Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The yummy burger place in my neighborhood has a bunch of sides, including mashed potatoes and potato salad, but no fries. How, I ask you, does a burger place have no fries???

That must be a real position on the part of the owner/chef. I mean, that is really norm-busting!

I am about due for a haircut and that will bring me to my favorite burger place (where I get onion rings instead of fries), so I will hold out until then.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I also get onion rings at my burger joint of choice, but that's because they have the world's best rings -- they HAVE fries. (year-round, even)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

JenP, good heavens, that's... yeah, that's a lot. I'm glad you have the world and the world has you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had McDs today (not a burger) which is not my favorite place for anything, but I was HANGRY and wanted salty.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I also had McD's today because it was easy. Burger no fries.

The burgers are certainly worth the frylessness, but whenever we order carryout from them, we also put in an order for fries at the pizza place just down the block.

That might be the most mind-blowing thing I've read about your neighborhood

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I mean, it sort of fits? Because our neighborhood is so weird, so why would a burger place have something as prosaic as fries? I guess that's the reasoning. But the pizza place has really good fries.

I may be forgetting something that struck me as weirder, but right now it takes the cake. It's a good cake to take! No shade

Yes, same. What do you think are the best rings, though? (I vote strings.)

That is super weird, Teppy. Do they have onion rings? Tater tots? Madness!

Now I want a really good burger, but the last time I got takeout from the decent burger place down the street it was very disappointing. Hmm. Wondering where else I could get a non-fastfood burger now... (I just want to dine in a restaurant and order off a menu and have someone bring it and get drinks and leave and not do the dishes, man!)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

There's a place that does great gyros near me, but they don't do fries. They claim "authenticity," which is cool and all but when I was in Greece, everyone served fries with everything, so I assume it's authenticity circa 1491.
