Some people will do anything for a thrill. Take, for instance, all the sickos running around snorting asparagus powder, giving birth in Hardee’s parking lots, and accusing immigrants for the foie-gras-doughnut craze that’s been gripping the nation Brooklyn.

• An employee at a combination Taco Bell-KFC in New York announced his resignation in an unusual way: by arranging the restaurant’s outdoor marquee to read, “I Quit - Adam. Fuck You.” The message was followed by a smiley face, presumably to soften the blow. [WIVB 4]

• An off-duty McDonald’s manager in Georgia was charged with assault and battery after allegedly punching a mother in the face. The attacker is said to have become irate because the woman had brought in a service dog with her two autistic children. [Atlanta Journal-Constitution]
• A Colorado man was arrested after he was caught with two metal sheep that had been stolen from an area restaurant. Police were alerted by workers at a local metal recycling plant, where the man was trying to sell the statues. [ABC Denver]
