Read a Book, Get a Burger

Lucky kids…

From Santee Patch:

We’d all love our kids to read more books. The Santee Library has found a way to get kids on the reading train—through their stomachs!

The In-N-Out Program at the library is a way to encourage kids, ages 4-12, to read more books. Here’s how it works:

1. Kids get a “Food for Thought” stamp card at the library
2. The card gets stamped after reading a book
3. After you’ve read the set of five books, you’ve earned a certificate for a free hamburger or cheeseburger at any In-N-Out location

Hamburger Trucker Hat

From blogs.villagevoice.com:

“What happens when the hamburger on your hat looks much better than the hamburger you’re eating?

Predictably, East Village favorite gift and t-shirt store Alphabets (115 Avenue A, 212-475-7250) has been accumulating food-themed gag gifts over the last couple of years. But do you really want to give one of these to your foodie friends, who’d probably prefer a paring knife or handsome pot holder?”

Burger365 for Skull Quilt Project

Here is my contribution to the Skull Quilt Project for Skull Appreciation Day mailed off today.  I reworked the image from the Burger365 – Oil Painting to include a human skull overlayed on top of the burger skull image. The finished quilts will be shown in a gallery with other skull artwork and sales will go towards a great charity. If you’re in Richmond from June 3rd to July 8th, be sure to check out the exhibition.

Skull Quilts.

curated by Skull-A-Day editor Abby Davis

These quilts will be auctioned off and all proceeds will be donated to DC charity Becky’s Fund, which helps survivors of domestic violence.

Burger365 on the Conan Show

If anyone happened to watch Conan on May 5th, you may have caught a glimpse of the Conan O’Turkey Burger during one of the bumper spots after a commercial break.

It’s always exciting to see your name or something you’ve created on TV. Good thing we record the show as well, or else might have missed it.

Check out more COCO art here at the online Museum of Conan Art.

Burgers in Blondie Comic Strip

Looks like Disney’s Stitch still loves burgers, because here is yet another burger themed item relating to him.  Vinyl toy makers MINDstyle teamed up with Disney for Experiment 626 Artist Series II.  From that series, this “Burger Head” Stitch is the Mad Barbarians’ take on designing the 5″ vinyl toy.

Hamburger Hunter for iPhone/iPod

Check out this just released iPhone/iPod Touch game called “Hamburger Hunter” from Navigation-Info Kft.

“People cry for help because the world is overrun with revived hamburger and hot-dog monsters.
Destruction and the desperation reign over countries and cities, when someone comes into sight from a dirty passage of a ruined city, a little boy to pay off with hamburgers once and for all. He is just running and shooting the monsters while he is growing up from a little boy to an action hero, the Hamburger Hunter!”

Haven’t gotten a chance to try it out yet, but with guns and hamburger monsters what’s not to love.  Plus right now, it’s completely FREE!

Burger Themed License Plates!

From EATER.COM:

“Back in August, Eater Austin let us know that the Texas DMV approved the official Texas novelty cheeseburger license plate from Austin-based hamburger chain Mighty Fine. Starting this Monday, lucky Texans have been able to order them online.

It’ll cost you $85 for a year, $225 for five years, or $325 for ten years, which is not such a bad deal! According to The Statesman, “For customers who order the cheeseburger-adorned plates, Mighty Fine is offering $100 in store currency for every year they keep the plates on their vehicles…” It’s basically an investment in your cheeseburger-y future!”
