Ruby Tuesday -- Looks good enough to eat but ...
it almost isn't!
i.e. another MacDonalds Snafu
(link to other MacD's Sanfu's)
.
Mine didn't look like this at all. This Snack Wrap Mac certainly was not worth the money ($1.49). The one served to me had nothing showing out of the top.
There were two small pieces of hamburger down in there, almost no lettuce, and whatever cheese they did put in there had all melted down into one bite.
I didn't have my camera (wonder of all wonders) or I would have taken a picture of what I got for $1.49. It was absolutely not worth getting.
I would advise you to get the MacDouble for 99¢ instead. That is a much better value, you get quite a meal for that 99¢
Notice the tag below, SCAM. I would call the sale of this thing advertised to be good as a good old fashioned SCAM.

Mary is in charge there, you can post your own if you wish.

Who is this man? (Quiz)
Hint: No one I found in Colorado. He was found by the cops in NYC, last name Morse. A long time ago.
What Felisol said:
"Dear Mr. Jim,
Yeah, found the Octoberbug with picture and all.
A NOTED FIREBUG CAUGHT; DAVID J. MORSE FINALLY AR- RESTED IN THIS CITY. Last of a Little Gang That Defrauded Fire Insurance Companies -- Their Method Was to Start Millinery Shops or Dry Goods Stores in Western Cities, and Then Came the Fires -- Two Now in Prison and One Dead.
October 4, 1896, Wednesday" (New York Times [link]--The PDF complete story link)
Ok guys, keep guessing, the game's over.
The following answers given so far, ARE WERE INCORRECT:
No it isn't Samuel Morse.
Yes, I know the Morse Code, I don't copy the faster speeds I used to, so go slow until I get up to your speed.
No, it isn't the 'seed guy.'
No, it isn't actor Herbert Morse.
No, it isn't Salmi Morse.
No, it isn't big crook K.W. Morse.
Yes, I will tell the answer later but keep guessing.

Houston Chronicle -- They pulled a big rip-off this week!
.
My comics are gone! Ten of the ones I have read every day for the last several years.
The Houston Chronicle is having a big belt tightening in its finances. Besides reducing the comics from four pages to two, they have laid off five percent (5%) of their employees. Bad news all around.
This isn't the first time. The worst sin the Houston Chronicle committed was to remove Mrs. Jim's favorite, Kudzu. I'm not sure, but around a year ago, they even removed Kudzu from their Web site (Comics). So I don't trust our Houston Chronicle too much about promises over about comic strips.
Now they say we can still read our favorites on the Web. How long do you think that would take every day? For one dollar ($1.00) a month some sites will e-mail us our favorite comics every day. But they don't have all these nine. Nevertheless I could save about $180 less $12 a year by cancelling the Chronicle and get most of the ones I read via e-mail.
There might even be a Google or Yahoo page that will let me read them all. Right now my Yahoo has three previously cancelled Chronicle comics, In the Bleachers, The Quigmans, and Speed Bump. These are all keepers so I need another place.
On the following: The Chronicle link will have today's (November 14, 2007) comics. None of the King Feature pages will have current comics. The others do except for Denis the Menis.

Even though it's slow pulling them up one by one, the Chronicle on-line now does have the ones I read including those before THE BIG CUT. (link) or (http://www.chron.com/apps/comics/showComics.mpl)
.
So what would you do? Perhaps you can find a place I get most of my favorites all on one page?
