Default Wendy's Killings

From the BBC..............

Two killed in Florida restaurant

A gunman killed one person and injured several others at a Florida restaurant before turning the gun on himself.
The incident occurred at a Wendy's outlet in West Palm Beach, in the south-east of the state.

The gunman emerged from the toilets dressed in a business suit and opened fire, eyewitnesses told local TV.

Three of the survivors were in critical condition, a Palm Beach County sheriff spokeswoman said. Two others were slightly wounded.
<<snip>>




Ok, 1st point is it was the 'restaurants' fault for running out of baconators..
secondly, has anyone at the bbc ever been to wendys, i dont class it as a restaurant!

And eating establishments arent called 'outlets." That term is for clothing stores, cooking utensil stores, etc. (And Wendy's is my favorite fast food joint)

How 'bout bring-your-Tums White Castle. One of my favorite late night craves. Sucks they don't have'em in Kansas City. Wendy's is great and so is hear-attack-in-a-bag Steak 'n' Shake. One place I'd like to try when I go back to California is In And Out Burger.

The BBC website is British and "outlet" is used in the British sense, not the American sense.

Oh yes, sliders are great!

After about 1 or 2 a.m. ..... possibly if drunk-ish

Actually, I think they're frozen in the supermarket here even.

The supermarket versions suck. They have to be hot and fresh from the drive-thru to make them worth my while. However the frozen are good if you need just a taste to get you through.

They are awesome! White Castles are much better than Krystals hands down. Trust me Wayne. Either you'll like'em or just tolerate them. Get a sack of cheesburgers. I know you've gotta a White Caste somewhere in Nashville.

lol never tried the frozen ones - but I suppose if desperate...

Actually there's a sliders not too far from here - haven't convinced Keith to try it yet. Wonder if I should try to convince the in-laws it's a required USA experience?
