Speaking of false advertising, do you know what really pisses me off?Those McDonald's commercials where a guy goes around with a dollar and tries to see how much of various things he can buy with just a dollar. And it turns out that at most places he can only afford comically small amounts of things for a single dollar bill. But then he goes to McDonald's and is able to purchase things off of the dollar menu using only his dollar bill.The part that pisses me off is that the commercial IGNORES TAX, and thus the main point of the commercial is defeated. You can't go to a McDonald's with a dollar bill and walk out with anything from the dollar menu, because it would really cost $1.06, or whatever. If I were to attempt to do what the guy in the commercial does, I would fail.Someone really needs to be killed for this, imo.

I had the same thought. What about tax? Yep. False advertising unless you live in Oregon.

You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.

Probably what bother me most is when I leave my apartment to go get the mail, but I don't shut the door completely, and in walks a homeless man. And when you get back to your place, you find him all curled up in your bed, just lying there as peaceful as can be, and so you curl up with him, listening to his heart beat, gazing up his peaceful face not worried about a thing. Dream away my homeless friend, and when you wake up you're in for the most tender hug your rugged body can handle. But then he wakes up and he acts like you're doing something wrong, and so he squirms, and even as you sing lullaby after lullaby he just won't settle. And then you realize this isn't your apartment. Oops. So bothersome.

This always tilts me. Another thing that bugs me about that commercial is how he used to get a double cheeseburger, but now the only thing he asks for is a McChicken. Reason being is they raised the price of the delicious double cheeseburger from $1 (+ tax) to $1.40 + tax.
This bothers me too.But $1.06, man, those were the days.10.25% here now.
it's 9.25% here now as of a few weeks ago.

This made me happy in a number of ways, most of them sexual.

Yummo! An hors d'oeuvre of an unexpected speciesCLIFTON PARK — The sight of a severed snake's head under his broccoli made Jack Pendleton lose interest in dessert. Pendleton said he found the head, the size of the end of his thumb, while eating Sunday at the T.G.I. Friday's in Clifton Park. The chain restaurant said it regrets the appetite-killing error. Pendleton said he has no plans to sue.Pendleton said he ordered vegetables instead of fries with his chicken sandwich. When he started to eat his broccoli, he saw something gray on the plate he at first thought was a mushroom. "I start to turn it over. I see this gray-green patch," he said.Next he saw a V-shape that turned out to be the mouth of a snake. "I could see these black, rotted eye sockets on the top," he said. The severed head also had bits of tendon and part of the spine attached, he said."I stopped eating. I told my girlfriend, 'I think this is a head,'" he said.Pendleton snapped a photo with his cellphone camera, then summoned the waiter. He covered the dish with his hand and described his find."He thought I was joking until I took my hand away," Pendleton said. The waiter grabbed the plate and took it back to the kitchen, the diner said."The manager came over white as a sheet," said Pendleton, 28, of Ballston Lake, a senior art director for a textbook company in Clifton Park. "He explained in five years he'd never run into anything like this."Amy Freshwater, a spokeswoman for the chain, said in an e-mailed statement the company is trying to determine what happened."We are taking this situation very seriously," she said. "We immediately pulled the broccoli from this restaurant and began an extensive investigation. As a precautionary measure, we pulled broccoli from all restaurants that received product from this supplier. We have since isolated the specific lot date of the broccoli in question and have now reintroduced the product in all restaurants not included in the product hold."The supplier has been contacted to begin its own investigation, she said. "We are sending the object to an independent laboratory for testing," Freshwater said in the statement. "We have very strict and thorough safety and sanitation procedures and regret that this situation occurred in one of our restaurants."The couple were given their meals without charge and offered the name of a regional manager, which Pendleton said he declined. He said he advised the manager he should check the kitchen to make sure the rest of the snake wasn't in someone else's meal. He also told the manager the head should have been found when the vegetables were harvested or, if it crawled into a box, before it made it into his meal.Pendleton said he filed a complaint through the restaurant's Web site but has no plans to sue. He tried to contact the Saratoga County Health Department, he said, but he could not find contact information on its Web site. His story also was posted on the Web site the Consumerist, under the headline "Snakes on a Plate."He and his girlfriend had planned to attend a carnival after their meals, he said, but as he pulled into the lot he decided he didn't have the stomach to go on the rides.O'Brien can be reached at 454-5092 or tobrien@timesunion.com.0507_snakeonaplate_1__TN.jpg0507_snakeonaplate_2__TN.jpg
