Questions Are Hard.

Sometimes when you don’t expect people to ask you questions you can sound like an idiot when you give an answer right? For instance, I go to the airport every now and then and only one time has the guy checking my ticket ever asked me something. It was such a weird way to question me too and I wasn’t expecting it. I happen to still have my Nevada license so when he randomly spit out “Never hit on 12 right?” it threw me off. Instead of saying what first popped into my head, which was “Are you on drugs” and let it simmer a minute until I understood what he said and why he said it. It made for an awkward 10 seconds. I bring this up because of what just happened in California.

On Friday, Customs officials in L.A. questioned a guy who was acting suspicious before his flight from LAX to Tokyo. When they asked him his reason for traveling, he said he was going to Japan to visit his girlfriend in Hong Kong. They told him those are different countries. He responded, “They are?” Customs searched his suitcase and found 45 Snickers bars filled with meth. He was arrested.

My point is, be prepared for random questions at the airport. Also, the man who thought to mix CRACK (Snickers) and METH is a maniac but I like the way he thinks!

 

Jared From Subway!

Got a chance to talk with Jared Fogle from the Subway commercials about what he was doing in Dayton. He attended the Dayton Dragon’s 5K as well as went and talked to the summer camp kids at the YMCA about childhood obesity and some ways to stay in shape as they grow up. Also discussed some of his mistakes growing up and the challenge he still deals with everyday with his weight. He talks about starting The Jared Foundation as well as his book “Winning Through Losing” that gives some tips that he used while he was losing the weight that can be adapted for those of us who need to shed a few pounds. Check out the full interview after the jump!

2 Please!

Every once in a while the world is shaken up by a great invention. Recently is was the Doritos Locos Tacos and Taco Bell. Great minds came together to bring us a tasty new way to eat tacos. Well there may be ANOTHER way to eat a taco that is equally as brilliant! No one is selling these yet but I’m sure they will be here soon enough. A blogger named Nick (great name BTW) came up with a new taco shell to fix that age old problem of losing the goodness inside the taco to the floor or your clothing. It is simply called the TACONE and it combines the world of the waffle cone and the delicious contents of a taco. Since no one is selling these yet, if you would like to make your own (Hell yeah I do!) then you can follow this link to get the recipe! I see a bright future ahead of us in the world of mexican food in a waffle cone. http://dudefoods.com/tacone/

Don’t Eat That!

Growing up there was one thing I refused to do, and that was work with food. That includes fast food places and restaurants. I don’t want to know what happens back there EVER. I just want to enjoy my food and believe that ignorance is bliss. Luckily I got my wish and stayed as far away from them as possible. If you are like me and would just like to enjoy the food you eat from fast food places and not know too much, you may not want to read any more of this post.

A user on Reddit.com asked fast food workers if they could name any items on their menu that they would NOT order and why. It got a lot of responses and after the jump you can read the highlights! Hope your not eating right now…
