Another angle on a shake

This is the Chocolate Malted Crunch Shake from Carl's Jr. I don't see the crunchy bits or what's in there to make it crunchy, but sometime I'll go to a different Carl's Jr. location and try again.

From top of the shake

It's hard to tell by looking at this shake from above but this is the "New! Chocolate Malted Crunch" Shake by Carl's Jr. I still like the strawberry shake better, but I think new flavors are the in thing and my guess is the shake will grow on me.

About a week and a half later (after what I wrote above and delayed posting) ... brings me to right now. There will be another picture in the next post as I just got back from Carl's Jr. where I got that shake again, using the drive-thru, but I wasn't able to see what makes the shake the way it is and the picture won't show much either.

I am posting my pictures from over the years. The picture at a Burger King was during the time of the first Fast Food Yummy blog and as I recall, my friend wasn't able to be there.

Talk is action too

This is a Burger King restaurant in Portland, Oregon, where I used to hang out with a guy who is a great friend. There are lots of nice memories. We also went to other fast food restaurants. We liked to talk about pro sports and look at the sports section of the newspaper. I liked to drink and drink and drink soda and we would talk and talk and talk.

Same place as last time

Sitting there in the car, parked of course, drinking the drink (pictured below) which I bought in the McDonald's drive-thru. I also listened to important news and thought about buying another one but went to Jack in the Box a short time later, ordered a strawberry shake and the girl working there at the drive-thru told me it was the last shake of the night because that was the last of ice cream they had. I didn't get a photo but that shake was one of the best I've had lately. So I'd better write that down. Last night, in a different location, I went to another Jack in the Box drive-thru and ordered the strawberry shake again, and it was just as outstanding. And the girl who gave me the shake, kept saying goodbye to me, and that's more than I can say for some ex-girlfriends. Wow! But she was just being nice. And that's what I like. Yes, I'm available and I can treat. No, I'm not being forward, I meant I'll take her, or someone like her, out for something sweet such as a shake. Oh yeah, this isn't a dating site, but humor does tend to cloud my judgment. I did choose to make this a very long paragraph so hopefully people will get bored and won't read it too closely and I won't get the miss-association of women wanting men to act like robots to come down too hard on me. Unless of course, that feels good. haha See, I should write that (haha) all the time, so people without a sense of humor won't get bent too far out of shape. Also, I don't want to see what that looks like.

How great is it?

McDonald's frozen strawberry lemonade was great Sunday night when I had it for the first time. I can't say how great, but I'm leaning towards 'very' although it would be a good idea for me to drink this again a few more times. And it's an idea I like very much, so that says something too.

Good Shake

Carl's Jr. has a "new" shake, and maybe I'll get to try it soon. I decided to drink a typical kind of shake on Saturday, so I ordered a strawberry shake. This shake is as good or better than many basic shakes I've had before, but it's very difficult to to decide which one was the best.

Sweet strawberry smoothie

This Strawberry Smoothie at Jack in the Box was very sweet and yummy.

I'll get it again... Oh yeah, I already did.

Eating fries, listening to songs

Wendy's "Natural-Cut Fries" with Sea Salt are good tasting fries, but I've always liked the flavor of Wendy's french fries. I will try these fries again during daytime hours.

It's my fault for getting to Wendy's right at or just before closing time, but the fries I ordered were not very warm. They were still warm enough for me, especially since I was hungry.

I like it when I can sit in the car and eat fries while listening to songs on the radio. That's a lot of fun, or at least as much fun as one guy can have by himself while sitting in the car with not much else to do.

Jack in the Box truck, the part I care about

After doing some more shopping (a week ago), I went looking for a new menu item at a fast food restaurant and I wound up over at Wendy's restaurant. When I got there, immediately I spotted this truck (on a back street) and the advertising on the side of the truck really caught my attention because what I saw looked very yummy. Since I hadn't tried one of Jack in the Box smoothies, I did go there in another town on the drive back.

