Ok, forgive the length of this one.
Burger King. Star Wars toys in the kids meals. My son is trying to collect them all. Walk into a BK that has six of the toys he doesn't have. Ask the manager if i can just buy the toys...nope have to pay for the kids meals.
He walks me over to one of the cashiers and tells the young man "ring him up for 6 kids meals, but he just wants the toys, no food"
Manager walks away...
Kid: You want hamburgers or cheeseburgers?
Me: no, I don't want the food, just the toys
Kid: manager said you can't buy just the toys
Me: I know, I'm paying for the meals, just don't make the food.
Kid: But the manager said you can't just buy the toys.
Me:I'm not, I'm buying the food
Kid: You just said you didn't want the food.
Me: fine, make it cheeseburgers, but you can have them
Kid: I can't eat 6 cheeseburgers
Me: Manager!
Manager sorts it out, rings me up, tells the kitchen no food for those meals
Kid: What drinks do you want

Fundamental education (3 are) is in free fall. Chinese are waiting to move in…could be closer than everyone th
Ok I am going to use this thread to state my position on something.....related to the subject matter....

I am not sure why that kid at Beaver Stadium felt he could simply say anything he wanted about Kelce's brother (I forget which one is which)......but he was looking for a reaction......and he got it. It was a visceral reaction. It was unfortunte the way it ended for him and who knows what the next step may be (kid files a lawsuit, who knows). I have no qualms with how Kelce handled it. Frankly, I would have done the same. You don't have a right to be verbally abusive, and you especially shouldn't be surprised when you get a visceral reaction.

I am sure there is a thread on this somewhere, but....I am using this thread to state my position.

My

My guess is that he wanted what happened to happen so he could get it recorded and maybe get some money out of Kelce - no other reason I can think of unless he was one of Taylors ex's :)
I am glad the kid got his phone broken. However, doesn't the First Amendment give us the right to say mean things to people? Kelce should act like an adult and walk away. Surely he has heard worse from the fans in Philly at one time or another when the Eagles weren't playing well. Someone calling your brother a name doesn't give you the right to assault someone and destroy their property.

Weather threads.
Speaking of weather threads ... boy do I miss them.

Was watching last weekend's F1 race in Brazil on the ESPN Spanish speaking channel, and one of their announcers was a female, and boy was she hot. Got me to wondering why all the Spanish speaking female announcers are so hot compared to what we get in the USA.
