I NEED A BURGER KING GOLD CARD!!!

I didn’t even know they existed! But Hugh Laurie has one!

While talking about life in the fame lane, hottie Laurie has this to say: “[Being famous means that] you can get a table in a restaurant. But then you’ve got to go past a line of people who can’t get a table – and that’s a bad feeling. I’ve [been given] a Burger King Gold Card.”

A Burger King Gold Card entitles one to free Burger King, ostensibly for life. Click here to read a funny store Jay Leno wrote about his. I’ll post an excerpt here:

So I pull into a Burger King a few days ago and thought I’d try out my new Burger King credit card. So I order my food and the guy says: “That’s $11.” So I say: “Fine, here you go,” and hand him the card. His reaction was amazing: “Whoa . . . where’d you get this?”

He was not impressed that I was on The Tonight Show or even that I was driving a Porsche Carrera GT. He was more impressed with this piece of plastic. Now I can go to Burger King whenever I like anywhere in the free world because I’ve got my Burger King credit card. It’s crazy.

Listen up, Burger King. I have been nothing but glowing and free publicity for you guys since this website was started. I am your #1 fan. I deserve one of these damn cards, and I deserve it now!

I went to visit my grandfather and his lovely wife this afternoon, since I’m home in Phoenix. My grandfather made me spinach borscht, trying to get me back to my Russian roots. He taught me a funny thing to say about it in Yiddish, which I loved, but now I forget it. His wife, on the other hand, gave me three coupons for buy-one-get-one-free chicken sandwiches at Burger King. “I read your blog,” she said. Burger King is my roots.

COUGH ONE UP FOR ME, BURGER KING!!!

  • kate walsh has a gold card too… Would be very nice to have one… While I hardly ever eat fast food, I would start with a gold card!

  • He did his time. Love him very much. Lots of my online friends on “blackc entury co m” love him too. You can share your ideas with them if you want. It is a servious interracial dating service.

  • yeah on rachel ray today…don’t know if it was a rerun…kate walsh was presented with one by some burger king guy

  • Your step-grandmother is awesome. Not only for reading your blog but for remembering and being realistic. I love those little gifts like that that don’t cost anything but are THOUGHTFUL. I mentioned in passing once to a co-worker that I love Harry Potter. Two weeks later he comes in with a coloring book page of Fluffy (from the first book/movie) that his daughter had colored for me. He had just been playing with her and she was showing him her new Harry Potter coloring book and he mentioned “Oh there’s this lady where daddy works who loves Harry Potter”. That was it. She went on her way coloring and brought the page to him to bring to work to give me. freaking adorable. I still have it up on my cubicle wall.

  • I’ve heard the secret to getting a really great Whopper is to ask them to make it fresh. While I haven’t tried this yet, my source, who once worked for Burger King, says he asks for this every time and the staff always obliges. Supposedly, the difference in taste is unbelievably better than compared to that of a burger that’s been sitting under the heat lamp for any unknown period of time.

  • I’ve got to get me one of these. That’s more status than AMEX’s Gold card. Think somebody on eBay would be selling one? Probably could find one there for a grand or so:)

  • I noticed this link @ picLense – Since I grew up living next door to the Snider family I have enjoyed an In-n_Out gold card for some 36 years now. Eat your hearts out… as I eat my burger.
