Big Dead's

Aw. I just heard that Big Ed of Big Ed's Hamburgers died last week. I always wanted to know what happened to his franchise and now I know. The truth is really ugly sometimes.
I liked his food, loved his commercials and he was always nice when I saw him. He lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up and the last time I saw him, he stopped in his custom Suburban (customized to accomodate his bigness) to talk with us kids just messin around on a summer day. That was only about a year before the tragedy that wrecked his family and business. If I could go back and warn him, I would.
There's still one store left. I'll raise a burger for ya.

I'm listening to "Ed is Dead" right now in his honor.
