McDonalds?

Meh. I prefer places that serve real food. Like Jack in the Box!

Jack in the box is a great restaurant.

Arby's?

Pricey, but tasty! I love their chicken bacon and swiss, especially.

I like the mozzarella sticks.

Jack in the Box, easily. Their burgers are pretty good (especially their newish Buttery Jack line) and I really love adding their 2 tacos to meals I might order. They also have some pretty good curly fries.

Favorite restaurant for french fries?

If we're not limited to fast food joints, I would say Red Robin. They have bottomless seasoned steak fries (or they used to when I lived in Spokane) so it was very easy to get your money's worth when you ate there. (Well, that and they have fantastic burgers.)

A few dozen probably...but off the top of my head, the Firebird Trilogy by Kathy Tyers (which doesn't include the two later books, which were lauded by a lot of people, but not what I wanted), and the Face of the Deep series by Steve Rzasa. Also, The Dark Trench Saga by Kerry Nietz..almost anything by Enclave (latently Marcher Lord) press, actually. They are to Christian speculative fiction what GUI's are to computers. <3

That depends...are you willing to cry openly at a restaurant table over the sheer flavor glory of a properly made Grand Escape sammich and hand-cut (skin on) french fries?

It is a question all men must ask themselves in their lives.

Caveat: the stores make their stuff to order, and as such If you get a good Steak Escape franchise with good employees, it will break your mind. If you get a bad one, it's just OK.

Do you like sporks?

Books I'll have to look for, then. Thanks!

So what is on the Grand Escape? And incidentally, it doesn't look like there's a single Steak Escape in the Pacific Northwest. I'd have to go to Colorado to find the closest one. So it'll probably be a long, long time before I can try one....

Who doesn't? In fact, Sporkman was the first one of my "lamest superhero concepts" I ever thought of. (I find it fun to come up with ideas for superheroes with pathetic powers. "Abracadaver" is another of my favorites - he can turn himself from living to dead and back at will. No, not like a zombie or anything, just your normal, average corpse....)

Favorite Super Hero?

He's a B-list character in the Marvel universe, but I've always liked Quicksilver. Partially because he's got the superpower I wish I could have (super speed), and partially because I like his arrogant attitude of constantly being annoyed. There was one issue in which he was talking to a psychiatrist about his attitude, and he provided an analogy which explained it perfectly.

He basically asked the psychiatrist if he had ever gone shopping and was ever stuck behind that one person who has to dig through her purse for the coupons for her cat food, and the milk, and the cereal, and then count out the exact change, to the last penny, before finishing her transaction. And everything she does is just... so... slow....

Now imagine the entire world is inhabited by people like that. Then you understand why Pietro Maximoff is constantly annoyed.

(And no, I haven't seen Age of Ultron yet. I really need to!)

LOL
Speaking of fast Super Heroes, do you like The Flash?

Actually, I've never really been into any of the DC crowd. The art style has never been as good as Marvel, in my opinion, and neither has the writing style. Plus, I think Superman is a "cheap" character - he's got tons of powers, but only one weakness to a rare mineral (which really should be a gas, but I digress...). So no, I'm not really fond of Flash. Or any of the DC superheroes, really.

Except Batman. Everyone likes Batman.
