View Full Version : Just when you think...
you have life all figured out:
It's the first real day of Spring with 75 degree heat. School is starting to wind down for the year. The Sharks are winning in the playoffs. The Giants are in first place. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and you've never been happier.
You finish class at 10am, hop in the car to grab some lunch with your windows down and sunroof open blasting the new Goo Goo Dolls cd. You've driven this route dozens of times before. You make the U-turn at the light, and pull into the parking lot only to see moving vans packing up the drive-thru menu and tables and chairs. Your local Wendy's has closed and all that was right in the world is now wrong.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations in the form of crispy chicken nuggets to:

that is one of the most depressing things i've ever heard.
i had a similar encounter a few weeks ago. i was home from school for a weekend and our (my friends and me) favorite place to get greasy, disgusting, barely FDA legal burgers and chilli cheese fries after movies or drinking or whatever was closed. it got bought out by the fruity cafe next to it. i wanted to punch babies.

Yes, fortunately they weren't both swallowed up by this act of inhumanity.

Who in their right mind shuts down a Wendy's? You should have rebelled and stole a chair or something.

If I had a bigger car, I might have considered stealing the drive thru menu.
I'm writing corporate headquarters a letter, if anyone wants to voice their outrage, PM me and I'll include your piece (a poem, a picture, a craft, or a letter) in my letter.

Tha should be a sin..Boston Market has the BEST Macaroni and Cheese I've ever had. It's straight from the hands of God.

Without Wendy's in my life, I have nothing. Everything I have ever loved has died. The Juliana Theory, and Dave Thomas.
What will God take next?

I'm pretty lucky. There's 2 of them on Staten Island, and they're both like 10 minutes from me. One thing in Staten Island that's a travesty is that they closed down all the Taco Bells and there is only one Pizza Hut left.

I live in Boston and we don't have them around here. I have never seen a Boston Market so the opportunity to enjoy God's food has not come up.

There's one on Mass maybe 1/2 mile past Commonwealth on the way towards Northeastern.

Stop knowing more about my city than me.
I knew one delivered around here because we have the takeout menus, but I still have never seen one. I refuse to believe they exist here. And back home I have never seen one.

I know it's midnight, but call up and order Mac n Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, and a Turkey Carver with Cheddar Cheese. Trust me, you won't be able to eat anything else for days. It's heaven from a takeout.

Well now that Mark told me where this mystery Boston Market is I will probably stumble over there this weekend because I will be in the area for a party.
Also Mark, have you eaten there or did you do some research
