Better Know Some Midwestern Shit, Part 1

First off, what the hell is up with LJ's "subtitle"?  "Discover global communities of friends who share your unique passions and interests"?  Sounds like a robot took over.

So I was looking at the Culver's menu (my mother's obsessed with their ice cream), and had a good time with the pictures.  In case there are people that don't know, Culver's is a Midwestern burger chain.  As with anything Midwestern, there are weird undertones of "family values" at Culver's.  Their claim to fame is the ButterBurger.  Sounds bad, actually not that bad.  Part of their slogan: "If you’ve been to a Culver’s and experienced fresh, delicious food served with friendly smiles, you’ve been Culverized."  Yeeee-aaaah.

First we have some slab chicken on stone bread:

Next we have some alien crabs on bread:
 

 
And the winner, a sandwich to rival the worst sandwich I have ever had:

It looks awful as shit to me (true, good food to me often involves rice, but not always, and I do eat sandwiches and burgers).  I mean, McDonald's has better photos.  I'm not saying the food itself is shit, mind you - I've never had any of these particular beauties - but can we maybe invest in some better photography?  Slap some lettuce and tomatoes on this shit?  Just for the hell of it?

Lol! That's great, thanks.

Is it amazing that I've managed to survive without once hearing that song (prior to this video)? I'm not really a Lady Gaga fan though, and apparently it gets no radio play in Lincoln.

then you need this, too:



I only found it b/c of this article, which i found b/c of the recent link on the female gaze to her piece on "Alejandro", which is better than that one (the article, not the video).

that's funny (about the radio play), though it makes a sort of sense. yeah, i'm not a lady gaga fan either, though I have a mixed reaction to her sometimes.

Well, except that a lot of her other songs get played. It could just be that I don't like the way it sounds and I change the station? There's a lot of songs that I didn't even know were hers (judging by people's reaction to her visually - I guess I thought the songs would be more "different" or "unique" or something), because they sound like everything else I hear on KFRX.

I dunno. Yeah, her music is not what's interesting about her. The music is just mainstream, generic, everybody can like it stuff.
