Pepe Le Pew Trying To Sweet Talk His Way Into Arby's !


According to the New York Daily News, Middle Village, Queens - the only NYC neighborhood with a subway-accessible Arby's - is being overrun by Skunks! Sacré bleu!

Warning To Mr. Pepe Le Pew: If you even THINK about getting anywhere near that delicious Arby's roast beef, I will hunt you down, catch you, and make a lovely (albeit malodorous) scarf out of you. Your seductive French charms will be of no help if I catch you with even ONE curly fry in that fancy European mouth of yours.

Besides ... there's a Burger King across the street. Go have a Whopper with Cheese if you need a fast food fix. But leave my beloved Arby's alone.

I'll Take a Bucket-O-Rats and a Large Cole Slaw...


Some of you may remember the "Rats at KFC" story from 2007 - when a hoard of the varmints were caught on camera in a Manhattan KFC. News outlets nationwide reported the story - if for no other reason than the video was just so damn scary. For those of you who are unfamiliar, check it out below...



When I first saw this I almost barfed - because THAT had been one of my favorite KFC/Taco Bells. The location was close to my job, which made it easy to get my Original Recipe on - especially when I had a hangover.

Needless to say, the city shut that bitch down and a T-Mobile store opened up. Although I couldn't buy Popcorn Chicken and/or Chalupas anymore, I could at least pay my cell phone bill there.

So I was surprised last week when I stopped by to pay my bill and saw that T-Mobile had closed the location. It had stripped the place of all the demo cell phones and basically left only the display fixtures and the promotional posters on the walls.


Then, as I peeked inside, something gray and fuzzy caught my eye. There was A BIG RAT on one of the abandoned displays ...


But it wasn't real. I assume that one of the T-Mobile employees left the stuffed rat on the counter as he walked out the door one last time. A plush homage to the rats that paved the way for that very T-Mobile store.
