Two or three days ago, I got hungry and stopped at a McDonalds.  Got a burger and sat at a tall table where I could see around.  A young family was chowing down a couple of booths away; some late-20's looking guy, his old lady, and five or six rug rats about evenly distributed across the age spectrum from 5 to 10.

So I looked at them for a while and came to this conclusion:

If your kids don't look a thing like you, they had better look exactly like your old lady.   :o

Not sure, but I actually came to the conclusion above the day after when I was talking to my son.  He mentioned how lucky our family had been in that between us none of our children looked like either of us.   ???

If you think you are getting an epiphany while chowing down at McDonalds I would put it down to food poisoning or just an MSG or other chemical overdose.  Yuck!  Maybe some of them were the kids friends.

Fast food alleged "meat" is the equivalent of animal Soylent Green, and as long as it can be ground or melted fine enough, it can be reconstituted into something that resembles ground beef.  Get an epiphany about why cancer is growing so fast; you're eating anti-bacterials (to make up for lack of sanitation in all the factories), growth hormones, and steroids.  Sounds good to cancer cells, let me tell you.


Back OT, I used to have to buy kids crap to eat on my own budget when I was running a crew of paper boys.  None of them looked like me. 
I'm not sure I even understand the attempt at a point- if there is one floating around this thread...

I get a chemical buzz from their burgers whenever I eat them.

I just don't feel right after eating one of their alleged "beef burgers".

But it sounds like you're still eating them.  Give it up, go organic and your dukies won't be so industrial sized anymore. ;D

Meh, I eat it maybe once a year or so, eat a quarter ponder.

I like their foam ice cream caramel sundaes better, can't beat them for a buck out in the field on a hot day.

A buddy of mine knocked up his GF back in 67, she went to california, had it, gave him away and recently, after a few other marriages they found each other again got married, located their son, he looks acts sounds and is the spittin image of his biological dad.  My nephew also no longer thinks the phrase, (no more kids, at least that I know of) is funny anymore. His spittin image 20 something son turned up he never knew about.
