Like someone ruptures a newly discovered tendon in his wrist in such a way they name the tendon after him, causing him to miss a dribbler up the middle and lose a play-in game for the wild card after being in 1st 3 weeks earlier.

If you put it in a Smashburger / Shake Shack type packaging, I'd believe it came from one of those places. It doesn't taste very McDonald's-y. It's too big, though, both too much food and unwieldy. Give me a Mid-sized Arch.

I brought over a misdelivered Cologuard box to the right address and rang the call box because I didn't want to leave it on the sidewalk. I'm obviously not a delivery guy so I explained what happened and the guy came and got it.
Can't decide if it was wrong or nice of me that I wished him good luck
The rate at which spirits companies are basically eliminating entire tiers of marketing is going to make cocktails worse, because becoming a high level brand rep is viewed as an end-point/off-ramp for career bartenders, thus something to reach for for newbies

If I had more characters I was going to describe them as "like tiny, crunchy Samoas without the chocolate" and LOL I would have been correct. 18% of daily saturated fat!
Shit. Samoas are 30%. I have a physical today that apparently I should have scheduled before Girl Scout Cookies season.
Honestly kinda impressed with my memory on that one. It's been at least 32 years since I've had the stuff. Can't tell you a damn thing about calculus, and I last used that stuff "only" 20 years ago
