The dawn of a new era

Me: So you'll be able to serve me a Jagerbomb?
Pops: Fuck yeah!

It is upon us. January 3rd is the day. I insist that everyone must come with me for a day sesh at QB.

They have a great selection on tap too:
Bud Light
Bell's Seasonal
Labatt Blue
Killians
Serria Nevada Pale Ale
Miller Light
Coors

That is from memory, that might not be entirely correct. Remember though that even though they are open until 4am, they can legally only serve until 2am.

Beer & Burgers

Last night Ann Arbor City Council finally approved a class C liquor license for Quicky Burger. Varg stopped by our tailgate on Saturday and I talked to him about it for a minute. Like expected they can only serve alcohol until 2AM but they will be able to serve on the enclosed sidewalk area on Hill Street. Varg said that they would most likely serve from the counter so that the would have more control. Maybe I can not only be the first patron of QB, but also the first one to take a shot at QB.

You don't mess with Varg

Varg likes to joke around with his customers. He has been known to stop the line to write personal hate messages on people's food orders. The other night I was in there when this dumb freshmen was trying to talk about how great Cleveland was at sports. Varg told him he was wrong and then got everyone to call him Argyle after the sweatshirt he was wearing. About 10 minutes later the kid comes up from the basement and starts to talk shit to Varg. So Varg takes him outside, where of course the kid backs down. I like an establishment where the purveyor will kick your ass for talking shit.

Also, try the Jalapeno Poppers, they are quite the treat.

Mike Barwis = Death

Via MVictors, Mike Barwis leads the circle of death





He's the guy in the middle that blows the whistle.

Update!

I went to QB for the first time since the 4th of July. I walked in and they asked me how the blog was. So Quickie Burger knows that the blog exists, but does Mike Barwis know? Anyways, I congratulated them on acquiring there liquor license, but as it turns out, they actually haven't gotten it yet. It was on the agenda at the city council meeting but was postponed until the September meeting. So the dream of a Quickie Burger and beer combo is still a little ways off. I'll let everyone know when it does happen, but as for now, no liquor license.

BTW, the major with swiss is an excellent way to end a long QB drought. Also, it was the first time I got to go behind the counter at QB. Talk about excitement.

Great News!

The rumors were all true.

On Monday night's city council meeting the transfer of a liquor licences was approved from Braun Court to Quickie Burger.

Quickie Burger, now with booze!

Quickie Burger: Now you can sit outside!

I've been to Ann Arbor for a total of 4 days the past 2 weeks, and I keep forgetting to go to QB. They have a nice little area where you can sit outside and eat, but unfortunately people watching doesn't seem to be a good sport there. Not as much foot traffic as say, the Jug. I will be going back next week. Pretty pictures to follow?

In other blog related news, nothing has been heard from Barwis is the past few weeks. I can only assume that he's carefully stalking the incoming freshmen commits and is waiting to pounce.

If you havn't seen this yet

Then you don't read Mgoblog, a must read for the Michigan sporting/blogging community.

Otherwise, enjoy this bit of Barwisity

Goals

Since we lack direction, this should serve as something that we can look at to see what we should probably do, then completely ignore it in favor of drinking.

1. Talk to Mike Barwis.
2. Do more than just yell "Barwisssssssssssssss" when Mike Barwis appears
3. Interview Mike Barwis
4. Interview Mike Barwis in Quickie Burger
5. Confirm rumor of QB's potential? liquor/tavern license.

All of those I have assigned to myself. To Brian, I have:

6. Eat every single item in the Quickie Burger menu and blog about them individually.
7. Eat as many different items in the Quickie Burger menu within 24 hours and blog about it as a whole.

and finally, for us both

8. Interview Mike Barwis in Quickie Burger while Brian eats as many different items from Quickie Burger's menu in front of Barwis and see how long before Barwis snaps and makes Brian adhere to the Mike Barwis diet and exercise plan of death.

Edit: For those of you who don't know, a Michigan Class "C" liquor license allows the sale or service of liquor, wine, spirits, and beer. A Michigan tavern license allows only the sale of wine and beer, nothing more than 9-10% alcohol by volume. If QB has one, it's likely to be the tavern license.

LISTEN TO THE "THIS"

Holy Shit This Guy's Fucking Crazy

I saw Mike Barwis in the street the other day

I thought about taking a picture with him on my camera phone, but I was afraid that if I approached him he would make my ear asplode, MMA style. That, or he may have possibly made me run laps around Schembechler Hall. Therefore, I kept my distance.

However, through the wonders of the University of Michigan, I have the number to his office (which probably means his secretary). Perchance he might grant a person of dubious journalistic integrity an interview? Chances are no, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. (Would a Mike Barwis interview in Quickie Burger blow your mind?)

Also, I've known about this for awhile, but for legal reasons (Right to Privacy anybody?) was not allowed to "break" the news. Quintin Patilla, late of the University of Michigan football team and UM hospital gofer, has decided to transfer to GVSU. He blames his asthma, which means that this is player #2 that Barwis has basically kicked out of Michigan. I can kinda feel for the guy, but what business does Patilla have doing on a football field if his asthma is that severe? Asthma is not a sneaky disease like diabetes.Rather, asthma is a condition that you kinda figure out you have after you run a couple of wind sprints. Having asthma doesn't mean that you can't train with everybody else, it just means that you have to work a lot harder and have a handy supply of asthma medication around. But once again, what is this kid doing playing football? And to be quite honest, losing the #3 fullback (which we won't use anymore) /#3 tight end (and from the sound of it, we'll be phasing them out)/#8 linebacker really doesn't do anything. It does free up a scholarship that RichRod can then use on this new recruiting class.

