It's funny, but two people brought up my Pittsburgh Wendy's job experience to me in the last three days. Out of nowhere, even. Since I have fond memories of that Wendy's and the people there, here's a trip down memory lane.

There were a lot of good people at that job....

That photo was taken at the Vancouver Gathering, and it's part of a kitty hoody series. In one of them, they had me play with a yarn scarf.

Heh,

You know, if I knew about all this back when I was a regular consumer of fast food, I probably never would set foot in these places without some kind of insurance policy Love the bun slide.

People wondered who you were talking to? What did they think the headset was, some new kind of bionic walkman?!!

Gav!

btw- love the kitty hoody. A local shop here actuallys stocks some now... I'm tempted... not the kitty version, but they've got a cool Tasmanian Devil (paws with fake sharp claws, hood with pointed ears and little black devil horns)...

Dare I ask what you saw in McDonald's? Lemme guess- DOUBLEMEAT PALACE wasn't fiction, was it?!

Gav!

btw- sent you an interesting shot of Nathan Fillion...

Nah. The mystery meat wasn't vegetarian. I was talking more about how at Mickey D's they'd mass prepare the bun tops with the sauces and leave 'em out on the table. Where flies would land on them.

Dude, that e-mail didn't have anything in it! You're holding out on me!
