a moratorium on the king

I hate McDonald's. It's gotta be the worst shit you could feed yourself. There is no nutritional value in their greasecakes or chicken craplets. I haven't eaten anything from McDonald's since the fall I went to University in 1997. My streak is well known to my comrades, and it was always a pain in the ass whenever we went out to eat. It seems like I almost had to like Burger King by default, as if it was the only True Choice. But today I have come to a personal revalation.

Burger King sucks.

Perhaps I am writing this in a Whopper-induced haze, but I think I know what is best. I am no longer going to partake in the Double Whopper with Cheese combo. As I sat in the onion and grease saturated atmosphere of my local Burger King today, trying to enjoy my lunch, I observed the clientele. Kids, business people, parents - the common folk. I estimate them to be somewhat educated on the matters of nutrition. I then turned to my own mess of a burger, wondering why we have chosen to eat such foodstuffs. There was no answer. Only emptyness, and it frightened me.

There could be any reason for this conclusion, and one of them could be the thought of my kids turning out like this. Or maybe because their burgers were never that great, and I had taught myself to like them through years of fighting off the urge to taste that sweet special sauce once more.

The Whopper was indeed a mighty burger, but today I bid farewell.

Comments

I think that the suckage of Burger King has a lot to do with the fact they offer AOL cd's at the drive thru window, well at least they do in my town.

Of course this is coming from guy who is considering going vegan again ;)

Why are you such a bitter man? I mean, it's bad enough that people operate blogs, but do you really have to use one to complain about all the stupid little insignificant going's on in your life. You made a decision to not eat at McDonald's. That's fantastic, Skippy. There are people starving to death in Africa, and you're going to be a little bitch and complain about how abundant food is in Canada and the US. You're taking yourself a little too seriously, man.

Maybe lighten up the content a little ... I don't know, talk about what's good in your life.

I hate my computer ... I'm going to get rid of it right now.

Holy shit. It's both an honour and a priviledge to have you visit my site, James...or is it Billy?

Your comments are well received and I'll try and keep things light and interesting around here for you. I know that since the Pumpkins split up both of you guys have taken a real positive turn, lyrically. Maybe I'll write about the good times I've had playing Golden Sun, and you could write a song to be performed by Djali Zwan, live at my house this summer. A nice small venue for you guys. That would rock.

However, I wouldn't get rid of your computer too soon, since Halo will be out for the PC this winter, and I know how much you dig that game. Then you'd be able to play it online, and damn man...I'd play with you. Just drop me a message.

Take it easy dude, and stay away from Mickey D's...it's the shits.

If he is a loser for logging his thoughts in some "stupid little insignificant blog". What does that make you for logging your "blog" inside of his blog.

Makes you think... About blogs, and underwear.

It'd be fucking sweet if there was a flame war on this site not even a month after it's inception.

And beto, despite what you may have heard, exclamation points are best used in moderation.

nnnnkay? ha ha...

If I could understand your over punctuated abortion of a statement I would respond accordingly.

Oh and I'm just adding to the absurdity of this thread anyways. Talk to gat to see if I'm serious.
