The world has gone McCrazy
First there was a giant semi going the wrong way through the mall parking lot in order to deliver supplies to the new "McSnack." I thought that was weird. Then I went to Belvadear (sp?). If you've ever driven down the tollway near Belvadear, Il, you may have seen the giant McDonalds overhang. Well, they recently redid it, and now it has: Starbucks, CrispyCream, and 2 (yes 2!) McDonalds.

Now, I know there are two Strabucks across from eachother in Houston, Texas. (Thanks, Luis Black!) Well, know you know that there are two McDonalds' across from eachother in Belvadear, Ill.

Now all we need is two Hooters' across from eachother on either coast, and we'll have a new "Bermuda Triangle"-like area for the tabloids to talk about.

2. belvidere is the correct spelling.
my grandpa is from there... he's a hard-core RWer. Maybe I should tell him that the policies he suports have closed those mom and pop shops he remembers there and replaced them with starbucks and mcjobs.

3. We have two Waffle Houses in Fayettenam
This town keeps trying and trying to ditch the Fayettenam title, but how the hell are you gonna do that when you can go to the Wal-Mart on Skibo Road, stand in the parking lot of the Waffle House that's there, orient your head to 210 degrees, and look straight at the OTHER Waffle House that's there.

They're both open.

They've both got customers all the time.

Fuckers built two Waffle Houses within pissing distance of each other because it's too haaaaaaaard to cross the street to get to the Waffle House. No shit, that's the official justification.
