Great Ants!

Not the kind you dread having over for dinner...

(Okay, you dread this kind too.)

THEY are what begs the question... If a Bomke screams in her apartment and no one is around to hear, why is she screaming so loud?
A string of little black ants. Longer than it has taken me to get to the point here. Streaming out from under my oven, and into my dishwasher. A line, 10 ants deep. Crawling everywhere!
I flee, with wet hair and no make-up to the nearest drug store. Next to the hornet spray, only once choice: Combat's Killer Ant Homes (that may not have been the exact title). Anyway, the woman at the register tells me that these things have been selling like hot cakes. Apparently, it's ant season. Who knew? Well, I guess I do now. My question to you is... so I put out the little homes, now what? How do I get rid of these little boogers? There are ant carcasses all over my kitchen. My News Director tells me that they come back for their dead. He might just be messing with me though, he likes to do that sometimes, and he's very good at concealing what he's really thinking.
Don't come to me if there's a trail of ants in your office boss... unless your coming with a raise, to help get rid of the ants.

Big Burger Blunder

I made a burger blunder. And all thanks to Sandra Lewis (see message below) I got caught in the pickle.

name: Sandra Lewis
city: Sacramento, CA 95823

Natalie,

I just bought the heart stopper burger and the price was $17.20 (with choice of side). I understood your segment to say $11. thanking you again for your time.

Sandra... you my friend are correct. When I gave the price for the burger... 11 dollars... it was for the mini version of "The Heart Stopper" at Hangar 17. Whoops! The big version is $15.95. I am so sorry!
If you have no idea what I'm talking about... my latest Sacramento Scene profiled a burger that claims to be the biggest in Sac. And while it may not be the biggest (I'm told Ford's is) it certainly is stacked with the strangest ingredients. And I'd be willing to bet a side of fries that it is the tallest burger in Sacto. Anyway... I digress. Check the story out on Fox40.com.
