(no hugh fuel tanks to be discarded) You would you? You're impressed when they throw an extra pickle on your Micky Dees hamburger. Sorry we don't have 'Micky Dees' up here. We have enough of your crappy burger chains already. Can't understand nicknames? You call enough names to be expert at it. http://www.mcdonalds.ca/en/index.aspx -- John H. |

Absolutely the worst roadside hamburger that I've ever had was in Canada - a place called Jocko's, somewhere between Niagra Falls and Sarnia. To this day, many years later, our family calls any bit of food that we find nearly inedible a Jocko burger. |

I was in orlando a few years ago on and missed a shuttle launch by a couple of days. Now I kick myself in the rear for not staying over. Dennis |
