Lounge of Tomorrow - WTF Stories of the Week

I just thought of something really wacky the fairs should try next year: take some regular potatoes and cut them into long thin strips (maybe a 1/4" square and as long as the potato). Leave them naked (don't batter them) and just put them in a the deep fryer. Cook until golden brown, drain and lightly salt. Serve them with a dipping sauce made from tomato concentrate, corn syrup (or other sugar), vinegar, salt, herb extracts (including celery), spice and garlic powder.

Now THAT would be really wacky!

Of course you can get french fries at the fair. But to compensate for their relative boringness, they come in 5 lb quantities at minimum.

That literally made me queasy. Probably because my brother used to do that as a kid. He also used to eat mayo with a spoon. Thank gawd he lost that habit years ago.

I wonder if anyone has ever rammed a stick up a whole potato, dunked it in boiling oil, then served it whole?

I stopped reading at that point and contemplated quietly to myself.

I need to STFU or I'm going to be on everyone's Ignore List soon....

Obama want to address school kids at school via tv or dvd. Some parents are outraged and this attempt at indoctination.

They'll keep their kids out of school. :rolleyes:

The address is says it will be about education and encouraging students to achieve their short and long term education goals.

President George Bush gave a speech about the evils of drugs that every class in my school was interrupted to watch.

Okay - here's a story that you just can't make up.

Fire chief is shot in back, by cop, in court, over traffic ticket!

It would seem there's a bit of corruption going on:

Quote:

the hearing apparently escalated to a scuffle, ending when an officer shot Payne from behind.

Prosecutor Lindsey Fairley said Thursday that he didn't plan to file any felony charges against the officer or Payne.

Fairley, reached at his home, said Payne could face a misdemeanor charge stemming from the scuffle

He said he didn't remember the name of the officer who fired the shot.

The judge retired. City hall is locked up. The mayor has an unmarked police car in her driveway. Police car and fire truck were repossessed. WTF is going on in that town!?
