Sounds like a good opportunity for McDonalds.

I'd try a promotion along the lines of:

"If you're already within 600 feet of a McDonalds why not just stop in for a free coke and fries with any Quarter Pounder with cheese? You're already almost here, and our fresh beef made to order beats Burger King's frozen patties no matter how far away you are!"

LMAO, way to turn your rival's sneaky trick against them instead! I also thought of McDonald's doing something like that in the back of my mind. ;)

Burger King has really pulled out the big guns today

The true genius of this is the publicity that they have achieved for their App. They managed to get this promo mentioned on national mainstream news and on the websites of mainstream news outlets. That's before all the free mentions on social media and forums like this.
It's a marketing masterstroke. For the price of a few burgers they bought the sort of publicity that would have cost them millions in advertising spend.

So, just visited The Florida Lottery website and Mega Millions is a whopping 226 million. Powerball is a whopping 200 million. Florida Lotto is....A puny 2 million. It got me to thinking of odds as there was a website that pointed out that you have a better chance of winning The Florida Lotto rather than a multi state Lottery game since the Florida Lotto is just for the state of Florida whereas MM and PB are played in like 35 different states. And of course, more people are playing MM and PB so it's more difficult to win when say 150 million people are playing the same game rather than just say 1 million in Florida. And besides, let's say 15 people got the same exact winning numbers for both PB and MM. PB winning numbers. 1-11-34-40-45, ball 18. MM winning numbers. 6,22,25,31,32, ball 7, just a couple of examples, ;) 15 people have to SPLIT 426 million before taxes! Yikes! If I did my calculations correctly, that's a little over 28 million for each person before taxes, so roughly 9 million goes to taxes. So each person gets about 19 million in cash. Whereas the Florida Lottery although only a puny 2 million(Puny compared to MM and PB) there most likely only going to be one winner so that lucky one Floridian gets 2 million before taxes so he pays roughly $600,000 for taxes but gets the $1.4 million in cash all for himself. You may think, "What idiot would rather have 1.4 million over 19 million?" But it's human nature to want a small pizza all to yourself rather than have to share one large pizza with 14 other people so to speak. ;) So the Florida Lotto with its puny 2 million is the better game out of the bigger Jackpot games, MM and PB. ;)

How can you get a Whopper at McDonald's for a penny? This doesn't make much sense unless McDonald's gets the sale in Burger King gets bad name. Does Burger King have a truckload of Whoppers there?

I had some close contacts as a newspaper and the newspaper isn't stupid, they don't give you free press unless you're an Advertiser. I'm sure the media is the same they're not dumb. you don't hear about a story unless there's something really really interesting about it.

I don't agree because some people may just stay at McDonald's and never bother going to get a penny Whopper that might have already cost them 10-15 miles of driving and ten minutes. I'd be tempted to just stay at McDonald'ss myself if I was hungry or had already wasted too much unanticipated time.

You need to take another selfie pic from the bus. I swear that pic purported to be you Nathan was of a black man pretending to be a woman on a bus. I swear I remembered seeing some facial hair stubble. Doesn't make much sense for you to say you have manly features, and that you look like your dad, in comparison to the Youtube video. I still doubt that is you in the Youtube video a little. When the Youtube video went up, the pic was down.

BK once again succeeds at viral marketing.

Quite savvy, these guys, unlike the stuffed shirts at Mickey D's.

Still, my favorite BK viral marketing campaign involved the Subservient Chicken.

I loved to boss him around and make him do my bidding.

I got weird text messages from Brace Doctor asking me to make an appointment. :/ I responded,"I have no idea who Brace Doctor is and I'd appreciate it if you would stop messaging my phone." The response was,"You told Brace Doctor that you needed a pain relieving brace." I responded,"That wasn't me. Someone must have given out my phone number somewhere without my permission." They stopped messaging me. Finally. I did Google research on Brace Doctor and there were multiple links claiming that Brace Doctor is running a scam contacting random people to scam them into buying braces they never even asked for! WTF!

Not scammed per se but I have been the victim of identity theft. Someone claimed to be me and stole $1,000 from me. I reported the double theft and got reimbursed six months later.

In a lighter note, I have a new website. The other website was unfortunately hijacked with nasty messages and inadvertent trash talking about WOV. This new website is NOT a Hangout like the other one is. My brand new website has a specific purpose. ;)

Babs lives in Florida.

Maybe it could be arranged for the two of you to meet up in Miami or thereabouts to forever end the speculation as to who/what you are.

Many don't much care for Babs' moderation style, but few would accuse her of being unobservant and untruthful.

Meet up and let her report to the group.

As an incentive, perhaps forum members will chip in some bucks so you can buy some more lottery tickets?

No, you're incorrect. I don't live in PSL. I crewed a sailboat thru the canal there once. I've driven past many times. That's it.

I'm reluctant to spend the money going down there to meet you after you ditched WoN. I don't think you'd show up for me either.

I'm reluctant to spend the money going down there to meet you after you ditched WoN. I don't think you'd show up for me either.



I didn't ditch WON. I showed up and only left after WON made it clear that he already left.

Maybe Nathan and WON are one in the same or at least a team.

WON and I are NOT the same person. There was a small running joke earlier in Nathan's Corner where people were like,"I'll bet WON and Nathan are the same person. " Uh, WON is a white male in his 40's and I am a black female in my 30's. We are definitely not the same person!

Hmmmm. But has anyone ever seen you both in the same room at the same time? :o)

Technically we were in the same room once but I decided to pull a stupid stunt that backfired big time on me.

Were you having a panic attack in the casino that day?

If so, it might help to explain why you didn't approach him.

That or it was a giant troll job... DUH!

Nathan likes to do anything that gives her attention. She brings up WON for attention and she brings up “her big mistake” for attention. Honestly all her posts are just a cry for attention, no actual content is posted by Nathan it is all “I remember a time when I” or I remember a story that has absolutely nothing to with the topic at hand”. She hijacks threads, posts nonsense and thinks her corner is a gift when it was a punishment akin to putting her in the timeout corner and like a child in timeout she sneaks out every so often to post nonsense in another thread only to be told by a mod (justly) to go back to her (timeout) corner.

Maybe I’m grumpy cause my GF is driving me nuts but I felt this needed to be said.

Is this a GF that lasts months without you when you are on the road? Or one that will last until you go back on the road?

Sounds like someone is more than a tad jealous.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

No I find it annoying that she dumps garbage on this website, trolls the site, has never posted anything of value and somehow hasn’t been perma banned.

Oh and btw her garbage website that she posted the link to here is a guaranteed attention grab. She just happens to forget to delete the month old post from Kentry... ya ok. You might be that naive but I’m not.

Ah! but that's not the Kentry that we know and love. That was her buddy (Guess who ) who'd received his own early personal invitation to the forum. For some reason Nathan decided not to mention that when I posed a few questions.
Oh well. She's not answerable here for what gets posted there. Her empire, her rules.

That's cool, Babs! Did you make it all the way to (or from) the Gulf?

When I was little, we would occasionally go fishing in Lake Okeechobee, but it's been a long time since I've been through those locks!

Oh, yeah, we did the whole thing. It's kind of a family story. I'll try and do it justice. But it will take a while to write up. It could be a comedy movie.

Let the record show that I received another Amazon gift code from Nathan, which should settle her promise to contribute $100 to the 2019 WoV Spring Fling.
