McD's

There's a great movie about the rise of the McDonald's empire starring Michael Keaton, plus Nick Offerman and B. J. Novak in side roles. Can't remember the name of it, but the short version is those two guys in the picture got screwed.

Screwed by Ray Kroc, Richard Nixon's largest money donor.

I've been to the site of the first one Ray Kroc opened. The replica-museum on that site is in the process of being torn down:

There's a modern functional McDonald's right across the street.

I remember 15 cent burgers, 2 burgers, fries, and a drink for less than a buck.

♫ Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
♪ We'd sing and dance forever and a day
♫ We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
♪ For we were young and sure to have our way

And the along came JFK and LBJ, Nixon, and Vietnam. :(

Gawd you must be old. I remember when they were 79¢.

:lol2:

Not age, location, location, location. The burger chains spread to the civilized states first.

A friend in Texas told me he drove around the Indy track a couple weeks ago and was surprised how little banking there is.

12 degrees banking at Indy.

CDN Pacific...

I miss miniskirts, although I never wore one, and probably only 10% of those who did were completely comfortable in them.

Where's the one with knees touching but feet wide apart? That's me.

Well hello there...

Pfft. Apparently I'm sexually interested in everyone, everywhere, including when I'm alone.
