Squishing Sniffy

For some reason this topic came up at work today.  Back when I was still living out in Vancouver a local performance artist announced his plans to publicly execute a rat in the name of art.  His plan was elegant in its simplicity: he would place the rat on a piece of canvas, affix another canvas to to bottom of a 25 kilogram concrete block and at the appointed time the canvases would meet.

It didn't quite go off as planned...

More burger stuff

The local group stopped at Blondie's on Saturday evening so that Pierre (pictured in this post) and Wolfstarr (whose hands are featured in my previous burger post) could have a showdown.  The contest hinged not so much on who could finish his burger the fastest, but who could finish his burger at all.  As added incentive, Max Coyote and I both agreed to pick up the tab if they finished their meals.  I wanted to do an "all or nothing" deal, but Max convinced me that we should prorate it based on the amount of burger consumed.

Ultimately it didn't matter either way because they not only finished their burgers, but licked their plates clean after.  I don't know what kind of awful effect eating a 2-pound burger will have on a man's intestinal tract, but I suspect those two are finding out.
