from the Gillette News Record (Campbell County, Wy):

Published: Friday, December 17, 2010 12:38 PM MST


A fight broke out Thursday night when the bar’s kitchen staff didn’t put ranch dressing on an order of fries. Two men, ages 41 and 43, were arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor assault for starting the fight.

One of the men was Tasered after putting a woman in a headlock. The other man punched a woman and a man. They became enraged when the fries they ordered were served without ranch dressing, police Lt. Brent Wasson said.

though not sure about putting a woman in a headlock!

Sounds like they had a wicked-ass case of the stoner munchies, but since a fight broke out I would assume there was a significant quantity of alcohol involved as well.

or drink alcohol, which I suspect was more the cause of this than the missing ranch dressing. . .

He enjoyed writing while sitting naked in his bathtub.

There's a statue of him, in this pose, in front of the theater in his hometown -- Grand Junction, Colorado.

it's sacreligious.

My personal favorite, though, is honey mustard on fries.


Do you also put sugared tomato squeezings on your hot dogs?

I'll have to give the honey mustard a try, however. That sounds interesting.

..... or A1 steak sauce on the thick ones.

On Mrs. Lasher's side, of course.

That's his home state.

Depriving people of their fix can be dangerous.

I prefer cider vinegar on my fries, but mustard is a great condiment as well.


"Uhmmm-uh - I'd like me some of them fried taters with mustard- ummm-uh"

argh

Scoville rating of about 2500... just right.

With lots of cayenne pepper.

:D

For some people this year, Christmas will be the gentle laughter of children as they scamper around the tree, mischievously peeking at their brightly-wrapped presents, as the warm glow of the fireplace illuminates the scene. Mom and dad share a special hug and sip from that special bottle of wine sent by their friends down the street, and the delightful smell of freshly-baked pies fills the house.

For ME, Christmas is a couple of guys in a bar punching the everloving shit out of each other because they didn't get ranch dressing on their fries.

That news story says more about my feeling toward Christmas this year than I possibly could. That IS my Christmas. I probably won't punch anyone or get punched, but it FEELS like I'm getting punched. Over french fries.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

But it's gotta be good ranch dressing, not that buttermilk crap.
