Every once in a while I crave a Big Mac ... I mean, what's not to like? But it's probably been 40 yrs since I had one. Does that mean I'm on my way to Heaven?

Only if you're on your way to get a Big Mac?

Not as soon as you would be if you ate one every day.

The Gleeman comment at the end really broke me up!

Was it last year or the year before he couldn't get a rental car due to an expired license?

Priceless!

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Golden Corral. Kind of sounds like a rich man's stockyard with the same intent; eat all you can and gain weight. Cows wind up being slaughtered, repeat human customers undergo the surgeon's knife and the investors reap the gold.

First visited one in North Carolina; very good food. Even got to overhear the guy on the next table tell how his brother's wife tried to run him down, missed the husband but demolished his newly completed 6 foot high cedar fence. Said the husband was more upset about losing the fence then losing the wife. The teller was dead serious but me and the family couldn't help laughing. Good food and free entertainment. Hard to beat.

We visited a Corral when we got back to Minnesota; food was horrible and nobody made us laugh. Gotta be a moral in there somewhere...

Great, now I want endless supplies of fried chicken and chocolate pudding!

Uh, they still have those? I have never been to one ... so ... I haven't missed out?

You've missed out if you enjoy endless supplies of fried chicken and chocolate pudding!

Among other things!

Old Country Buffet?

Probably easier to find a Golden Corral.  Not sure that Old Country Buffet still exists.

I don't know... I presume there is someone out there who likes big macs so much, he might already be in heaven if he got to eat one every day...

 

Is this heaven? No it's McDonalds. Would you like fries with that?

A vastly under rated word! I approve. And for whatever reason, i here the word in the voice of Heckle and/or Jeckle, so i can assume the approve too. Not that anyone approves of Heckle and Jeckle... Yes, quite.

We have three Applebee's in Fargo that Steve Fraley may frequent, yet I don't remember the last time I heard anyone else mention going to one. That can only mean people eat there in shame?

Or possibly the thrive off of Fargo's booming tourist industry? I've always wanted to see one of the tallest manmade structures in the world.. I don't suppose we're allowed to climb on it, though.

And one aspect this article doesn't address...

 

What does a sluggish reporter mean to the upcoming season?

 

I am positing his breaking news rate will actually increase by 2,5 stories anove replacement, as he gets himself into awkward situations, and Minnesota Nice will come into play amongst team and management alike...
