R.I.P.
Carl at God's Big Drive Thru

Carl N. Karcher, founder of the Carl's Jr. hamburger chain, has died. When TMZ went for lunch today, we were given the below obit. "Here's your burger and our boss died. Enjoy your meal!"

Let's hope he springs for more than a $6 casket.

91. No one wants your brains to fall out. Nothing wrong with asking intelligent questions. But you have to listen to the answers with an open mind. If you won't keep your mind open then you will only think what you are already going to think anyway.

92. I did ask questions. I asked and asked and thought and thought. And I came to the conclusion that there is no God. Do you worship Thor? Zeus? Apollo? If not, you are atheist for those Gods. I am atheist for one more god than you.

“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” - Stephen Roberts

And I, in my atheism, have more respect for all humanity than you do in your Christianity. Jesus, who tended the neglected and downtrodden of his time, would be ashamed of what is done and said in his name. You should be too.

93. Imagine No Religion, if I could, I'd buy you a burger anywhere but Carl's Jr., where their burgers are flavored with a hate filled legacy. Cheers, and well spoken! I bet you would make a fine teacher too! :-) Never did like their food anyway!

94. Funnily enough, I had Carl's Jr. for dinner tonight, although I had chicken sammich. It is sitting kinda heavy in my stomach. Probably all the hate clogging up my intestines. :P

98. Wow...I agree...I thought this guy died a long time ago. Well, we shall miss him and Dave from Wendy's and Ray Kroc from McDonalds, and the Snuffleupagus from Sesame Street you were all good people and died before your time.
I really like the Bacon Guacamole $6 burger...those rule but they maketh one fat.

100. Love'm or hate'm, he is a part of California history!!! I was friends with the Maddix's of Newport Beach, they moved from Kansas to California in the late 40's to invest in Oil. The Getty's owned everything. A Lawyer introduced them too Carl, they would buy the real estate, and Carl would build the restaurant.
The Maddix's, had no children or living family, and left all their wealth to charities. Stephanie Maddix, 'Daddy', I hope Carl leaves a legacy within Charities as well.

103. Can gays and lesbians eat at Carl's now that the bad man is dead as a doornail?

104. carl krachner, dave thomas, and many other entrepeneuers, were on their last leg of desperation, when they took a chance, worked hard, and made a name for themselves, if it was easy everyone would do it !!!!
