Holy...
 

I've been to that McCormick's & Schmick's where Ms. Sultan found the jimmy hat in her chowder!

It's right down the street from my office. Now, however, I'm not sure about whether I will go back.
:mad:

I guess I can understand being paid a million to chew on a condom as a dare providing you know the source, but this woman had no idea about this (her story) and did not know the source. That's just nasty.

Umm

I don't really want to think about it, but

was it used?

I don't know, but what if it was? YUK:mad:

Ewwww

I feel so bad for her. It makes you never want to eat out again. What if it was used - during sex ... oohh, My stomach hurts and I feel like spitting up at the thought. I mean darn, she took an extra chew!

EXACTLY! *shudder* She thought it was a shrimp or something.
OMG.

That is no mystery -- If you have ever seen those hidden video shows, you will see that people pee in your food, they spit in your food and they put snot in your food. This is just another example of some horrible disgruntled employee sockin' it to the customer. I don't send my food back if it is not what I want unless I know that I don't want anything else (if I send it back, I sit at the table without any food). People are disgusting and horrible and nasty and though this is gross, it doesn't surprise me.

Ohhh... I just ate lunch...

(holds stomach, turns green)

I've never been to the one in the article, but I do frequent the McCormick & Schmick's in Philadelphia. They have a happy hour where you can get a lot of food for $1.50. I really, really, really don't want to have to give that up. But, I just might have to because that was just downright nasty.

My father made a special point to tell me this since I have been known to frequent this restaurant. Also, he had to rub it in. He hates the place.


@ Classy---Their happy hour is the BOMB! Dangit!

Though a little bit different, my HS Home Ec teacher told us how her daughter and her best friend ( both African American) went to a pizzeria in a mostly white neighberhood. The waitress first put ice in their glasses with her hand. Then she basically threw their pizza onto the table. They decided to leave and asked to have their pizza wrapped up to take home and she dropped it on the kitchen floor and they could see what occurred from where they were seated. She brought it back to them and there was all kind of gunk on top of the pizza from the fall. The manager really didn't do anything about it so they just smeared the pizza all over the counter and threw it at the waitress. I know they shouldn't have because being fools is what the waitress thought of them anyway, but when a sister gets PO'd, God help the person that did it to them.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Two robbers left a German taxi driver glued to his steering wheel before running off with 300 euros ($351), police said on Thursday.

After the 31-year-old drove the men to a village near the eastern city of Dresden they threatened him with a gun, glued his hands to the wheel and escaped with the money, police spokesman Claus Schneider said.

Man's Finger Stuck in Pay Phone for Hours

EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) - A man and a pay phone were rushed to a hospital after he got his finger stuck in the coin return slot while trying to retrieve his 50 cents.

Emergency room doctors gave Emanuel Fleming a painkiller Monday and pried his middle finger loose using a wooden device and lubricant, ending the three-hour ordeal.

"The bone in my finger felt like it was going to break. My finger was numb. It was very painful," said Fleming, an elementary school janitor.

Fleming had tried to call his wife, but the line was busy. Two passers-by tried to help. When they failed to free him, Fleming used his other hand to dial 911.

LMAO!!!

Who still uses pay phones!?!?!?!

Girl, you'll be surprised. Pay phones are a big business here in NYC, b/c there are times when we can't use our cell phones, like underground in the subway stations. If there's an emergency, then we would have to plunk 50 cents into the phones. Thank God I have my cell phone though. :)

Oh, well. Yeah. Gotcha. But 50 CENT for a pay phone call. . . GEEZ it has been a minute then for me and a pay phone.

Verizon (our telephone company in NYC) now has it where the use of a pay phone is 50 cents, but you can talk as long as you want to, instead of having to hear some annoying person asking you to "please deposit 10 cents for the next two minutes or you call will be disconnected, this is a recording." LOL

East St. Louis is one of the poorest places here in Illinois so he may not have been able to afford a cell phone. The sad part is that someone had to suggest to him to call 911. The paramedics couldn't help and neither could the fire Department. The telephone company came and cut the phone off of it's stand and they took him to the hospital then. So many people came by not to lend a hand but to look and laugh. Poor guy, I think it was raining too.

LMAO!!!!!:D :D

Don't forget 9/11 and the blackout last summer. My cell phone didn't work at all on those days.

