I wouldn't go so far as to say "disgusting," but it's not very good (Jack in the Box is legit disgusting--only edible thing on the menu that I've seen is the mozzarella sticks, and that's just because it's hard to fuck that up). IMO, the volcano nachos were the best thing I've had there.

Betos/Rancherito's is king.

@Fawlty gonna be the only one that knows what's up.

Their Al Pastor burritos. MESSY AS FUCK but SO GOOD. AND... pickled carrots with jalapenos and onions and their avocado salsa.

The mozz sticks are one of the worst items at Jack in the Box. Their tacos are obviously their best item, followed distantly by some of their breakfast items. Their sandwiches are inedible.

However, the only truly "disgusting" American fast food joint is White Castle. There is literally nothing good about that place. You'd think it'd at least be sodium-rich to mask the bad quality, but nope. It's bland on top of being soggy and gross.

How do you feel about the fact Ukraine donated $10M to the Clinton campaign in 2016?

Even if true, she's not the sitting President and using the office to cover it up.

I tried a couple of bites of their taco once and found it to be inedible. One of the worst food experiences of my life, really.

Clearly, it's a matter of you not having a sufficiently refined and properly calibrated palate.

one of the worst food experiences I've had has been at Denny's. (I know I know)
but they are one of the few eateries around here that are open 24 hours.

anyway, I ordered cheese fries, based off the picture of the menu. I saw beautiful fries drenched in liquid melted cheese.

the plate I got was old ass fries with some cheddar cheese thrown on top that were obviously tossed in the microwave.

disgusting

Or not being inebriated enough.

Legit other than being a zombie when I wake up I can only eat fast food when like drunk or high. Like, the national chains.

Beto's was nice on many a drunken food run. The close one to me in Ogden was open 24 hrs which made up for the slightly less than great quality (still pretty good though).

Their bacon/egg breakfast burrito and add steak is great too.

The couple in the West Jordan area near like Jordan Landing are 24 hours too. Too bad I have to drive through Magna to get to work and I don't think they have one. ARGH

Top 10 Taco Bell menu items of all time:

1. Smothered Burrito (RIP)
2. Shredded Chicken Mini Quesadilla
3. Cheesy Gordita Crunch
4. Crispy Potato Soft Taco (RIP)
5. Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes
6. Spicy Potato Soft Taco
7. Cool Ranch Doritos Loco Taco (RIP)
8. Chalupa Supreme
9. Breakfast Crunch Wrap
10. Bean Burrito

Eat your hearts out, non-Americans. But do so because you can't get real Mexican food, not because you may or may not be able to eat this garbage.

Yo, the breakfast crunchwrap is my favorite fast food breakfast item from any chain. I wish their iced coffee wasn't so shitty.

Please tell me that muppet is Oscar's niece or something

@Gregolian You were talking about not liking Parks and Rec except for single clips.

This is easily one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen on TV. I don't know how it isn't YT famous. For reference, Ron has a foot injury (bunion I think) and won't go to the doctor.

Or Oscar's daughter...

maybe Oscar is the opiate addicted parent...maybe that's why he lives in a garbage can.

I'm hoping for an Oscar redemption arc where he finds out that he has to take custody of the girl, so he cleans up his life and moves them into better living conditions.

Me, mentally, at my last job.

"I want to know my boyfriend's next court date"
*Look up case, note it's a DV Assault with the caller listed as the victim
"His court date is XYZ at ABC time"
*in the background
"HONEY! ASK WHO MY ATTORNEY IS!"

Whole different conversation, friendo. Hardees, which is terrible for lunch and dinner, is the reigning fast food champ for breakfast imo. Their Loaded Omelet Biscuit is excellent.

What is happening to this country? This is the school's abrogating their responsibility to discipline and getting the police involved over nothing.

Kansas middle school student is facing felony charges after she allegedly made a gun shape with her hand and pointed her finger at four students before pointing her finger at herself. Seriously.

Police hauled her out of school in handcuffs, arrested her and charged the child with a felony for threatening.

Shawnee Mission school officials said they could not discuss the case, citing privacy laws, but did say it wasn’t the district that arrested the child.

According to the Kansas City Star, the incident unfolded in a classroom at Westridge Middle School.

The person said that during a class discussion, another student asked the girl, if she could kill five people in the class, who would they be? In response, the girl allegedly pointed her finger pistol — like the ones many children use playing cops and robbers.

Because of that gesture, The Star was told, the girl was sent to Principal Jeremy McDonnell’s office, and the other students involved were also talked to. The school resource officer recommended that she be arrested, the source said. She was detained by police and later released to her mother.

It’s idiotic to pursue felony charges against this child. Are police going to charge the student who asked the 12-year old the question with inciting violence?

This story goes from bad to worse, according to Star columnist Toriano Porter, who points out the fact that two kids in the same school district who recently brought real guns to school aren’t facing felony charges for their actions.

Officials, who wouldn’t disclose how the two students were disciplined, said there was no evidence to suggest the teenagers planned to use the guns at school. Both were charged in juvenile court with possession of a firearm, a misdemeanor.

So, let me get this straight: Bringing a gun on campus is a misdemeanor? But threatening someone with few half-cocked fingers is a felony with potentially life-altering consequences?

Did I miss something here? It sure seems like school and law enforcement officials did.

According to the local district attorney, the reason why for the disparate charges in the two cases is simply a matter of law.

Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe said bringing a gun to school is a serious matter, but in general, a felony charge can only be levied if a kid commits the same crime a second time.

Charging the 12-year-old girl with a felony “is something we don’t agree with,” Howe said. “But that is something the Legislature should look into.”

It’s good to know the DA doesn’t think a felony charge is appropriate here. Hopefully that means his office won’t be pursuing a case against the 12-year old for her finger gun. As Porter points out his his column, however, it never should have escalated to the point of getting the police involved in the first place.

Surely school officials and police could have taken steps to address her behavior, consider why she acted out and assess her mental health. The fact that a person familiar with the incident said that another student had asked the girl who she would choose if she could kill five people in the class raises even more questions.

Pointing a finger gun at classmates and then yourself is a cry for help — not a criminal act of violence.

I’m not even going to go so far as to say that this 12-year old was exhibiting a “cry for help.” She could have just been a 12-year old who wasn’t thinking that responding to a dumb question by a classmate was going to end up with her in handcuffs. What’s next? Arresting kids playing “Kiss, Marry, Kill” at lunch for making threats?

The 12-year old girl is now living in California with her grandfather, and will hopefully be able to put this incident behind her, but if the laws in Kansas need to be changed to prevent idiotic situations like this from taking place in the future, I hope legislators in the state will see to it that there are no more felony charges for finger guns in the future.

They used to be GOAT-level when I was a pup. Had roast beef, fried chicken, and peach cobbler. Now they're just a regular burger joint. And not very good outside of breakfast.
