“Chewing Fat”<i>
Ah, just when I thought the fast food lawsuit was yesterday’s news. It lurks back into the news. If you don’t know what I am talking about some lawyers are trying to become famous and make money by bringing down a major corporation.
They claim that the McDonalds is responsible for their customers becoming fat. That the heartless people who run the company are at fault for customer’s diet. Although no one has ever put a gun to my head or to anyone’s head that I know of to eat their food the lawyers think they have a case here. Toss common sense out the door for this one and if the lawyers can find a loophole they will.
I guess its time to start making the kids behind the counter like bartenders and cut off anyone that appears to have eaten too much food. If this is not enough they are blaming the good old fashion Biggie Meal concept for Americans eating more at home. That makes no sense. Just because a restaurant ( I use the term loosely here) gives you big portions it means you will eat more when you make your own meals now? Uh……what about all those buffets should they be sued too? I guess those chains are not big enough for the lawyers to cash in on.
If even let this case get a serious chance its simply just rewarding ignorance everyone can tell that eating McDonalds every day or anything everyday for that matter is not good for you. Why don’t these jack-offs try running around the block instead of complaining about a place that sells cheap meals. Why didn’t these people start ordering the salads when they couldn’t see their feet anymore? Its not like they couldn’t have noticed they were gaining weight. What about schools that have ice cream parties as rewards for their kids? Should the teachers have to pay dental bills?
Its just pathetic how Americans never want to blame anyone but themselves. It’s always someone else’s fault. An example should be set and block this nonsense from the courtrooms before our judical system gets any more comical.
Meanwhile the “Shoe Bomber” just got life in prison plus another 100 years or so. This is when I don’t understand why we don’t just oft the criminal. Why don’t lawyers try to get him for the attempted murder of every person on the entire flight? This is why Id like to see death penalty these cases. Instead, we give him a sentence over a century long. That way the people of the country he has so much contempt and hatred for don’t have to pay for a roof over his head and his meals. I honestly hope the guards got some good shots in on him as he struggled to escape leaving the courtroom. However, if they did I bet they all get sued for beating up a convicted terrorist. I just hope his meals are made out of low fat, because I smell another lawsuit and am sure there is a scumbag lawyer hoping to cash in on this one somewhere.

“I Want to Believe”
The phrase go Eagles remains outside the Somerdale Taco Bell. Remains of a shattered dream however it appears the good people of South Jersey are jumping the next sports bandwagon. Farther down the pike right before you hop on to 295 to go to the game a liquor store hangs the phrase go Flyers. Many local columnists tired to cheer up their loyal readers this past week trying to convince disheartened Eagles fans especially that there was another winner in town.
The Flyers record puts them in the top five in the league believe it or not. If you hear the coach talk you hear the same words echoed by the last four guys that have been behind the bench. How their system is great and everyone is buying into it. How they are up there in the league. I want to believe I really do. But it seems the Flyers are hoping to take their annual mid-season nosedive.
Of course the Flyers wanted to wait till the local sports fans start paying them more attention to start sucking. For many fans the season doesn’t start until the Eagles are ousted. Since the spotlight has spun to them (do we still have an NBA team?) they have lost three straight. Listen to the coaches crunch their numbers to make them appear like they are good like the standings if you want to blindly hop on the bandwagon to no where. If you are a realist look deeper. Look how they have no one who can score constantly. Look how the all important power play sucks ass and has been literally 30th at times this season.
Read the quotes in the papers the same lame excuses. Oh we thought we would just have a home game and not try at all and we would magically win. Oh we played against a bad team so why bother trying at all? The minute one play goes wrong they all go completely retarded and regress to the mentality of pee wee hockey players. For God sakes how hard is it to realize to they have to shoot the freaking puck on the power play. You have one more player than the other team. All they do is pass it like a hot potato and at times they are the weakest most obvious plays that anyone with a quarter of brain can see coming. Their favorite lame pass is point to point so the opposition can easily pick off the puck. When the do shoot the puck they make sure that the player who shoots it is at a horrendous angel that could only result in a goal if it was a video game. Either that or their shots from the post miss be a mile. They have zero ability to overcome and kind of adversity. Something they have lacked for years, and that’s why they are losers.
I drug my sick ass out to the game last night and all those heartless pricks did was skate around like zombies. I think the only shots they had on call was accidental from the dumping and chasing. No wonder people show up late and skip games now. Something considered a sin in years past in these parts. All I ask is lose a good game in a fun. Like good down swinging. Every game they lose you know they are going to lose from the drop of the puck. You can tell when they skate in a daze and apathetically pursue the puck. You know when the ice it 100 times in the first period its going to be a game to write off.
I know I know it’ a long season. But you know damn right well that they are going to lose a bunch in a row again right before the end of the season. That way they are in the same mental state they always are to get ousted from the post-season like a bunch of zombies. I want to buy into what the coach is saying how the team has improved, but it still looks like the same team. Many fans think they wont make it past the first round again. The sprit at the FU center was really low last night. Even if they do manage to past the Devils in the standings (look for a good old heartless lost to the NJ tomorrow night) they won’t impress me until they win four freaking games in the post season. I don’t think that’s even asking much really.
The All-Star game is this weekend, and that’s when a bunch of GMs get together and make deals. I pray Clarke will make a big trade to rejuice the team. However I know he will just get some asshole who has being playing in Europe cause no one in the NHL wants his has-been ass. Luckily those type of players can always find a home in South Philly. Does anyone know what Esa Tikkenan is doing these days?
