big jud's.

since yesterday megan and i have been planning on visiting the filling station (delicious hamburger place) today after she got home from class. she came home and we headed off on our way. however, in the saddest turn of events in my life, we made it to the filling station only to find out that they now close at 3 monday thru thursday. we were very upset, but, megan suggested we make a visit to big jud's. i have not been to big jud's yet, although i had heard about it many times and have been told it is one of those, "must do"'s while up here in rexburg, so i decided this was good idea. now, big jud's is famous because ..... they have a ONE POUND BURGER!!!! i know what you are all thinking, thats disgusting. and you would be right, it really is disgusting. it is huge! not many people can finish a whole big jud's by themselves. so ... if you do finish a whole big jud's by yourself, you get your picture on the wall! and you get a t-shirt. so it is probably worth all of the sickness and, excuse my language, vomiting, just so you can get a t-shirt and get your picture on the wall!! well, needless to say, i was not even about to try and eat one, i got a normal sized hickory bacon burger. it was pretty good, but not as good as the filling stations bacon cheese burger! so good! anyways, right after you order your food they bring a small plate out for each of you, and some ketchup and FRY SAUCE!! (one of my favorite things about rexburg = fry sauce. i love it!!) megan explained to me that they bring you these things for you to have something fun to do while you wait for your food. this is what megan did.

and this is what i did!

i definitely was not bored while i waited for my food! i also enjoyed looking at all of the pictures on the wall of people who had eaten the big jud. i was impressed by a lot of them. the pictures of the people who have finished a one pounder probably take up a 2ft by 4ft space on the wall. then they have pictures of people who have finished a double pounder and those pictures take up a 2ft by 2ft space on the wall. and then there are about 4 pictures of people who have finished triple pounders, the most impressive there was a picture of a "team eating", but the two people who ate and finished a triple were two 12 year old boys! impressive! but, the most impressive, and disgusting of them all, was a father son team, (son was probably around 12 as well), and together they finished a FIVE POUNDER!! thats right people, five pounds of hamburger on a bun, and these two ate it all! along with fries and a drink, because you have to finish those too for it to count!. i think big jud's would be really fun to go to with a bunch of people, you could order the big jud, split it, and end up paying like 2 dollars a person. nice. all in all it was really fun, but i would rather go the filling station any day of the week.

today i am thankful for:

* a mother who taught me enough for me to know that trying to eat a one pound hamburger by myself is NOT a smart idea.

* megan!! megan is always willing to go places and do stuff with me, and it makes life fun!

* and again, megan! haha, megan helps me plan fhe every monday and i dont know what i would do without her help.

* stephanie, and the fun times we have talking in fake accents and watching boys skateboard around church parking lots.
