My older son gave me a hug tonight and asked, "Where did you go, Dad?" I guess I've
lost too much weight lately (40 pounds since last September).

Anyone want to go out for bacon cheeseburgers?

1. That's some pretty excessive weight loss there, Red...
That's some pretty excessive weight loss there, Red. I've got co-workers who would give up a paycheck for your secret.

But if you;re up for a splurge, might I suggest two foot-long chili cheese hot dogs from Sonic, plus a side of chili-rings? <In my best Andy Griffith> "MMMmmmm, that's some mighty good eatin'."






(I hope the weight loss is intentional and not... you know, something else, otherwise I come across as a real jerk. And even though I am, I don't like to come across that way)

2. Gawd, I'd give up a toe to have a Sonic within 300 miles of where I live...

17. No, it wasn't intentional, but no, you do NOT "come across as a jerk." Really,
you don't.

4. Make sure you dip it in 85% cocoa-content chocolate and then deep fry it
:P

Aisle pass. Thanks anyway, and congratulations! :fistbump:

30. The chocolate part was for those that are into
"chocolate-covered bacon"

Deep-frying a whole burger would be akin to a "Monte Cristo" so why not? :D

7. I would if I could, but I can't. The nearest Sonic is about 300 miles from here.
I'm jealous of you, dammit.

34. Yeah, it's good stuff.
Potato pancakes, kielbalsa, pierogies, and excellent "typically American" fare... pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc. Oh, and stuffed crepes. Yum! Look up Nita's in Willi... :D

18. Uh, no, actually I lost the weight from having MS and chronic pain; the burgers are what I hope
will get back the 20 out of those 40 pounds that I really can't afford to not have.

I don't eat ice cream.

23. A Primanti's? Hell, I'll pay, and pick up the taxi fare as well. It's been over 30 years since
I've had one of those.

28. Tomorrow, I believe I'll do that. It's the only place in Connecticut that callls it a "hoagie,"
instead of referring to it as a "sub" or a "grinder."
