Making your mark on the world...

STERLING, Kansas (AP) -- After three years of crossing the state on a quest for hamburgers, Bill Bunyan finally tasted victory on his 65th birthday.  
 
Fifty friends and strangers gathered at Paddy's Restaurant in downtown Sterling on Thursday to watch Bunyan, a retired teacher, complete his goal of eating a burger in every one of the state's 105 counties.  
 
Bunyan's wife, Susan, made hamburger-shaped invitations and sent them to all the friends who'd helped Bunyan eat his way across the state.  
 
He started in June 2000. He would stop for a burger anytime he and his wife took a trip. Sometimes, they'd drive out of the way to get to a county he hadn't visited. Bunyan has a photo album filled with pictures of himself standing in front of almost every burger joint he tried along the way.  
 
Although Bunyan enjoyed the journey, he's glad it's over -- and so is his doctor, who's treating Bunyan for high cholesterol.  
 
But Bunyan says that, while the burger quest is over, the exploring isn't.  
 
"There are a lot of great restaurants in this state we still haven't been to," he said. "And I won't have to be limited to eating just hamburgers now."

Maybe his next quest could be that of eating salads?  :laff:

HA!  Why didn't he go for the real quest?  Eating a hamburger in every county in Texas?  This would put him into cardiac arrest!
 
This man must be on a "death wish" quest, sooo not good for you, hamburgers, but oh soooo good!
