Awesome headline subby. By leaving out the "full day of spa services at a salon" and "free dinner complimentary of honey baked ham" that was part of the package these women received, you've practically guaranteed a troll-riffic thread.

I know I should really make a roast beef sandwich joke here, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

That's funny - almost as funny as the headline

Well, to be fair, they probably usually get some bullsh*t flowers from Piggly Wiggly's or something.

I got my mom the fourth season of Quantum Leap.

Because I care.

The preacher in Wisconsin should have told that family to throw their dead grandmother over the fence and let Arby's take care of it.

Shouldn't that be "People that claim children as their biggest accomplishment have failed as human beings"?

While I don't think that not having children makes you a failure in any way I do feel that rasing children that turn out to be decent human beings is a difficult and time consuming task, and worthy of a little pride.

Having kids is easy. Being a good parent takes a lot of work.

 
tatum 2008-05-10 05:55:44 PM  
I live in Taiwan. I'd kill any one of ya...maybe two...to have me some Arby's. I can get BK. But make no mistake, it's strange what you really miss.

I remember when I was single "Trip to Burger King, sure I got 4 bucks"
With the kids I can't get out of there for less than $25

 
rawkus 2008-05-10 06:04:26 PM  
in the great lexicon of fast-food, imo it goes

in-n-out > jib > carl's jr > arby's > bk > wendy's > mcdonald's

i haven't tried white castle yet so i'm not sure how it fits into the mix. one day i'll get over to the east coast though, and then the puzzle will be complete. one interesting note, i was in rhode island int eh summer of '98 and the mcdonald's over there had lobster rolls with real lobster, and it was pretty damn good. if west coast mcdonald's could rock lobster rolls year-round it would probably edge up past bk even.

oh yeah, taco bell hovers around bk and wendy's, but it's not 'burger and fries' type fast food so it kind of has its own category

Got a few locked up in the basement. They're not mine, but I've get 'em. So do I win as human being?

This year for Mother's Day I'm letting my mother psychologically abuse me again.

 
Shorty Longstrokin 2008-05-10 06:20:24 PM  
My mama may love the Arby's, but I refuse to go there since their parent company's hostile takeover of Wendy's and the rape of Dave Thomas as a entrepreneurial icon.

Yes, I'm that petty. Sorry mama, you're thinking Subway this year.

at least most floridians have their teeth, unlike the residents of west virginia, kentucky and arkansas. oh, and subby's mom too.

Neither can I. However,I will ask a sincere question.

"Does your mother have rather pronounced labia majora?" Yes? Then I think that Arby's will be an appropriate choice! Have fun! Don't forget the horsey sauce!

"This is the best Mother's Day present I've ever gotten," said Bowers, one of seven women selected by the salon staff to receive a day of free beauty services including haircuts and styles, facials, waxing, manicures, pedicures and makeup applications. The women also were treated to lunch by Arby's restaurant on State Road 60 and received gifts from local businesses.

Someone is a bit wound up over the Machievellian machinations of fast-food chains.
