Enjoy while you can, before the one wielding the Hammer of Thor crushes this pesky little bot, lol.
That's a cool story.Yeah, sorry, those things are just vile.
Anybody remember the Big Mac jingle contest? I was in my teens when they ran it for the first time; I think they brought it back a couple times since then? All you had to do was recite the jingle in limited time, 3 seconds maybe? I remember sitting watching TV with my father and the commercial came on. He watched it and scoffed "Who's would bother memorizing that for one of those lousy hamburgers?"
I immediately rattled it off, quickly and perfectly. His eyebrows shot upwards like a double whack-a-mole at the carnival. He made me repeat it...slowly...while he checked it against a newspaper ad.
My dad was...thrifty. Yeah, I come by it honestly. We ate Big Macs for supper at least twice a week for way, way, way too long. There was a limit of one per customer, but there were several McD's in our end of town and we made the rounds, my dad waiting in the car while the Goose...me!...went inside and laid yet another Golden Egg. I started out not really caring for Big Macs...I quickly grew to actively despise them. Great fries, though...
A few years later, I stepped off the train at the station for my monthly visit home from university in Toronto. My dad was waiting to pick me up, and on the way home he said "You know what? I haven't had a Big Mac in years; interested?"
I laughed and laughed and laughed; then we went for a beer.![]()
That is the mindset that I must maintain.The food I do eat needs to serve a purpose,
