  Whataburger stickers, coming soon to a hipster near you.Welcome back to Eating Our Words' weekly round-up, the only place in town still selling Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pies out of the back of our station wagon. Speaking of suspicious meat, this week started off with a rather angry rebuking of inner-skirt and low-quality outer-skirt steak. Please write your congressperson. After that, Sarah Rufka took in a late-night meal at Max's Wine Dive that seemed to consist entirely of bread and cheese (in other

• Celebrity Death Is The Death Of Us All

  A friend of mine wrote a witty Facebook status update that referenced the passing of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson on the same day.  "First the 70s died. Then the 80s. Better watch your back, Spice Girls."I chuckled at the same time that I realized that in a matter of seconds, dozens of my "friends" were posting about the simultaneous loss of Farrah and Michael. ("We never did see them in the same room together, did we?  Hmmm.")But what I was mostly struck by was not people's clev

• Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground: Songs for Farrah Fawcett

  Though her death has since been eclipsed on headline-news outlets and celebrity-tracking blogs by Michael Jackson's, Corpus Christi native Farrah Fawcett passed away Thursday after a painful struggle with cancer. She was 62. Remembered mostly for her performance as Jill Munroe in the campy 70's action show Charlie's Angels, some forget that Fawcett later became a critically successful dramatic actress, winning a Golden Globe for the 1986 film Extremities, in which she played a would-be rape vict

• Farrah Fawcett: Unfortunately, These Movies Will Also Be Remembered

  Farrah Fawcett passed away today at the age of 62. Males of a certain generation (those born between 1900 and 1972) will always hold the former Jill Munroe in special esteem for the role she played in hastening their adolescence.There was that poster, for starters, and her short-lived but memorable stint on Charlie's Angels. And even though my own heart will always belong to Jaclyn Smith, I'm still grateful to the one-time Mrs. Fawcett-Majors for teaching me that blondes could be fantasized abou

• Inquiring Minds: Teen Country Queen Katie Armiger

  Traci GoudieWhat did you do your senior year? Studying? Prom? So did Sugar Land native and eventual Austin High School graduate Katie Armiger, but she also spent it writing, recording and promoting her second album, 2008's Believe. Armiger, who co-wrote ten of Believe's 11 songs and wrote "Gone" and "Bleed" on her own, parlayed a victory in the junior division of 93Q's "Houston's Best Country Singer" contest in 2006 into a two-song demo and then a deal with Nashville's Cold Spring Records.

  In 1969, the victim of one of Houston's most notorious murder cases died at Sharpstown Hospital after a long, painful episode.Joan Robinson was the beloved daughter of River Oaks oilman Ash Robinson; she showed up in the papers all the time for her expertise as an equestrienne. She married a plastic surgeon named John Hill, and things went bad.If you believe what everyone in Houston believed in their bones, John Hill murdered his wife....probably by injecting shit -- as in fecal matter -- into t
