I got home from practice last night at a little after 11:30pm to find a plan in place to venture to Ypsilanti at midnight for Round 2 of McD's Monopoly. I said to myself, "What the heck, I'm only young once," and off we went. What could possibly go wrong?
"So, I need to get gas; I'm on 'E'."
That's not what I wanted to hear come out of McCappo's mouth when we first got into the team bus. I mean, I just wanted to get to McDonald's as soon as possible and we were already looking at increased travel time due to it being our first road game of the season. But then again, we get some gas, get some monopoly pieces, get home, and we all get our jollies - nothing wrong with that arrangement.
But nooo, McCappo insisted on driving past 4, count 'em 4 gas stations in hopes of saving $0.02/gallon by driving into the heart of Ypsi (as if Ypsi had a heart). As luck would have it, once we got to the gas stations McCappo was seeking, we find that THEY'RE ALL CLOSED!!! With the arrow sliding just below "E," I just know its just a matter of time before we're stranded. Coming so painfully close to making some hefty promises to a certain someone from above, we turned around, got the hell outta dodg- I mean, Ypsilanti, and made our way back towards our original McDestination.
We still didn't have any gas, but we were no longer in a super-sketchy area, so my worries had all but dissipated. The Frytastic Four each ordered 3 of our patented medium waters and McHoff, McCappo, and I complimented our H2O with a Large Fry.
What's wrong with this one?
Fans: "Why didn't Kyle get a Large Fry?"
Because he wanted a turn being the bitch.
Anyway, what happened next was this: McCappo drove past the pay window because he is impatient, the guy at the second window was slightly peeved because he had to take our money when that isn't his job and he'd "been [at McDonald's] way too long," we got berated for ordering "all these damn water," all before we finally got gas.
We got home and really started peeling away. I narrowly avoided a paper cut to peel my first real win of the season, with a medium fry. Are McGomez's fortunes finally turning around? Only time will tell, but I have a good feeling this season. I am more than ready to shake my "scrub" status and impress the scouts and my teammates.
Ba Da Ba Ba Baaa...

in the hampton roads region of virginia, i cant get medium waters. they give me the sweet tea cup instead which has no pieces on it. that being said, the breakfast menu is the way to play down here. 2 hashbrowns at $1.29 with two peels per hashbrown equates to about 32 cents per peel, which i can live with. i went two for six this morning and since its my first play, im batting .333 for the season.
ReplyDeleteNice Playing McDavy! Although I think you need to try to be more persistent in specifically asking for the "medium waters". Try it again, and if they give you any guff give us a jingle. We can sort it out for you.
