Brad Delp Memorialized by Burger King

NEW YORK - Former Boston singer Brad Delp will be honored by the Burger King corporation, a company spokesman said yesterday. Bradford "Bill" Pitt, regional manager for Burger King's New England stores, said the company made the decision following E! Online's report that Mr. Delp had died from carbon monoxide poisoning "after shutting himself inside a bathroom with two charcoal grills."

"Although Brad professed to be a vegetarian," said Mr. Pitt, "he had a soft spot for burgers, as most vegetarians do?even PETA members.

"In fact, Brad was a frequent customer at the six conveniently located Burger King stores within a ten-mile radius of his home (in Atkinson, New Hampshire). He used the drive-in window to avoid being recognized by fans of Beatlejuice, the Beatles tribute band in which he sang."

Describing Mr. Delp as "the kindest man who ever came through our drive-in windows," Mr. Pitt said that Burger King was renaming its popular Stacker? after the late singer.

"That product will now be known as The Bradster?," said Mr. Pitt. "It was his favorite."

According to the Burger King website, The Bradster? comprises "double, triple, or quadruple layers of beef and cheese?topped with bacon and sauce . . . boasting a flame-broiled stack of meaty goodness, and it's here to stay?no veggies allowed."

"Hi, I'm Kenny Kingsford, telling all you boys and girls out there not to try this indoors."

"We used to laugh that we could tell how Brad was feeling by the kind of Stacker?, I mean Bradster?, he ordered," said Mr. Pitt. "If he ordered the quadruple, he was really jonesing; the double, not so much.

"I was just talking to the night manager of our Haverill, Massachusetts, store, which is only 2.9 miles from Brad's former home. The manager told me that Brad was in for a quadruple around 8:30 the night he died. Brad said his fiancee was out for the night, so he wouldn't have to eat this one in his truck on the way home. That's just the kind of thoughtful, down-to-earth guy he was."

In related news, the Kingsford company, makers of the world's most popular charcoal, has recalled 100,000 bags of its fire-groove, quick-start charcoal from New England-area stores in order to place more prominent "for outdoor use only" warnings on its packaging.

So they named a burger after a good customer who died...what's the problem?

Is it because he killed himself and how he did it? I guess that is a *bit* odd and not something I'd think up, but really, it doesn't matter in my opinion.

Making money of a dead customer is bad taste in my opinion....

Making a considerable donation in his name would be a nice move

If they want to name the burger after him check with teh family and get the approval... then donate to a cause in his name

Don't know if I should spoil the "fun" (??), but the "fine print" from "Biff" at the "Pug Bus" would seem to indicate that the above is "fictional (unquote)...

They're probably ###### because he was a "vegetarian" in name only and had to hide because god forbid he eat meat like a normal person, would tarnish the image vegetarians/vegans have created for themselves

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
