We call 'em burger joints. I assume you are talking about McDonald's ad the ilk. I personally hate the Expedition, but I'm in the minority, I'm sure. And, well... I have personal issues with obesity. I truely hate it, but ain't much I can do but close my eyes. Dr Pepper is better than Coke, but it has been sold to the UK Schweeps.

I hate that we don't have WRC or GT, that our soccer is weak, and baseball bores me. I'm also not too pleased with our public education.