I was tired and hungry so I used the drive-thru at Wendy's after getting the picture. I was lucky to make it there before they closed for the night so I ordered Wendy's new fries.

OPEN is always much better than closed

Thought I would be late getting there but I had plenty of time to look around and buy the two CDs which I wrote about in the previous posts. This picture was taken after I was done shopping and had gone outside.

Beautiful Rocking Metal

I was glad to find that the Record Exchange still had the CD I'd called about -- "Clinic For Dolls" by UnSun --while other stores I contacted earlier hadn't even heard of them.

"Clinic For Dolls" is a powerful, enchanting blend of rocking Gothic metal and beautiful singing by their female vocalist who, in my opinion, made UnSun a serious contender for best band of the year in 2010 in rock and rock/metal. Foo Fighters' new album was released last week and it's also great!

Sorry, I had a problem because my finger slipped, accidentally bumping the wrong key and the blog published but the title wasn't ready yet.

Double Like

The Record Exchange in Boise, Idaho was the first store where I purchased the new CD "Wasting Light" by Foo Fighters. I bought the CD again at Fred Meyer, and maybe I'll buy it one or two more times. What can I say, I like Foo Fighters.

McCafe Chocolate Banana Shake

At McDonald's, I decided to order the McCafe Banana Chocolate Shake, and I'm sure glad I did. It was very sweet, smooth, and delicious! Also, this shake was cold, not runny, and just right because it was only a slightly thick shake and I could drink it with a straw.

It was Thursday after the usual dinner time for most people, shortly after I bought the two CDs. I didn't eat a meal at McDonald's because I wasn't hungry for a lot of food, and you understand, to write about many fast foods & drinks, I must go to many places and taste those foods and drinks. My plan was to try some menu choices from other fast food restaurants.

However, I can say that I really like this particular McDonald's restaurant, and I've written about it before for this blog. I didn't dine in this time, and instead went to the drive-thru because I wanted to go some other places. Let me add that this was a very satisfying shake because it was smooth and easy on my stomach, and a good choice for me. I decided not to drink coffee for two weeks and also be careful about the foods I'm eating, so a little later I tried a smoothie at another fast food restaurant, and really liked it.

A better look at me in pink

I'm going to show off my pink shirt because it's spring and I hope a pretty girl picks me by mistake, thinking I'm a flower.

Sorry for not having Foo Fighters posters behind me this time, so ladies you'll just have to settle for me. Yes, I am the kind they settle for. (joking)

The Foos are cool and a great band, but after buying their new CD, I needed to go in search of food or something to drink.

Outside n' Rockin' Inside

After buying two CDs, I went outside and decided to snap some pictures and here is one of them. Click it and you'll see promo posters -- with the band members and some words about their new album/CD -- in the window of the record store. I bought that new CD and another one and hope to listen to them tonight and on Saturday.

Coca-Cola Truck

I like all kinds of views and this is one of them.

Note: This is not a recent photo.

Malibu Chicken

Malibu Chicken at Sizzler was my Grandma's favorite. My family and I went there many times to celebrate birthdays and on other occasions. Three of us, my mom, dad, and I celebrated Grandma's birthday Monday although she passed away about two years ago. I ate Double Malibu Chicken (photo below) in honor of her on her birthday. Who knows, maybe she can somehow sense how much we miss her. It's coming up on two years since she passed away. Our memories and love for her will always be very important to us.

Sizzler for dinner

Double Malibu Chicken with fries.

Getting a Feel good

After having been sick and feeling lousy a week ago, and recovering by drinking water and eating a lot of chicken noodle soup and broth with crackers, I wanted a soda that wouldn't be hard on my stomach and that's why I decided on Fanta Strawberry. Besides, I lift 12 packs of soda enough and -- you know... I'll be back.

Love the Strawberry flavor

I drank Fanta Strawberry tonight to celebrate the memory of my Grandma's birthday. She passed away about two years ago, and I love her very much and forever.

