Surviving Burgergeddon

     So as many as you know, Burger King had a huge promotion yesterday selling Whoppers at the reduced price of 88¢ due to it being August eighth (8/8). Now if you went to one of these establishments you would have most likely saw a horrific scene of cars backed up from the drive thru for almost a whole block, people swarming the inside of the restaurant, and employees frantically flame broiling burgers in the back. And due to all this chaos, the average order took about a half hour or more to finally get your food. I personally waited an hour, the main reason was because they lost about 50 of the order tickets. They were calling "20" and then orders were being called from "74". I could see that the tickets out of the machine were being neglected and ended up piling in the trash can below it. So anyway, getting a Whopper yesterday was a huge fiasco that wasn't thought about in advanced too well. But I did get my Whopper for only 88¢.


On a side note, Burgergeddon was totally worse than Carmegeddon. 

The End is Over

So a few hours ago the Carmegeddon contsruction ended and the 405 opened up a good 12 hours ahead of schedule, kudos to the workers. And as you might have guessed, I did infact survive. The media went overboard with predictions of the “diaster” that Carmegeddon was going to be, and scared everyone stupid. But due to all those overhyped tactics, most everyone seemed to stay home and off the freeways leaving it wide open for me to clear across all of L.A. With no problems. My mom kept saying, “I wish it was Carmegeddon every weekend.” And if the freeways weren't clear due to everyone staying home, then maybe since it's Carmegeddon everyone else was just raptured?

The End is Near!

     So for those of you not in the Southern California area, today is the eve of Carmegeddon. Which is what the media has dubbed this weekend since a 10 mile stretch of the I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass will be closed due to maintenance. 

     Los Angeles has been going mad for the past month talking about this. I've heard such claims as the 405 will be backed up in traffic as far as the Mexican border. As for me, I don't know how long I'll survive during Carmegeddon, but I hope I survive as well as I did on the rapture in May.

A little early there buddy.
