Blogging and Low Carb Burgers

Blogging is just like eating a Low Carb 6 Dollar Burger at Carl's Jr. You are out there alone, at a table, not making eye contact with anybody, and at the same time you're trying to eat the world's most embarrassing thing to try to eat: A juicy cheeseburger without the bun. Yeah, there's the lettuce that supposedly "wraps" everything into a tight little bundle, but, to date, that has never worked for me. And you know that every other customer -- and their two rug-rat kids -- is staring right at you like you are the most animalistic consumer of fast food on earth. You don't confirm this, though, because you're too embarrassed to look to see if the other person is looking at you which they probably are. After the first two bites, the entire thing usually collapses and then it looks like you are eating hamburger stew, dripping wet and with just your hands.

So this is my second post to the blog.

Speaking of eating that burger. Not only is it embarrassing to eat, what with everyone shaking their head at you, fool, but now you have to embarrass yourself even more by cleaning it all off yourself, all in front of the same people. Don't look now.

They ought to have little "face showers" at each table. That way, instead of just napkins, you can be provided with a hot table-side hand and face shower. It's perfect. There could be a little wire frame-work that can "pop up" onto the sides of the table to drape a small shower curtain around the table. There will be a vertical slit and two holes on either side for your head and hands to enter the shower. It's all fastened up by Velcro. Two can do it at one time. Napkins can be used to dry off.

Next to the Diet Sodas and Iced Tea there could be a tap for soap. One squirt into a little catchup tub is all that is needed for two people.
