The Price Of A Big Mac Is Now $17.19 In Zurich
Submitted by Simon Black of Sovereign Man
The price of a Big Mac is now $17.19 in Zurich
Just a quick thought on a ridiculously volatile day:
One of the things that people pick up on very quickly as they travel are how different price levels are around the world. I've been to roughly 100 countries, and I still find it amazing how much variance there is among things like food, property, and entertainment prices.
There are certain places-- Cambodia, Ecuador, Tanzania-- that are so jaw-droppingly cheap that it almost seems unreal. And you wonder how these people could possibly ever survive if they came to your country.
Well, the United States has just joined this proud cadre banana republics... at least if you're from Switzerland.
You see, the Swiss franc is one of the few currencies that have given investors some sense of comfort recently; Switzerland inspires confidence and stability, and the worse things get in the United States and Europe, the more investors pull their money out of the dollar and euro, and park it in the Swiss franc.
It's all about supply and demand. Increased demand for the Swiss franc coupled with expanded supply of dollars and euros has caused the franc to surge over the last weeks and months. It wasn't too long ago that it would take 1.20 francs to buy a US dollar. Now it takes $1.40 to buy a single franc.
I can think of a lot of words to describe the performance of the US dollar. Farce. Joke. Lunacy. Embarrassment. Disgusting. But it's more clearly summed up like this: the price of a Big Mac is in Zurich is now so high (at $17.19) that a minimum wage employee in Minneapolis, Minnesota, would have to work for nearly 4-hours in order to afford it.
This is what stability looks like to Ben Bernanke.

glad my offical currency is silver, just like the rest of the world I rejected FRN
Seven 90% Silver dimes will buy that Big Mac with a few copper pennies back.
" It wasn't too long ago that it would take 1.20 francs to buy a US dollar. Now it takes $1.40 to buy a single franc."
An ounce of silver will buy you 25 francs or so. How many could it buy in 2008? Something tells me you are on the money Long John.
Today's 90% Silver dime melt value in US Dollars is $2.71.
a very interesting point I had read:
one 90% us quarter value right now is $6.90, 8 quarters fill up the gas tank today ($55.20) just like it would back in the 60's (8 quarters)
http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1932-1964-Silver-Washington-Quarter-Value.html
Just think how many Big Macs an ounce of gold can buy, bitchez. You can fill your tank, eat your McDonald's, have a night with a hooker, get your car detailed, have a day at an amusement park, spend another night with a hooker, buy a good bottle of Scotch and still have enough money for some Taco Bell.
LOL and that is in the Western world, imagine what it would get you in China, Thailand, Vietnam etc...
It would probably get you arrested.
Man, one of my fav meals used to be a Big Mac, a Quarter Pounder, Fries, and a Coke. I'm older now and really try to take care of my health, it would probably make me sick.
Own your vices, or they own you.
We'll soon be buying 'Small Mac's'...
Isn't that what White Castle serves?
Anyway, I don't consume junk food. Shit's bad for you, for realz. You get off of that crap and after a long enough time, it'll make you sick if you ever [on a rare occasion] try to eat that stuff.
Three months. Three months and I can't even step inside a McDonald's anymore. The smell alone is nauseating.
This article is ridiculous.
http://www.oanda.com/currency/big-mac-index
Thanks for the link, Now I know that the author is stupid enough to pay $17 for a Big Mac instead of the $8 he should have paid. Wonder if I can sell him this big bridge in Brooklyn that I own??
@WestVillageI - Why would you want to do any of those things? Sounds like a day in hell.
This is misleading. The price of a Big Mac in CHF is 6.50, so at current exchange rates, thats USD 8.95. See below:
http://www.mcdonalds.ch/de/menuekarte/burgers-wraps/big-macr
Fine, the point is well taken that the USD is rubbish, but getting facts straight would improve credibility.
The sad thing about Switzerland is that even with a favorable exchange rate, their crap is still expensive-even to the rest of the Europeans. Many Swiss go across the border to do their daily shopping. But I still think it would be a great place to live some day.
CHF 12.70 is the happy meal.
If you go read the actual post on Sovereign Man he says Big Mac Meal, not just the sandwhich itself.
I can see McDonald's employees working for food instead of US Dollars.
Well can we really say that McDonalds is food? McDonalds...you can eat it?
