In Dreams, I am never eating
Am I ever gonna get my Ferrell's burger? I am eating almonds
out of a can and dreaming of a bacon cheesebruger with Ferrell's
onions. But I have no friends to come and take me to get one.
Ahhhhhhh, but we must have our dreams.

your burger sounds exquisite, so unlike my trashy food dreams ...
i used to be that way about white castle burgers. dumb, but i could eat them by the dozen.
and don't get me started on tacos.
Ferrell's is this local dive about 4 blocks from my house. I can walk outside and, at times, smell the burgers and onions.
I usually start craving one when I have had a little too much to drink, so I can't drive, and I can't walk lest I get picked up and charged with a PI. You can't do anything in this f***ing town without worrying you are going to get thrown in the cooler! So, I have to sit and salivate and dream about a Ferrellis burger!
