I need to do more road trips, so I’ve been looking around for weird stuff to do. I’ve been meaning to get up to Boulder. When I go, this will have to be done.
A few years ago, Lee and I watched “Cannibal! The Musical,” by the South Park creators (AKA “Alferd Packer: The Musical”). It was bad…but it was funny:
James Humphrey: Hey! You’re cutting into his butt!
Frank Miller: Well what sort of meat do you want?
James Humphrey: Well, not butt!
But to find out there’s a grill dedicated to his name? Oh, we must go there. I’m sure we’ll have to check out the other sites of interest, but:
“El Canibal is Boulder’s biggest burrito, and the Calypso pork is a student favorite.” The slogan is “Have a friend for lunch!”
Okay, in reality, this may not be as amusing as I’m hoping it will be. Nevertheless.
“During the trial, the judge supposedly said:
- ‘Damn you, Alferd Packer! There were seven Dimmycrats in Hinsdale County and you ate five of them!'”
The Alferd Packer Grill is the cafateria in the UNC at CU. If you do come up to see it, in the spring is Alferd Packer days. Consiting of eating contests one of which is raw meat.
