Did it ever seem like a good idea to you to re-process your fast food into a more sophisticated and, er, palatable form? Me neither. But the people who run fancyfastfood.com think otherwse. Witness their McSteak and Potatoes (Big Mac and fries) and the Tacobellini (Fancy Burrito Supreme). There’s a lot of handling of pre-cooked food going on here, which is a little worrisome to me in general, but – egad – look at those Big Mac meat fingerlings…

The Bainbridge Island high school seniors were busy painting the roads with celebratory “Spartans” and “2009″ graffiti this past week. Most were pretty benign, but this giant cock-n-balls showed up at my intersection, complete with “SPARTANS” down the shaft, what appears to be pubic hair, and a rather detailed ejaculation (off-camera). At first I was offended. Ha ha ha, OK no I wasn’t. I’m still laughing about it because apparently, as Sarah frequently reminds me, I am 12. But what does she know?

I have it on authority that the BI Spartans lacrosse team may be the driving force behind the expressive cock-n-ballses and the road graffiti barrage. The story goes that some of these rascally lacrossers even have cock-n-ballses shaved into their haircuts. They are pretty good I hear, having gone to state tournament something something, so I suppose they are entitled to their genitalia symbols.