Was going to say the same thing...
wht would you do if you were working there? accept the toilet paper dollars? the dod shit food? or would you just be better growing a few carrots and living off berries, nuts and road kill??
This is the trickle down economics turning into full blown golden shower economics.
Make mine a royal with cheese, bitches!
I love ZH and I know we are all cynical here but damn if I still don't love eating a Big Mac on occasion. I even like the McRib. i know, I know but we all have our vices. At least I'm only hurting myself. Oh yeah, and the shamrock shakes always make me think of the good times in my childhood. I'm guilty.
If you eat two or so every month I don't think you're hurting yourself.
The cosmic rays bouncing off your mitochondiral dna probably are more of a risk than a few big macs every year. Hell just driving to work is probably a lot riskier.
I wonder, can the same be said of this:
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/02/08/report-china-fake-rice-plastic/
I'll need to Super Size the fries...
I don't eat there every day, or even once a week. But doggoneit, i still love a quarter pounder with cheese, or a Bigmac, and the fries are absolutely the best there are, bar none. And why does the Coca-Cola from Mickie D's always taste better than what comes out of the bottle? They get some proprietary mix or something?
I usually eat home-cooked, but now and then Mickie D's hits the spot. Just gald I don't have to work there!
agreed...spliff followed by dble qpwc and nugs...mmmmm...
Hey cbxer55,
Yes they have a propietary formula for Coca-Cola on Mickey-D's.
If you want to have your bottled Coke taste just like it does on Mickey D's, ask someone to pee in your bottle.
And don't forget to have someone spit on your home made burgers so they are as tasty as the original Mickey D's.
You know the syrup and the carbonated water come in pressurized containers that are hooked to the dispenser? I'd sure like to see how someone can SPIKE a pressurized container!
I'm sure the spit thing happens now and then. But I do not for a second believe it is a regular occurence. I would hope mamagement would be quick to fire anyone even suspected of doing such nonsense.
Otherwise, the thought of someone spitting on my burger does not scare me in the least. If I knew it was there, maybe. But since no one would ever no its there, who gives a fuck? Not me. Also I suspect that if something had a "little wang in it" (compliments of the Hollywood Knights), it would be noticable. So I'll not be dissuaded by that line either.
You don't want to eat McDonalds, fine by me. I like them every so often. As I said, its not a regular habit, just now and then, maybe once a month. It aint gonna kill me. I exercise every day, am 6'2" and 175 pounds, have perfect blood pressure and pulse at 50 years old. How fit are you?????
That's how I feel. As long as they make Filet O Fish's, I'll be by every week, or so.
It used to be S.O.P. to eat 3 of those on every Friday in Lent when they were running their specials. Don't skimp on the tartar sauce, fuckers.
My wife is Catholic. We change up between catfish, talapia, and fish filets.
She's old school.
let the fools have their tar-tar sauce.
CM Burns
lol...tar-tar sauce...
Same, same. Around every month or so. What pisses me off is self important nannys saying what I can or cannot eat.
Or that I shouldn't eat X because of their health insurance premium...bogus fucktards, they could care less who lives or dies as long as they don't have to pay more. They should confine themselves to eating grass & tofu and not have health insurance payments at all...lol.
I've come to the conclusion there is an element in society with no life of their own and their only real desire is to insert themselves into mine.
That's how I judge the quality of life in America.
Everyone seems to have so few problems and so much free time, they just need to worry about how everyone else leads their life.
Back in 76, my parents moved from N.J. to CA. One of the reasons they told me was they were sick of the "Nibby-noses" that lived in this state. When we first got to CA., it appeared they were correct, no one gave a dams about us or what we did.
Now, like political correctness, its everywhere, there is no escape.
They erred in moving to a coast. Commie libs congregate near beaches for some reason.
YUP. Stayed in CA for 26 years. I married an Oklahoma girl in 94 and we moved to Midwest City, OK in 2002. First thing I did was get a Concealed Weapon Permit. ;-)
Good plan. I escaped Kalifornia for Texas in late 2000.
are they difficult to obtain outside the south? or was it just the county you lived in? i'm a liberal and all, but this is a wild-wild world; and there are just certain circumstances where piece is vital...so long as there are such things as pieces about. and, most of all, there are few more satisfying sensations than squeezing a few off. i like to tick off glass bottles in the back acres -- the exploding shards make for a nice punctuation to the pop.
