missed the coyote and hit one of her precious chickens instead.
.303 Norma softpoint, 10 yards.
There were feathers everywhere the next day, but the unfortunate chicken's coop-mates had devoured the rest overnight.

I would hate to work near his cubicle. 20K Macs must put a wonderously think cake on the inside of his blood vessels. His plasma must be pumping at an unbeleiveable presure. A paper cut might release a stream of high pressure fluid capable of shearing off a coworker's limb.

As the great Jerry Seinfeld said " If Chicken McNuggets come from where I McThink they do, I'm not going to McEat 'em!"

Bragging about how many Big Macs you've eaten is like boasting about all the prostitutes you've laid. A dubious honor to lay claim to, even in the best of light.
Two Canadian women who were among the first same-sex couples to get legally married, may become the first same-sex couple in Canada to get a divorce. The two, who decided to call it quits after getting married last summer, are trying to get the country's Divorce Act amended so they can go their separate ways, a lawyer for one of the women said on Wednesday. "Under the Divorce Act, a court can only dissolve a marriage between a man and a woman," Hannaford said. Oops! We didn't consider that one.
The couple are asking the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to grant them a divorce and deem the Divorce Act's definition of spouse -- "of a man or woman who are married to each other" -- unconstitutional. The petition asks the court to order the phrase "to each other" be dropped. "If that doesn't happen, it is not possible for same-sex couples to divorce," Hannaford said. "That is their dilemma. They are married, they both want to have their marriage dissolved and they both want to get on with their lives, and right now, they can't." That's a lot of straight people's dilemma too: stay for the kids; stay for the place to live; stay because one has no marketable skills.
The two women were married just days after a landmark Ontario court decision in June 2003 opened the door to same-sex marriages. But after a five-year relationship, the marriage lasted only five days before they separated. Moved too fast? Well, there is that old joke a lesbian friend of mine tells: What do two lessbians do on their second date? A: Rent a U-Haul.
