Well, not exactly meal time entertainment for the masses. However, I read this while eating my supper and wasn't faze at all; I guess after 7 years working with 2 and 3 years in a daycare my ewww factor has been desensitized.

I'm desensitized too. My just telling you what I've eaten through would probably make a significant percentage of readers puke. So yeah, this story was really mild for me! -rc

Two, all-beef patties, pimple sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun! YUM! (barf!)

Well... Gee, even Alfred Hitchcock wouldn't put this in a movie. Did not Holmes tell us, that truth is stranger than fiction? Kudos!

I just read this whole thing while eating pizza for dinner, didn't bother me one bit. As a mom of 3, I've just about seen everything there is to see regarding grossness, bodily fluids, etc.

I wondered how he was squeezing his own pimples. Thanks for clearing that up.

Secret sauce? Indeed.

I have it on good authority from ex pizza deliverers that on a repeat visit, if the people didn't tip them last time, then they either spit on the pizza or swipe some of the goodies on top of it.

We buy frozen pizza now.

Poppin'Fresh, the When the Cops Come Go Boy.

Wellll, he popped one and the customers started runnin', There wasn't quite as many as there was awhile ago.
He popped one more and the cops came a'gunnin',
Sent Poppin' Fresh a' runnin'
Lookin'for a place to hide where his pimples wouldn't show.
(RIP Johnny Horton)

I can't believe I didn't think of calling him "Poppin' Fresh D'oh Boy" myself! -rc

I prefer to gross McDonald's out. Usually I'll ask for their Fried Carcass, or maybe some Scorched Animal Flesh On a Bun. Let me tell you, they got NO sense of humor.

I not only wasn't squicked by the tag line, but I saw it coming as soon as I saw "McDonald's" and "pimples".

My guess is that he had just one serious pimple, in a spot that's possible to reach but too awkward to get enough leverage to properly clean it out, which is why he kept at it for several minutes. (I've been there.)

I lived with a couple for a year: a biologist and a nurse. We had fascinating dinner conversations. Once, the biologist unwittingly cleared about 1/3 of a restaurant on the biomechanics of rigor mortis -- while he was speaking very low. It was just a quiet place and his back was to the room. I would watch folks eavesdrop, blanch, and get the check. Except for one guy -- who interrupted at one point with "can you back up". The biologist was in full didactic mode, answered the question, and the guy said "Please continue". A very fond memory.

I'm still trying to figure out how the guy was popping them on his back -- detachable arm? (If so, I want one!!)
