Should I go fishing or get a friend to hang around? Celebrated GAY Summer 2012

Question: Stevie D thought of something but never gave me a present for my birthday months ago; am I a turrible bf because I'm not getting him one? (Of course I know he'll see this, so maayybe this is just me setting him up for a grand surprise tomorrow ;) [it isn't])

I've probably eaten McD's once in the past five years

The lowest I'll stoop is Wendy's and even then only maybe twice a year.

I do admit I have a special affinity for their junior bacon cheeseburger even as I realize how gross it is.

The last time I ate McD's was last July at 5:30am after sleeping on the ground in the woods and it stayed down for about 45 min

It was seriously *the worst* thing

Also what a terrible bf!

haven't eaten The Big Three in fast food in over twelve years

Wait - what are the Big Three?

pussy, tits, and ass

I would be so happy to suspend present exchanges for the rest of my life.

The last time I ate a Big 3 burger was at Wendy's about 20 years ago, and it stayed *up* for about 45 mins.

Not only do I not eat fast food anymore, I don't even get what is pleasurable abt eating fast food anymore.

I think my greatest fast food experience was when I was my lung collapsed and after three weeks of hospital food, someone brought me Wendy's and it was ~the greatest~.

Yo, McDonald's ice cream tho. Just sayin'.

I could fuck w an Oreo McFlurry tbh

Pro tip: bribe the McFlurry Artist with 50 cents for extra candy in your flurr.

sometimes mcdonalds are just the ticket. zagat's favors wendy's, which i can get on board with too.

So, McDonalds, Wendy and ...? Harvey's? Do you guys have Harvey's in the US? Or does that not count as fast food because they make their burgers fresh on the grill or whatever.

A&W?

root beer?

burger kong, yo

king burg

wait - A&W is a Canadian thing too?!? Seriously?

A&W - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_(Canada)

Harvey's - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey's

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR COUNTRY.

we have Tim Hortons now, that's far enough

there's an a&w in rhody

but no sonic

I always assumed that Hardees is what America has in place of Harvey's.

If y'all can put a Starbucks on every corner I think it's OK we put a Timmy's in Milwaukee

Five Guys, Smashburger and Culvers are the "acceptable" options in Minnesota. And White Castle.

We just got a few Five Guys in Montreal but I had no idea what they were. I'm not normally a burger person, but are they any good?

This is such a strange turn of conversation for the thread.

They are supposed to be the best I think; I'd love to try one but balk at the idea of spending $6 for a burger.

happy birthday, stevie!

Kinda into Chipotle. Lol @ this from Marketplace: "...we're in what you might call 'the Chipotle economy,' which is that people want to feel like they're paying McDonald's prices but they're getting Chili's."

And they make me feel adequately subversive by playing Feist and Grizzly Bear (jk)

(they do play that stuf tho)

What does that quote even mean? Also ty alf!

They want to feel like they're paying McD's prices but are actually paying Chili's? Or they want to feel like they're paying McD's prices but getting that high-caliber Chili's quality?

Omg Steve I just realized I can show you the excellent Central Saint Martins collection this way:

Right?!

They want to feel like they are paying McDonald's prices but are as fashionable as a Starbucks customer.

Required reading for fully appreciating that collection: http://juliasherman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/ShermanJ_ArtistProjectHabit_Cabinet_2011.pdf

In 1947, Mother Benedict introduced an alternative denim “work habit” in solidarity with the American blue-collar worker. A progressive, self-reliant farming and artistic community, they live by the motto ora et labora (prayer and work), and each member is encouraged to find her professional and artistic calling so that she can better serve the community as a whole.

i had so much to eat yesterday that i can't even think about fast food right now

wait - A&W is a Canadian thing too?!? Seriously?

Wait, I was going to say that we have A&W here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_Restaurants) but the: A&W is a Canadian fast food restaurant chain. It was originally part of the U.S.-based A&W Restaurants chain, but was sold to Unilever in 1972, and then bought out by management in 1995. It no longer has any connection to A&W operations outside Canada.

The Canadian menu has some similarities to the current offerings of the American chain, but (not surprisingly given their independent management) also diverges in many respects. The only Burger Family product currently available by name in U.S. locations is the Papa Burger, although it differs significantly (adding lettuce, tomato, and cheese slices which are not included by default on the Canadian product). However, the American "Original Bacon Cheeseburger" appears to be almost exactly equivalent to the Teen Burger available in Canada. Notable products on the U.S. menu not available in Canada include deep-fried cheese curds, cheese fries, and soft serve-based products such as sundaes.[5]

Lol "teen burger"

damn, now I want Five Guys :/

damn, now I want five guys. :)

Every gay guy I know here has made some joke about stuffing five guys in themselves, et al. It's sexy every time.
