I returned from a weekend trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was a really good time, though too short as any vacation is.

To stay awake on the road I decided to not eat for the 8 hour car drive because doing so attempting to do so produces instant drowsiness – and one of my fears is nodding of for a second, looking up and seeing a Chevy Blazer implanted in my skull.

So, as they say, never go to the grocery store on an empty stomach. I’d like to add to that by saying never enter my house if there is BBQ and you haven’t eaten in 12 hours. My roomie made his famous burgers, that I don’t believe are made from cow meat – but are actually small cows compressed to fit on a bun.

In honor of Brazil – X-Tudos. Brazilian hamburgers with egg, olives, and 1/2 inch of munster cheese and potato crisps all under the same bun. Simply brilliant.

I went through 3 of them in less than 30 minutes, and at the moment I can still feel them in my stomach churning away. A cholesterol test I took this morning registered at 637 and my blood pressure was off the scale.

I do not believe I will have to eat for 3 days, but if there is ever a X-Tudo eating competition, I’m there.

…and yes I should have written from there to add South Carolina to the US States map. I am a bad person. A very, very bad person indeed…pictures of the real deal coming soon…
