The Weekend: ATL RLR GRLS
The only thing done for fun on the weekend was Sunday’s rollerderby match at Stone Mt. I’m not sure, but we were guessing at least 300 people were there for the complete stomping of the Denim Demons by the Apocalypstix. Great skating by the winning team.
Why am I so liking rollerderby? It’s local, cheap and great fun. What’s not to like. Looking forward to the last two local matches.
Free Rollerderby Tickets: Sweet!
It pays to have WRAS‘s number on the cell phone.
I won tickets to Sunday’s rollerderby. I was already planning on going, and now my wife said she would drive. So all the money not spent on tickets can now go to beer.
And my Muse tickets came in as well.
Summer in Atlanta is turning out just fine!

Girls Gone Wild: Denim Demons vs. the Toxic Shocks
We missed all the fun at Dogwood Fest, but did see the Atlanta Rollergirls out at Stone Mountain. My sweetie won tickets from the good college station (88.5) so we got in for free. We stayed for 2 of the 3 periods, so we didn’t get to see who one the game. It was much fun, but the band that played sucked.
And that’s what we did instead.
Food That Will Kill You!.. Right Here in Atlanta
When I was a kid, I would come home from school and sometimes make;
A peanut butter, potato-chip, dill pickle and apple jelly sandwich,
and a glass of half Pepsi/chocolate milk.
Yummm!
Now that I am an adult, I knew I had to change my eating habits. So, when I heard of the Luther Burger, I had to investigate. Luckily for me, I hit paydirt in Atlanta.
First stop, Mulligan’s (Google Map), home of the Luther and the Hamdog.
The Luther was the creation of singer Luther Vandross, who when found his kitchen lacking hamburger buns, used donuts instead. Mulligan’s started serving Vandross’ creation to the people as a public service, and there was much rejoicing. If you have recently watched the The Boondocks on Cartoon Network, the Luther was featured in the Granddad’s soulfood restaurant.
The Luther picture above comes from the Texas Burger Guy’s Luther Burger and Hamdog Pictures!!!!! post. The site is loaded with burger joint reviews and pictures from around the country.
Mulligan’s second contribution was the Hamdog.
The picture says it all. The helpful diagram come from the absolutely Not-Safe-For-Work! site Consumption Junction. Seriously. NWS.
Moving away from Mulligan’s, is Ann’s Snack Bar, home of the Ghetto Burger.
Ann’s is good food served with a heavy hand. She takes no lip and you better know what you want or you will be out on you ass with no food. There ‘s a list of rules on the wall that are not to be broken. Think I’m joking. here’s one review on Citysearch…
“I recently had surgery on my back and couldn’t sit down, and all Ann could say was read the rule sign and you should have gone to a place where you could standup. I will never go there again and I will advise all my friends never to go there either.”
So, either be ready to take any order given or don’t go to Ann’s.
So, if anyone local is itching to hit these spots, I’m looking for company to join me. Drop me a line and be ready to push the wheelchair.

Also included are pictures from the Vegas 2005 RollerCon, which was host to a huge number of roller derby girls and apparently included some Atlanta team members. The picture below was shot by NeonPoisoning friend Beatnik Sidearm at the notorious Double Down Saloon.
