@achewood Is eaten food technically rotting inside you? It's pretty warm in there. Technically, we all not only live in, but *are* "the danger zone."

Quote from: "twelve bottoms"
It is ALARMING that someone feels eating at McDonalds is as normal as taking a piss.

I once ate a chicken sandwich 'thing' at Burger King when I was helping my Uncle to move house.  I was 16 when that happnened.  That's as far as it ever went.


See, there are multiple problems here in the US: first, there is a McDonald's literally in every neighborhood of big cities, and in every small town. There are McDonald's by every off-ramp of every highway. There are McDonald's in every mall food court. There are McDonald's in nearly every Wal-Mart I have been in.

The marketing to children PLUS the convenience to an automobile-associated society PLUS the semi-addictive nature of sugar and fat-laden food (and, it's very predictable in it's offerings and level of quality) has made many people in many parts of this country slaves to McDonalds. I eat at McDonalds maybe three times out of the month, I also pop in for coffee or soda when I feel like I need it. It's so much a habit that it isn't too far from taking a piss (although I worked in very dodgy parts of town in my career so I would never actually go in the bathroom most of the time). In fact, I feel like I should think about it more and consider alternatives more often.

I probably won't though. But I should.,

I once followed my brother into a McDonalds "restaurant".  The enclosure smelled like rotting pork and sounded like screaming babies.  That is all.

Yea. My ex dragged me into a Burger King once. Which was utterly painful. It was kind of repulsive, with scummy people everywhere too.
And when we went to see Revolutions, Pitman decided to go get a McDonalds on the way back, which meant standing in the place at 11pm or something. And it was vile. It just smells so bad.

Plus, if you don't get mayonnaise you have to kill a member of staff!

Dude, that is just *so* wrong.

You mean, "for which I got $150 today at the pawn shop" - watch out for those complex prepositions.

As for the rest of you, with your "they're/there/their" problems, are you just trying to piss me off? Sheesh. And just a day after V-Adore threatened to make it clear to all of us what the differences are.

Quite.
First time I've been really pissed off at them!
Next thing, it'll be throwing apostrophes at our its's.

Please understand that I actively detest McDonalds.  I never ever willingly eat their.  However, I must admit that I am taken aback by the idea of never having eaten at one.

On further review and noticing that your location is UK (presumably this stands for the United Kingdom and not the University of Kentucky (Go Big Blue!)) this is somewhat more understandable.


Having just returned from England I can attest that they are every frickin' where.

That's funny.  They're about ten minutes away from here, too.

Maybe I'll stop by and pay them a visit, demand they habeas corpus a rabbi, shaman, witch doctor, and priest for my perusal.

hey guys I know this is a little off topic, but I just want to clarify:
"there" is a place, "they're" means they are, and "their" is a possessive 3rd person plural.
mixing these words up will earn you my undying hatred for all of eternity.
