banana can can

My sister used to have a friend who was really into the band Europe in the 80's. In particular, her favorite song was "The Final Countdown". She considered herself the ultimate Europe fan, which stumped us terribly the day we discovered her singing the chorus "It's Banana Can Can" instead of correct lyrics "It's The Final Countdown". But let's give her a break. It's an easy thing to miss when the album and hit song (her favorite song) are both titled..."The Final Countdown". Hmmmm.

Anyway, I have two days left at my current job and today I found myself humming "The Final Countdown", which made me giggle a little.

heist

I just got news that a friend's grill was stolen in the wee hours of the night this weekend. At first I thought he was referring to his gold and diamond teeth set, but alas, he was referring to his enormous barbeque that used to reside on his patio.

These must have been professionals and to be honest I think this pretty much gets classified in the heist category. I'm sure the place was cased and the crime carefully plotted. I'm pretty sure they must have posed as movers with a rented truck due the sheer size of the aforementioned grill. A full-grown human could fit in this thing. Unbelievable.

The irony is that my friend had just nabbed the "Top Chef" title in part because of his grilled pork during an 8-hour amateur cooking competition on Sat. It's just SAD.

Look people, I know times are tough but for God's sake, get your own grill. My summer probably won't be the same now. Jerks.
