The Trash Burger

Tired of simply scarfing down your burger patties and dumping your tray in the garbage can?  Add some fun to your meal!  Introducing the Trash Burger.  Try this the next time you're out at a fast food burger joint...

  • Eat your food.  This step is very important.  If you do not eat your food, you will not have any trash, and thus, no Trash Burger.
  • Lay one of your empty burger wrappers flat on your tray and pile your trash in the center of it.  Your trash will typically consist of things like empty ketchup packets, those disgusting pickle slices you're too smart to eat, and the beard net of the stoner chef who made your sandwich.  Note:  Solid-colored burger wrappers work well, and those foil Dairy Queen wrappers are the best because you can't see through them.  
  • Fold the corners of your burger wrapper around the trash pile and mold it until it looks like a burger.  Try your best to make it look like it did when you first unwrapped it.  Concentrate on duplicating the height and diameter of an actual burger.  Bonus points if you've worked in fast food before because this step will be a breeze!
  • Place the Trash Burger in the center of your tray, walk casually to the counter where you purchased your food and set the tray down. 
  • Say to the cashier with a straight face, "This burger tastes like garbage."

WORST-CASE SCENARIO - The cashier picks up the Trash Burger, realizes he's been duped, and laughs hysterically.  He gives you a high-five and says, "That's some funny ass shit!"  He'll tell his boss and co-workers and they'll tell the story every time you come in there after that.  Hell, they might even give you a coupon for a free ice cream cone! 

BEST-CASE SCENARIO - The burger joint will be so busy, they don't have time to look closely at your Trash Burger.  The manager will apologize profusely, grab another pre-made sandwich, and give it to you for free.  You can't lose!

The "My Sharona" Guitar Solo

THE "MY SHARONA" GUITAR SOLO - Am I crazy, or is the big guitar solo on "My Sharona" one of the best solos ever recorded? There was a time in my life (not long ago, actually) where I'd watch this video 20 times a day. It's the best live performance of this song I've seen, check it out! The Knack - My Sharona RANDOM THOUGHTS... Of course, the main guitar riff in this song is classic. The octave-jumping bass riff heard in the intro is also doubled by the guitar, and it was written by guitarist Berton Averre. I also think the first guitar break (you could probably call it a solo, Mr. Technically) at the 1:17 mark is really good. Today, however, I want to focus mainly on the full-blown celebration of life that is the big guitar solo... THE GUITAR SOLO (2:35 to 4:06) ... ... I'm almost appalled that this song is not mentioned in Guitar World's Top 100 Guitar Solos list. I mean, what the hell?! I'm sorry, but the "My Sha

Great 80's Videos ... Cinderella - Shake Me

Cinderella - Shake Me - 1986 - Here's an excellent song and video from Cinderella. "Shake Me" was the first single off their multi-platinum selling debut album, Night Songs , and it's probably my favorite Cinderella song. Shake it! RANDOM THOUGHTS ... This song has it all: Great guitar riffs, awesome cowbell, and kick-ass vocals. A " foot-stomping rocker " if you will. Cinderella is one of my favorite bands from that era, I saw them live (with Poison, Dokken, and Slaughter on the Power To The People Tour in 2000) and they put on a great  show, doing all of the cool guitar tricks they display here in this video. And of course, Tom Keifer is a great singer, one of my favorite rock and roll voices. It captures the energy, so showing them playing the song live in the video works pretty good here, I think. ... Bands, and people in general, don't talk about "shaking" like they used to. Back in the day, there were songs about "shaking&q

Great 80's Videos ... Zebra - Tell Me What You Want

Zebra - "Tell Me What You Want" - I heard this on Dee Snider's House of Hair recently and it blew me away!  It's got killer vocals, a killer guitar solo, and a kick-ass descending chord progression.  And, as you'll see, the video is everything you'd expect from Zebra... which probably isn't much.  Enjoy!  Zebra - Tell Me What You Want RANDOM THOUGHTS - This is the opening track off Zebra's self-titled 1983 debut album.  I've always wondered why bands opt for no album name?  Just make something up, for crying out loud!  How about this: Heaven Ain't For Sinners .  That's a perfectly good album title for a hard rock band, and I've got a hundred of them like that!   0:19 - Enter the mysterious tigress.  As far as I can tell, there are four main elements to this "narrative":  The tiger-woman, lead singer Randy Jackson, a mannequin, and a red door.  What does all this symbolism mean?  Well, it probably means they had
