Now THAT'S interesting......

A long while back, just after IR moved in, one of the stories he told me in an effort to convince me of his brilliance was that at a little burger joint in Texas that he used to frequent (what're the odds of breakfast, lunch and dinner?) he 'created' a new burger.

This was the burger of all burgers. Double patty, double cheese, grilled onions, bacon and chili. He called it "The Heartstopper". He explained how he ordered it everyday for weeks, and finally found (cornered) the manager and told him about this magnanimous meal. Apparently, the manager was so completely impressed by this whole presentation that he put it on the menu after telling IR what a genius he was.


Fast forward to tonight, and a virtual repeat of the same story, again........

Only this time, there's a twist! This time, it was a burger place employee that told him about the "Heartstopper". Told him that he'd been bringin one home every night for months. (He had to weigh 600 pounds, if an ounce...)

So, it would seem as though good ole IR STOLE the idea of the "Heartstopper", took credit for it being placed on a menu at some hole in the wall burger joint somewhere in Texas, and accepted lauds for his 'genius' in doing so.

Just pitiful..........
