Is there any info on the location of that McD's? I should look it up, run over there and help out. Maybe walk in and start to order and then cancel or something. Feeling frisky.

(on edit) I mean help out the strikers of course. I ain't gonna help the corporate octupus flip burgers. I'm vegetarian anyway.

Sounds like a plan. Tomorrow is pretty packed up but I'm going to try and make it. If I do, there will be pics.
