England Mourns American Food Hero
I suppose we can let the Daily Mail headline speak for itself: "Dead at just 29, the 575lbs man who was the public face of high-calorie U.S. burger chain Heart Attack Grill." They do go on though: "The larger-than-life character is famous for promoting the gut-busting restaurant in Arizona with its unhealthy menu of huge hamburgers, milkshakes and fries cooked in lard." Flash-fried lard milkshakes! I'm in! And all this big talk from the country that invented deep-frying candy bars. For shame.
And let us not forget the sublime "Chip Butty".
Not to mention All Day Breakfast in a can: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sa_steve/2233649753/in/photostream/
I'm sure he went out with smile on his face.
I, for one, will miss our friend and colleague saythatscool. I will be one of the pallbearer/forklift operators at the internment.
So, uh, does this mean your mom's now available?
(Am I doing this right?)
she is! (but she said you're not doing it right)
@setec: You'll have to take that up with deepomega who had first dibs.
Don't worry, everyone. I've spoken to scrolly's mom, and her grief has taken the form of needing to run a train. PM me for details.
I've never heard of the guy, but the food at Heart Attack Grill isn't too bad. It's not as crazy as people make it out to be.
Those British (and Europeans in general) sure do love anything that backs up the stereotype of us as a country of freaks, fatties and fanatics.
The punchline here, of course: Tubbo "passed away from pneumonia after a bout of flu." Awww.
random!
You'd think that England didn't have a 22% obesity rate.
Should have been you, Guy Fieri.
Let England Shake Shack
They wouldn't be able to handle it.
Laugh, but "PJ Harvey's" is a legitimately kickass name for a chain of Johnny-Rockets-style burger joints. These are the words that maketh HUNGER! Satisfy your MAN-SIZE appetite!
Jamie Oliver is so going to be waving a picture of this guy around the next time he goes out terrorizing overweight schoolchildren.
See: plastic banana covers.
Gutty weeps.

He was too beautiful for this world. Wait, did I say 'beautiful'? I meant fat. He was too fat.
Let he who is without meat-flavored potato chips cast the first 10 stone. After leaving the pub, of course.
You'll have to take my Beef and Onion crisps from my cold, dead hands.
And it's the Scots who invented deep fried Mars Bars, don't lay that one at England's door.
And as anyone who has had a night out on Old Speckeled Hen knows that the Chip Butty is down right medicinal.
Birmingham is the EU's most obese city. Is that in Scotland?
