Ya, the largest Big Gulp is SO MANY calories. Ford used to have several of those a day.I've been reflecting on this.
Y'know, when 7-11 first started popping up in Toronto c1980, I could "get" the appeal of Slurpees (and I "knew of them" going back to my first trip to Florida in 1972: TV commercials et al). Who can resist the intense psychedelic buzz of a frosty drink? But Big Gulps, I could *not* "get"--like, what were they? Just regular soft drinks with ice in a large plastic cup. Compared to the intensity of a Slurpee, the concept of a Big Gulp just seemed...inert. What's the point?
Maybe it's a point-of-origin thing; Slurpees date back to 1967, Big Gulps to 1976. Kind of like going from Psych into Sloth--1976 marking an approximate dawn for the Listless White Trash era. Which brings us back to RoFo: Big Gulps as mother's milk for peabrained morons. Slurpees never lost their edge; Big Gulps never had an edge to begin with. (Myself, if I wanted extra-large sugary drinks, a family-sized bottle of cola in the fridge would do. Big Gulps just felt like a waste, and Super Big Gulps were just too big altogether--at least bottled colas had tops that could be snapped back on, or if not that, everybody had one of those metal bottle-stoppers back in the pre-screw-on era. Whereas if you had a Super Big Gulp and couldn't take it all in one sitting, you were skunked.)
She sent an email to her bosses saying not to write an article. That's why there was no obit. Yet Worms was barking like he knew it all already.

It now appears that least one of Flagg's Follies and D'Nation are playing with the notion of "assisted suicide" in the tragic situation.
So Gawker's filing for bankruptcy. Ford Nation, rejoice!
Not a peep yet, I think they are just lying around in repose and waiting to hear from the Wonder Twins and Gleek.So Gawker's filing for bankruptcy. Ford Nation, rejoice!
And in another Trump as Ford episode, Trump claims that "I am the least racist person that you've ever encountered." Lies like Ford too.
Groundhog day indeed. He has had such an amazing career with the Ford era and now this insanity in the US. Going from the Ali funeral to Orlando and who knows what else is to come.Trump is following so closely in Rob's footprints it's actually scary. Now he's cut off the Washington Post, because he doesn't like what they write about him. He's also smearing Obama with the same kind of "read between the lines" statements that Rob made about Daniel Dale.
With Dale in the U.S. covering this election, he must think he's watching Ground Hog Day 2016.
