My good, good buddy Bob has now combined all the best elements of Bob-Net and The Donkey Show into a new, snazzy, snappy home right here on Tumblr.
Check out what he’s doing over there. It’s smart, funny, timely, and 100% Bob. Which, as those of us who know him know, is a good thing to be.
… a Pork Chop & Sausage Gravy Breakfast Biscuit from Hardee’s.
And it was heavenly.
First of all, the biscuit itself is quite mighty of diameter and baked to perfect golden goodness. Almost a little crispy on top, but not crunchy. I’m talking perfect.
And then!
And then!
In the middle is a big, breaded hunk of pork chop. Very tender, very tasty.
And on the top and the bottom of the pork chop, between the biscuits, are two hearty globs of SAUSAGE GRAVY.
I know what you’re thinking. “John, wouldn’t that get soggy and gross?”
I feared the same thing. And the answer is, “Not at all.”
I swung by Hardee’s on my way to work and it was about 15 minutes between buying it and eating it. The biscuit wasn’t soggy at all, and neither was the breading on the pork chop. There’s enough gravy to make it taste out of this world, but not so much that it gets soggy or gross or that you can’t eat it like a sandwich.
Check it out.
I know you want to.
I do.
Again.
Soon.

Dolemite actor and groundbreaking comedian Rudy Ray Moore passed away on Sunday at the age of 71.
I bought Dolemite on DVD shortly after getting my first DVD player at the urging of my friend Justin, who used to work with me at our town’s little mom-and-pop video store. He’d seen it at college and couldn’t wait to share it. I think I later got its sequel, The Human Tornado, as a gift.
These movies were made for nothing and it showed; microphones were seen as often as the “F” word was heard.
But there was much charm to be had from that simplicity, and Mr. Moore’s confidence was never anything less than entirely larger than life.
And many, many, many of today’s comedians and actors owe him much and probably don’t even know it.
Thank you for giving us so much of yourself, Rudy Ray.
