OK, but we need some more stipulations. Instead of cutting the sandwich once, let's cut it again. Yes, four triangles, arranged in a circle, and in the middle we will dump chips. Or potato salad.

How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?
I'm for 'em!

Well, this club is formed.

Hell, I have bobble-heads of the King on my stereo equipment

All hail the King...

yes. in other words, shut the hell up, vanessa. adding 's after your own post doesn't make it funny.



just kidding, you're hella funny, and that IS the rule, so you're allowed to post.

DIDN'T YOU KNOW???? It's been that way since '97!

I know, I was totally making fun of her. (Which is also a rule, though frowned upon and preferably not discussed publically. I probably violated a lot of things saying this right now).

In a way, yes, in a way, no.

If they'd put healthy items on their $1 menu, then I'd say that they're making strides. But, when the cheapest "health-conscious" item on the menu is $3.99, that makes it prohibitive for people who can't afford anything more than whatever's on the $1 menu.

So, in their view, only people who are in the moderate & higher income & can be healthy, but poor people aren't worthy of healthy eating.

You make an excellent point, Steve.

Although it must be said that "health food" is, in general, more expensive than less healthy food.
That doesn't make it right, of course, but it's not something that's exclusive to McDonald's.

I hope you're happy that I am now carefully contemplating every single smiley I include. I do agree though that it's bad to laugh at your own jokes, so I will refrain from including a laughing smiley whenever I make a joke. There.
