A contest you’re going to lose

I have encountered what has got to be the worst idea of all time. I dare you– I dog dare you– I triple dog dare you with almond milk— to come up with a stupider idea than this idea. You cannot. It is impossible.

According to this article, McDonald’s is in the process of opening a new restaurant chain that will focus on “coffee and other drinks,” competing with Starbucks for that space.

That’s not the bad idea.

The chain is called “CosMc’s.”

That is not the bad idea.

Brace yourself for this shit. You’re going to gasp. I’m not joking. This idea is so breathtaking in its awfulness that I almost don’t want to expose anyone else to it, but I had to read this fucking thing so you ought to have to as well.

Here you go:

I need you to understand that this Kempczinski person is not making fun of McDonald’s for this incredibly bad idea, and that in fact he is the McDonald’s CEO, and he thinks this is a good idea.

I’m going to bed now, because my head hurts, and I don’t think it’s ever going to stop.

NOPE

I’m not writing about fucking Starbucks cups, and you can’t make me.  I’m sick to fucking death of the type of evangelical Christian who thinks that they own all of November and December and that the rest of us have to behave exactly how they want or they’ll make everyone miserable.  And they don’t get any more of my brain cycles.  Fuck ’em all.

Anyway.

Regarding the Jayashree post from a couple of days ago:  I was woken up from a sound fucking sleep last night to quickly type the name of a new story into Wunderlist, at which point I spent an hour trying not to get up and go piss and deal with some vastly annoying heartburn because the cat was in between my legs and I didn’t want to dislodge her.  Both she and I lost that battle eventually, and the story’s about half written in my head right now.  I’m just setting it earlier in her life to avoid having to deal with the, uh, fallout from Jayashree and the Young.

The story, by the way, is called Jayashree and the Gallows Pole.  Let that one roll around in your head for a while.

I’m at my parents’ house all day today keeping an eye on my mom.  Not sure if that means I’ll be around more than usual or less; I do hope to keep up with my NotNaNo word count but beyond that I’m basically just waiting for it to be tomorrow so I can play Fallout 4 23 hours a day for the rest of my life.
