A little late, don't you think Roop?
uh..he's been dead for quite awhile....
oh well, he was fat.
not that i dislike fat people, but i dislike that particular fat person. even though he's dead. heh, i bet the maggots are chowing down on his clogged arteries as we 'speak'.

Surfacing 02-02-2002 04:15 AM

who's this guy??????

Sl'askia 02-02-2002 11:09 AM

Dude! That is like...the founder of Wendys! I didn't know he died!

Teal 02-02-2002 11:58 AM

And... am I just being stupid, but... Wendy's is...?

Sl'askia 02-02-2002 12:36 PM

Meep...sorry to all non-Americans...Wendys is a fast food chain, dealing with mainly burgers and such. *licks jawS* they make excellent frosties...(chocolate milkshake)

Al the Vykker 02-02-2002 01:06 PM

Dave Thomas was cool, I go to the the fast food restaurants down by the Sears Tower.
Oh well, I love Wendy's burgers. :( :)

Here in Australia we have a Wendy's chain. I'm not sure if it's the same one, but this restaurant sells mainly milkshakes, icecreams and hotdogs. Their food is pretty high quality, I enjoy their milkshakes.

Your not funny.
Besides, he died of liver cancer. I was so upset when my parents told me that he hit rock bottom. He was cool. I will never eat Wendy's again like I use to. And his night light would make me cry.

I know I'm late he died like a month ago I just havent been online in a while.

MudokonOddball 02-02-2002 02:36 PM

I live near Columbus Ohio, where the first Wendy's restaraunt ever was built. Not too soon after Dave died, they turned the restaraunt/museum into a Wendy's/Tim Horton's combo. How demeaning. Donuts and coffee don't go too well with a quater-pounder with cheese.

May Dave Thomas Rest in Peace.

It was'nt funny on how you called him fat. You say making fun of people who have a mental disability bad, what about people who are obest? It's like your contradicting yourself. He was rude one time? Your rude now!

Gluk Schmuck 02-02-2002 06:12 PM

My commendments go out to you, Disgruntled, you have surpassed yourself with this fine humour!

what do you mean non-americian? i'm none americian and when dave died it was on the news for a week. it's a shame really he was only in his 70's (for some reason i find that young) oh well everyone has to go sometime

i've never actully been to wendys but i sure wouldn't mind trying it out sometime.

Disgruntled Intern 02-02-2002 09:20 PM

ah, thanks GS.
i don't usually mock the dead, but Dave is different....and pinky, if your getting THIS worked up over Dave Thomas dieing, i sudder at the thought of what you would do if the Chihuahua from those taco bell ads was hit by a truck..oh wait, it's already dead i think.
sorry.

Surfacing 02-02-2002 10:54 PM

Rettick what r u trying to start.?

Disgruntled Intern 02-03-2002 12:25 AM

I don't think Dan is TRYING to start anything surfacing....

Melvin:squeeking paramite 02-03-2002 02:01 AM

Well, I can't really weep for Dave Thomas, because I didn't know him and he never had any kind of influence on my life... I have to say though, wendy's has damn better food than *shudders* Mcdonalds... yes, Disgruntled's morbid jokes emitted a few giggles out of me...

Lol, Surfacing, Dan obviously isn't trying to start any thing... he can't start any thing that's already started...

Well if u put it that way i guess he ain't, oh well.

Disgruntled Intern 02-03-2002 03:00 AM

Melvin, WTF?!?
okay look, Mcdonalds might suck, but atleast their meat isn't SQUARE!
gahhhh!
like the funniest thing i saw in a mcdonalds was a list of why they are the 'superior' fast food chain...#48- 'Because our meat is round, not square." it just made me laugh hysterically. yes. lauuufdkjgsrgkg

Surfacing 02-03-2002 03:06 AM

What's the difference square or round it all taste the same to me.

Capri Ream 02-03-2002 04:13 AM

It's always sad when someone dies, but I really didn't know the guy, so you can't completly he was a nice guy. But I guess if you go by the commercials, I guess he was a nice guy.

Danny 02-03-2002 11:38 AM

I wasn't attempting to start anything, I was attempting to stop the argument that was going on by pointing out to Pinky that Disgruntled never said anything against fat people... It seemed to work, actually... :D

I am proud to have only been into Macdonalds 4 times in the whole of my 16 years of life. On two of those occasions I was only a little kid, and on another one I was drunk, so really only one occasion counts...

Of course, being a vegetarian, I'm not keen on fast-food joints in general...

Still at least Burger King do some delicious Spicy Beanburgers... And they're English, which can only be a good thing... :D

Um yeah he did and I don't think you were reading carefully, as usual.

But I'm just saying, he has family members who were close to him. I don't think they would appreciate you calling him fat and stuff. How would you feel, if your grandpa was a wendy's guy and he died and someone made fun of him? Show some respect for the family because they are experiencing the lose, not you.
