What is going on down at the Little Sleazers?  You can get a pepperoni for $6.79, a cheese for $6.79 and a half pepperoni/half cheese for $7.79.

There's a YouTube video explaining how they can be so cheap. Shit for ingredients and things like using condensed or dry mixes only using water from the local location.

By the way I've been getting a series of earthquake alerts over the last 15 minutes or so. Ring of fire stuff is happening again...

Oh yeah but why is a cheese the same price as a pep, yet half cheese/half pep cost a buck more?

That's a skilled product.  Dividing by half is math.

Anybody seen PW since his visit to Wendy's?

You can't just start out with a double Baconator with double fries and a bucket of Coke and just walk away - you have to work up to that with years of Chicken McNuggets, double-deck Whoppers, Frostys, butter and syrup infused pancakes, guac and cheese covered triple curly garlic fries, deep fried Twinkies, holiday turduckens, and so on.  I hope he made it out.

While I'm girding my loins to visit Wendy's, here's another subject that must be close to your fatty, degenerate hearts: coffee.

I tried some coffee bags the other day. Now, I wasn't expecting much but they were pretty good overall. So, what is your preferred coffee making method? And what are the best coffee chains over there? Is Starbucks as underwhelming there as it is here? What other coffee chains do you have that we don't?

Starbucks is more like satanic than underwhelming.  But what a business plan. Buy the cheapest coffee available. Burn it so that the coffee is undrinkable. Then convince people to add stuff to it to make more of a milkshake and charge extra for the extra stuff.

The best chains near me are local and regional. And my Bernie supporting, far left college professor niece makes very good coffee.

Since you are open to providing extra descriptive info on this niece - how is her rack?

And is there an older, portly gentleman sitting in the corner sipping ion complimentary water, taking advantage of the cool AC and free Wi-Fi?

I'm not a coffee guy but Mrs. WAN likes Caribou Coffee.

Ha! I was wondering how that would work out for you. There are plenty of older films that could turn out well in an IMAX format. I never really 'got' 2001 anyway, so it wouldn't be high on my list of candidates.

I saw Lawrence of Arabia a few years ago. It wasn't on IMAX but if you've only seen it at home then you've only had half the experience. I thought perhaps this would convince me it was worth watching, since I'd never liked it before. Oh well, you live and learn and I've never seen anything on a screen that big before. Oddly, the bit that worked the best was the 'Dawn of Man' sequence, the space stuff hasn't worn well at all.
