The fried butter was marginal at best. More like a donut with no sugar. Pretty sure this kid just has ADHD, and there's a screening booth for that, right next to the Scientology and Sleep Apnea testing booths. I much preferred the Fried Guacamole and the Green Goblins. And yes I have a normal BMI but to show solidarity with Balk and his choice of videos, I'm leaving for Palm Springs where I plan to spend the entire weekend not getting fat women pregnant. Meh.
