    "Try are McGriddles"

    is on the sign in front of the McDonalds at 23rd and Penn. Someone needs to take a picture and send it - somewhere.

    I also saw a place by work that sells "Slink Dogs". I have no idea what a slink dog is, but it doesn't sound tasty. Looking at the place, I imagine it is code for crack cocaine.

    Hmmm...I wonder if "Try" really "are" McGriddles?

    Re: "Try are McGriddles"

    Misspellings on signs irritate me, too.

    That paper I had last week? I got docked a point because I didn't follow APA "Stlye" and my "gramar" wasn't up to snuff.

    That's the McDonald's by my house. Yes, I'm a hood rat, but that's not the issue. That Mickey D's is the WORST EVAR at getting the order right. I would say a good 30% of the time my order is f'd up. Order a McGriddle, get a McMuffin. No hash browns. Dr. Pepper instead of Coke. I now make it a policy to not move from the window until I've inspected my order, including unwrapping the sandwiches, which of course pisses everyone off. Sorry in advance if you're sittling behind me. That store is staffed by absolute morons.

    That said, the new one at Classen and Sheridan, on my way to work, is making a strong run at most incompetent. I've been there four times so far, and gotten the wrong sandwich two of them, including this morning.

    So why do I still go to McDonald's? Because I am a lemming, like everyone else.

    Re: "Try are McGriddles"

    It bugs me when people put unnecessary quotation marks on a sign.

    "Try our new desserts."
    One of my favorite signs was at a chinese restaurant.

    R You Can Eat
    Get it? Chinese?

    Angry Re: "Try are McGriddles"

    Why do so many people think any word that ends with the letter s must also have an apostrophe, whether it is possessive or not?

    GDC,
    I think people do it because it's too much trouble to actually learn the apostrophe rules. I blame George W. Bush for not spending more money on a nationwide Apostrophe Education program. The heel.

    The McDonalds at 23rd and Broadway however, is one of the best anywhere, go figure?! They did give me back incorrect change once, but they have never screwed up an order!

    He'd probably benefit from it as much as anybody else.

    well i'm 40 and was eating there when I was like 7...so yeah....i mean, if at least 33 years counts as "forever"

    its old, i know that....i remember asking my granddad everytime we went there if maybe once we'd buy a hamburger and they'd go out and change the number burgers sold on the sign...

    I would definitely avoid the special sauce at that McDonald's.
