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

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
