Why I hate the singing Burger King employee

Love me, Daddy!

 So this morning, in-between showering and throwing up  – Fox ran a story about a Burger King employee from Concord, NH and the shenanigans he’s gotten himself into. 

The lad in question didn’t piss in the pickle jar or jerk off in the mayo – this fool has the audacity of singing at work and evidently his love for belting out a tune annoyed someone. Word came down from the Burger King himself that employee needs to zip or find another job. 

For whatever reason, people love this guy and have freaked out. Now me personally? I hate the guy. Why? Well, let me tell you. 

He’s an attention whore. He’s a guy at a shit job, that people more than likely wouldn’t give a shit about and he’s probably gone through his whole life lacking human contact. So he started singing to get the attention he’s been so desperate for. Stop it. If you want to sing while serving someone – get into dinner theater. 

If I’m going to BK, I’m more than likely pissed I have to eat that crap and I don’t want some ass who wasn’t hugged enough as a kid serenading me and reminding what I pig I am by eating their food. It’s like the people who try to hold conversations with you when you’re in the drive thru. Just take my money and have a nice day – I don’t  like to make small talk with my friends & family, so why would I want to make it with the meth head who’s taking my order at the Lawrence Taco Bell? 

The BK singer, Chuck Muphree, is 27 years old has been working at Burger King for the last ten years. Ten years and he’s a cashier. If you’re working at Burger King for 10 years, you should be at least a Burger Lord – not a cashier. I mean do you have any other aspirations in your life? 

Murphee told the Concord Monitor and after speaking to his manager, he said, “I told him straight out this was going to be hard for me because I have a happy outlook about life and I express myself by singing.” Well, I’m going to have a hard time believing that you have a happy outlook on life after jockeying a register at Burger King for 10 damn years. 

But that’s just me. The general public loves him. There’s a facebook page for this guy and they want him signing again. They majority of them are kids, which leads me to think he was either buying them booze or dealing drugs on the side. Which makes this story creepier…. 

If you want to sing, form a band or try out for American Idol. Just don’t work at my Starbucks or I’ll be forced to throw hot coffee in your face.

Huffing Paint Makes Everything Better

Wow. It’s been awhile? Huh? If you haven’t figured it out I’ve been focusing all my energy on the new site(if you haven’t checked out Beantown Athletic Supporters – YOU SHOULD!). It’s growing like crazy, I’m working with some great ladies and we still have some kinks to work out, but I see nothing but good things in the end. 

I’m going to be using CameronFrye.com as more of a place to write about OT nonsense and my life. Which could be a good and a bad thing, especially considering the laundry list of over zealous readers I’ve had. But I’ve received enough emails from people asking me to come back – so no time like the present. So get use to reading the ramblings of a crazy lady. Wooo Hoo! Isn’t the internet fun? 

So what’s new? Well, I’m a ball of stress and writing here is exactly what the doctor ordered. For those of you not in the know, I’m going into hospital in April. Nothing too crazy, but it’s a private matter. Ok, you twisted my arm. I’m having Jenn Sterger’s recently removed implants put in. I’m ‘reinventing’ myself. Haha.*rolls eyes* Kidding, it’s nothing crazy, don’t worry. I’m just finally taking care of myself and I’ll be out in 4 days and on medical leave for three weeks. You know you’re jealous. 

The idea of being away from everything I know is so sublime, you have no idea. I’m not 100% happy…. scratch that I’m not 50% happy with my professional life – but in this economy, you have to take what you can get and make the best of a bad situation. I won’t go into the gory details, but they don’t make life easy and 4 out of the 5 days of the work week, I’m going home in tears. Kelly Cutrone would be so disappointed in me. 

The bottom line is, I have no one to blame – but myself for most of my stress. I let people walk all over me – because I don’t want conflict and I want to make sure everyone is happy. Which I’m sure you all think is weird, considering how I come off to most. I’m not dumb and I know the phrase cold and cunty have been used to describe me, but they’re called defense mechanisms, duh? haha It’s gotten to the point where I feel like people are taking advantage of me and my ever so pleasant demeanour and this is where I get into trouble. Crap like this turns me into a ticking time bomb - so consider yourself warned. Thank God I have some amazing people in my life who won’t judge me(well, not too much!) and will listen to me bitch & moan. 

