McDonald's robber demands chicken nuggets, has to accept breakfast food because it was still too early
Hmm, is it time for all day lunch instead? Forget that hard boiled egg and coffee, have a Big Mac and Coke instead.
Edit:
He could have waited for a free McFlurry instead but he must have had no faith their ice cream machine would work.

This Youtuber recently delved a little deeper into the whole ice cream machine thing and made a video about it. TLDW: skip to 28:30.

That's messed up but not a surprise. I read that franchises had the option of an Italian Machine that's better but everything comes from Italia making it costly to maintain with long wait times for parts and service.

Re: Random Thoughts
Yeah, she's a blast! She was supposed to be asleep an hour ago. Instead she just strutted over and handed me her doll. The doll has a bag of rocks tied to one hand and she wants me to make a leash for the miniature toy cat and tie it to the doll's other hand. God knows what's happening in that bedroom.Stretch44 wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 8:25 pmYour daughter is a quote machine.

At least the doll is wearing a mask(?) ::shrug:: Not sure if that makes it any less creepy though.peskydonut wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 10:01 pmYeah, she's a blast!

Her peanut joke reminds me of a Twitter thread where an elementary school teacher rated his students' jokes. Here's a summary of it: https://www.boredpanda.com/teacher-joke ... is-thread/

Mistake of the day
Have to be honest, ever since I moved down to Iowa. Not much in the news down here. We don't have the problems [mention]ManOnTime[/mention] deals w/ everytime he steps out the door. You can trust the corn down here. The Corn protects you. The Corn feeds you. The Corn feeds your car. The Corn becomes you! /jk, I have fond memories of MN overall, especially miss attending sporting events w/out driving 6 hours to Minneapolis or St. Paul. (There seems to be a cop hiding out near Albert Lea every so often and the first 50 miles or so in N. Iowa).

Ouch, that looks like it fell straight onto the screen.

It's my mother in law's phone. She left it on top of the car she was a passenger in. I found it a little later after using Google's Find My Phone feature. It was on the side of the road about a 1/2 mile away.Spirit of the Watch wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 11:40 pmOuch, that looks like it fell straight onto the screen.

When I originally gave her the phone I set it up to automatically backup photos (all she really cares about) to the cloud, so those are thankfully preserved.
