[ 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.

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

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[grand-lotus.livejournal.com]

What is McDonald's?

[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]

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

[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]

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

[batmanschmatman]

We can always steal one of Tim's kidneys.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

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

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

No way, I've already been implicated. He'd murder me in my sleep.

[batmanschmatman]

Good point.

But you'd get a chance to find out if you're really faster then an angry Robin.

Someone has to staff the McDonald's.

[collector]

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.

You guys are tricky, though. It's not really a fair fight when I'm sleeping.

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

It's easier to cook 40 delicious Big Macs than 40 delicious steaks.

[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.

It's not our fault you guys are never prepared for anything.

Hey, I'm prepared for some stuff! Maybe not for a shark attack but utility belts aren't exactly aerodynamic.

[batmanschmatman]

I don't have a utility belt.

private;

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

You have a utility thing. I know those gadgets don't come out of nowhere.

[batmanschmatman]

Gauntlets, Twinkle Toes. And boots.

Different strokes for different folks, ex-Boy Wonder.

So, what would you do if a shark attacked you?
