Not that it's the end of the world for anyone to not see my picture, but really, I think I'm just a tad better looking than that honkin' old question mark.

You know, just like those smart LDS'ers, Canada has been advising people to do the 72 hour thing and stock up in case of emergency/disaster. Having three kids, I would just naturally know that a lot of napkins would be necessary so we're doing ok right now. I'm just sick with worry about the rest of you folks though and I too, hope this devastating shortage ends soon.

It's picky at an absurd level. But I am far more upset with the new McDonalds plan to control your coffee additives. If you order coffee, they tell you they will add the cream and sugar <i>for you</i>, as though they are doing you a favor. <i>Nobody</i> buys that bullshit. We know they no longer trust us with the cream and sugar because we are wasteful retards and will spill it or something. Puh-lease. So, I make sure and ask for 20 sugars, and 10 creams. Screw them. If they won't trust me to handle my own sugar and cream, I will ask for more so I can throw it in the trash and they will have to waste employee time dealing with me and the whole shebang <b>costs</b> them <i>more</i> money. Of course, employee time and customer attitude isn't something the bean counters can tabulate, so they will see a victory as sugar costs go down. Meanwhile morale goes down and customer happiness goes down. Turds. I hope they choke. I now always go down the street to Sam's restaurant on Broadway. 2 eggs, any way, cooked fresh, 2 bicuits and gravy, made fresh, bacon and sausage, hash brown and coffee with freakin cream and sugar for $5. Eat that McDonald's! How is it fast food costs more than real food now anyway? They have flipped everythign upside down... Turds. Not putting a napkin in the bag is annoying.