Oreo in Oregon

This is the Oreo shake from Burger West in Ontario, OR and it was a pretty good shake, and a coping mechanism to deal with the fantasy overdose of thinking about being in a tropical paradise. But I don't want to cope for the moment (which is very, very, very long moment indeed), I prefer an unreal relationship, so I bought a bikinis poster at Kmart. You know, just because I believe in supporting our 'local' stores. I'm going to try to read this backwards and maybe it's funnier that way. Could be, could be.

The 'S' word for today is "Shake"

I needed to cool myself off after writing about you know who earlier today (see previous post, below), so I went for a shake to a town where I rarely see pretty girls. That sure brings me back to reality fast.
Thank goodness one 'S' word does exist around here and that is "shake" but I don't mean boogieing down in any manner of speaking.

This is Burger West (or let's just allow all caps "BURGER WEST") and while I didn't order the "RANCH HAND WITH FRYS", I later read over at the "I love Burger West!!!!!!!!!"Facebook public group that this is one of the main cravings of customers at this fast food joint.

My choice was the Oreo shake (pictured) and look at the above photo for a better camera angle which shows how the top of the shake appeared after I lifted up the lid. The photo was cropped because some guy walked out and was in the corner of it and that happens sometimes.

Paris Hilton car wash video

This is not necessarily for anyone under 18 (although I didn't see words saying that under the video and I didn't post or upload this video to YouTube, I have no connection to Carl's Jr. and sad to say, no connection to Paris, although I sure would like to go there sometime... haha), also this is not for the anti-burger crowd because I don't want to be blamed for converting anyone to eating burgers and I don't eat burgers often but it's a choice (you know just like being a church lady who doesn't like guys who like pretty girls, err... I meant pretty big burgers, which goes double for the anti-swimsuit and anti-bikini mob who wants to turn a man and his many desires into a cold, unfeeling robot. And just when you thought the last sentence would put you right to sleep, this isn't for anyone who is just plain 'anti'... so anyway, why are so many beings being 'anti'? I have no idea. Maybe if I get struck by holy or unholy lightning I will just do a simple link with words something like a very yummy girl, I mean burger commercial.

I do joke around here but feel this was a great commercial! It doesn't hurt anyone except those who ate too many burgers and gained weight. But this also makes me want to go to a beach and chase pretty girls, or of course just go walking on the beach and lose weight that way.

Note: I did not write the title or post/upload the video to YouTube. I have no known serious or money connection to Carl's Jr. or Paris Hilton. Oh yeah, dammit! Next time I fall asleep I'll attempt to make that connection to her. haha

Waiting

Waiting for the Thai restaurant to open for dinner, I was in my car listening to some songs on the radio. It's a fun way to get through otherwise meaningless moments in time. I heard a Foo Fighters song and it made me feel happy. Can you tell? Oh yeah, that's just the side of my face. haha

Down to Everything

People may be wondering what is going on here these days. I don't know. Just gotta say life is tough and I'm down to everything. Yeah, that's classic me. I'm not down to nothing, I'm down to everything. I could write some damn poetry but what, do I look like Emily Dickinson to you? Don't I wish. Yeah, she was the greatest poet ever. I'm right about that too.

Soothing and yummy Thai Iced Tea

This is a Thai Iced Tea from Sa-wad-dee Thai Restaurant in Meridian, Idaho. It was the only way I could think of to soothe my stomach after I ate a very hot and spicy Thai green curry and rice. At first I didn't think I would need it so I drove off and got some more money from the teller machine, but I returned to the restaurant and bought the tea to make me feel better. I stirred the tea before taking this picture because I was in a hurry to start drinking it, and I sipped it before realizing maybe I should take a picture to show people how good it looks. Maybe next time I'll have a picture of how it looks the way they served it to me. I liked it a lot and it kept me from, shall I say shooting off like a rocket into space due to so much hot food inside me. Okay, that's not really possible, but you get the point.

Happy Birthday

Paris Hilton!!!

