(For Some Unknown Reason) A Halal Cart Posts Calorie Info
It’s been all carts all the time this week! But this one was too good not to post… “How many calories is there in a plate of street meat” is a question I get pretty often. I guess there are a lot of people out there who are interested. I am not one of them. Unfortunately, I spotted this (accidentally, of course) posted on a cart in Midtown East. It might be worth noting, the calorie laws that went into effect earlier in the year, only apply to chain restaurants… not carts. I’m not sure whether the white sauce is included in the 680 calories that make up a lamb over rice platter. A good reporter would have asked… but like I said before- I really don’t want to know.
UPDATE: A savvy commenter pointed out that those numbers are for 100 grams, which is less than a quarter pound of food. I feel like an order of street meat weighs at least half a pound… which means that sign is kind of misleading!

Is my wife still here? She’s not answering her bell.

I love that dictionary.com defines fescennine as licentious..

Chucky, I pissed away your 401k.

As is readily apparant from my CV, a brief excerpt of which I have posted on my rather spectacular My Space page, I do not own a 401K nor do I need to.
401K’s are for little people. Working stiffs.
I have a enormously substantial real estate portfolio that generates returns that a man like you could never possibly fathom.
So what you urinated was perhaps the lifesavings of the likes of Blondie or Mamcita or even Wayne.

You just said far more about yourself than I, or anyone,ever could .
You’re a very small frightend ‘man’.

CockChug sounds testy. Must have found the wife in the stable pulling a Catherine the Great with Wilbur the Well-Hung Clydesdale

I welcome you to my My Space page where I have posted photographs of our real estate holdings, as well as my musings on topics of interest to me.

Actually, DocChuck is not a “small man”. Nothing about him *TWITCH* is small, except, well…..I guess I shouldn’t *TWITCH* speak ill of my landlord. Also, the insides of his *TWITCH* rectum are very small, I can certainly attest to that, as I *TWITCH* live here. That said, don’t forget that I will happily bite your nuts off.

On the subject of inaccuraccy, we should also keep in mind that this is the cart owner’s math. Not only would he deflate the numbers, but he may have accidently fudged his math. And also, what labels did he use to compile these figures? Where did he go to school? Was he the top of his class, or did he just squeak by? All questions that need to be addressed before determining the true caloric value of a chicken and rice platter.

I know it’s months late. But dott is retarded.
I am hereby RESCINDING the invitation to my horsefarm, Mr Rudy McBagel.
You are coarse and fescennine. Your sexist and degrading comment was shameful.
I will not let you near my wife under any circumstances.
