      - Cards are bad? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 9, 11:48 11
        
        cards are a scam. Sappy platitudes slapped on a piece of paper for 3 bucks? - decline Feb 9, 11:51 3
        
        so much depends on the card. what andie said can be perfect, or a blank one with handwritten or printed personal thoughts.. good stuff. -- nm - b. Feb 9, 11:54 1
        
        I am more inclined to blank and just somthing out of my head and heart -- nm - Capstern Feb 9, 12:03
        
        Then make your own, cheapskate. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 9, 11:52
        
        cards are *tricky* actually. they tend to be either funny or sappy. and he really shouldn't be giving either. a LOT can be read into a card. - Andie Feb 9, 11:50 6
        
        thx -- nm - Capstern Feb 9, 11:54

BK's new fries are great. They kick Wendy's fries' ass. McDonald's are the classic standard. -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 11:28 10
- BKs here in TX have an odd after taste. Sonic is good their tots have gone down hill imo -- nm - Capstern Feb 9, 11:33
- Arby's french fries were top notch for awhile. (now not so much) -- nm - Jovian Feb 9, 11:32
- You know, I had a couple of David's fries from McDonald's the other day and I just don't think they're good anymore. - Kim Pine Feb 9, 11:30 5
  - I find McDonalds fries to be the saltiest things I've ever tasted, and I once licked a pile of salt. - Beryllium Feb 9, 11:31 2
    - The only time I dislike McD fries is when they seem to be undersalted. - ty97 Feb 9, 11:33 1
      - agreed - sometimes i think their salt has hidden properties -- nm - Capstern Feb 9, 11:34
  - They really depend on how fresh they are. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 9, 11:30 1
    - True, plus the salt they add varies by location. I'm pretty much off McD fries anyways. -- nm - budice Feb 9, 11:32
- Welcome to the party, pal. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 9, 11:28 1
  - I think what I like most about the new BK fries is that they remind a bit of Wendy's old fries (which were great). - ty97 Feb 9, 11:32
