  • I had a Whopper and fries at Booger King last year for the first time in a couple of decades. With a drink it was like $20 which is pretty absurd. It actually tasted pretty good and the fries were fresh out of the fryer (which is basically what makes fries good), but I just felt so physically bad after eating. I don’t know what it was, probably the massive amount of salt in it.



  • I had a friend in graduate school who drove an actual fucking Yugo. I rode in it once and started to roll the window down and he yelled “DON’T TOUCH THAT!” and the handle came off. Last guy in the world I would have thought was rich but he invited me to his family’s house one weekend and it was a fucking compound of which the mansion was only part. His other car was a Range Rover.

    He didn’t really try to intentionally deceive anybody, he just never mentioned his wealth and of course he drove a Yugo. He lived in the same sort of shitty graduate student apartment that everybody else lived in. We talked about it once and he said that when people knew he came from money he couldn’t have real friendships with anybody. They all wanted money from him or at least couldn’t act normally around him. He could be friends with other rich kids but he hated them, to his credit.

    Not all heirs are worth a chair.