So now what? All I can do is keep my eye on the prize and try not to go crazy. Easier said than done. These last few weeks, I’ve been carrying all my stress in my stomach and I fell asleep at 6:30 last night. I’m like an old person. I’m going to start having dinner at 4 in the afternoon – I already get up at the ass crack of dawn, so this was bound to happen. 

Is it wrong that I’m almost considering the recovery process a 3 week vacation? I have to be the only person who’s excited to be heavily medicated and loaded up on painkillers because it’s going to be a way for me to get away from it all. Christ, my eyes are welling up in tears as I type this. What’s wrong with me? haha Maybe I should take up paint huffing to make all the sadness go away? 

"I'm living in a world of darkness...."

Show me that smile again….

Am I wrong in thinking that Danile Paille looks like the slighty slower, younger brother to former teen dream turned God Squader, Kirk Cameron?

Where's Boner??

I really hope Daniel doesn’t walk around the Garden informing his teammates that they’re going to hell for not accepting Jesus. That would be a little awkward for  someone…

Hunwick’s Fine Form

It’s that time of year again for Stuff Boston’s Bodies by Boston issue. Boston Bruin, Andrew Ference,  graced the pages two years ago and this year the honors is betowed onto Matt Hunwick.

The Bruins defenseman talked to Stuff Boston about his season ending injury during the playoffs when he ruptured his spleen during the Bruins/Habs series. Hunwick’s photo features the war wound he received during the Bruins battle  for the Stanley Cup and it’s also more proof that scars are hot.

Nice hair, Dick!

Now, I know all about the comb over – but what’s it called when you brush your hair completely forward to cover up your receding hair-line?

Could you find a less appealing hairdo?

 Time and karma are harsh mistresses, son. If anything, he’s drawing more attention to it and looks worse. Just shave it. It worked for Steve Begin!

Ristuccia Rink Report 1/11/10

Greetings from chilly Wilmington! I braved the cold today to watch the Bruins practice before they jet off for their West Coast series tomorrow morning.
Gone were the playful, light-hearted Bruins who usually take to the practice ice. This team was physical, determined, and showed more desperation than they have exhibited during the past few games. Practice consisted mostly of game-situation drills and short scrimmages; emphasizing puck possession, capitalizing on (and subsequently, recovering from) turnovers, and maintaining pressure into the corners. Their intensity was rather refreshing, after their lackluster efforts coming into today. As Blake Wheeler said earlier this week, “We have to quit treating this like it’s a privilege and a right of ours to come and play in front of 18,000 people every night. And start playing like it’s the most important thing to us. For whatever reason, I think we lost sight of that night in and night out.” Hopefully this attitude is shared with his teammates and they can start turning things around.

Byron Bitz was dressed and joined the team, without signs of injury or the back pain that has kept him out of the lineup as of late.

Most noticeable was the change in offensive lines. Today saw lines of Lucic, Bégin, Whitfield; Wheeler, Krejci, Ryder; Thornton, Paille, Sobotka; and Sturm, Recchi, Satan. Perhaps this shake-up is something that the Bruins need to regain their composure and recover from missing so many of their major play-makers. Let’s hope so.

Wheeler at bat

The serious air of purpose remained until the players began their cool-down. Thornton led the stretches, lightening the mood as he did so. Afterwards, some of the senior Bruins left the ice, and the young guns were left to goof off. Wheeler, Krejci and Sobotka were last to hit the showers, and entertained themselves by playing baseball while rounding up the pucks.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Wilmington without the fans. Today’s included a girl who shouted at the players that they were “cute,” made signs reinforcing this and held them to the glass. Honey, Shawn Thornton may have laughed when you held up your sign, but he was laughing at YOU and shaking his head. They’re at work; this is their job. If you thought a video store clerk was hot, would you shout at him and wave signs around while he shelved DVDs? On second thought, don’t answer that. Even the men were at it today, as one of them sniped Sobotka’s attempt to give me his stick (that’s what she said?). This was the same guy who loudly asked “Where’s Maaahk Savaahd?” and banged on the glass as if he were at the zoo. At least Sobotka broke his stick before handing it to the guy, and gave me an apologetic shrug.  It’s ok Vlado, we’re still BFFs.

