Touched by an Angel?

On Saturday, I was having a horrible day. No it wasn't Villanova's loss on a bogus traveling call. I was just totally bummed out. If it weren't for the prospects of eating a Chicken Ala Rocco from the Reading Terminal Market, I probably wouldn't have left the house. But we were making a day of it. My friends were looking at apartments in the city and were going to hang out in town, get a little drunk and have dinner. Lunch at Reading Terminal was merely a bonus.

My Friends (especially Wayne) are always very good at cheering me up, by driving the knife even deeper. "Why are your eyes red?" "You look like you could cry?" "You aren't eating." Thanks alot... My mother is the same way. "Well, at least you aren't like that little boy in the wheel chair." Yup, that's right... at least I'm not him.

Sometimes you just like feeling sorry for yourself, but I tried hard to get out of the funk. Then, the little boy in the wheel chair motored by me. He let out a scream, then slid his hand across my arm. Now, some people might just think that was just a coincidence. Some might be annoyed that he might have slid some drool on you. But not me. I thought I was touched by an angel.

Now mind you, my mother is the type of person who believes birds are angels. So, let's just say I'm borne out of a crazy person. Here I am in a bad mood, my friends remind me at least I'm not in a wheel chair or drooling on myself. And here this kid recognizes my mood and touches me to let me know everything will be alright. A message from winged angel... excuse me... a wheeled angel.

And Yes, I'm going to hell.

HammLinks: Around The Web Today

Have you seen that McDonald's commercial for McGriddles, where the young women describes how women are like McGriddles? Um... I have a problem with it. NOT because there she goes and eats that dude's McGriddles. But because they are calling the breakfast sandwich a McGriddles. I've been calling this thing, a McGriddle for months. I've also called this sandwich the one of man's Top 10 greatest inventions. To go with the Internet, the Wonder Bra, and that hose attached to your sink. Why are they pluralizing it? Because you have 2 griddle cakes on the outside of your egg, cheese and meats? We might as well head down to Wal-Marts after we shove down an Egg McMuffins down our throat. (I'm going to pluralize EVERYTHINGS now.)

Now Burger Kings is unleashing a huge 750 calorie breakfast sandwich to kill the entire middle class. They first tried to attack the middle class music by destroying Darius "HOOTIES" Rucker's career. Now they have decided they haven't hardened enough arteries. Don't Worry HammRadios will be on the case. Although, I hope it goes well with French Toast Sticks!
