^yeah i caught the BK thing too. My reaction was "he was on captivity in a desert cave for three months and he wants BK? How about that place down the road that does the crazy awesome burgers with the melted pepper jack cheese? I mean, shit..."

- but maybe it's because I don't care about "nice" fast food places.Jaline
- really???
Mc'd's & BK - *wretchesmarychain - yup, and I hardly eat at those two places. just imagining what it would be like..Jaline