This transfer looks like a partial health, and partial depth issue. Health, because obvious Barwis would have just strapped an inhaler to Patilla's back and had him running stairs, and depth because let's face it, there were a ton of players ahead of him. Fullback was always the position that failed linebackers and tight ends went to to provide "depth". Fullback, or MX, will probably be a combination of Minor/Grady/Moundros, and Patilla already failed the linebacker/TE test.

Anyways, chalk up player #2 to "Uncaring coaching staff" aka Mike Barwis made me cry.

Wizard Cat and a Barwis video will hopefully tide you over for the next month. It's from WVU, but he drops an impressive amount of F-bombs in 45 seconds.

Rumor has it...

Word on the street is that Quickie Burger has acquired a Liquor License. I have know idea what they plan on selling but a burger and a cold beer sounds pretty good to me.

Mike Barwis Makes his 1 Year Old Do Sit-ups

That is all.

And no I am not joking. One of the girls I know in the Athletic Department told me.

Good Work, Stonewall Dems

So, in case you don't read the Michigan Daily, they had a story about how Quickie Burger was offensive, blah blah blah. Being the intrepid journalists they are, they also had a follow up when a local campus do-gooder thought there might have been copyright infringement.

Now, for your own purposes, here are the two images for your comparison.This is the artist's original drawing.
And this is the Quickie Burger logo. Pretty similar right?

You would be absolutely correct if the original artist, Stephen Notley was contacted, and when interviewed said basicially "I don't care". In fact, he has made a post at his own website about his role in this situation.

So for the time being, Quickie Burgers infamous logo still is proudly on the corner of State and Hill. After all your efforts, Stonewall Democrats, the logo is still there. In fact, pat yourselves on the back, I'm sure more people actually went to Quickie Burger to check out the logo and eat than actually ate there and were offended by your logo. As they say, any publicity is good publicity.

Back in Action

It appears that the internet thinks that this site is a spam blog, whatever that is. After a lengthy review process they realized that I am not a computer, programmed to spam all that view it. I guessed I passed the Turing test. Back to the MEAT!

QB: Well, the Lesbians have Spoken

It appears that Quickie Burger has drawn the ire of the uptight LGBT community as reported by The Daily. The daily described the logo as "cowgirl riding a hamburger." I like my description better.

"I have a problem that you take a women riding a hamburger and you put it next to the word 'quickie,' " he said. "It just seems like it's not putting a good message out there for the objectification of women."

Haha, what an uptight bitch. I guess it's actually a dude who thinks that women riding meat is inappropriate. I could understand why this dude would be all butthurt if the burger was riding the chick. Would it be objectionable if it was a dude riding a burger, or is this guy all sexist affirmative action? In my opinion it's really objectifying burgers more than anything else. I mean ground sirloin has fought all of these years to not be considered a rodeo animal. With one logo Quickie Burger has destroyed decades of pro meat rights.

The article states that what really pissed this guy off was the image of a women in close proximity to the word "quickie." He failed to mention how the word "quickie" objectifies women. If it was an image of a girl jerking off a hamburger next to the word "quickie" then yes, I could see how it might be offensive. It's a fast food place, speed is an important aspect to selling food. Saying that you serve your food in an expedient matter isn't sexist, I'm pretty sure.

This guy needs to chill out and take a joke. Someone should tell him that Ali Baba is anti-Arab and Rod's Diner is a giant penis joke. Maybe he can petition those places too.

Welcome to Mike Barwis and Quickie Burger, Fatass

Welcome.

This is a blog dedicated to the 2 greatest improvements to Ann Arbor.

The first is Mike Barwis simply because he got here first. I've already had a run in with him.



Michigan's new strength and conditioning coach is pure maniacal genius. He came to Michigan and threw out every piece of equipment in the weight room and replaced it. Now it looks like this:


This man is pure psycho and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy that he is on our side. I have no doubt we will have the best conditioned team in the Big 10 come fall.

But a blog dedicated just to Mike Barwis would be kinda gay. I mean any man on man blog is a little gay. So to hetero things out the second part of this blog will chronicle the greatest eatery located at Hill and State. Quickie Burger has stolen my heart and filled my stomach. James and I are already regulars and get recognized by the staff. Everything is so good that we don't even have a usual. They have only been open 9 days and I have already spent over $50 there. I ate there three times on St. Pats. I woke up the next morning with heartburn and a smile. My claim to fame is that I was the first customer on their first day of business. I guess some guy went in the night before they officially opened, but I count myself as their first true customer. I was waiting in line 15 minutes before it was open. Well there actually wasn't a line, it was just me. But here is my proof:

Look at that, 10:58 that 2 minutes before they were technically open.

So there you have it. This blog and my life will only be complete when I eat at Quickie Burger with Mike Barwis.
