The Double Filet-O-Fish Playlist

Kid Lulu is in her Happy Meal phase now. Every day, the kid asks for a Happy Meal. For better or worse (okay, worse), this coincides with my Filet-O-Fish phase, which is now in its 38th year.

After taking Lu to the library Sunday (see, I'm not a horrible Dad, just a porky one), we hit Mickey D's. Like some sort of religious beacon, a sun-kissed poster on the side of the building advertised the Double Filet-O-Fish. Of course, I thought. What took them so long? My lord, it was a glorious sandwich, twice the tingly pleasure. Accordingly, I used not one, but two ketchup cups, one per deep-fried square, and then ate that blessed behemoth over a hot bed of fries, the tartar-ketchup bombs splattering down with artery-clogging glee. Awesome. Just awesome.

I was worthless for hours afterward. And those sharp pains running down my arm can't be good. But lemme tell you, folks, that sandwich brought me great joy. In fact, I loved it so much, I want to dedicate a few songs to it. (By the way, the "Double" is around 800 calories, 36 grams of total fat. I should be dead by Thursday.)

The only thing worse than that mystery meat is that mystery sauce that goes on it--YUCK!!!

I'll never begrudge someone their indulgences, but I can think of a few hundred other ways I'd prefer to ruin my diet.

Oh well, to each his own.

I felt myself get fatter just by reading this...ha ha ha!! Damn, these playlist suggestions are harsh. I applaud you, however, for openly admitting a guilty pleasure that makes most of us cringe...

"Roly Poly" - Hank Williams

Something slightly more positive:

And while it's the name of an album, one cannot forget

"I Am the Walrus" is pretty damn funny.

Wow, I distinctly remember the last time I ate one of those double decker fish product sandwiches. My entire body felt slimy after consumption. I felt like I needed a bath because my sweat wasn't sweat, it was filet o'fat.
It was deliciously decadent going down. However, the results of eating it etched a memory that keeps me from diving in again. Jeez, I need a TUMS just thinking about it. *burp* excuse me.

[NickWithAnAxe]

Wow.

Double filet-o-fish sandwiches?? Funyons??

After death, you'll never decompose. You'll be like one of those leathery corpses they haul out of peat-bogs in Scotland...just slighty more rotund.

All by Spinal Tap - I think they must indulge in Double FoF frequently. Thank you McD's for my future job security.

[Sean Daly]

If Mel Brooks says "chicken" is the funniest word in the English language, then "peat-bogs" is definitely second.

[jane]

DoctorDrew, you are a man after my own heart, sharing the appropriate songs from the Tap oeuvre. I'm trying to maneuver "Sex Farm Woman" into this, but so far, no luck.

Funniest word in the English language, as far as I'm concerned? Underpants. It's 15% funnier than underwear. At least.
