I guess the salsa is low-cal. There is a ballpark in Michigan who will be offering up major league cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories in an enormous hamburger being added to the menu this year. The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all on an 8-inch sesame-seed bun. That’s a lot of dough!  It’s also reported that anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie behemoth in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt…and maybe a free trial of some Cholesterol meds.

SEEKING EXTRAS FOR THE FEATURE FILM
UNTITLED CROWLEY PROJECT
STARRING HARRISON FORD, BRENDAN FRASER, KERI RUSSELL

EXTRAS ONLY Casting Company and Casting Director Danny Stoltz are excited to announce we are casting all the extras, featured, stand-ins and photo doubles for the feature film “THE UNTITLED CROWLEY PROJECT”. We will be casting approx. 2,000 extras of ALL AGES and ALL TYPES! Filming starts in April and will shoot in Oregon for 3 months! Extras do not need to be completely available for the duration of filming, some people will work only 1 or 2 days and some will repeat in different scenes working multiple days.

This is an uplifting, inspirational drama inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family’s future to pursue a cure for his children’s life-threatening disease. John Crowley (Fraser) is a successful corporate marketer and his career is on the fast track. But at the height of his success, he walks away from it all with his wife (Russell) by his side. Harnessing all his skills and determination, he teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Stonehill (Ford). Together they form a company focused on developing a life-saving enzyme. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save the ones he loves, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle corporate bureaucracy in a fight against the system. But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test – the outcome of which will affect the fate of John’s children. Directed by Tom Vaughan (“What Happens in Vegas”)

Ever find yourself in an argument with your spouse and wonder…how did we get here?  It’s probably because you used one of the so called, “forbidden” words that women often use.

* Fine — This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are right and you need to shut up. Never use “fine” to describe how a woman looks – this will cause you to have one of those arguments.
* Five Minutes — This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it’s an even trade.
* Nothing — This means “something,” and you should be on your toes. “Nothing” is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. “Nothing” usually signifies an argument that will last “Five Minutes” and end with “Fine.”
* Go Ahead (With Raised Eyebrows!) — This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over “Nothing” and will end with the word “Fine”
* Go Ahead (Normal Eyebrows) — This means “I give up” or “do what you want because I don’t care” You will get a “Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead” in just a few minutes, followed by “Nothing” and “Fine” and she will talk to you in about “Five Minutes” when she cools off.
* Loud Sigh — This is not actually a word, it is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A “Loud Sigh” means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment, and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over “Nothing.”
* Soft Sigh — Again, not a word, but a non-verbal statement. “Soft Sighs” mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay content.
* That’s Okay — This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. “That’s Okay,” means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have done. “That’s Okay” is often used with the word “Fine” and in conjunction with a “Raised Eyebrow.”
* Go Ahead! — At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.
* Please Do — This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn’t get a “That’s Okay.”
* Thanks — A woman is thanking you. Do not faint!! Just say you’re welcome.
* Thanks A Lot — This is much different from “Thanks.” A woman will say, “Thanks A Lot” when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way, and will be followed by the “Loud Sigh.” Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the “Loud Sigh,” as she will only tell you “Nothing.”

I guess they used criteria such as the number of professional sports teams, the popularity of hardware stores, the number of sports bars and the frequency of monster truck rallies.  As part of the ranking process, cities lost manly points for having emasculating characteristics such as high minivan sales, an abundance of home furnishing stores and high subscription rates to beauty magazines.

Here’s the complete list of “America’s Manliest Cities”:

• Nashville, TN
• Charlotte, NC
• Oklahoma City, OK
• Cincinnati, OH
• Denver, CO
