[ Wally is bored, like so many others. But he learned his lesson after last time, and instead of whining about how bored he is? He's going to talk your ears off. ]

I always did hate politics. Court is adjourned, right? I hate courts too. No good memories ever come out of court. No matter how it ends, somebody comes out with their life thrown out of whack and most of the others come out feeling attacked at one point or the other. It's just one big pile of suck.

Here's an idea, why don't we have a vote about getting McDonald's in the dining hall? The food is good enough, sure, but I'd give my left kidney for a Big Mac. Make the vote for real change on the barge.

I guess I should be glad I'm not in the Justice League. I hear their 'talks' are awful. Still, I have to admit, nobody in the world throws a better party.

I could get behind a campaign for McDonalds.

You had better be backing me up on this. I'm counting on your vote!

[batmanschmatman]

And you've got it, but I think I'm going to be keeping my kidneys, if that's cool with you.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Can't say I blame you, but what if we need it for the cause?

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. [Omega is frankly horrified. Go back to tempting fate, damn you!]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

What, you have something against McDonald's? I could always settle for Burger King. Or even Wendy's, they have pretty good fries.

[rass-bestie.livejournal.com]

It's just plain... tacky! I'm sure a small restaurant have serviceable... fries. [He's resisting the temptation to call them chips.] And you'll be secure in the knowledge that these things matter to them. The personal touch.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Tacky, maybe. Delicious, definitely. Plus it would take the pressure off the kitchen to cater to my superspeed metabolism.

What is McDonald's?

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

It's a restaurant we have back home. They make the best burgers for really cheap.

Which sort of McDonald's? Japanese McDonald's? American McDonald's? Killoran McDonald's? [Species is never a problem when a franchise wants to expand.] I personally favour Martian McDonald's. The meat is always superior to other types.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Do I have to choose? I couldn't taste the difference between Kansas McDonald's and French McDonald's. I couldn't say the same about Martian McDonald's, but I haven't really been in space recently.

[collector]

It may be best to do so. Unless you'd want the Admiral to select his preferred McDonald's.

If we're going to make a vote for some food, I vote for some fucking sushi. Or Chinese.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Chinese, yes! It isn't a Monday night without some Americanized Chinese food.

[yourunichase]

I'd fucking kill for someone who can make actual sushi rice, though.

And beef with garlic sauce.

Politics, court. They're all just something to screw over one if not multiple people. I mean the whole talk of lawyers being sharks is way more than accurate. Actually, I'd probably feel more comfortable with actual sharks than I would lawyers. I'd probably be more impressed by their abilities to twist words and seek the flaws or weaknesses in your testimony if they were doing it for any sort of good.

Fuckin' hated that shit when I was on the force.

I would back up that vote, man. You don't even know. Dammit, now I'm jonesin' for some fries.

Justice League?

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

I don't think McDonald's would be a good choice.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

No? Are you more of a Burger King fan?

[physicslol.livejournal.com]

No, I don't really eat much fast food.

[deepdowndark.livejournal.com]

I would totally endorse any move to get that particular food.

Especially that drink named after coal. That's particularly good. [He means Coke.]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You mean... Coca Cola? I'll add it to my list of demands.

[deepdowndark.livejournal.com]

I think that is what it was called, yes.