Beer vendor charged for refilling used cups at NFL game


TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A concessions worker filled used plastic cups with beer and resold them at a Tampa Bay Buccaneers game, pocketing $1,080 in unreported sales, police said.

John Angelus Keene, 68, was charged with felony grand theft, said Tampa police Detective Bill Todd.

Todd said he observed Keene picking up used cups from tables and refilling them without rinsing them at a Bud Light booth during Sunday's game at Raymond James Stadium.:eek:

"I've never seen anything like it," said Todd, who works stadium security at Buccaneers games. "Naturally, you think of health issues."

Keene was a volunteer with a military retiree group manning the booth, but Todd did not know the exact name of the group. Aramark Inc., the Philadelphia foodservice company that provides the stadium's concessions, declined to release the name of the organization.

Keene told police he planned to turn in the cash, but detectives found he had already signed a voucher for the day's sales, Todd said.

Keene was released from jail on $2,000 bail Monday, and could not be reached for comment Tuesday. It could not immediately be determined whether Keene had an attorney.

Ill. That's disgusting but he ain't care. Maybe he wouldn't have been doing that if he had learned a skill in the military that made him a little more employable.

Boy Sold to Restaurant as Dog Meat
Mon Nov 24, 9:57 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnamese drug addicts kidnapped a mute teenager, bundled him in a sack and sold him to a dog-meat eatery as a stray canine, state media said on Saturday.



The Gia Dinh Xa Hoi (Family and Society) newspaper said the two addicts grabbed the homeless 13-year-old from a busy market in Halong city.


Halong, around 90 miles from the capital, Hanoi, attracts hordes of tourists to its spectacular bay and rock formations, a United Nations (news - web sites) heritage site.


The kidnappers tied up the boy, bundled him into a sack and sold him to the restaurant for $19, the newspaper said.


The restaurateur, shocked to find the boy, fed him and released him.


Police were investigating the case but had made no arrests, said the newspaper, mouthpiece of the state Population, Family and Children Committee.


Dog meat is a delicacy in parts of China and in some other Asian countries such as Korea, Cambodia, Indonesia and Laos. In Vietnam, eating specifically farmed breeds is believed to bring health benefits and is seen as auspicious.


Early in November, Thai police rescued more than 800 dogs from smugglers who were taking the animals to Vietnam to sell for meat.

eww
 

Would it have made a difference if he had rinsed them? It's still unsanitary! :confused:

Surgery Treats Dog's Five-Legged Problem

Nov 25, 10:43 AM (ET)


RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A five-legged dog discovered near a state park has undergone successful surgery to remove two of his legs.

During a 2 1/2-hour operation Monday morning, a veterinary surgeon removed the dog's back two left legs, which resulted from an extremely rare genetic anomaly.

The Maltese-and-terrier mix named Popcorn created quite a stir in the local dog-lover community when she was found near Umstead State Park, northwest of Raleigh. Experts said it was unheard of for such an animal to live long past birth.

Popcorn is believed to be between 9 months and a year old.


The extra, or supernumerary, leg was removed because it was hampering the dog's movement. The more fully developed leg was also removed because it was rotated at a 90-degree angle, rendering it useless as well.

Dr. Rebecca Tudor, who performed the amputations with an assistant, said Popcorn faced severe arthritis without the surgery. Because of the abnormalities, surgery took longer than expected, she said.

He went from having too many legs to not having enough legs? I feel for him.

Woman Knocked Unconscious While Shopping
2 hours, 37 minutes ago Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!

ORANGE CITY, Fla. - A mob of shoppers rushing for a sale on DVD players trampled the first woman in line and knocked her unconscious as they scrambled for the shelves at a Wal-Mart Supercenter.

Patricia VanLester had her eye on a $29 DVD player, but when the siren blared at 6 a.m. Friday announcing the start to the post-Thanksgiving sale, the 41-year-old was knocked to the ground by the frenzy of shoppers behind her.


"She got pushed down, and they walked over her like a herd of elephants," said VanLester's sister, Linda Ellzey. "I told them, `Stop stepping on my sister! She's on the ground!'"


Ellzey said some shoppers tried to help VanLester, and one employee helped Ellzey reach her sister, but most people just continued their rush for deals.


"All they cared about was a stupid DVD player," she said Saturday.


Paramedics called to the store found VanLester unconscious on top of a DVD player, surrounded by shoppers seemingly oblivious to her, said Mark O'Keefe, a spokesman for EVAC Ambulance.


