Who would even think of making something like this in the first place? Hmm what sounds good? Oh i know! Lets put eggs wrapped in bacon in sausage meat and breading.
I've still got my eyes on the doughnut cheeseburger with fried egg. I swear, I'd eat that even if it had bacon in it. Sure, I'd have to go on a detox diet immediately after, but it looks so damn good.
Check this one out. It's called a turducken, I know it has the word 'turd' in it but it's actually made out of Turkey, Duckand Chicken Pretty gross huh? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken
I'm vegetarian, and I agree that looks disgusting. Showing pictures of tofu like this is the main reason people laugh at vegetarians, and I don't blame them. This 'tofu' photo is accurate, for 1980. There are so many tofo products now that look and taste like chicken, beef, etc, with the full flavoring, I've fooled many meat eaters into thinking they were eating meat. Regular tofu, in the white block form, tastes like nothing, and showing ancient outmoded photos of it with 'this is all you need' is not helping anyone change their mind. It's like showing an 8-track tape when we have mp3's.
My Dad used to play these in the 70's all the time. The cool thing was that many were 4 channel 'Quadraphonic' and we had one of the first 4 speaker surround systems in town. It really worked if you were in the right spot. The problem was of course, the size of the 8 track, and the bleed through of channels. During a quiet passage on one song you could hear music from another channel. Worst of all, if the song was long, and didn't fit on one of the 4 channels, they would fade it out, then it would make a loud click (ka chunk!) over to the next channel and fade in again. I still hear CCR's 'I heard it through the grapevine' with memories of fading in and out because of damn 8-tracks.
Actually...while it looks gross (a bit)...it's actually quite good. Though, tbqh, when eating that thing (which I've only done once) I tend to side with the duck. I dunno...there's something about duck with a side of cranberry stuffing that just hits the spot.
It's a misnomer. Health care in the US is virtually second to none in the world. It's the health insurance system that completely sucks, or, more precisely, completely sucks for the vast middle class. If you are wealthy, you have enough to cover your costs. If you are poverty stricken, there's Medicaid. If, however, you fall into that vast middle class that doesn't make enough to cover all costs, but makes too much nonetheless for the government to help out, then it's a major headache. In Europe (and elsewhere) they've come to think of the two things as one whole: health care. But this too is a misnomer, as one deals with providing medical services and quality of said service while the other with paying for said services. Even in Europe, internally within the governments, there are bean counters pinching pennies here and there, trying to cover costs. There is no real magic bullet as of yet.
I have honestly never seen one of those before. The oldest pieces of technology I've seen/used in person are cassettes, VHS tapes, and 8-bit mario game cartridges at a flea market.