38 S&W snub...wadcutters, bitchez!
i shot a man in reno/
just to watch him die/
and when i hear that lonesome whistle/
i hang my head and cry,

McDonald's was better for you before the nannies started interfering. They pushed to get rid of the beef-tallow french fries and replaced them with rancid vegetable oil.
Southern fried chicken sandwich is a late-night winner, & Angus mushroom-swiss burger.
Fries are as good as fast food gets.
Shakes too.
Haven't been in a few months, but the night is young.
when will in and out burger ever come down south?
another reason to leave.
An iPad might be more nutritious...
And hurt less when it comes out of your anus. Oh, wait, I was thinking about White Castle.
Big Macs could explain Barney Frank's actions on Rachel Maddow...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaG4A0Bm8c4
He had to shift around to keep his ben wa balls from popping out.
white castle? sounds like some sort of creepy masonic ritual...we do Krystal (see, there are jews in the south -- they own all our burger joints...you know, the hybrid places, the ones that are half burger joint and half drive-thru pawn shop -- okay, okay; perhaps a bit much, but it is a funny image).
BTW, thank you israeli protesters...janus is proud of you. Bibi, you seein what's goin on outside yer window.
MCD new all time highs!!!! Maybe
Nah, they'll probably just pay them in McDonald's cheeseburgers. Going to get actual food to pay their employees seems a bit far-fetched.
Joking aside, though, my fiancee works at the local grocery store, and we've already had that talk at home. When things start to get really ugly, she's going to request pay in food rather than FRNs.
Eat slow....
Special sauce, bitchez
wramblin wreck? tell the gals at st. agnus i said to pretty-up and stop being so serious all the time.
Well...I guess you can always cross the border to Italy, and order to go with a large order of bonds on the side and 50 oz cup filled with Unicredit or Intesa stock certificates....free refills!
Now seriously, the swiss franc is expensive, but where does this Simon guy guet his data from. Last Economist's Big Mac Index, had CHF$6.5 the local price of the Big Mac (although people in Switzerland would not thouch that crappy almost edible artificial semi-food item very often). At the current exchange rate, that is USD$9, which already makes the CHF 150% pricier than the USD. Simon is just over 80% off with his $17 price and still has the balls to add 19 cents to the insult.
There is a McD's across from Hauptbanhoff in Zurich. I can assure you a big mac is not $9.
OK, thanks for color...so how much is it?
Was in Geneva in April... it is indeed a big stretch to say a big mac is $17.19. A big mac combo (or meal i believe as they call it) is indeed CHF14 which would make it about $19.50
A single big mac definitely did not cost CHF12 to come close to the current $17.19 number from the author.
although people in Switzerland would not thouch that crappy almost edible artificial semi-food item very often
I was in Lausanne last year and the McD's there was packed. It was October, not many tourists around.
I heard that even Elvis' dog loves it in AAmerica
ElvisDog: not many tourists, but plenty of british, portuguese, spaniard, greek and irish au pairs.
What a bargain then! Give that franchis-ee a raise to while you're at it. How much for a stay at the Ronald McDonald house I wonder?
My sources in Zurich tell me that Simon Black's info is mistaken.
The medium big mac meal (with fries and a soda) is 12 Francs. That makes $17.19 sound about right (at CHF 1 = 1.4325 USD). That exchange rate is reasonable to use as a comparison for retail ForEx in small amounts.
However, the big mac by itself is only 6.50 Francs. That's still about $9.
That's why i only work two hours and go for the dollar menu.
Arby's and KFC are now out of reach.
They give you enough au jus with the French Dip to cover that mega Cheddar and Beef.
If it wasn't for those crappy curly fries, I'd live there.
i think i just threw up a little.
How do you feel about escargot?
Did you know some of those rich creepy bastards eat fish eggs?
Weird damn people.
i think i just threw up a little.
The only things listed on the dollar menu are one french fry, a half eaten apple pie, or the top half of a sesame seed bun.
They are called freedom fries now.
" We work for FOOD" any 1 remember old American. Back to the Future bitches no more cheating the system, no more 1 person 1 vote we go to 1 $ 1 vote.
