"Your trees. They are not like the trees of we Earth people."

I get uneasy around palm trees for some reason. They look fake. They look like someone is trying too hard to say 'this is a warm, relaxing, sunny place', even when they are growing in warm, relaxing, sunny places. I know they belong somewhere, but somehow they just. . . always look kind of fake. It's unnerving.

So is the California habit of putting mayonnaise on hamburgers! Ecch! Bleck! Ptooie!

And no, before you ask, I don't eat Big Macs. ANYWHERE. Mayo, whether in its native form or the form of Special Sauce or anything else, does not belong on hamburgers.

eeesh.

You think you have issues with the mayo on everything?

One day I shall die messy. And then somebody's gonna be sorry.

True, you have more grounds to ph34r than me. All I can really say is that the only mayonnaise I have willingly and deliberately consumed, ever, has been mayo I have made myself from eggs and oil and vinegar and the other interesting bits.

It's nasty, vile stuff, and how they take the same basic ingredients and come up with bleu cheese salad dressing instead is beyond me. But mayo=BAD ECK YECH PTUIE.

Oh, and because I forgot to post it... the thing I called you about earlier?

It was a 1967 book called The Adventures of James Bond Junior 003.5, by a pseudonymically attributed "R. D. Mascott". And yes, Junior was 007's nephew, which leads right back to 'either 007's parents named ALL their sons James, or his sister married a man who just happened to be named James Bond, or EEEEW SQUICK'. Me, I'm sticking to my theory that the 00 series of agents is decanted from vats and that Bond Jr. was in fact accidentally tipped out far too early in his development.

Heh. I happen to like Mayo on my burgers. Along with ground peper, bacon, tomato, and lettuce.

Dude, when did that happen? I haven't been away from socal for THAT long.

If you haven't already, go try a protein burger at In'n'Out. They're enough to convert anyone to a burger lover.

Carl's Jr. had mayo all over the damn burger- something like special sauce on top and mayo all over the bottom and just eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. It was the nearest burger joint within walking distance.

next time I just get a skanky burrito, I think.

Carl's Jr?

Well that explains it. Sweetie.. stay away from Carl's Char-broiled yuckiness if you can at all avoid it. In-N-Out is SOOO worth the trip to the nearest one. I highly suggest a Double Double, Animal style. No mayo in your case (though I actually LIKE mayo on my burgers. Mayo/ketchup/raw onions.... leave the rest of the veggies in the salad bar, thanks...)

And if you're looking for a cheap, skanky burrito, might I suggest the following meal from Taco Bell? Bean and cheese burrito, no onions, a side order of Nachos with an extra cup of nacho cheese and a 32oz. Mountain Dew (or drink of your choice). Should total to about $3.50... Man, I really am a cheap date... *grins*

Trust me, I agree on the California obsession with Mayo on burgers. Oh - and lemon in diet coke. Then there's that other thing they like to put on burgers, and offer as toppings for things out here. Guacamole. Food just shouldn't be that color.

Try Jack in the Box - better burgers than Carls Jr, by far. Now if you want the Holy Grail of hamburgers, find yourself an In and Out, http://www.inandout.com. :) There's bound to be one near where you are down there. I hope.

B-but I like mayonnaise on my burger....*sniff*

I also like it on hot dogs. *ducks*

I wouldn't know about the palm trees - I know they wig everyone out, but I was born and raised out near Palm Springs and climbed them (and scared the crap out of my mother) as a child. Trust me - they're not plastic, they are alive and some of them even grow something tasty, like dates.

Yah. Definitely In-n-Out.

And it's not just a good, cheap, high-quality burger joint—it's an adventure!

Check the wrappers carefully for Biblical citations!

Order from the "secret" menu!

Ponder: why do they all look EXACTLY THE SAME? Theory: There's actually only one of them. At all. There's a muckin' HUGE database keeping track of whether you walked in from Gilroy, Davis, or Tracy, to make sure you walk OUT the same way and coordinate the window displays. Kinda like the Floo Network, but more sinister and far easier to incorpoate into a White Wolf Mage game. After all, they're open quite late and have cheap eats: the Virtual Adepts obviously sewed this up long ago. InO should count as however one reckons a Safe Haven, too.
