Except he must call 999 or 112 - the former is the traditional emergency number in the UK, I believe, while 112 is what's used all over Europe. If you use a cell phone, though, I think both 911 and 112 will work more or less anywhere in the world.

E.g. in South Africa you must call 10111 to get to the police, but 112 works from cell phones.

I heard the new number in the UK is 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3

Red beer maybe?

I dunno.

But I got a complaint.

I was OK when bacon moved in on my lunch or evening meal, the good old American cheeseburger. After all, bacon, right?

So now eggs are getting in on the game.

Where will it all end?

As to the beer; no.
Mylanta is better.

As to the egg:
The first time I had an egg on a burger I was somwhere along the Alcan Highway somewhere between the Alaska border and Calgary in 1978. I ordered a Cheeseburger Deluxe. The egg was the difference between the regular cheeseburger and the deluxe. It's not a new idea, but the first I ever saw it on a menu in the US was about 3 years ago at a T. G. I. Friday's.

My glazed doughnut egg McBob.
I only made this one time, a few years back, still recovering.

Sickie's has a doughnut burger, but I've not tried one.

That just sounds so wrong.

The steampunk festival and Six Flags sound like fun.
I'll pass on the Cornhole League, thanks. I'm tempted to Google it, but I think I'll forgo even that.

Here's the 2017 championship:

That makes about much sense as your latest "proof" that the Earth is spherical

I guess, if you like chess, but I confess, I couldn't care less about chess.
