I’m gaining weight just looking at the Heart Attack Grill.

Restaurateur Jon Basso’s famed Heart Attack Grill has struck again.  Patron John Alleman, the restaurant’s unofficial mascot who took over after 575-pound Blair River died of a heart attack, has himself been stricken by the restaurant’s menu.  While waiting for a bus in front of the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas, John Alleman fell dead of a heart attack.  That’s two unofficial mascots in two years for the Vegas celebration of gluttony, which has caused two other heart attacks in its time in Sin City.

“He never missed a day, even on Christmas,” admitted Basso.  “People just loved him. He connected with people in a real way.”

Apparently Alleman took his responsibilities seriously.  He would eat at the restaurant daily, and after eating, he would flag down passers-by and encourage them to try the Heart Attack Grill’s medical-themed menu, which offers patrons massive burgers and shakes while treating them like patients, complete with medical gowns and scrubs-clad wait staff.  Maybe they should have some real medical training on the wait staff, just in case this continues to happen and people keep keeling over after having a burger.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
