<\/center><\/p>\nBeing a die-hard Celtics fan, I recently had the great pleasure of watching Kobe Bryant lose in historic fashion in the NBA Finals. I never liked Kobe, probably stemming from the time he took pop singer Brandy to his high school prom. It all seemed very insincere. At that moment, I could have sworn that it was a Michael Jackson\u00e2\u02c6\u2019Lisa Marie Presley situation where he was covering up his secret disturbing sexuality by dating a woman that he could never really be attracted to. I mean, come on…Moesha? I’m not gay, but I’m pretty certain that I’d rather have sex with her brother Ray J.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the best Kobe Bryant-related news I’ve heard all week, however, stems from a club frequented by former teammate and fellow adulterer Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq hates Kobe, not just because he is a sociopathic ball-hog, but because he told the police that Shaq paid off women to keep them quiet about their unsavory trysts. This all led up to TMZ catching juvenile-ly hilarious footage of Shaq in a club commanding Kobe to “tell me how my ass tastes” through the medium of freestyle rap.<\/p>\n
I don’t know what Kobe’s response is, though I’m certain that he would somehow manage to fit in “We just have to toughen up on defense,” but I’d imagine that the taste of Shaq’s ass is not dissimilar to Jimmy Dean’s Pancakes & Sausage Minis. Maybe that’s being a little harsh, but I can’t imagine why anyone would ever want to eat these things when there’s a much better version on the market that comes on a stick. My philosophy has always been that things taste better on sticks. Preferably deep fried sticks. Don’t ask me why, it’s just how things are.<\/p>\n
Since I bought this box on the eve of my championship celebration, I had high hopes for these bite-sized Minis. Unfortunately for me, nothing ruins my mood faster than crappy and overpriced food. These Minis were soggy, disarmingly sweet, and had the texture of ground rubber. Being a fair reviewer, I then tried a batch in the toaster over.<\/p>\n
For my patience, I was rewarded with a saccharine, crispy shell of batter surrounding a fine piece of ground rubber. As you could probably imagine, I quickly grew weary of this mysterious rubber sausage and went to the local Pep Boys to inquire about its recycled value. Alas, as I’m sure Shaq would enjoy hearing Kobe say something about his ass, sometimes things are just better in bigger packages.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage Minis
\nPrice:<\/b> $3.29
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Stater Bros.
\nRating:<\/b> 2 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Small, convenient size for families on the go who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t care if they enjoy what they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re eating. For the environmentally conscious, sausage may be recyclable. Freestyle rapping about the taste of ass.
\nCons:<\/b> Very small portion for the price that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re paying. Comes out soggy in the microwave. Extremely sweet for a product that isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t honey-battered. Sausage tastes like a tire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
