Post here when something gets CANCELLED

Idiot

Here in my city there is an establishment affectionately known as "the crazy Dairy Queen." It's an ice cream shop that used to be a DQ franchisee until they lost their license for going off menu with items like tacos and omelets, and doing crazy/fun things like serving "small" blizzards that literally extend 6" above the cup.

Sadly, the owner seems to have recently been infected by Fox News induced brainworms, and started covering the inside walls of the shop with Reagan quotes, hilarious "jokes" about women, and other conservative meme material, printed out, blown up and adorably laminated.

This weekend he seems to have leaped face first over the line between "local eccentric" and "dangerous nutjob." FB is blowing up with pictures of anti-vax and anti-mask propaganda posters he's added to the walls by the registers. Whole lotta people vowing never to patronize him again.

Crazy Dairy Queen, you are cancelled.

‘Tis a shame. DQ has great fries.

On that note I got a buddy who owns a DQ franchise. He is a fantastic guitar player, covered in tats, used to date strippers, and is very outspokenly MAGA. Eccentric for sure.

I'm fascinated by the concept of a fake chain restaurant. I read about this one just recently...

The Crazy Story of the Fake Burger King In Pittsburgh

Every city has its own fast food urban legend. All of Toronto still mourns the now-closed Parkdale McDonald's, a location so famously weird that the guy who brought in a full desktop computer to watch porn was actually considered one of the better customers. In Long Beach, they swear by Sweet Dixie Kitchen, which was notoriously exposed for buying Popeye's fried chicken, smuggling it in the back door, and reselling it at a slightly higher price. And nobody in Chamblee, Georgia can order Domino's without remembering the time a deranged gunman named Kenneth Noid took two employees hostage, believing that the chain's nationwide "Avoid the Noid" advertising campaign was aimed at him specifically.

But there's a new champion on the scene. A story so hilariously insane that you simply would not believe it, unless we added that it took place in Pittsburgh. Everything is true in Pittsburgh, the only town where children's stories about a guy with no face wandering around at night turned out to literally be a guy with no face who enjoyed late-night walks (his name was Raymond and he was reportedly a lovely man). This particular tale was sinking into the mists of local folklore until it was recently highlighted by Twitter user ohip13, who has something of a specialty in bizarre Pittsburgh legends. We're talking, of course, about the South Side Fake Burger King.

The first thing to note is that this particular Burger King was never exactly going to win awards. It's drive-thru facility can only be described as a terrifying murder tunnel, while online reviews include phrases like "some shady guy charged me a dollar to use the bathroom," "a homeless guy stole another homeless guy's shoes" and "If you've ever said to yourself 'Hey I want to eat lunch in a dirty bus station...this place is for you!'" There was a McDonald's a couple miles away that was selling Happy Meal toys stuffed full of heroin and it still got better reviews. But around the start of 2014, things went even further downhill, to the point that people started asking "Is this even a real Burger King at all?"

"Hamilton"

FUCK ICE

I think you'll find that most people, even those who love musicals, will agree with you that yes, musicals are silly

[Bi_3]

The idea that fictional characters are so moved by the events of their fictitious lives, and so underserved by common dialogue, that they just have to break out into song and dance routines will never cease to be silly to me

Many of the characters in Hamilton where real trag.
