Your jealousy shines through again Don.

Have you received a picture of Harry's 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat
yet?

No, I'm pointing out but one of Harry's many, many lies. There are
others, as you well know.

Yes, Harry's Lobsta' boat in particular. Aren't you the least bit
curious about Harry's Lobsta' boat? Does it exist? Did it ever exist?
Was it just another one of Harry's lies?

Even when you don't pay Blurto any attention, he behaves badly.

You should be talking to the poster here who was invited out on one of
Harry's boats.
If he had played his cards right, he could have solved your question.
Since I live way up here and have little chance of seeing any of Harrys
boats, I'll take his word on what he sails.

Why? He was invited on Harry's Parker, not his 36' Zimmerman like
lobster boat.

No, because Harry's never invited anyone on his alleged lobster boat.
Don't you find it odd that Harry will take a picture of his laptop
computer, his cat, his printer, his fat hand, the hotel he stayed at,
just to prove that he has those things, but there's no such picture of
his 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat, or any history of his father's
fireboat welcome to NY city (even the NYFD chief historian says there
is no account of such), no pictures of his infamous single handing
around the horn, his sailing from SF to Hawaii, and all of his other
lies?

The high:

Today is the birthday of Leonardo da Vinci, the Italian
genius whose work epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal and whose
Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (1503–06) are widely influential
paintings. Born in 1452.

The low:

On this day in 1955, Roy Croc opened the first McDonald's franchise in
Des Plaines, Illinois, and in that same year started the McDonald's
Corporation.


:)

Yup,

It made us FAT. (most of us)

If you watch any footage of the general population
from that time and prior, you'll notice that most
folks are a normal weight.


Go to any locale where people populate these days
and notice that most everyone has "junk in the trunk"

Why?

Fast food, and drive through windows. Not the only
cause, but a major playa.

I know, Im as guilty as anyone.

btw, I think its *rAy* Croc.
He bought the rights for the franchise from the McDonald brothers
(or bought the actual 1st store)
They had the idea/concept of "Fast food". Ray was smart
enough to know that idea would work anywhere and capitalized
on it.

Dave Thomas and Col. Sanders were pretty smart fellows as well
in that regard.

It was Ray. I screwed up his name on my post. Actually, I wasn't
thinking about how much fat was in McDonald's crap food, but how very
bad it was in terms of *taste*! That's why I picked it as a "low point"
of civilization.

But you are absolutely correct in pointing out the problems in eating
what most fast food joints serve up.

Don, I was invited out on one of Harry's boat's. It wasn't on his
"Lobsta' boat".

I believe it was Ray Croc. First store was about 2 miles from my childhood
home.

Any White Castles there? I was delivering papers on my bike when I
saw my first MacDonalds, around 79th and Jeffery.
There was an old White Castle a couple blocks east. I tried one of
the McDonald burgers - it was 15 cents. Liked the smaller White
Castle much better - it was 12 cents.
That was '59 I think. Maybe '60.
I still eat 8 White Castles once in a while, when I get the craving, 3
or 4 times a year. Of course I always regret it for a couple days.
Never cared at all for McDonalds. Best thing they have is the
breakfast sandwiches. I'll stop when we travel for that if that's how
our schedule is working, but otherwise stay away.
None of my kids got hooked on that, either, because I only took them
there if we were on the road.
A good hamburger is easy to make.
Now fried chicken - that's another story.