European trip in 2002 - One Euro equals 84 cents
Planned trip to Europe in 2011 - One Euro equals 143 cents
Fuck you, Bernanke, and your idea that destroying the dollar will make us rich. Even a little cunt like you can't believe it.
When I was in the US Navy stationed in the Philippines in the early 80's I could exchange $10 USD for Philippine Pesos and go spend like the drunken sailor I was. I would waken the next day and discover I had remaining change from that $10. There was no limit to my spending on women and booze.
"I got shit-faced drunk and a blowjob for seven dollars. He wasn't very good looking but 'hey' it was only seven bucks." =)
I could never figure that out. 25 cents for a San Miguel, and 8$ bar fine for the hooker, and when I checked my funds next day, I found out I'd spend 30$.
Never could remember how I spent it.
was it near Clark? if so, i happen to know you're a dirty old man...no one made it out with any semblance of innocence intact.
I was told a story:
a young lieutenant arrives on base and is greeted by his CO...
CO: you from a good Christian family?
1Lt.:yes, col.
CO: believe in morals and church and all the rest?
1Lt.: yes, col.
CO: you can leave that shit back in the states -- this is Clark...is that clear?
1Lt.: yes, col.
I was told other stories, too; but i'll never retell em'...still trying to purge them from the ole mellon. i wonder what ever happened to that young 1lt.
Peter Schiff's book "How an economy grows and why it crashes" is an excellent allegory of the retardation that has occurred up till now.
i would probably just keep buying my big macs in in minnesota
Like Ben Bernanke has ever cared about a minimum wage employee in Minneapolis, Minnesota! LFMAO!!!
LMFAO!!
For all Bernanke cares they can just go jump in a lake. They have 11,000 of them. Mille Lacs anybody?
three weeks in the Boundry Waters -- tough stuff: lots of portaging, mosquitos as big tar-babys, leeches as long as lamprays, the best tasting walleye any pike ever sampled, bears always stealin your supples, moose abound. i think the main lakes were called ruby and moose. one of the best times of my life.
stopped over in hibbing for a visit to The Shrine.
on the return trip, got laid in a bar in st. paul by one of those girls of finnish ancestry with an impossible to pronounce last name -- what up, anna? (i think it was anna)
have been advised to tour the lacs -- do you pile on to the advisement?
NO JOKE!

Don't they make those out of soy-lent something or other?

Not yet. Obamacare doesn't fully kick-in until 2014 or so.
Re: Soy
That's the regular little hamburgers. I can remember when they had 5 for a $ specials.
Re: Soylent
Parts is parts.
aka "pet food" - except pet food now uses animal "by-products" - diseased organs, tumours, feathers, etc. etc.
y'all enjoy those "burgers" now, with their "special sauce". . .
I've eaten monkey on a stick from a street vendor in Subic Bay.
You prissy folks cannot creep me out.
The Shit River was something to walk over from the camp to town. don't cha know. - Ned
{and well, we had to work kinda' really hard to get the kidz from jumping into the river on bets that the 2nd tour guys made.}
I tossed a few pesos off the bridge. Those kids must have had the immune systems of cockroaches.
Ben Bernanke.
Did you dip the balut in ketchup or eat it neat?
Had to draw the line at baluts. Ewwwww.
I learned to like kimchee and cuttlefish while stationed in Hawaii though.
you should've drawn the line at arby's and au jus that's neither au nor jus.
kimchee, huh?
osan, kunsan?
do you soju?
I sucked the juice out of fish eyes. Same here...
The absolute worst thing ever was a bananna slug. The slime lasts for hours and they're extremely chewy. Kind of like a tire dipped in gear oil and rolled in carmelized shit. Tasty. Once was enough.
(Wiping ketchup from the corner of my mouth)...so, hows your seaweed dear?
lol, nice assumption - 'cause it's Mikki D's or vegan, right?
when I eat a hamburger, I prefer, y'know, beef. And preferably from a cow not fed GMO corn to explode the kill weight in it's last weeks, while standing knee deep in cowshit, face-to-ass with fellow beef-patties to be. . .
and I'd never buy fast food prepared by teen boys with cellphone cameras they text pics to their friends on. . . you've seen the pics?
"cause it's Mikki D's or vegan, right?"
Well, ya gotta admit, thats usually the case. I stand corrected on you Cat.
