McDonald's will be giving away 5,000 free pre-paid transit cards and 5,000 coupons for a free Angus Third Pounder burger during morning rush tomorrow. The promotion is part of its “Try Free, Ride Free” campaign, mainly to promote the Angus Third Pounders if you remove the "g" from "Angus" and the "h" from "Third" you'll have an idea of what we think of the burgers but a free ride to work is alright, as well. 'Course, if you eat enough of these burgers, you won't be able to fit into your seat on the train and have shortness of breath running to catch your bus, but the latter is exercise. So that's good.
Here's where to get your free stuff in the city tomorrow:
- 95th St. Red Line
- Addison Red Line
- Belmont Red/Brown/Purple Line
- Davis Purple Line
- Diversey Brown/Purple Line
- Fullerton Red/Brown/Purple Line
- Harlem Green Line
- Howard Red/Purple Line
- Jefferson Park Blue Line
- Pulaski Orange Line

Snark if you will, but the plain cheeseburger iteration of those is fucking delicious.
I haven't had McDonald's in months, but I've heard the same enough times to make me consider trying one.
Mmmm, yes...the plain Mickey D's cheeseburger. Those buttery buns lure me in once in a while.
My beef with the Angus burgers (pun intended) is that, being McDonald's, they have to overcook them to the point where the better beef doesn't make much difference. I've paid more for a worse burger, but if I can't get mine cooked medium, I'll pass.
yeah, just what we need, more fat people on the CTA!
We should kill all the fat people. And the breeders and yuppies, too.
(how do you like living in a glass house?)
Matilda, I know you're "ADD" but please try to stick to one subject at a time! Now back to the kill list! Do you think "bros" qualify as yuppies? Because if not, I'd like to add them too to the kill list!
I'd like to add fake* progressives like you to that list.
*that is, you are snobby, far too self-assured and your so-called education seems to involve only one side of a given issue, much like those right wingers you claim to be so different from. You are useless, frankly, beyond the task of serving coffee or beers to your betters.
What is your argument with what he said exactly? McDonald's unhealthy "food" is a big cause of obesity in this country, and there *are* too many obese people in this nation. Or is that incorrect?
I like how you decry Spook's snobiness and then proceed to insult everyone in the bar/restaurant industry, which includes a number of good pals of Navin btw. Logical inconsistency.
Chill out, bro. Just tossing back shit.
Frankly, if a person can't control what he or she eats, I really don't care that much. People are free to be fat.
I have many pals in the industry, too. Most of them work their asses off for much less money than I make. Just a dumb joke about the snobbiness and sillly bias of some asshole who pretends he/she is progressive or revolutionary or really gives a shit about other people beside him or herself.
Fair enough,
People who hand me drinks are Gods in my eyes.
I pour a mean Scotch.
You may call me Zeus if you would like.
Navin are you siding with Matilda?
I mean I could see siding with Matilda's mother especially during the winter, but to side with Matilda is akin to breathing the same fetid air( body to body) with a fat Komodo dragon after its meal of a rotted water buffalo carcass
p.s. if you have never seen a komodo Dragon, hit the google key
Dear god, I've not heard insults of such quality and wit since 7th-grade homeroom.
Step up your game.
A momentary smokin' of the piece pipe Spook, also they've got an excellent stuffed Komodo at the field museum!