We must have Freedom for all people

I don't think they allow this in Iran. Not yet anyway... a very sexy commercial, well I'll put the link to it in the next post. But first let me say this...My idea for dictators is make them serve potators, I mean french fries and burgers for like the next 20 years to life, after they step down that is, then they will know what it means to be a public servant.

Seriously, yeah it's time for freedom and it always was! Be careful, be safe, but keep demanding freedom, wherever you live! I wish everyone the best in their lives.

Next time I'll post the link to Paris as fast as fast food commercials can get me excited... to eat fast food, of course. haha

Note: I don't think 'potators' is an English word but it sounded funny.

Because taking a J-idol in a maid's costume on a cruise could be almost as much fun as letting Jeannie out of her bottle

Well, like I said before, it would be fun to take a pretty and cute model, or any gal who always dreamed of being a model in a maid's costume somewhere romantic for a happy time.

A cruise comes to mind, and I got the idea from one of my favorite rock songs. It's a great song and I will write seriously about the song on my music blog.

I can't take a real maid, or housekeeper like the TV character Alice on The Brady Bunch although I'm sure they are nice, but I don't wanna have to say something like... "Honey, kids, Alice, everyone pack your bags, coz we're going on a cruise."

I'll leave that to Mr. Brady because I'm not a father or father-figure, and actually I looked up to Greg, as much as a kid watching a TV show could look up to an actor playing a teenager in a sitcom family (yeah man, like that!), and I was 'wild about' Marcia because she is a "real groovy chick", and at times I was slightly annoyed by Cindy and Bobby. So I was glad they were just characters. Now who were those kids in the middle?... oh whatever!, because after all it's always about "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!!!"... nah, I know who they are but it's not funny to know.

Then of course, there's Yuko Ogura, the Japanese idol (not in The Brady Bunch, though that would have made The Brady Bunch better, but she wasn't born yet.) You know what, she's funny in a very charming way, cute as (meow! meow!) the Hello Kitty...Come to think of it, are they related? No, I'm just joking. Also, I've never seen them together. So you know...well, sometimes cats are girls in disguise, as I learned at an early age while watching this episode of Star Trek with a black cat turning into a way too sexy lady. She is so hot she makes me melt every time, and in the cute way, there's the effect of Yuko, and of course Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, but it does become rather annoying to think of her that way each time. I was younger than Marcia when I fell for her so it was just a small crush.

However, back to Yuko and the Japanese idols and other female idols everywhere, especially on Earth... after I count all my favorite female idols the number is somewhere around 335,223 favorites. But I can't take 335,223 on a cruise now can I, because the ship would sink. Well, this clearly wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, it was awful, but thanks to editing I survived. I'm done! For now...

No wait! Just like Major Nelson, I got too tired to notice how beautiful Jeannie is. Not really! And if I'd only been 20 years older back then, she would have been mine, all mine!

I'm chicken if I am what I eat, but Miley just scared the chicken out of me

Fried chicken from KFC is good anytime and anywhere.

On a separate note, Pamela Anderson was chosen as PETA's Person of the Year for 2010. Congratulations! I like her and hope to see more of her on TV like before, but I don't watch much TV, so I'll just think about her.

This is to take nothing away from her, but I would have chosen Miley Cyrus as person of the year, or at least the person who almost turns me off on eating chicken. Well, there is, you know, that video with Miley strutting around in feathers. The scary part is she either is or almost is eagle, umm I mean legal. What videos can we expect from her now?! Okay don't think too much about this if you need some rest. I'm done with this topic.

Actually, I did support her, by buying one of her CDs in 2009 and sending it as a present for the birthdays of my nieces who actually are my friends daughters. Although, let it be known, if they ever become singers or musicians, I hope they turn out more like Stereolab, whose CD I gave them earlier. And then there's Tokio Hotel, but don't ask me what kind of bird that is on Bill Kaulitz's shoulder in a commercial -- with Alice Cooper? The bird is a jerk and I do think Bill is good vocalist. And the song "Monsoon" by Tokio Hotel did get in my 100 Best Rock Songs List. When I started typing a little while ago, I had absolutely no idea the post would end this way. (Well, it didn't as it turns out.)

