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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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

No onion rings, no tots. I think maybe they just don't want to deep-fry anything? Which is their right, but it really messes with my burger groove.

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

Best rings are from Cincinnati's Big Boy franchise (Frisch's Big Boy), and after that, anyone's onion strings.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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

My go to is McD's chocolate shake and fries. This will soothe the savage beast.

I am in a lousy, fucking, rotten mood. And I can't help but feel that it's here to stay for the next 22 days.

Yup. I just got off the phone with my dad, who said (among other things) that Trump is the one controlling Putin, Trump has kept Covid deaths down, and Trump hasn't done anything to harm women.

I want to believe it's the hallucinations, but no; he's just always been a bigot and I try to ignore that I was raised by someone who doesn't find people of my gender (who he refers to as "females") to actually be human. And, you know, also believes his own facts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh nooooooooooo.

There's a gyro place near me I've never gone to. I should try that.

I no words for this.

Right? I actually had a rage blackout for like 1.5 seconds. Like for real for real. I think I stopped breathing for a second, too.

I literally would have hung up. I'm sorry.

I flat-out told Dad he shouldn't vote. His response to that was "I'm registered." I said "That doesn't mean you have to vote."

Thanks, Zen.

Burgers were pretty good, but the fries were disappointing. I think the place is a chain - The Counter. The best fries I've found around here are from a hot chicken sandwich place called Woo Boi. I can still get the fires (spiced waffle fries; so good), but I can't get the sandwich anymore, which is a shame, because SO good. But breaded, alas.

Oh, but I got a mint chocolate shake, too, and that was yum.
