Oddity Junction

Here's some odd things that have annoyed me enough to generate this pointless rant.

So, I like McDonald's Cheeseburgers. Just the simple, single cheeseburger, cause there ain't as much of that naggy tasing meat to chew through. It's nice and quick and simple. Used to be cheap too. You used to be able to get a Cheeseburger for under a Dollar. Nowadays, they cost a dollar, which is the same price as the Double Cheeseburger on the Dollar Menu. Which means that every time I walk up to the counter and try to order a single cheese, the cashier is always like, the Double Cheese is only a dollar also. So I stand there looking like a chump for wanting what I want when what I should want is more cause that what all Americans always want is more even if all I want is a simple single cheese cause it used to cheap you assholes. Huh. That's a hell of a runon.

In related pointless news, the Casey's gas station in Clay City may be opening soon. That means that Clay City, pop 950 people, will soon have two gas stations operating side by side. I wonder which will go out of business first, the fancy chain gas station or the cruddy one that's been there since the dawn of time and all of the gas is watered down. Hm. I wonder. I mostly wonder whether Casey's will hire most of the people that end up out of work when Knapps closes.

Thing is Knapps is now either entirely owned by Jim Neiburgge or at least that's where they get their gas. He's a fucker in Effingham that owns 4 of the stations in that town, but when the Clark station tries to undersell him by 1 penny per gallon, he cries unfair non-competitive practices, because the guy that owns the two Clark stations lives in fucking Oklahoma and owns 9 stations in that state. I hate Neiburrge with a passion. Besides the 4 fueling stations, he owns major stock in a refinery as well as his own fuel hauling/delivery company (that's where he got his start).

It's just a small scale mirror of what the megacorporations of the U.S. are doing right now, and I hate that shit, too. I mean, come on, SBC is buying AT&T? SBC used to be a small part of AT&T if I remember right. fuckers.
