Flickr: me and the sysop

We all know the guy who goes to McDonald's, orders a number seven with Diet Coke, plus a Big Mac and hot apple pie on the side.

Inside Look at Lamar Odom's Candy Addiction

Actually, don't look! Because your boss may ask you to clean it out and your health benefits probably don't include hazard pay.
