Reality Check by Dave Whamond for July 02, 2023

Pavement is our pillow, without a sheet we’ll lay, underneath the arches, we dream our dreams away.

At least the St. Louis arch doesn’t have an annoying clown.

And the Burger King is their arch enemy.

I remember when it was being built, how I would like to see it someday. I finally did in the late 90’s and I wasn’t disappointed. I would have liked to take the ride to the top, but it wasn’t working that day.

Scary.

Cleo McDowell (from “Coming to America”) : Look… me and the McDonald’s people got this little misunderstanding. See, they’re McDonald’s… I’m McDowell’s. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.

One of the best BBQ places in the US is in St. Louis (Pappy’s).

So I see.

Arch you glad you’re here?

Hmmm, I’m not totally sure that I get why the St. Louis Arch is…

SQUIRREL!!!

Dang it!… he got me again! What was I sayin’…

… oh, I’m not sure I get the joke here! But then again, I’m a little under-caffeinated and I haven’t had my gas station burrito and Red Bull yet.

Wonder if McDonalds will serve the lab-grown chicken? Eww!

They’re trying to kill us ….slowly…

You deserve a break today, so throw up and crawl away…from McDonald’s.

They must be coming from the west, in the 1960s.

The other one is not just the West. It’s worldwide.

MacDonald’s in Santa Barbara is one of several where the ridiculously large arch was not allowed.

On my first trip to Paris, the very first thing I saw getting off the Paris Métro from the airport … a McDonalds …!

( sacre bleu! )

Missouri loves company.

Like the City on the Edge of Forever (ST)

One arch is cool and historic. 2 arches is artery clogging and gross…

I’m opposed to arches. You might say I’m their archenemy.

Missouri is my home state, so I’m proud of our arch. I live on the other side of the state, though. I’ve only seen the arch once. Is that the way it always is. It’s like living in South Dakota and never seeing Mount Rushmore.

I love those golden arches. I hope they bring back the egg nog shake this year.
