06:44 - Tuesday, May. 24, 2005 for those who dont know, carls jr. thinks men cannot cook! their commercials say that men are stupid, and cannot open a bread wrapper or a box of cereal. its NOT FUNNY and IM NOT LAFFING. step one, the grill!! step two, veal patty and taters! step three, add the eggs~ step four, chow time!! here we have 2 eggs, taters, and veal patty with melted pepperjack cheese!!!! so, up yours carls jr! ya food sucks, your employees do not wash thier hands after taking a shit, and i got a better deal!!! i woke up late~ its 6 am! im working tonite, which means that i will be sleeping all day, hopefully! things that piss me off, oh but good! Today is the 122nd Birthday of everybody's favorite Gothic stone suspension bridge crossing the East River: yup -- the Brooklyn Bridge! Yes, on this day in 1883, after 14 long years of construction and catastrophe, the bridge that would be resold to thousands of gullible dupes opened, thus enabling the first ever wave of bridge-and-tunnelers to invade Manhattan's hotspots. Guess how many immigrant laborers are buried within its cement? Twenty-seven! That's fifty-four hands that built America. And twelve more people died just a week after it opened, when a rumor of collapse turned into a deadly stampede. Stupid outer-borough gossipmongers, always causing stampedes! Brooklyn Bridge Fun Fact: Remember Katie, the adorable shiksa for whom lil' what's-his-face swooned in the schmaltzy TV series "Brooklyn Bridge"? She grew up to be none other than Jenny Lewis, the adorable shiksa lead singer of Rilo Kiley (following in the child-actor-in-a-nostalgic-TV-dramedy-to-MTV-rock-star footsteps of Paul Pfieffer/Marilyn Manson, only for real). What's all this got to do with the world's most famous suspension bridge? Nothing, but it sure is fun to talk about TV. If you want to watch a majestic thoroughfare in action, here's the Brooklyn Bridge webcam. And now your day just got a little bit brighter! and now, im gonna cook breakfast!!! screw you carls jr! CAT OF THE DAY!!
