I just had my first Five Guys burger. The "little burger" with only one beef pattie. Topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, sauteed mushrooms and A-1 sauce. It was delicious.
But they call it "Five Guys" because each burger has enough fat for five guys.
26 grams.
A Wendy's single has 16 grams.
To be fair, though, a Wendy's single also has 870 grams of sodium. My little burger only had 380.
And it was a bun full of deliciousness.
So yes, God help me, I'm going to Five Guys again.
Sing along with me now:
Nothing you could do would make me untrue to Five Guys
(Five Guys)
Nothing you could say would make me turn away from Five Guys (Five Guys)
I'm sticking to Five Guys like a stamp to a letter
'Cause the grease and the fat, they make it better!
I'm telling you from the start, I'm clogging up my heart with Five Guys.

ODE TO THE FAIR
I grew up going to the Ohio State Fair, most often with
my buddy Kathy. I have warm, schmaltzy feelings about it,
so what better way to pay homage than to rip off a song
from The Sound of Music?
(to the tune of My Favorite Things)
Lemonade shake ups
and the Osmond Brothers
Slicers and dicers
and cows carved in butter
Tom Jones and Flippo
and Smokey the Bear
These are the things
that we loved at the Fair
The Himalaya
and vinegar French fries
Goldfish in baggies
we’d win after three tries
Spin art and sweet corn
and Sonny and Cher
These are the things
that we loved at the Fair
Every August
There were freak shows
There was food on sticks
So hot and so humid but we didn’t care
We loved going to

UNDERARMAGEDDON
When one shaves, one is subject to razor burn. When one has razor burn, it is best to discontinue shaving. Still, when the area no longer being shaved is the underarm area, one has to consider ones options.
That’s why this friend of mine thought depilatory might be the answer. Remove the hair without re-razoring the razor burn. Nair for sensitive skin was purchased and applied. Instructions were to leave it on three to ten minutes.
Sure, it stung a little at first. The price one pays for beauty. With each tick of the clock, however, the price skyrocketed.
Sting? Suddenly there was a brushfire under her arms.
FIRE! FI-YERRRRRR!
It felt as if my friend had skipped the Nair and used lighter fluid and a match for hair removal. She attempted damage control with a wet washcloth, but the heat was too intense. So she threw herself under a cold shower, arms above her head, praying for deliverance.
Relief is slow in coming. The burns will take some time to heal. My friend's underarms are raw and an incandescent shade of red but, like scorched earth, they are free of growth.
