Of course this was going to be depressingly good, but not as good as the Three Little Pigs from Silver Palm.

I just love that your snap descriptions/judgments of the different burgers are PERFECT. Love a Big Mac like once a year when The Urge hits - it's just its own thing and delightful in its own way. Ditto Whopper though that's more like every other year. It's garbage but it has a very specific taste that I love (rarely).

Baconator is just....whatever. Not interesting. Over the top. Every once in a blue moon I do want a Wendy's Jr Cheeseburger Deluxe. That's a good fast food burger. The giant hunk of iceberg and the exceedingly soft bun is just a good mix somehow.

Davida wins the punch line! Having a partner in self destruction is essential. Have you considered a cannabis gummy tasting using them as mix-ins to ice cream? Grain free pasta bake off? Unnatural acts with rotisserie chicken? I could this up all day.

"Now, I’ve never broken a bone or needed surgery, other than having my wisdom teeth removed ages ago. I get nervous when my blood gets drawn (but weirdly, getting shots is totally fine). So the idea of having a tube down my throat despite being sedated wasn’t very appealing."

I feel that 100%, except never even had wisdom teeth removed. We get older, I am told there are certain, ah, penetrative checkups coming, and I really think to myself, "I would rather cease to exist than do these things." At least you got a rocking cheeseburger out of the ordeal, and I hope you continue to feel better. Your absurdity makes the world a bit better.

Having had to get a colonoscopy, I can assure you the prep is absolutely the worst part of the whole thing. The procedure was painless, Propofol is a magical thing.
