You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The scary part is, I think that is still fewer calories than a large latte from Starbucks. Anyway, I saw a segment about caloric content of various take-away foods, and a Starbucks drink came out on top.

The real question is, if you want a breakfast that big, why stuff it all down your throat to go? If you want breakfast, surely you also want a plate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

AND if you get the Lumberjack special at your local diner, you can probably get a THIRD kind of meat!

Jessica, I believe you are thinking of the McGriddle, which I don't believe is deep-fried, just a pancake sandwich.

Art Crawl!!!

Whoa! Somebody won the extra-huge Derby Superfecta!

And then lost his ticket -- but then the ticket was found!

Nutritionally, a latte's the same as a big glass of milk. The Frappechino's the one you don't want to read the label on.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

McGriddles aren't very big, though. They about the same size as a McMuffin.

Courtesy of a local radio station, whenever I see a McDonalds, I get earwormed with bits of this song about Ray Kroc.

Mainly the "It's dog eat dog/Rat eat rat/Kroc-style/Boom, like that" whic, you know....crushes any cravings for sure.

I was guessing from the "sausage patty wrapped in pancakes" part.

No, that's probably the one I was thinking of. I haven't been in a McDonald's in ages -- on TV, they look ginormous. And fried.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay. I love Egg McMuffins, and if they weren't so horribly bad for me, I'd eat one once a week.

I felt horribly betrayed by the Frappaccino. It's not even that good. I'd have a frappe at Brigham's if I was going to make a decision about consuming that many calories/grams of fat in one sitting.

This is another reason why I like The Coffee Bean. They have yummy coffee drinks that aren't that terrible for you, if you're going to expend some calories, and they only use fat free milk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Deep fried twinkies.

That's really all I have to add.
