    My girlfriend's dad had this problem. McDonald's was always hassling them about being named "McDowell's." McDonald's has the Big Mac; they have the Big Mick.

    They both have too all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions. But McDonald's uses a sesame seed bun - my almost father-in-law's buns have no seeds.

    If only dueling were legal. It was probably the wimpy lawyers (not saying that all lawyers are wimpy or deserve to be challenged to a duel) that pushed for outlawing it in the first place.

    Man, that's stupid.

    Read it. Didn't laugh...

    Jus Mac is overrated. BRC, Zilla, Beavers, they all beat it out. You'd think if you specialize in something it'd at least be the best. Sugar Land one wont last 2 years IMO. Heights one will remain.
