After managing to come out with installments of Fast Food Fairy Tale every Thursday for the past 23 weeks, I have been forced, due to the ever-increasing demands from both of my jobs (Can you believe they expect me to work the whole shift?), to take this week off. I hope that I may be … Continue reading Fast Food Fairy Tale- Hiatus
“I…was just being polite,” I replied, a little stunned at this turn of the conversation. “Oh, I know,” she said with a small smile. “I know you meant well, and don’t worry, I’m not offended.” She chuckled. “You see, where I used to live, almost no one does it. I keep forgetting that it’s still done in other parts of the country.” Quirky. “All right,” I said, not quite sure of what to do next, “would…you like to open the door?” She laughed again. “Okay, now you’re just being patronizing.” “Ah. So…how do we get inside the restaurant without offending anybody?” “You’re funny.”
Pierce: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Since when are we accepting family members? W.H. Harrison: Since Ben is the 23rd President. Besides, we never get to do anything together. Pierce: Then take him fishing. He’s not joining.
Harrison: You should have known better! You can’t trust that man around money. Fillmore: Look, I knew he was a bit shady, but I didn’t think he’d walk off with the entire till! Hayes: He took all of the money? Fillmore: All he left was a note saying that he had an emergency poker game to attend.

“I cannot tell whether you are a liar or a madman,” I growl, “but I will humor you just this once. Tell me, how would you help this kingdom?” He answers me with a straight-face: “Make me your king.”
Hayes: (To Pierce) I don’t know what you’re complaining about anyway. Personally, I’d rather be here than be in the League of Forgotten Vice-Presidents. I hear that’s a sorry group… Fillmore: Hey! I’m in that League! Hayes: (Gesturing to Fillmore) See what I mean?
Pierce: I shouldn’t be here! Tyler: You’re an unknown President. Pierce: Not true…I am known as the handsomest President ever! Tyler: Who told you that? Hayes: His mother, probably.
“How can I be a hero?” Wendy whimpered. “Heroes don’t get scared!” “Course they get scared! Do ya know what makes a person a hero?” “No,” Wendy sniffled. “A hero is someone who looks their fear right in the face, and spits!”
