Drats, Burger Flippers! I came here looking for some juicy book gossip and instead was thrown headfirst down a most painful memory lane by your little Hamburglar graphic. During my days as a real-live burger flipper (with the fry bin burn scars to prove it), I wore the Hamburglar costume at a few kids' parties. (Hey, the costume fit, and I wanted to make the extra $3.65 an hour).
Putting smiles on the faces of little children would have made wearing the deadly hot costume, in FLORIDA, in the SUMMER worthwhile. But the kids were terrible ingrates who kicked my shins and screamed "It's a girl!" when they saw my ponytail sticking out from the back of the giant Hamburglar head. Thanks for making me relive that particular hell, Burger Flippers!