We do a lot of hunting, fishing & farming around here. There's a guy I work with thats into hunting & cooking...big time. Its getting close to that time of year where he cleans out his freezer for the coming season...always puts on a couple big spreads before Thanksgiving.
Gator tail, venison, hog, turkey, scallops, grouper...whatever he's got left. The ladies bring in their own canned goods they've put up from this growing season or last and some potato salad.
All Southern style ;-)
oh snap! I have a friend who's simliar - though perhaps not as exotic in the meats - he's fond of his smoker, loves to hit the coast early & comes back with clams, mussels, etc. to smoke - fishing from the pier for tuna is popular too, "cans" up nicely - venison & emu & lamb in the freezer, salmon being sold "roadside" lately too. . . I admit I don't eat as much meat as many amrkns, and would probably be vegetarian if all the meat I could source was "store" bought.
had gator too - not bad, tastes like chikken! (the hush puppies tho' nom nom!)
"had gator too - not bad, tastes like chikken!"
It does, doesn't it ;-)
My "beef" is exactly what I said up top. I have always had a problem with authority telling me what to do...when to do it...where to do it at etc.
An over zealous "authority" is the last thing a free people need in our lives. I could see the vegan thing to a point...but its a personal lifestyle choice, not one to be mandated by the state.
First they came after salt and I did nothing. Then they came after Capn Crunch and still I did nothing. Then they came for Tony the Tiger and there was no one left to help me defend him.
http://blackmarketfood.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/feds-put-tony-the-tiger-and-toucan-sam-on-endangered-species-list/
I have no use for food nazis.
I sucked the juice out of fish eyes...
I understand the "personal lifestyle choice" - I've known a few food-fanatics (fruitarians anyone?) and agree, it's up to the individual, and how their body reacts to the food they choose to eat (some bodies do well with certain diets)
I guess my "beef" (cough) is with the amrkn state pushing its FDA & "food pyramids" & whatever the latest "food fad" corporate product is they need to sell - shit like "margarine" or "high fructose corn syrup" or ANY of the hundreds of test tube additives that make up the fine print of supermarket fudstuffs.
people used to trust all this "fluoride is good for you!" bullshit, and the result is massive health problems - a total score for the insurance/health"care" industry & big pharma pushers - cause you can't have one pill when seven will do better!
having lived most of my adult life outside this country, it's shocking how many people still trust what they're told by the white-coat brigade - even with Monsanto owning the FDA. . . *shakes head*
"I guess my "beef" (cough) is with the amrkn state pushing its FDA & "food pyramids" & whatever the latest "food fad" corporate product is they need to sell"
Which is part & parcel to my point.
The state (and those who ocupy it) always think they know best. I've lived long enough to know they are full of shit,
Eggs was going to kill us all...then not. Coffee was going to kill us all...then not. Alcohol was going to kill us all...then not. I even remember they were getting ready to ban aspirin for some stupid ass reason...then discovered its blood thinning properties might be useful afterall.
There is much in what you say, especially regarding the large food corps. You know my opinion of Monsanto and their desire to corner the corn seed market years ago by bio-engineering seed so the farmer would have to return to them year after year for orn seed. That is the definition of greed driven insanity. The public outcry, not government, stopped them. People were going to refuse to do business with them.
But these cocksuckers need to leave my Tony the Tiger alone ;-)
big mac in zurich, about 9.00 us.....
http://www.mcdonalds.ch/de/menuekarte/burgers-wraps/big-macr
must be the biggie meal.
Tyler always gets his Big Mac in Zurich with a lap dance on the side. That is 14 francs.
Does the Hamburglar give him a happy ending with that?
How can you have the special sauce without a happy ending?
well, we haven't established any number of conditions that would lead to such a "happy ending." - Ned
8.66 not 17.91
1.3959 x 6.19 =8.665381
in chile the big mac is only 10 cents!!! its paradise!! utopia!!! and the happy meal comes with chilean inflation protection bonds!!!! move to chile!!!!
HOLY SH*T! Scrub the other idea. Those same McFutures purchased in Chile would only cost me $10k in benny bucks with a potential return of $1.7MM! I think I'm on to how we can pay off the national debt.....