I already knew I'd mention someone else but didn't know he had passed away. Don Van Vliet died in December. Van Vliet was a rock musician, singer-songwriter, and accomplished artist and known to rock fans as Captain Beefheart. He and his band made outstanding experimental rock music!

We miss you! You made a real difference in our lives. Thank You! And yes, I am sad and have tears in my eyes. Take care!

I wanted to say that I think some problems were caused by a computer virus, adware, or something but I'm trying to figure it out.

I'm serious quite often... but honestly it does get in the way of being funny

Dear Me!!
I went to a CD music store yesterday, and they had a going out of business sale. But I felt like it was kinda rowdy in there, with all the noise and confusion one might find at a party, but the opposite sex was the opposite of sexy. haha

Yeah, you had to be there, and I'll research this but I think the music being played there was something, though I don't know what it was, maybe hip-hop music. (short time interval between piecing this together) Just a few minutes ago, I listened to a some hip-hop song samples and it was good so now I'm not sure if what I heard at the CD music store was hip hop after all. Maybe I was in The Twilight Zone or better yet Doctor Who -- how I wish! By the way, I am available if they change actors playing the doctor again.

Alright, it's true, I've been known to be behind the times, still using phone booths or pay phones, just because. I also remember not having an answering machine until people told me to get one, for years. Then I got a bunch of messages for the wrong me, well I mean guys with my name, perhaps from a parallel universe, some Scott who actually had a good job and was loved. Job uh job?, what's a ja-ja-ja-ja job... oh forget it, that isn't a very good dance song. I love Madonna, but Lady Gaga is hmmm... let me get back to you on that one.

I was very distracted Saturday by so many people in the store, so I'll have to think more about what CD I want to buy next. I did buy some CDs this year and I'm still behind and haven't listened to all of the CDs because I'm spending my time in a fairness loop, in other words my fairness in music listening keeps repeating over and over and over, giving as many as possible the chance to get in my list of 100 Best Rock Songs. I'm serious about it and I'm a good guy.

You can read

where I went to drink this shake. Also, please see the post below. I gave my lips a workout trying to suck the shake through the straw. While I know I can't beat the hot dog guy in that contest (or shall we say modern sport), maybe this is my natural event. Drinking very thick shake with a straw (careful, I'm joking, and if you are too young to understand joking around, please leave). I don't think I'd win, but I do suck. Actually I should have used the plastic spoon, but I didn't want to spill shake on my jeans. See ladies, I do care about my clothes. Ask me out on a date! joking

A fun Shake

This is a very thick Oreo Cookie Shake from Jack in the Box. It's one of their "Real Ice Cream Shakes" and has whipped topping and a cherry on top. Yum! Like I said, it's thick and takes some time to go through the straw. But I'm patient with shakes. I'm still finishing this shake about three hours later (as I type), but I ate Chinese food about two-thirds the way through drinking the shake. If you didn't know this already, my eating sometimes can be sort of strange but I'm not married so I don't have a wife to get mad at me. Though I suppose that would be fun. haha

This is sort of for adults only, tho it helps to be rather immature to read it LOL

If you're a minor go away, if you're a 'miner', or anyone else, you are welcome.

