Sunday Burger Xanadu Sunday

Tonight's attempt at burger Xanadu was 96,66 % successful. I can safely say that the burgers pictured in this post were the best I ever made. They consisted of two slices of melted cheddar cheese, fried bacon, one slice of Buffalo Mozzarella, onion, pickles, one slice of tomato, mayonnaise, two beef and pork patties and either Harissa (a.k.a. the traveling condiment) or Jalapeño mustard.

In my mythical quest of the perfect burger, I believe that I have, so far, managed to elevate my soul and my sauces to new heights. Tonight, I was blessed with a glimpse of the divine and through the fulfillness of my taste buds I was ascended, if only for a fraction of a second, to an alternate plane of existence where the complete knowledge of the universe seemed to be at grasp. Back on earth, my beliefs are now shaken and I'm thinking there must be a God or at least a Burger God.

Note: Forgive the blurry pictures but it seems that such beauty induced tremors in my earthling hands.

Ode To Absurdism & Numbers

Absurdism refers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent meaning in life and the human inability to find any. I find that true humor lies in the Absurd, at least it is the kind of humor that touches me and lifts me to laughter paradise. I find nothing more exhilarating than The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. Who could have constructed a more articulate and elaborate answer than 42 ? What better way to answer the most important philosophical question than to transport it to a whole different plane of understanding and transcend its answer by expressing it in mathematical language? In a similar way, evil forces and the Anti-Christ are also symbolized in western religions by a number (666) for the lack of possible depiction of such a terrifying entity in traditional language.

Psychotic patients often have a singular relationship with language and some feel more comfortable solving mathematical equations than answering simple questions in plain English.

In conclusion, I believe that the true essence of mankind will only find its Xanadu when, in a gravity defying moment, rappers from all over the world unite and shout together : "Yo, 9.81" instead of "Yo, G."
