Re: [funsec] OT: New England Lemmings and The Herd Mentality
Now if only we'd get an in-n-out burger over here! The line would circle the globe! In-n-Out is certainly number on e of the list of burger joints Sonic and Checker are tied for 2nd place... Whitecastle may be in the top 5 I guess... I remember all the hype around the Krispy kreme's over here... I think that store is now closed down too...

No, KrispyKreme label as in: the *ultimate* (frickin' English geeks) combination of ingredients to deliver the greatest negative impact to the biological system. There is nothing healthy in a KK food item - all fruit-derivatives are irradiated and mixed with arsenic prior to use. I have to admit that I have been indulging in the KK products in recent years, which is more a betrayal of self than would normally be the case. I have to relate a story to impart just how bad it is for me to ever eat one of those accursed whitebread sugar and grease bombs: In August 1987 I was working in Greenville, SC for a mafia money-laundering operation that involved shipping a mountain of pumice from Turkey to the US in rusted containers on the decks of tramp steamers (just so they'd be able to soak up some brine on the trip). The containers were double the allowed weight (70,000lbs cargo), so a black camaro would lead each truck up from Charleston to our steel warehouse, radioing back if a weigh-station was open so the truck could get off the interstate and go around. I and the redneck who had broken a beer bottle over my head the previous weekend (Feral Smith - I didn't even know that was a real name before this) were 2/3 finished hand-bombing the 150lb bags of rock out of the third and last truck of the day when this air-conditioned mirage in a Krispy Kreme uniform materialized at the door of the 120-degree hell-hole, brandishing a box of cool white pastry. The mirage smiled like an Irish imp and said: "Would you boys like some Krispy Kreme doughnuts? They're fresh fresh fresh!" We both stared at him for a moment that seared itself into my mind and I involuntarily reached down to the ten-inch hunting knife I had worn on my hip since the aforementioned beer-bottle incident (seemed only fair, Feral carried a .357). While my own words in response have faded in time - or perhaps spontaneously combusted due to heat and/or bile - they included the concepts of offer refusal as well as alternate options to be pursued, not to exclude disembowlment and bestial procreation. Not missing a beat, our erstwhile doughnut deliveryman cocked his head at a jaunty angle, proffered said sweets just a little bit further forward, produced self-generated twinkles in both eye and eye-tooth and said: "Are you *sure*?!?!? They're Fresh, Fresh, FRESH!!!" I believe I entered a fugue state and lost the next month, because next thing I knew I was landscaping at Greenville Tech and taking classes at night, but for nearly two decades I never touched one of the accursed confectioners' creations. It was only in early 2007 - I believe suffering from head injury or entreprenuers' fatigue - that I reached into one of the now-ubiquitous refrigerated KK boxes in a convenience store in Toronto and to my extreme disappointment found that the contents could be combined with Red Bull to achieve the fabled Nerd Nervana of unlimited overwork. I've been in therapy ever since. I just try to take each day as it comes, now. -chris ___ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.

While trying to locate the hotel, noticed that the entire right shoulder of the road for almost a half mile before the hotel was a solid line of cars. They even had cops directing traffic. Asking at the registration desk what was up with the line, was told that the line was for the new Sonic Drive-In (http://www.sonicdrivein.com/) that had opened last Wednesday 2 blocks further up US-1! I then had to ask what was the big deal, were they giving away free food or something? It turns out that this is the first Sonic in New England. People have been coming from as far away as Maine, Vermont, Rhodes Island, Connecticut, and New York just to try out the latest junk food chain! Some have driven 4 or more hours just to sit in line to eat a hamburger in their car. Those arriving "late" have been finding the restaurant out of food and closing early. In addition to the line down US-1, I also found that there is a back entrance that has a line that stretches further than one can see. Thinking about it, this has to make Sonic one of the highest carbon footprint foods in the world!! Coming from an area that is saturated with Sonics, I cannot believe that anyone would wait in line -- and apparently do so for hours -- for Sonic Drive-In food. IMHO, the food at just about every other burger and shake joint is better. The only novelty is that it is like a 50s drive-in where you are waited on by servers in roller skates and you have to eat in your car or take it home (no inside dining). Geeze, and all these years I had thought that lemmings were herbivores. :-) Jon - -- Jon R. Kibler Chief Technical Officer Advanced Systems Engineering Technology, Inc.
