France Gets Star Wars-Themed Burgers

George Salire — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 08:30:01 +0000

The Dark Side never looked this appetizing.

A French fastfood chain called Quick will be offering Star Wars-Themed Burgers to coincide with the 3D re-release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace!

The Jedi Burger is appropriately plain and old-fashioned, while the Darth Maul-themed Dark Burger looks to be peppered with spicy evil. But what blows them both away is the “Dark Vador Burger“, which looks positively infused with the infamous Sith Lord’s hate and anger that it turned its very bun jet-black like his heart.

That’s right. A black-bunned burger. A stroke of both genius and crazy!

Unfortunately, it seems that only France will get to taste this deliciously evil burger and its goody-goody counterparts, leaving the rest of us to just drool and imagine what a black bun tastes like.

Best Vacation Email Autoresponse

On vacation? Bored with the usual “I’m on vacation” responder? Try this

Here’s something that’s new but has sense hahaha:

I am currently out of the office on vacation.

I know I’m supposed to say that I’ll have limited access to email and won’t be able to respond until I return — but that’s not true. My blackberry will be with me and I can respond if I need to. And I recognize that I’ll probably need to interrupt my vacation from time to time to deal with something urgent.

That said, I promised my wife that I am going to try to disconnect, get away and enjoy our vacation as much as possible. So, I’m going to experiment with something new. I’m going to leave the decision in your hands:

If your email truly is urgent and you need a response while I’m on vacation, please resend it to interruptyourvacation@firstround.com and I’ll try to respond to it promptly.

If you think someone else at First Round Capital might be able to help you, feel free to email my assistant, Fiona (fiona@firstround.com) and she’ll try to point you in the right direction.

· Otherwise, I’ll respond when I return…

Warm regards,
Josh

Browser Toolbar Fail

Mon Macutay — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 06:59:55 +0000

If you’re a lazy ass and you just let your apps auto-install the toolbars for you, chances are, you’ll end up with less screen-space like the loser who has the browser above. Sigh.

Guy Who Invented Pringles Can Buried In One

Mon Macutay — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 15:34:25 +0000

His name is Fred Baur, the guy who invented the Pringles can. His last wish – to be buried in one. His children agreed and did the will. The choice, the original flavored can of course.

Here’s an excerpt from a report by Time

“When my dad first raised the burial idea in the 1980s, I chuckled about it,” Baur’s eldest son Larry, 49, told TIME. Larry Baur quickly realized his father was serious. Family jokes circulated about the Pringles plan, but no one questioned the elder Baur’s decision. So when Frederic Baur died after a battle with Alzheimer’s, Larry and his siblings stopped at Walgreen’s for a burial can of Pringles on their way to the funeral home. “My siblings and I briefly debated what flavor to use,” Baur says, “but I said, ‘Look, we need to use the original.’”

This one is for the record books. A woman in Russia supposedly died of a heart attack. When mourners opened her coffin to say prayers, she woke up. But died again after suffering from a SECOND heart attack when she realized that she was in her own funeral.

Sad.