She was flown to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where doctors told the family VanLester had a seizure after she was knocked down and would likely remain hospitalized through the weekend, Ellzey said. Hospital officials said Saturday they did not have any information on her condition.


"She's all black and blue," Ellzey said. "Patty doesn't remember anything. She still can't believe it all happened."


Ellzey said Wal-Mart officials called later Friday to ask about her sister, and the store apologized and offered to put a DVD player on hold for her.


Wal-Mart Stores spokeswoman Karen Burk said she had never heard of a such a melee during a sale.


"We are very disappointed this happened," Burk said. "We want her to come back as a shopper."

can you imagine that??

"Come on Sally Mae, run and get 5 of those $29 DVD players....one for each of your brother-cousins!!"

Ok, I was at Wal-Mart
 

I accompanied my father to Wal-mart at 5:15 on Friday morning. He wanted to buy my nephew the $500 HP computer (which was a great deal btw). However, I had a very different experience. First, of all, I bypassed the crowd and went to a frozen food aisle along with four other waiting people. When 6am came, the rope surrounding the sale item was cut and the only person I came in physical contact with was my father (we dumped into each other). We walked up, grabbed the computer, put it in the cart and walked right up to a cash register. It took all of five minutes.

As Cedric the Entertainer said, " I wish a M$%#%# would..."

or as a fellow aisle waiter stated, I told the people near me last year, if you push me, I will kill you! I'm very serious."



cracked me up!!!

ETA: Those people are hardcore...why did I see people with walkie talkies. They dispatched people in their groups to different sections of the store. I mean really, I'm a shopper and I take it very seriously...but they were out of control. I think they missed their calling. We need them in the military. LOL

WALMART IS TOO DAGGONE CROWDED
 

I just came back from getting socks and groceries!! TOO MANY MOFOS there and some of the baaaaaaddest kids I have ever seen. If I go again between now and Christmas, please believe it will be in the weeeeeeeee hours of the morning.

That's something else
 

I wasn't at Wal-Mart yesterday. I was at Off Fifth, the Saks outlet, in S.D. and had to wait 90 minutes to check out. The Off Fifth crowd didn't trample people. They're more, err, refined.:p

I am so sick of hearing about that $29 dvd player. One of my friends was excited about it. I told her that it probably runs like a $29 dvd player. It is sad that this lady got trampled over something so material. But I am trying to avoid walmart at all cost during normal hours. I went out on tuesday and bought all the little things that i would need for a while

They couldn't at least give her the DVD player for free? :confused:

I know RIGHT??!?!?! I was like well dayum she did not just get a cut eye, she has seizures and chit. She needs to get like $1000 worth of Wally World items.

Um, well...I was told it was a piece of crap! The same lady who threatened the shoppers last year, said that everyone she knew who bought one last year returned them in two weeks because they broke.

well, what do you expect???


@Soror Steeltrap...I try to keep it classy regardless of my surroundings. Even in Walmart...I maintained it...Sorry, I'm not running...or hitting...or doing anything thing of that nature for an item. Now..a man...maybe!!!

Just jokes/

i heard at some targets down south, dvd players that were $29 sold out in the first fifteen minutes of the store opening.
this is exactly why i am glad my family is doing christmas differently this year. we are getting each other ONE presents and that is all. other stuff that we want can be bought by ourselves. store get way too ridiculous at christmas time. my life is more important than getting trampled on for sometimes like a shirt or a video game. :rolleyes:

You beat me to the punch. That's the least they could do, dag. People are so triflin, its not even funny. I mean, is a friggin DVD player THAT important that you'd actually push and shove and walk over people to get one? That's why I don't like the gift giving portion of Christmas, folks just get straight supid.

I vowed I would never shop during the Wal-Mart after Thanksgiving Sale ever again! I went two years ago for a computer and a tv and it scarred me. Me and my family got there at like 4:30 thinking we would be the first in line. And to our surprise, the line was wrapped around the store. This was before it became SuperWalMart so the doors were closed. I felt so bad for the man with the key because he almost got rushed. My cousin was with me and she was pregnant at the time. She had to keep her arms over her stomach the whole time b/c people were pushing and shoving. It was ridiculous. Never again.

The news cameras were at the K-Mart (or Wal-Mart one) and aired a live fight between women who fought to keep another woman from skipping. In the mean time, all of the others shoppers walked in as the 3 ladies continued to fight. Pretty lame!
