My favorite barbeque joint is celebrating 100 years in business, so I painted them a birthday card:
That logo was designed by David Boyd and has been part of their street sign since at least 1992 when I worked my first ever summer job there as a curb hop, a position they have since eliminated, maybe because they had a hard time finding qualified curb hops. In my case, I just wrote whatever the customer said on my pad and handed it to the employee behind the register who re-wrote the order for the kitchen. Not that I didn't try; I think they just didn't trust me to take the orders correctly, and in all honesty, they were probably right. In addition to being my first job, it was the first job I was fired from.
(Don't feel bad for me. As lowest man on the totem pole, it was also my job to clean the barbeque pit every night. Being fired from shoveling grease out of an oven was an undisguised blessing. And I've since been fired from many jobs, so it would prove to be good training.)
Here's to one hundred more!

Say, that's a good looking Ford Fusion out that window.
This screenshot comes from a Ford commercial running in the Atlanta area for about the past month. But the car isn't the reason I'm showing it to you.
This shot was taken in my favorite restaurant, Sprayberry's Restaurant. The Ford out the window is parked in the space usually reserved for Sprayberry's International Scout. I don't think that Scout ran when I worked there in 1992. You can see it in the picture of the "229 Jackson Street" location at sprayberrysbbq.com.
I don't know if the commercial sold any car, but it certainly has me warning some Brunswick stew.
UPDATE: I found a video of the commercial:

Went and bought myself a delicious Sprayberry's BBQ® Sandwich (beef, chopped, extra sauce) yesterday evening so that I could have something to enjoy while the NFL tried to pass off the Giants vs. Redskins as a football game.
That's not the whole sandwich. That's what was left after someone BETRAYED ME while my back was turned! Look upon the face of a traitor:
Betrayal, thy name is July!
