Anthem
I've been trying to convince Lain, upon reaching his weight-loss goal, for us to both lose a little extra, which we would then re-gain in the course of a weekend in which we would eat like no one has eaten before, crossing the South like a Sherman of gluttony.
And since every good adventure needs an anthem, I put together this little ditty to the tune of Simon & Garfunkel's "America":

"Let us eat burgers we'll buy some down at the Varsity"
"I've got some Steak Escape here in my bag
So we bought a pack of Raisinettes, and ate some diet pie
And walked off, to eat across America

" Dry ribs" I said as we entered a Corky's in Georgia
"I'll order up some ice cream for me now!"
It took us 4 days to eat our way to Huntsville
And we've gone to eat across America

Dreamlandin' is for us
Triple Play at the Chili's
Lain said the man in the Shoney Bear suit has some pie.
I said "Be careful the buffet is monitored on camera!"

"Toss me some Raisinettes, I think there's some with the carry-out."
"We ate the snow nuts an hour ago"
So we stopped for lunch in Tupelo, and you know what that means:
That the moon rose, over an Abner's spread!

"David, I'm stuffed" Lain said, though we knew he was kidding
There's still miles to go and things we must fry
Counting the carbs on the Avron B. Fogelman expressway
And we've gone to eat across America!