Until next time,

Baby Ryder Goes Bad

COMING SOON!! Cops : Newfoundland!

Daniel Ryder, lil’brother of Boston Bruin, Micheal Ryder, was arrested yesterday for robbing a convenience store. According to reports, Ryder will be “…charged with armed robbery, using a disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence, using a firearm in the commission of an offence, and theft under $5,000.”

Daniel Ryder was released from the Providence Bruins (Hmmm…I wonder why?)  at the end of last season after signing a 25 game tryout contract with them in February of 2009. He was originally drafted by the Calgary Flames in 2005 and won the 2006 Wayne Gretzky 99 MVP during the ‘06 Ontario Hockey League Playoffs. Wayne must be proud.

Thanks to Kukla’s Korner for the tip!

Bruins Practice January 6, 2010 – No one REALLY likes Wideman!

Iron Men On Ice!

Bruins practice was suppose to start at 11:30, but somewhere between last night’s win and this morning, practice became optional. I didn’t know this, and arrived at Ristuccia at 10:30, and saw Patrice Bergeron arrive, with laptop. (Maybe he had some e-mails to catch up on?) Bitz and Julian arrived shortly after. When my friend Colleen arrived, we headed into the Ice Box.

As we waited (And waited) for the Bruins to take the ice; Wheeler, Morris, Boychuk and Savard all came in together through a side door. I yelled out “HI Blake Wheeler!” and got nothing in return. Whatever, Wheels!  Denis Wideman arrived, alone, and quickly went into the locker room.

The waiting continued and Colleen and I debated whether or not the Bruins were going to hit the ice, or if they were doing off ice training. Finally we decided to brave the weather and stand outside to see the players arrive (leave?). Outside were about 7 – 10 autograph hounds, with their stuff to sell on E-Bay. These people amaze me! For the most part, none of them know one player from the next and constantly ask “Who’s that?” then scramble to find something for that player to sign.

We saw Thornton and Bitz leave, each with their own Winter Classic jersey. Neither said why they had them. Wheeler came out, no jersey in his hand, and walk right by me. Again, I said “Hi Wheels!” and NOTHING!! Now, I know I’m short, but he’s not deaf! Blake Wheeler, you are dead to me!

Wideman came out then and no one….NO ONE stopped him for an autograph. I actually felt bad. So bad, that when Wideman said hi to me, I said hi back. But I didn’t like doing it.

Now I could hear noise coming from inside the rink and went in to see who was there. Milan Lucic, Mark Stuart (yay!)  Adam McQuaid and Patrice Bergeron were on the ice, with Tuukka Rask in net. Bergeron was working with John Whitesides, on one side of the rink; while the others trained with Doug Houda. Bergy did mostly skating and shooting drills, while the others did a timed shooting drill that turned into a skating drill. After Looch and Stuey failed to score on Rask; each had to skate back and forth, on the short part of the rink, four times. However, when Looch did score on Rask, Tuukka had to do the same, resulting in an over excited Tuukka slamming into the boards and sliding into the net. Needless to say, everyone had a good laugh. I thought Stuart looked great out there and was keeping up easily with Lucic. It will be a race between him and Bergeron on who will return, to the line-up, first.

Chara made an appearance, inside the rink. He spoke with a few people and said hello to the four fans, myself included, sitting in the stands. (See Wheeler! Chara said HI to me!).

By now it was 2pm, and everyone was finishing up. I had to leave to pick up my little guy from school, plus my feet were so cold, they were starting to hurt.

Don’t Fuck With The Stars & Bars, Son!

Team USA came back and beat Team Canada 6-5, last night during the gold medal round of the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship.  Last night’s victory was only the second time the USA has won the Gold and the sixth time Team USA has received a medal in the 30+ year old tournament. Team Canada had been at the top for the last 5 years, but failed to strike gold(GET IT!) again this year.

Team USA also featured a few players with roots in Mass. David Warsofsky is from Marshfield and plays for Boston University. Boxford’s Chris Kreider plays for Boston College and Ryan Bourque of Boxford, who comes hockey family some of you might be familiar with….
