Food trucks officially jump the shark

May 17th, 2012

Burger King food truck

The Whole Foods food truck was embarrassing enough. But now that Burger King has entered the game, the game is officially over.

The items sold by Burger King do not qualify as “food” by any normal standard, and their attempt to disguise this fact by placing them inside of an imitation food truck seems eerily reminiscent of a cargo cult.

So next time you’re hungry, don’t check Twitter, don’t go to Off the Grid, and stay away from the sOmA sTR3@t f00D pArK. You’ll have to go to a restaurant instead — thanks to Burger King, food trucks are over and done.

Einstein’s desk drawings

Desk drawings

Okay, I doubt Einstein really drew this. But the desks at his old university are very old, and many of them had fun drawings like the one above.

And in all fairness, the school has seen many other famous folks as well including Karl Marx, Max Planck, and the Brothers Grimm. Perhaps Karl Marx drew this as a critique of the failed capitalist state? We may never know.

What the fuck is this??

What the fuck is this??

I’m inclined to agree with the vandal here: what the fuck is this mystery box attached to the light pole? It doesn’t seem to have any wires sticking out. If it’s electric it must have a battery… or maybe it’s using one of those wireless power things like in an electric toothbrush charger.

Or maybe it’s just an empty plastic box.

Regardless, the box is a mystery. Do you know what it is? Drop me a line. Otherwise I might have to go out there with a screwdriver and find out the hard way.

Smart Meters and cell phone towers are putting voices in your head

April 13th, 2011

Ever wonder why people are afraid of the “radiation” coming out of cell phone towers and Smart Meters? This explains why.

Makes sense.

Almost seems as though some schizophrenic person saw the ads for Elsewhere Public Works and thought it was real.

Say bye to plywood

April 13th, 2011

And say hello to the new exterior for Locanda, which for some reason still has a sign for Ramblas.

Locanda

The opening date was pushed back to March, but clearly that didn’t happen. Anyway, us pedestrians are sure to be thankful that the plywood is gone.