Soooo..... If I invest in 100,000 big macs in minnesota and have them shipped to zurich I could roughly quadruple my investment? Hmmm... McFutures it is!
won't spoil any in transit either. excellent proposition.
LMAO! How true. I found a McFry under my drivers seat in my car and it looked like it just came from the frier. At the time of the discovery I hadn't eaten at MickeyDees in (roughly) 6 months. It's a once in a blue moon place for me to eat as the closest one is over 80 miles away.
i heard that if you eat enough of mcdonalds, you can actually embalm yourself
Somewhere on the web, there is a video of the decomposition of a McD burger. Quite enlightening.
That would be this one:
http://youtu.be/8uHxRwQqWFo
Not the one I saw. Much earlier, 2001-2 I'm guessing. Also, wasn't in jars and did it with many different foods.
Damn I thought MRE's lasted a long time, those damn McD's French frys last forever, and with out any packaging. what are they made of? Plastic? Adamantium?
McFrizium. Mchalflife of 10 years.
I prefer pickling myself in homemade brew.
how much for a bun and a pickle?
In Chelsea they will put a pickle in your buns, free of charge.
is that the dylan/sid viscious type chelsea-hotel chelsea? i'm not cosmopolitan enough to really get that part of the joke...the pickle part was clear -- it cuts across the geographic divide.
also, i would like to ask a favor of you. If you don't mind, tell me a little about a neighborhood called lenox hill. I recently discovered that a very dear old friend lives there. By that i mean, what's the charecter of the place, and, above all, is it safe? I haven't spoken to her in almost 17 years, and she was the brave/adventerous sort back then. I get worried with all these riots in big cities...she's single.
much appreciated.
Send me her address. I'll check in on her for you.
It's the Upper East Side. There are lot of medical facilities and old people. Hunter College is up there. It is not known as the most happening place but it is definitely safe, as far as I know. The 4, 5, 6 train at Lexington Avenue services that area. You would be just east of Central Park, just a short walk away. You could do a lot worse.
The Chelsea Hotel is on 23rd Street. It has been completely redone. I was really drunk the time I was in the bar but it seemed nice. I did not see Zimmerman at the bar.
dylan or no, i'm very jealous...and that ain't my usual pose.
in fact, i was overwhlemed with this sick feeling; sort of like, 'why does this ...idiot deserve that life more than you?' so you can see how you're an ass.
thank you for the info -- that's EXACTLY what i wanted to hear. it does make me feel better knowing she's far away from vultures like, well, you know who...and for that matter wolves like janus.
stayin up all night/
in the chelsea hotel/
writing sad eyed lady of the low lands for you/
*******, ******* beautiful lady sweet love...,
janus
He actually did not write Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands in the Chelsea Hotel. It was most likely written in the studio in Nashville. But it makes for a nice lyric.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."
And then you got away, didn't you babe...
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.

that would make a pretty good username, i think.
...idiot, yeah, what album was that...hell, i forget about google all the time, nevermind. it's almost like it doesn't matter to know anymore -- but to janus it always matters to know. i also know those nashville years were productive and under-rated.
sorry...i like the song man...give me a leonard cohen afterworld...
edit: what album was that?
edit: gratz superfan!
no, don't get me wrong, i do as well. i was quoting another l cohen song to make another point.
"I think you're gonna be alright here; they have a thin candy shell...thought you'd know that" (tommy boy)
shit...sorry dude...
pennyroyal tea
i reckon you and i are lots alike. Longhorns?/Aggies?...SEC envy?
which leads me to believe you're a no-good, no-account wastral with a chip on his shoulder and a twinkle in the ole evil-eye. you're worthless, my man -- and it's your job to make the world pay for it!
pennyroyal:
awesome, but so damned sad. you could see the speedball working its majik -- grinding jaw coupled with a drifting eye...tragic to see genius frittered like that.

The price of a Mac is not 17. bucks. A MEAL costs 15.96....
(CHF 12.21)still I get your drift.
Please add items that ZH readers actually consume so that we get the picture.
-How much is a lap dance
-How much is a lap dance and a drink in a classy bar
-How much is a lap dance a beer and a joint in a rowdy joint
Oh, and here are your MacDonald's consumers....yuuuuck!

I hope the Economist update their Big Mac index to reflect this!
Look...me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's...I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.
You deserve a break today.
