The Burger Theory
It was late Saturday night & I was in a booth with Cobie Thatcher, chowing down on the most delicious burger I had ever tasted, (Mango & Avacado, welcome to Burger Town, my tastebuds High Five you) when she gets a DUI call from her.um, well its complicated, so lets just call him a friend. She goes out to take the call and leave me alone with my quarter pound of awesome. I was interrupted by Cobies confused face. She explained that her friend, after she told him where she was, asked for her to bring him a burger. As in, a delivery service of sorts. Now, kids, Cobie was a girl well smarter than the numbers in her Years, but sometimes.she was really naive.
I had to explain to her, in my condescending, lecturing Dad kind of way, that state that we all get in when were drunk. You know the ones, your partying away 200 miles away from home, & you turn to your buddy and say Oh man, thats it.Im going to bed. But your not really. First you have to endure that sobering hellish train trip back to the south side of the city surrounded by overly bright lights and..Im getting off track. No metaphor is really needed here, so just asked her Havent you ever just likereeeeealy wanted a burger, or a shake or fries, or all of the above at one point during your drunkening, despite being at least 10 miles away from the nearest fast food outlet?
Yeah, I know. It sounds bleedingly obvious. But Cobie just had that Deer-In-The-Headlights look in her eyes, it too, in turn put me in a perplexed state. I just had to assure her that he was joking. But then it hit me.
She was so utterly smitten over this guy, that she was willing to do something as ridiculous as buy a $15 gourmet cheeseburger, drive it half an hour down the road and deliver it, most likely cold, into the hands of her lover.
So, it got me thinking. Ive always wanted a pretty girl to cook for and comfort me, and when I find someone whos not only willing, but happy to do something like that..well, I know Ill have found someone truly special.

So what did she do? Get the burger for him or not?
The more I read the word 'burger' the hungrier I am.................mmmmMMMMmmmmm.
1. Cobie comes out with me, we have a lovely night
2. She spends the last quarter of the evening whinging & complaining about her 'boyfriend' ' s selfishness
3. She always ends up going over his place regardless.
