So, for some reason, Tyler saw fit to allow me the ability to post on his blog…a decision he will soon come to regret, I am sure (Yes, Tyler, that was a threat…you shall rue the day you allowed me to post!!!). Until he cuts me off and asks the jury to ignore all comments made by me, I will attempt to rock your world with all the exciting things happening in my world. I should note, however, that for the purposes of my posts, exciting will be defined as, “utterly without excitement, boring, worthless.” So, be prepared. I’ll try to get a decent bio post on here sometime soon so that those of you who don’t know me can wish you did, or be glad you didn’t, whichever tickles your fancy.
On to more pressing matters — I am currently the proud driver of a 2003 Hummer H2. It is not, however, just any Hummer H2. It is a Hummer H2 with a huge freakin’ McAlister’s Sweet Tea glass on one side, and a huge freakin’ McAlister’s Club on the other side. Here’s a picture if it helps you visualize the stunning gaudiness that is “The Beast” (my nickname for the sucker).
Whatever you want to say about it, this monster is a lot of fun. I mean, who doesn’t need something that gets 11 mpg in these days of skyrocketing gas prices? Good thing my company is paying for the gasoline. It’s easy advertising, a huge marketing gimmick, and a bit o’ fun for the restaurant all wrapped into one. If you’re in Waco, or would like to be (shudder), you can meet this sucker in person at the first Baylor home football game on September 10th. Otherwise, just smile, laugh, and think “Oh, that Zoocat…he’s an odd duck,” and go about your day.

Brad’s first post deserves a comment.
Yeah, I’m insane. Both that I’m letting someone else post on a site that is eponymous and that he’s driving a Hummer around Waco - and I’m not there to bask in his glory.
It is too bad that he’s not in school anymore. That’d look sweet parked outside Tidwell or something.
[Quote]holy cow. you’re gonna kill someone. i swear. so is that brad’s only means of transportation now? and how long is that beast his? i’ve always hated h2’s but if i were given one … heck yeah i’d rock it. cause that how i roll…
[Quote]I’ve had it for about a week, and I’ve got to give it up tonight to share with another store for a bit, but I should have it back in time for the first home Baylor game. Not my only mode of transport at the moment, though. I’ve still got my car. I never thought that I’d be able to walk out to my driveway at this age and think, “Hmmm…should I take the Beemer or the Hummer to work today?”
Too bad it’s only temporary, eh?
[Quote]And you got there by working in the fast-food industry.
When you lend it to the other store, you should park it on top of something. Like their car. Or house. I would love to a pic of that thing on top of a house.
[Quote]A pox upon the house of Willis. If ever you call my place of business “fast food” again, I will mercilessly rend you limb from limb, collect every drop of blood, use it to boil your remains, and savagely tear the meat off the bones with my teeth.
On a somewhat related note, “quick casual” is a term for a segment of the restaurant industry that occupies space between fast food and casual service. It is more upscale and than “fast food”, but less so on both counts than the average casual diner. It is marked by detailed design, and innovative food prepared to order, with average ticket prices between $6 to $9 per guest.
[Quote]Yay, threats! To someone who has the power to immediately erase this entire post.
Ye gods, man. You’ve gone politically correct.
I shall never refer to McAllisters as either “fast” nor “food” from now on. Happy?
Are you sure there’s enough blood to actually boil my remains? I am pretty big afterall. Might be an interesting factoid to run down.
