But it IS burgers and fries. Tom Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 02:56:35 PM
After burgers and fries, I'd say hot dogs and fries. After that, I'd say steak with potatoes of some sort. After that, I'd say fried chicken.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
