My new commute to work involves driving past two Arby's restaurants, and I am somewhat ashamed to say that I eat at one of them at least once a week. Aside from enjoying my occasional roast-beast sandwich and jamocha shake, I have noticed a few strange things about Arby's. First of all, they have signage on their counter that advertises "sides" for your meals. It lists: hash browns, jalapeno poppers, cup of cheese. It all sounds normal until you get to the "cup of cheese." Now, I realize that this is probably cheese to dip your poppers or possibly even your curly fries in, but should a cup of cheese really be considered a side? Maybe they list it as a side so they can justify charging the same price as they would for a legitimate add-on to a meal, but it just bothers me.
Secondly, I have noticed that both Arby's (Arby'ses?) have posted small signs near the road that say "Bag of Ice - 99 cents." Is business really that bad that Arby's has to sell water during the summer to stay out of the red? What would compel a person to swing by their local Arby's seeking a bag of ice? I guess 99 cents is a good price as far as bags of ice go, but there still seems to be something fishy about this particular item for sale.
In other fast-food news, Guy was amazed that no one removed the "g" from the sign at McDonald's for the new Angus burger.

Laura and I were out driving around tonight and picked up these bargains:
* 4 cups of cheese to go with our McDonalds order
* 3 bags of ice to refresh us
* 2 anus burgers from McDonalds.
* 1 funny summary of your post
( smile !!! )
Did you really mean to write "roast beast"? If so, shame on you. If not, then it's hilarious.