Maid New Year's Resolution

It's a new year
i didn't yet drink the beer
still in the refrigerator
oh no, what rhymes with refrigerator?
alligator?
now i realize from deep inside of me
that i wasn't meant to write prosetry
tho in the year '10 i did see alligator
the word that is, on one fast food sign
and like the great ones said many times
look for the signs
in these end times? no way

please no, please no
don't let it end now
i only want to go
somewhere with a beach
where girls in bikinis are within reach
that's only an expression
i just mean near enough to ask on a date
i'm lonely, not really, but it fits
into this, whatever this is

i know this sounds strange
but like most of the time
i don't drink beer to write this blog
just use my brain
because i have one and it works
despite what some people, whose own
brains may be in question, may think of me

back to not drinking, that's alright with me
however, i would like to go on a cruise
not with Penelope and Tom (they are cool though)
but my choice is umm let me think a minute
in this (My) fantasy, hmm how about Yuko Ogura
but only if she brings the maid costume

because for a long time i thought taking a maid
on a cruise would be a lot of fun
and while the character Alice from The Brady Bunch
seems like the illogical but funny choice
i do favor a Japanese idol for various reasons
and since i don't know who reads this
whatever it is, i'll keep my feelings
for the Japanese super-maid as vague as possible
however, let me think again...
okay, okay, she can wear whatever she wants
and i just ran out of words
aren't you lucky

Yes, I'm a nice guy so I'll stop this nonsense immediately.
There will be more nonsense at another time, but not this
exact nonsense.

Anyway, this was for a reason. And I'll explain why later.

Bye.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Is that a Vulcan wave?

No, it was very human. But I was tired and felt like I'd traveled backwards in time from a distant planet to Earth, Our-date was September, 2010 and while it clearly was a fascinating experience, as I recall I had a headache and perhaps my thinking was quite illogical. So I asked Mom if she wanted to go to McDonald's, and we did.

Q: Am I really here?

A: Yes. At least I think so. But not *HERE* here (because while I'm not too big to be a blogger, I am too big to fit in a blog -- that really would be 'self published'-- although I do wait to see if the people who brought us modern pop can shrink me down enough to understand and accept it), but since it's almost 2011 and people wonder about what's next for me, I'll give a very human answer, and simply say "I don't know."

Do you know? Well, I don't mean do you know what's next for me. That would be cool though, but don't tell me unless it's something good... like you are a beautiful ex-maid, no wait I mean a former Japanese idol (you know, like retired at 25) who likes to wear a maid's costume, and you want to go on vacation to a tropical paradise with me. Of course I'm joking, but that does sound rather err... worthwhile. haha

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I wish you all the best in 2011, including but not limited to good friendships, much love, excellent health, a lot of success and happiness.

Scott

Q: Do you ever eat cereal with milk?

A. Yes.
This is a picture from... oh, maybe 20 minutes ago. It's 100% lactose free milk because I don't want to feel like a 100% giant balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And not just because the parade is over for the year. Like, I don't wanna hear umm some lady saying, "Hey kids, look at the bloated man balloon." I want to start the new year off on the ground.

Another time, actually many times I went looking for McDonald's this year, and found it

I know what it may seem like from the picture, but McDonald's and the Golden Arches most likely don't have special powers to transport themselves into outer space. But if I ever go beyond this planet, I do hope that McDonald's is there too.

Q: Would they serve regional cuisine of Pluto?

A: Is it a giant rock or a planet?

Some dude reading this is like: That A should have been: What do cartoon dogs eat?

My Q to that A: Dude, what?!

I went to pick up some pizza this year

No, this isn't the dog doing the writing.

less A, More Q: Will something happen in 2011?

A. Yes

When asking, Does he ever do anything for anyone?

Just remember the Q & A (last post, below) was brought to you by Me.

Q: Are French Fries ever lonely?

A: Not for long.

Hostess Holiday Fruitcake

I like this Fruitcake. It tastes good, but honestly I used to make fruitcake when I was younger and mine (from a recipe) was better. The fruitcake in the picture was fine and some of it is still in the refrigerator, so I think I'll have a small piece of it now. Bye.

I love Fruitcake

We ate fruitcake before Christmas!

Totally hot, and cold too

Our beautiful dog was elegant in (over) the wiener dog shadow a year ago. This is not a dress, but designers will owe me big time if they rip off the dress, I mean if they rip off the idea for the wiener dog shadow dress. You knew what I meant.
