So, fixing a car after an accident is part of "maintenance".......? If so, mine was expensive to maintain too.
Seriously though, that is not car maintenance, that is ego maintenance. |

He is an old man and must have run out of Metamucil. He most likely traded his FR-S in on a nice Buick. humfrz |

Well, based on some quick googling of the average weight of a order of a rack of ribs (6lbs for the baby back and spare ribs combined) and the average weight of slaughtered pig recently (206lbs) that is about 2.9% of the body weight. So, if you have 30,000lb animal using that ratio a half rack of full ribs would weigh 4,350 lbs. The real question is how does the waitress carry them to the car, but that one is easy. Bam Bam is adopted, and the waitress must be his natural mother.

As far as Betty and Wilma, well I believe that is just from their "Car Hop" song performance where they expound that "our burgers can't be beat because we grind our own meat", resulting from Fred and Barney purchasing a drive-in without telling their significant others.

I guess another explanation is that The Great Gazoo was using a device to assist the waitress while she was carrying them. Doesn't seem to be his style though.

Actually I think they all are. Would explain their obvious need for excessive protein.
