Now that is a Tasty Burger

Amy and I went to Amarillo today on a BIG ADVENTURE. We went to the Mueller and ordered roof material for the porch. As it turns out they custom make each order. Next we spent 2 ½ hours at Home Depot. The commercial says that they are the Home Improvement help center; they were not all that helpful today. We did get what we needed and then took off for lunch. We ate at Carino’s, went to the mall, Barnes & Noble, got a coke, had some dinner, and headed home. We had dinner at Blue Sky (I-40 and Western) and I have to say that it was a tasty burger.

After I took the first bite into the burger, I though about two movies. Pulp Fiction, and The Big Lebowski both came to mind. Neither movie is suitable for children under the age of 16 (18 really) and both movies have these great hamburger dialogs. The scene from Pulp Fiction goes something like this:
The two gangsters have barged into this apartment that has 4 or 5 college aged guys sitting around. After some dialog one of the gagsters picks up this kids hamburger and takes a bite. “Mmmm, now that is a tasty burger…” and the dialog continues for a couple of minutes about the burger, his girlfriend that is a vegetarian, and how he does not get to eat meat very often. The movie does have a unique ending which is it’s only saving grace. The first time I watched it was in College Station, we had gone to visit one of our best friends that was in college there. It was a preview or future student visitation weekend and they showed it at the student center. (Perhaps it was parents weekend). One of the students had brought their parents to the show, and about 20 minutes into the movie they all left.

In the Big Lebowski it is a scene where they are driving across LA in a car that no longer has a windshield taking about the In and Out Burger. To mention more than that would distract from the plot line of either movie.

I decided that, while we were shopping for new clothes for Amy, people really give a man strange looks when he is carrying around women’s clothing without his wife there. I did also get to pick out a new pair of Kaki Church Shorts for Cap. Not really sure why we gets to wear shorts and I do not, but that is the life of a 2 year old.
