    I've always been "meh" on their onion rings. Always too crunchy for me.

    I'm assuming Evenflow's reaction is due to the fact that Warren Buffett, the billionaire who speaks out against tax schemes designed to benefit the rich and powerful, is a major force behind a merger largely intended to take advantage of a scheme to save tax.

    Yep, the liberal's beloved Buffet has always been a master of playing the PR game while manipulating policy to his benefit. He's the main reason Obama won't endorse the Keystone oil pipeline, for example.

    The fundamental issue is that they are made of chopped onions, rather than sliced. Onion rings at a hamburger franchise makes for good theory, but BK fails in execution.

    How else could they achieve such uniformity of size and shape? Burger King onion rings are the particle board of cuisine.

    See, I wouldn't know, I never eat there. Sonic and Whataburger put out real onion rings, seems our self proclaimed monarch could do the same.

    Tim Hortons corporation has officially approved the deal at $94/share.

    I prefer that little 'red haired girl'. She's really cute. She's got chili too.

    It's going to be really funny when next year notable communist Justin Trudeau gets elected and raises the corporate tax rate.

    I think this is going to turn out to be a "pump and dump" type scheme. It turns out that the fine print involved with relocating Burger King to Canada, denies them tax breaks for any of their existing operations. So, they're not going to save any money by doing this, unless they start opening a lot of new stores. I can't imagine that the demand for Whoppers is so high that there's a call for more stores. The one closest to my house and the one closest to work, are rarely busy.

    This makes me think of what happened with GD Ritzi's and Boston Market. The people running the chains decided that they wanted to make a lot of money quickly, so they cooked the books to make it look like the stores were doing better than they really were, used this to sucker a bunch of people into buying franchises, then got the stock price to sky rocket by talking about all the new franchises and how business was booming at their stores, dumped their stocks, "retired," and then the companies promptly imploded. Boston Market sort of survived by getting bought out by McDonald's, but they're probably not going to be around much longer, GD Ritzi's went tits up. Of course, not all turned out well for some of the executives. At least a couple of them got sent to prison when their scams were revealed.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens.

    I'd think that would be surprisingly obvious. Even for you.

    Think about genders.
    Then about think changing genders, per the word "tranny".
    Then think about FtM again, in relation to the above ideas.
    Then think about MtF again, if you still need a hint.

    YES! Female to male (I think): sorry Chardman, I'm just not as familiar as you are with the whole tranny scene. It's good to have an SME on board to answer my questions.

    I hate onion rings. The worst/overpriced are the "blooming onion" from Outback steak house.

    Bragging about convincing someone to commit suicide is about as low as you can get. I would feel bad if Dayton offing himself and certainly wouldn't brag about how I gave him a hard time online.

    Agree! Nothing you would want to put on a job resume, that's for sure!
